Yes, there are several ways to express the concept of "once" in Chinese, particularly in the context of "once upon a time." While "有一次" (yǒu yí cì) is commonly used, you can also use other phrases:
以前 (yǐqián) - This phrase translates to "before" or "in the past." It conveys the idea of a time that has passed and can be used interchangeably with "once" in certain contexts.
从前 (cóngqián) - This expression means "long ago" or "in the old days." It is commonly used in fairy tales and stories, functioning similarly to "once upon a time."

When someone says "有一次 (yǒu yī cì)," which translates to "once" or "once upon a time," it's often an introduction to a story or a memory. A suitable response would depend on the context and your interest in what they are about to share.
If you want to express that you have a similar experience, you might say, "我也有一次这样的经历 (wǒ yě yǒu yī cì zhèyàng de jīnglì)," meaning "I also had a similar experience once." This can create a connection and encourage further discussion.

有一次 (yǒu yī cì) is typically used to refer to a single event that happened in the past. It is often used to introduce a story or anecdote, similar to the English phrase "once upon a time". For example, one might say 有一次 (yǒu yī cì) 我去了一个新的国家 (wǒ qù le yī gè xīn de guójiā) "Once, I went to a new country".
