This place ok I ordered chicken egg foo young and chicken and broccoli both were super dry no gravy at all for the egg foo young. It was edible. Probably won't order from there again. I like gravy and sauce to eat with my rice. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Only 2 out of the 5 things I got from this restaurant tonight were edible. Within half a hour I was vomiting. The teriyaki beef tasted bland, unseasoned and pretty soggy I took 1 bite and gagged. The wonton soup had 0 flavor ( the soup is was I was looking forward to). The sweat and sour sauce tasted very old and smelled like liquor ( I got this for my 4 year old). The only thing that was okay was the crab wantons and bbq pork and even that was overly saturated in bbq sauce which made it hard to even try to eat. I’ll be looking for a refund.

Been coming here since the early 90's. It is what it is. All these 1 star reviews on here are laughable. Imagine expecting world class service from a Chinese takeout place. Yes, the food is greasy. Yes the staff can be curt. Keep doing your thing, #1!You get what you pay for.

Not terrible but not great either. Food was quite bland but it was affordable. Probably wouldn’t order again.

Food taste is consistent, you'd be surprised to find out there are Chinese restaurants where the food doesn't have flavor, thankfully this place isn't like that at all. Quick and

The food is always very delicious. I always get the pepper, steak and onion or the Szechuan beef. However, this time we got broccoli with chicken and it wasn't very good. I think this was a fluke. I'm only giving four stars mainly because of the one bad meal but also because of their is no atmosphere because it's a takeout place.Number 1 Chinese has always had wonderful food except for the one bad meal. We've eaten there many times and will continue to do so. Thanks!.

Good egg rolls. They made it fresh, however long wait. Poor selection of drinks. Plenty of parking. Will definitely go back and try some new dishes ?

Was out for a walk and stumbled upon this place very traditional tasting Chinese food I was surprised because it looks like every other restaurant. But the food and customer service was amazing.

We placed an order tonight online because it was showing that they were still open at 8:00 we never received the food and no one is answering their phone It goes straight to voicemail!!! Extremely disappointed. We don't know if we'll ever go back there again.

Hadn't planned on takeout but, though the cashier was friendly and there was no waiting, the atmosphere was as uninviting as possible so we got the food to go.The beef was inedible it was so disgusting. Literally couldn't choke it down. My family got chicken and they ate it but only begrudgingly.The sauces were good. Fried rice was odd but good flavor. Best eggrole I've ever eaten, but unfortunately it had peanut in it (very unusual for an eggrole) and I am very allergic to peanut. Yes, I should have asked about peanuts, but there should also be a warning on their menu for common allergens they are adding as unusual ingredients...This place ruined my night on numerous levels. Even without the accidental poisoning, I wouldn't get food there again because of the meat. If you go, maybe try the tofu.
