The mongolian beef and mixed vegetables were good, but the chicken in the chicken fried rice looked grey and I didn't want to risk it. We respectfully asked for a refund for just that dish but we were met with "I've never had a complaint in 20 years & I don't want your business - don't come back"

Restaurant seemed unsanitary, and food was bland and smelled questionable. I don't recommend it, nor will I ever order from there again! I'm sorry but never again 😔

My opinion, vegetable with white sauce , beef lomien , pot stickers, chicken bbq, and egg roll. Highly recommend. Very good.
Vegetarian options: Steam vegetables is good too.
Parking: Location is great!
Kid-friendliness: Nice and Friendly. Easy to order.
I am extremely upset at the fact that we ordered for the very first time on Christmas Eve 2024 at this place of business. We spent a total of 69.00 and some change within the order we had 2 large sweet and sour chickens and 1 small sweet and sour chicken which they did not put any sweet and sour sauce in the bag and we definitely were not going to go back as we live about 25 mins away. We order today on 01/04/2025 and I place the order online went to pick up the order to find out that they will only replace the small sweet and sour chicken that is not what we told that day we called to let them know. We didn't mess up the order they did and should have replaced all the sweet and sour chicken that we ordered that day so that being said food is great but I will not return to that place of business due too customer unsatisfactory....

I think their food is really good. I just wish that they would be a little bit cleaner in there. I notice dirt in the eating area quite frequently…

If you’ve ever ordered from No. 1 China in South Elgin on McLean…..
Not one to be THIS petty but I’ve been a regular customer at this SKETCHY place for over 5 years. I return each time (shame on me) because food is genuinely delicious, and reasonably priced, but each time I walk in there I regret ordering…today after working 12 hours at the hospital I come home with dinner for me and my children to find a dead fly in my meal. Ok. I get it, things happen blah blah blah.
But the way the owner handled the situation was worse than me finding a damn fly in my food!!
Best believe I let him keep his little money when my entire $50 went litterly to the trash and had to order food elsewhere. I sure did contact the Health Department.
You’ve been warned. Thank goodness it was JUST a fly and not a whole rat. 😊
We were introduced to this small gem a year ago and has become one of our favorite places. We've only enjoyed their buffet but really, really love it. Their crab Rangoon is great, and their food is always fresh on the buffet.
It is a small place and a bit dated but we've never had a bad meal there. This is my mom's favorite restaurant.
My chicken fried rice...well let me be honest the chicken was nasty ? yet I tolerated the rice after I picked out the chicken. I asked for veggies egg roll and got 2 small spring rolls. Women at the front counter must not understand English. I will never come here again or recommend this place to anyone.
Cold in side to eat.
