My go-to for local Chinese food. They are lightning quick and always friendly. Keeping it real: this is not the place for a romantic anniversary dinner. However, if what you want is a hot, delicious, filling meal (especially to-go) this is a sure bet.

Number 1 Taste is a staple for me. Very generous portions and great deals when ordering online. The twice cooked pork and szechuan beef are delicious, and the veggie lo mein & pork fried rice make their way into every order. Not sure what people are talking about with the comments on rude customer service, I've only ever had pleasant experiences with the staff here.

Make sure you choose to order directly from the restaurant rather than a delivery app. The delivery apps take too big a chunk out of small businesses profits.
