I've been eating at No. 1 for years, I'd say close to 20 years now. The food is delicious and is one of the best. But it's not, taxing your customers almost double the price now and raising the prices every month ever since covid, the best. I get that prices went up everywhere. But here it seems prices went up and the food portions stayed the same and some even went down. I'll be lucky if my $9 boneless spare ribs lunch special even has enough meat and rice like it did 2-3 year ago, back when it was still a reasonable $5.50-$6. They'd fill up the tray, now it's half the portion of what they used to give. The pork egg rolls? More like cabbage rolls with pork bits. They used to have actual chunks of pork and now it's mainly just cabbage with the smallest bits of pork you've ever seen. Not even an ant would get full from those small bits. Even Ming's Garden, the absolute worst Chinese place in town, gives better portions. As does Golden Dragon and both of these places have lower prices and have been steady with the rising prices. Unlike No. 1 who's Chinese greed finally caught up to them. While I love the food and will continue to eat there, they need to know that customers notice small changes like this. Especially those who have been eating here for almost 20 years. If they continue these patterns, they risk losing loyal customers and damaging their long standing reputation, potentially becoming No. 2 Chinese...
The worst chinese food i have ever eaten. Bland is not even the word that can describe what a waste of money this was. Plus i am posting a pic of the reciept. Look at all the extra ridiculous charges and yet the do not tell you and you wind up tipping them anyway. So if you do have to order from here do not tip thats what the extra charges are for. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!

I'll be searching for a new place. I've been ordering in the past and was pleased but things changed on quality. Maybe changed management? Sorry.

The food is very good, always fresh, and never oversalted. NO MSG here! The family who runs this establishment is very kind and accommodating if you alert them to food sensitivities or if you must adhere to a special diet. If you are gluten free your choices may be limited, but there are a good number of options. Extremely clean kitchen.

Been coming here since I was a kid and every time I come home to visit, No. 1 Chinese is a must!!!!! I've literally found no where else that can hold a candle to their steamed dumplings and the sauce that it comes with. Best food ever!
The best Chinese food I have eaten and in the Matawan town!!!
