good quality ingredients and taste. Much improved over a few years ago. Quickly cooked and close to us here. Thanks
1/21/24 My birthday lunch Szechuan Beef with fluffy rice and egg roll (I always specify fluffy rice) --------------- Lunch size was generous A lot of meat Vegetables were fresh, plentiful and crunchy, not overcooked Rice was nice and fluffy Egg roll and entire meal was very delicious. Service was fast and accurate (note: this was a pick up not delivery order) #1 China is cheaper than many of the other Asian restaurants in this area. Billing was accurate A lot of negative reviews however I've so far had a really good experience with No. 1 China. These folks are very accommodating because I specified no salt or msg.
I can't believe it, our take out was delicious!!! When I used to live closer to No. 1 China, it was my go to, but something happened a decade ago that turned me off. I can't remember now, but I stopped going for some reason...Until today... We are typically disappointed by Chinese take out in our area, so we don't get it. My son, however, loves the chicken and broccoli at a place his out of town grandparents order from, so, today I tried No. 1 China again. I'm glad I did. We ordered two small chicken and broccolis, one with their standard brown sauce and one sub white (garlic) sauce. They both received rave reviews!!! I had the brown sauce and loved it! The chicken and veggies were cooked well and the sauce was very flavorful, exactly what I wanted it to taste like. My son loved the white sauce, he said it tastes as good as his favorite out of town Chinese restaurant. Don't let the strip mall and sort of smelly buffet sway you. The made to order take out was fresh and delicious!
