This restaurant is part of a small local chain. It is located in a small strip mall behind the Little Cesar's. The parking lot is small and spots are at a premium. The resturant is an equally small dining area with a few booths. There is a single chair for those waiting for to-go orders to sit. Many end up just taking a seat on one of the booths. The dining area is a bit plain and has a classic feel. The restaurant serves not only egg rolls, as the name implies, they have you typical Chinese food fare including vegetable, pork, beef, shrimp and chicken dishes, chicken fried rice, and lomein. They have lunch specials which are a small portion of the regular meal. I got the teriyaki chicken lunch special, which came with an egg roll and some fried rice. I also got two extra egg rolls to round out my meal. The staff there were friendly, bit I will admit that I did not have much interaction with them. It took about 12 minutes for my lunch to be prepared. It was fresh and hot. It was not the best Chinese food that I had, but it was pretty good. If you are dining in they have the mustard and sweet and sour sauce in bottles on the table. They still have packets available for to-go orders. You can call your order into this restaurant prior to coming. I highly suggest doing this if you are getting an order to-go. This is a nice Chinese food restaurant and it can get packed, especially during lunch time. It is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. read more

My husband and I love this location! We usually dine in instead of doing takeout. They have a few tables and we usually go when it's not super busy. The staff are all super friendly and the tables are always clean and wiped down. One of the waitresses always gives us free cookies which are my absolute favorite! If you've never tried the almond cookies you're missing out. read more

The food overall is pretty good. The rice looks and taste like it's Instant Rice though. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is clean. They allow free refills, but you have to ask for them at the counter. I was a little disappointed that they didn't offer Chicken Egg Rolls, only Pork. It's a small, cute place with decent food. read more

I saw the reviews on the chicken lo mein were awesome. I tried it. It was awesome. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

I have frequented this restaurant for about 20 years. Usually just whenever I'm in the mood for rice, chicken and crab Rangoon. The crab Rangoon here is sweet, which is perfect for me!! Today, I had you guessed it crab Rangoon and spicy lo mein with vegetables and pineapple. It was delicious!! I have to say I miss the mother and father team...but the younger generation is still so pleasant and nice. Having great customer service along with tasty food is right up my alley!! Great job!! So thankful to have you guys in my backyard!! read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. I use to live in Greenwood just down the street. Now that I have moved I still drive to Greenwood for lunch when I can. Talking to one of the owners on this visit she told me this location has been open for 18 years and they have had a restaurant in Greenwood for 40 years. I am pretty sure I have been going for 15 years. And I am have been eating the beef and broccoli lunch for all of those years. The price has has increased over the years but it is still under $8 for an entree fried rice an egg roll and a cup of soup. The food is fresh made to order and it comes out quick. This is a family owned and ran restaurant. I have been see the same faces over the years. I wish them many more years of business and hope they are training the next generation to take over one day. read more

The customer service was great here. For the most part, the food was good but the chicken dishes could have been better. Order: -General Tso's Chicken - Huge pieces of chewy chicken that was dry -Sesame Chicken - Good but huge pieces of chewy chicken -Chicken Fried Rice - Couple of the chicken pieces weren't cooked completely I would definitely order from here again but would probably swap out a coupl dishes for another idea. read more

Always a solid choice. Food was hot, ready to go when they said it would be ready. We got potstickers. We will be back, the restaurant smelled so good. read more

The food, in my opinion, was terrible. It had no taste. The food tasted like the styrofoam containers they put it in for you to eat it while you're there. The rice was very dry. The food was not worth it. They can't even give you a regular plate, but they put it in styrofoam. This was the worst Chinese food I've ever had. They were very friendly, but yuck. I wish I could put zero stars. read more

I decided to eat here for lunch because it is really close to where I work. I ordered the Szechuan beef and a small order of crab Rangoon. Everything had a wonderful flavor. I loved the lunch also came with soup. I ordered them hot and sour soup. And it had an excellent flavor. The only thing missing was they didn't have any mushrooms in the soup, so I don't know if it was just my bowl or that's the way it comes but either way it was still really good. And also the lunch came with an egg roll. Now that I know that I like it I will be eating there frequently. I also updated pictures of the menu the ones that were on here were little outdated. read more

So I usually go to Egg Roll Number 1 off of Emerson and let me tell you that they are not affiliated. No Vietnamese menu. This place is your all America Chinese food. For around $7 lunch, you'll get an entree, soup, egg roll and fried rice. You cannot beat the price! I had chicken and corn in a clear sauce. I love corn and wanted to see what this entree was all about. It was what it stated, chicken and corn with bamboo shoot in white clear sauce. Nothing exciting or special about it. Flavoring was ok. My husband got Hunan beef and it was above average compared to other fast food places. The flavoring was very tasteful and the beef was tender and juicy. Customer service was friendly and fast. Lunch is served until 2:30pm and they were very punctual with when the lunch menu ended. The place was clean and very inviting. I would definitely go back :) read more

Liked almost everything very friendly place They even were running late with my order and gave me cookies read more

Never been disappointed. The food and the prices are very good. I have been eating there for over thirty years.

Having gone here quite a bit over the years I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that Egg Roll Number 1 is criminally underrated. It's always been a great place to get some takeout when I feel like getting some Chinese. read more

Always great service and one of the best Chinese food options in the area. Very loyal to this location and it's always fast and efficient.

this is my favorite chinese food spot, great people and great food. been coming here for over 30 years.

I got food that was burnt. The rice and fried chicken wings we burnt I called and complained about the wings and she claimed that they but "soy sauce" on them. Like whatever. Never buying from here again! read more

We tired for the first time last week and will be back soon!! The food was great ESPECIALLY for the price! Can't wait to try more dishes. Customer service was so good and our order was done quickly too. We ordered in the restaurant and only waited about 10-15 minutes! read more

Drove 30 mins to Greenwood to go to Lotus Gardens only to find they are out of business so drove across the street and wow what an awesome find! We ordered the combo appetizer (don't forget to order an extra egg roll as it only comes with 1) and he got the general chicken and I had to go with my fav, Kung Pao chicken. Everything was super delicious! The only down side was the atmosphere isn't very grand. It didn't phase my husband and I tho as the sweet man behind the counter was super welcoming and kind. He also has an amazing memory, remembering everyone's orders waiting for to-go orders, and is excellent at customer service! The music was also awesome! We will definitely be driving 30 mins to come back again soon! read more

Amazing food and customer service their always nice never had a bad experience here would recommend

I hate knocking small businesses. But the Service was average at best. I ordered the pho tai and it was average. I've had way better and way worse. . Extremely crowded both times I've went. Wanted to give it a fair shake and went several more times, but the outcome was the same. Maybe I'll try something else next time I go. read more

Crab rangoon was good. I ordered the General Tso chicken... I didnt care for it. I have never had General tso with the chicken used for sweet and sour chicken. It gives it a total different taste. Like a honey chicken taste and it just wasn't good to me. Broccoli was good! I did my first uber eats and so well... ya know. I just don't think I will be trying it again. read more

They have excellent fresh food. They are always kind and respectful to all. Their establishment is neat and clean. I have been going there for over 20 years. read more

I have eaten here on several occasions and have tried something different each time. The lunch special portions are generous in size and come with soup and an eggroll. The hot and sour soup is very good. The service is top shelf. I have been welcomed each time I have visited the resuarant. My food has been prepared promptly and delivered to my table with a smile. The owners take pride in the restuarant working to keep it clean. Customer service is exceptional. The Mongolian beef and the curry chicken are my favorites. The curry chicken contained a very generous helping of fresh vegatables cooked perfectly! read more

Worst food I have ever tasted. They brunt my food and egg roll and then I asked could they possibly remake and they said all of their food comes out like that. I informed its a difference between cooked and bring. The chicken was extremely tough and I could not even bite into it. The man at the front and lady were very rude and tried to convince that's their food and would not remake. The man got loud at the front and I asked could he lower his voice so that I can hear and understand what he is saying and I informed him when you have a customer to talk to them with respect and to not yell at just an inquiry about their food. He also double charged me when giving me a refund. This is my first and last time coming to this place. They deserve to be shut down read more

I have gone to this Chinese restaurant since I was in high school. It's one of my ALL-TIME favorites and I hope it never goes out of business. They have good size portion sizes and the food is always hot and ready. It's run by a kind family who are always welcoming. My favorite thing to order here is the chicken lo mein. It's FANTASTIC!! The crab Rangoon is also uh-ma-zing! It's a small little business, but they're always busy. Quality over quantity for sure!! read more

This has become a staple for a quick well priced lunch for my family since moving to greenwood. The bourbon chicken is my favorite thing to get. The egg roll and soup that comes with are good as well. We're also a big fan of the Crab Rangoon. The staff are always very friendly when I go in to pick up the food. read more

This was the worst Chinese food we've ever had. We usually get Chinese from Martinsville which is decent where the egg rolls are crispy and the food is tasty. The egg rolls from here were mushy and had an old deep fryer oily taste. The chicken w vegetables well if you like sliced chewy, tough chicken slathered in tasteless sauce this is for you. What a total waste of money. Will never return and will never ever recommend. Disgusting. read more

My family orders Chinese take-out probably once a month and always from Egg Roll #1. So the main thing to keep in mind is that this is a 100% solid, keep-a-menu-by-the-phone takeout place. The owners are a husband and wife who take two weeks off every summer to go home to China to see family. When they go home, the restaurant is closed for two weeks. My husband always orders the soft noodle combo and he loves it. I typically order chicken and shrimp chop suey (yes, I know that's Americanized Chinese food and I'm very sorry). I love their hot and sour soup so I always order that as well. Whatever I order always tastes like it was just cooked and sent home with me. The vegetables are always brightly-colored and still crispy, the soup has tons of flavor and is the right consistency. And I love that they still use the paper boxes. If you're in the area and you're in the mood for Chinese takeout--check this place out! read more

disgusting. general Tsos chicken was dry and the sauce was runny. rice was half fried, crab rangoons hard as a rock near the ends, chewy where the filling is. the hot and sour soup was congealed and overly sour. horrible experience, stay away read more

Ordered Cashew Shrimp meal and it was so salty it went in the trash can! The shrimp were tiny and covered with way too much breading! I think I will stick with Bamboo from here on out! read more

I've come to ER#1 since I was about 10 and it was still next to the old Green Acres bar. It's quality American Chinese. It's about the cleanest restaurant I've ever been to and the food is good, consistent and the service is very friendly. Good people who are invested in their community! My husband loves the beef stuck and shrimp and beef fried rice (I call it surf and turf fried rice, lol). I'm a sucker for their crab rangoon but also enjoy the crispy honey chicken and chicken fried rice. Have a cold? Try the egg drop soup - a staple cure from my youth! And if you enjoy Pho, do try their sister restaurant in Beech Grove. read more

The first time here. The staff was very friendly. I got the luncheon special from 10:30 to 2:30 they have 28 specials that are only $4.75. I got sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and sweet and sour soup and a egg roll what a deal. read more

For a local business, this place ROCKS! Great food, exceptional customer service and reasonable prices. Their food is Americanized Chinese, however it's delicious. Large portions so you won't go hungry after eating. read more

I have been going to Egg Roll #1 since I was a young kid. We used to go on 1/2 days and have the lunch special that was $2.75! I believe in the last 20+years it has only went up a couple of dollars. I do not get the fried chicken as it has a lot of breading which I don't like. My wife loves it. There egg drop soup is fire! The owners are the kindest people and work their tails off to serve good food at a great price in a clean restaurant. We drive much further for this Chinese restaurant as it is top notch! read more

So glad we finally tried this place. The food is great, you an tell they use fresher ingredients than a lot of Chinese places. Staff is very courteous. Tables were clean. Food takes 10-15 minutes. We dined in and got take out again the next day! So we've tried a few different dishes and appetizers, all very good. And their egg drop soup is the best I've ever had... I didn't even know it was possible to make it better. read more

Love the fast service! Great crab Rangoon and I love, love, love their red sauce and egg rolls!!!

Yesterday we ordered lunch to go. I had cashew chicken. It was the worst Chinese food i ever had . The rice was so dry and tasteless and chicken was so dry it was hard to cut .egg roll was so oily and thick . Waste of money read more

Went in for pick up and was so impressed with how clean the dining area looked. Food was good just did Apps and soup. Very affordable. Will come back again to try some different entrees. I'll edit my review after that. Still haven't found my Chinese food place here in greenwood. Maybe this is it! read more
