I have been eating here since they opened. Very rarely disappointed with the taste, price, or portions.

Gen Tsao chicken was not quite right. Sauce did not taste like any other GEN T I have eaten...and not in a good way.

Food was very good. A lot to choose from. Service was slow on a Saturday. Had to order outside and wait but the food was fresh and hot. When we order next time we will call in the order for it to be quicker. read more

Bought food here only once. They have good food and good size portions if you get the platters. The shrimp they serve are large. The prices have gone up, so that would be the only drawback I see. read more

They have really fallen off . Honey chicken was super hard & crunchy like it had been heated too many time. Definitely serving old food! I have been going there for years , won't be going back though! read more

No 1 China is #1 for a reason. You taste the love in every bite. It was a rainy Sunday night and I had a craving. General Tso's extra spicy with pork fried rice and some hot 'n' sour soup. Everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned and well-cooked. The service was fast and friendly. Prices were reasonable. It is takeout only so no points to be awarded for ambiance lol. It is tucked away at the end of a shopping center that used to be home to a Bi-Lo grocery store. My new go-to for Chinese food in Greenville. read more

Best Bang For your Buck I called ahead 15 minutes before I arrived and ordered the General Tso Chicken Lunch Upon arrival and payment I dug in to a wonderful serving size of Yellow Rice and Chicken! The chicken was good but texturally inconsistent from piece to piece some crunchier and some chewier than others, BUT this means it's genuine chicken and did not bother me as overall it tasted great! Overall the place was a great deal as the whole meal was 7$ and I saved some for later ;) read more

No 1 China - a takeout container with rice and meat - Chinese Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

I used to love this place but I came recently and I came 30 minutes before closing but their hours aren't correct online it says they close at 11 when really it's 10:30. I ordered shrimp fried rice and wings and got horribly sick the next morning and vomited anything I ate even water. It was awful and wasn't until late in the day I started feeling better. I've seen other reviews with similar experiences with ordering their food late. Honestly should've figured when the door was held together by tape. Eat with caution if you're coming late read more

Ordered from restaurant on Tuesday March 8, 2022. I wanted some fried crab sticks and was in the area and remembered this is one Chinese restaurant that's sells fried crab sticks. I ordered fried crab sticks, my 14 year old son wanted teriyaki wings with shrimp fried rice and since he ordered I always love shrimp with broccoli with curry sauce. I asked to add big onions to my order it was extra for the added onions and side orders of sauce for fried crab sticks. We got home my sons food was fine and he was able to eat it. My fried crab sticks were good too. I opened my shrimp with broccoli and curry sauce and it didn't look like what I am use to fresh food looking like. I taste my shrimp with broccoli and curry sauce and it taste like piss (sorry to say that but it did) pure piss not pee piss and my shrimp taste like they were rotten. This restaurant has definitely fallen off the radar of the inspectors and please be careful ordering food online then going to pick up your food. The restaurant inside is closed off and you stand outside to pay and pick up your order. The menu on the window of the restaurant had a dead stink bug stuck to it and looking inside the inside is piled with boxes and books everywhere. It doesn't look clean at all. I still paid over $30.00 for our food and was hoping it would be good but no way I took that one bite and tossed it in the trash gross no way I was eating any of that besides the crab sticks. My son heard me and was feeling grossed out and it effected him enjoying his food. I felt sick the whole time eating the crab sticks with how my shrimp with broccoli tasted ugh so so disgusting. I was starving and really wanted to eat my shrimp with broccoli and curry sauce but it was impossible. I asked my oldest son to taste it and see if he wanted it before I tossed it and he is the greediest person I know and he even said no way ma that's nasty and taste like piss. For him to say it taste like piss surprised me to think "I know they didn't piss in my food" there were no bad interactions of no kind I was extremely courteous. I will be reporting them to the Greenville South Carolina food and safety inspectors. This is unacceptable and wasted my money. Since Covid I understand not having the inside open to the public but that do not mean use the area where the public suppose to be to pile books and boxes on the inside of your restaurant. From the looks of the inside public area I can not imagine what the kitchen looks like back there. I'm so grossed out and will be cautious of ordering food then picking it up. This is why I cook at home mostly!!!!. read more

Yes, I ordered Take-Out 30 minutes before they closed. I got Sesame Chicken & received something SUPER SPICY, & I like spicy but this was some intentional type sh*t... Especially for SESAME CHICKEN that isn't spicy... Soo.. that aside i thought I had bitten my lip & NO there was tiny pieces of glass in the breading of my dang chicken!!!!! My stomach hurts so bad I want to cry. I am just shocked at the conniving behavior. It's scary that you can't trust people with your food! read more

Typical American-Chinese food. Lunch portion was gigantic for the price. Totally worth the money. 2.5 stars for the food since it's nothing special plus .5 stars for the massive portion size. Worth it if you want a massive amount of food for not much money. read more

Delicious food and you get a ton of food for what you pay. Very worth it! I've never had a bad meal here :-)

Fire has amazing food and great quality and quantity. 10/10 recommended. Service is great.

Tonight I had the teriyaki chicken kebabs on rice. The chicken was tender and flavorful and the rice was nice and sticky and soft. My only complaint is that there were no sauce packets in the bag. Other than that, it was a great meal! Thanks, No 1 China! read more

No 1 China - Teriyaki chicken and rice combo. Would have loved some soy sauce but it was still yummy! - Chinese Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

I goe here exclusively for their hot and sour soup and I love their takeout. Always have had quick and polite service (they're so nice!) This is one of my comfort food spots Usually we grab the soup, steamed dumplings and an entree each and it feeds us well for a while. Definitely cant eat all that at one time but it's worth it to try! The building definitely has a hole in the wall feel but I've been going there periodically for years, never once saw a cleanliness problem. I enjoy sitting to eat there, it feels like a genuine diamond in the rough type of place read more

Three stars... That's all I can get myself to rate this restaurant. I'm not sure how they get an A rating from DHEC because the place looks like it needs a thorough cleaning. But they must be doing something right because it's still open even after businesses closed on this strip. I picked up my order of wings and fried rice combo, a large wonton soup, egg rolls, and spring rolls. The food was good and hot when I got it. The chicken wings were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The skin was crispy without the heavy batter. The filling of the spring rolls were a little mushy but the wrap is thin and crispy. I would most likely come back here but I'll get my order to go. read more

Summary: Exactly what you would expect from cheap Chinese food. Slightly above-average when compared to similar Chinese restaurants. I went in with low expectations after reading some of the poor reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised by both the service and the food. The lady working at the front counter was nice and smiled at me. I called the order in before driving to pick it up, and I waited another 3-5 minutes for it to be ready. She estimated "15 minutes" when I ordered it, and that's about how long it took. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken Combination Plate, which was $8.20 after taxes. I received a generous helping of chicken, pork fried rice, an egg roll, and a fortune cookie (I didn't want any sauce). The chicken was very hot and had a tangy, sweet flavor. The rice was a touch dry but very tasty. The egg roll was good, and the fortune cookie had an actual fortune! I am a 6'2" 180lb man with an average appetite, and I could not finish it all in one sitting. Overall, a good experience. I will certainly go back if I'm in the mood for cheap Chinese food! Please up-vote my pictures as well! Thank you! read more

We decided to order several items for pickup. We had read good reviews about certain dishes and decided to give it a try. I'm not sure if we went on a bad day, but out of the five different items we ordered...they were all the same basic sauce with variations. The fried rice that was eight dollars for a little pint, was old and crunchy. I still will give it a three star because the staff was extremely nice and the portions large. I don't want to see a business fail during these times, but I'm confused why they got such high ratings from some of the reviewers? We won't go again, but I would like to hope we just went on a not so good day. read more

Hands down the best take-out Chinese in Greenville, SC. Where I'm from cheap Chinese take-out is really popular, like a good place on every corner or at least in every neighborhood. So I was really disappointed when I came to Greenville and found this genre of food missing. Literally no one else in town is as good as No.1 China... NOT TO BE CONFUSED with Number One China on Woodruff Rd. Trust me you don't want to make that mistake. What makes it so good you may be asking? The quality of the dishes- always fresh, superb meat to breading ration (none of that it's all breading and no meat business), great sauces that are distinct from dish to dish (none of that every dish tastes the same BS). PLUS the sweet Chinese family that owns it, has been there for YEARS and are always so nice. They have a daughter who has grown up in the restaurant and now helps with the register. We adore them. read more

First and only time we will go. We are looking for a nearby Chinese carryout for the basic. A good fried rice and a spicy General Tso's. Not here! The fried rice was half cooked. As in crunchy. Not good. The "spicy" was an invisible heat. Not whole chilies like other places. So "not" good that we threw the leftovers out. And that is sad. Where is a good place for basic Chinese im n the Wade Hampton area? Help! read more

This place is incredible - from the wings to the lo mien we recommend everything! Quick, delicious and overly large portions at a great price :) read more

I just can't get behind No 1 China. I have friends and even family who like it but there's better Chinese out there in Greenville than No 1. It's as if they're just throwing as much sugar and oil into a sauce as they can rather than creating a good, well-spiced Chinese dish. I want to like this neighborhood restaurant but I cannot. read more

This is certainly your neighborhood family-owned fast food chinese american restaurant. If your expectations is something along the lines of PF Chang's or Panda Express, please lower them now by the time you finish reading this! Despite their phony "top 100 chinese restaurant menu award" that is proudly displayed on their window, what you will get from this place is a hard-working, friendly owned establishment that serves some tasty Chinese Americanized fast food at a great value! Though "some" of their dishes may look questionable, rest assured, you will leave satisfied! Both wallet and tummy-wise, might I say. This place is also great for catering. I purchased 2 large pans of fried rice and low-mein for my co-workers. All of them, which by the way gave 2 thumbs up! Warning: If you finish either their combo plate or entree, be prepared for food coma and nap! read more

They have hands down the best Chinese carry out in Greenville. Best hot and sour soup for sure.

One of my favorite fast food Chinese restaurants. I like the chicken stick appetizer. It is enough for a whole meal. The chicken on the stick has twice as much meat on it the than other Chinese restaurants and is very tasty. Their sweet and sour chicken I have tried is also very good. read more

Dried out fried rice and overly sauced chicken was served as the General Tso's lunch special. I won't be going back.

This place is what it is, a little Chinese restaurant. The prices are low, you get a lot of food, and it's good! I haven't had anything that I don't like from here and I've been making a point to try to get something new every time I come. The soups, especially hot and sour, are delicious. The woman at the counter is sweet, and it doesn't take too long to get my food. read more

We love this place. We have gotten take out here for abut 15 years. If you are craving just good take out Chinese this is your place. There are two must get for us the chicken on a stick and the Wonton soup. The Chicken on a stick is juicy and so good. The Wonton soup has a great broth. I have had alot off the menu and everything I have has is really good. A few favorites are the Magnolian Beef, Moo Goo Gai Pan and the Lo-Mein. This is just a favorite hole in the wall good take out Chinese place. The owner is super nice and every once in a while they will throw in free Chinese donuts or cookies. Always a really good unexpected good treat. read more

I really wanted to like this place...mainly because it's within walking distance to my house, and who wouldn't want a good Chinese take-out place within walking distance? It would be a dream come true! Alas, bleh...nope. The hot and sour soup was more "sweet and peppery"...the only "hot" coming from an abundance of black pepper. And the sweetness? I dunno. The appetizer sampler had several inedible items, including the scallops, crab and cream cheese puffs, and the shrimp toast. The garlic chicken entree was ok...but maybe because everything else wasn't so good. On top of that, it was HOT inside...like really hot. It is currently summer in South Carolina, and it was actually COOLER to wait outside than to wait for our order inside. Oh well... read more

I went here with a friend from church, which is just a bowshot away. It was Holy Week and we were hoping to get some fast food we could eat. By "fast" I mean Lent-Friendly, not high velocity. It certainly was not high velocity. The atmosphere was, well, post apocalyptic. Picture yourself taking refuge in a Chinese take-out place twenty years after a Zombie Apocalypse. Everything on the walls is faded. There are two side-vent chimneys, and one of them has a shot fan-bearing, so it makes this grinding sound as it runs. There is a humorous "Top 100" sign on the door. Whoever gave that award, must have never been ANYWHERE ELSE! The vinyl seats are torn. It's a place that looks like its apex has come and is long gone. The Glory has Departed. We waited for 10-15 minutes before finally being served. My friend became agitated and said he wanted his money back, so we could go someplace else. We were not aware if they had even begun to prepare our food several minutes after we placed the order, and there was no one else in the store. The woman behind the counter became very upset and was yelling at both of us, even though I didn't open my mouth the whole time. She came out and plopped this nasty gelatinous stuff in a plastic bowl and some rice on a Styrofoam plate. The nasty, gelatinous clear liquid was inedible. It was so vile. People don't eat that poorly in third-world countries. I'm sure of it! The rice was the best part, and it was very mediocre. The packs of duck sauce must have been from the Han Dynasty, because I KNOW they weren't any good. I almost vomited because of the smell and taste of the "food". I threw that stuff in the trash, which is where it belongs. read more

worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. I'm sorry, being from NY and having China Town and the best Chinese Food for miles, I take this food seriously. I will not be going back again. Sorry, not sorry! read more

This review is based only on takeout. Nobody would ever want to dine in. The establishment is really not intended in my opinion for dining in. It's very messy and isn't presentable even though there are tables, etc. I always order the sesame chicken and crab rangoons and they are to die for. Sesame chicken can taste so different at so many places, but this place gets it right. The sauce is just spicy enough and also has just the right amount of tanginess. Also it's not too runny, and has the perfect thickness. The chicken also has the perfect crunch, not soggy like other places. The rice is always fresh and has crisp, fresh onions and chicken chopped in it. Very good. The crag rangoons are my favorite also! Very full unlike other places that skimp on the stuffing. Overall this is a good chinese takeout place for what I normally buy. read more

Perfect neighborhood Chinese carryout. The family is nice and hard working. The food is delicious and consistent at a good price.

We order from here often... and they deliver! I really like the hot and sour soup, rice and egg rolls. The crab rangoon is good. I sometimes change it up and get the fried toufu. I like that it has that family owned feel to it. We order many other things too, but I totally would spell them wrong. read more

This place is the best Chinese in Greenville. They are truly making Chinese food great again! I love the Chinese food, the Chinese food loves me. I have a great relationship with the Chinese food. It's fantastic! What their doing there... It's gonna be huge. I work with the Chinese food the best, no one is better. The people say it, the polls say it, everyone knows.. The Chinese food and I are great. Fantastic. Together, we make Chinese food great again! read more

Overwhelmingly average Chinese food joint. Not bad, just not memorable. I was staying at the Holiday Inn a block away, so I figured despite the bad review, I would walk over and give it a shot. Steamed shrimp & veggies was ok. A lot of broccoli though. As with any other take out joint, it was quick and difficult to understand the lady working the register. If I was staying at the HI again, I would go again. read more

This is the nearest Chinese take out to me and I was hoping for something decent at least. I was sorely disappointed. I ordered the General Zhou chicken combo with pork fried rice, egg roll and chicken on a stick. The General chic was chewy and fried rice was dry. The General chicken was also terribly sweet. To give them credit the egg roll was large but not remarkable. However the chic on stick was good and plentiful (6 pieces). I did something I've never done before and returned the General chicken. The little lady behind the counter did exchange the entrée for pork lo meine but implied it was my fault for not ordering the chicken undercooked. What the heck? Lo meine was so so. I will not be back. read more
