Ordered online for the first time. My coworker said it was really good and I got the orange chicken with shrimp lo mien. 10000/10 really good. Definitely will go again and pretty good portions for lunch special. Great deal. Hot and ready read more

Better customer service. A customer also brought her food back. I hope the business doesn't recycle food.

Pretty good for the region! The restaurant is pretty clean. The service is polite and friendly. The food is consistent and I haven't had any bad experiences. Decent vegetarian options! read more

Ordered pork fried rice w/o eggs, hoping it would be made fresh. Nope. The pork was dark brown, burnt, and rubbery. Disgusting! Also, they are SUPER rude! I've given them chance after chance, but decided no more. I hope they get shut down. As an owner of multiple small businesses, I know the importance of a quality product and stellar customer service. Someone needs to teach them that. read more

This is the BEST Chinese in Smyrna. I will drive as far as needed to eat here. The kung pow chicken and fried rice is to die for. Perfect crunch and says saucy! read more

No 1 China - Chinese Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

Best Chinese food in Smyrna! Also, their spare ribs are great. Can't go wrong. All the other reviews are haters

If you are looking for fancy, this ain't your spot...but if you are looking good portion sizes of classic Chinese favorites at a good price, then No. 1 China may just be the spot for you! Located in the Kroger shopping center at the corner of South Cobb and Concord, next to a Papa Johns and Wing Stop sits this tiny old school Chinese spot. Given the current Covid situation, they are limiting dine-in and have now placed a plexiglass barrier on the counter with a tiny door/opening in which payment/food is passed through. While they have updated a few things to ensure they are keeping folks as safe as possible, they have not updated the wall menu board or the décor in this place opening...but at this point, I feel the outdated and slightly dingy décor adds to the essence of a small mom/pop Chinese spot! Food wise we have sampled multiple things from the menu, but our absolutes are the Pork Egg Roll ($1.25), Wonton Soup ($2.95), Sesame Chicken ($7.95) and the House Lo Mein ($6.95). As you can see, we can get all this for less than $20! And for that $20, we get at least two meals out of each dinner as the portion sizes are true to classic Chinese spots, with either the boxes or plastic containers being filled to the brim! I usually judge a spot by their Wonton Soup, and I treated No. 1 China was no different. Luckily for me they passed the test and their Wonton soup had a base of chicken broth (instead of beef!) and featured a few large stuffed wontons and a small packed bag of crispies! Since they passed this test, I was able to dive in to a few other dishes, mainly the chicken and lo mein. The Sesame Chicken dinner combo comes with fried rice and an egg roll, while the Lo Mein is a stand alone. The Lo Mein is packed with all the meats from chicken, beef, pork to shrimp along with the noodles and veggies. The Sesame Chicken is nothing special, but is mixed sized breaded chicken bites with a gooey sweet sauce. The fried rice is just ok, it doesn't come with a bunch of veggies in it, but it is a basic fried rice that hits the spot as a side. Service here is decent, they have always been very friendly on the phone and in store. Sadly they do not offer delivery of any sort, so I usually call my order ahead and go pick it up. I will recommend you make this habit as well, as walking in to order and wait can create a long wait time, as they get a lot of call in orders! With that, they always quote about 20 minutes for pick up time...add 15 to whatever they quote you. I have legit never arrived to find my order ready or to an empty lobby. They are always busy, so be prepared to be patient! Overall, this is a go-to spot for us for quick service, tasty and cheap Chinese food. It may not be the best in the city, but it hits the spot time after time! read more

I decided to give this Chinese restaurant a try since my favorite spot decided to shut down. Parking was easy accessible since it was located inside of the Kroger shopping center. I also called in the order, and it took about 15 minutes. I guess it was okay for the price, but I wasn't that pleased. I ordered the shrimp in garlic sauce lunch special, as well as the chicken fried rice and my total came out to be $13. The Establishment does required to wear a face mask while inside the building. read more

No 1 China - Shrimp in garlic sauce - Chinese Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

Normally, has been good, but, today I was very disappointed! Order the house specia! Chop suey and no beef and plenty of green squash and no bamboo shoots, terrible, I don't like squash ! What happened to buck shoy vegetables? You never had squash in your menu? What's going on! Very, disappointed! read more

This place has sucked for a while now.... But after today I'm completely done. They bread and prefry the wings here,which I dont think is a good practice....then they dip them back into the grease when you order them and toss them around in the sauce afterwards....so the food is not actually fresh. So I requested to have them unbreaded and and the chef acted as if I said something wrong, his response was " NO, they have already been breaded & cooked"..... So I guess I can't get fresh food here.-lol *Bad attitude *Precooked fried wings NOPE!!!! read more

Cashew chicken and egg rolls are sooooo good! Portions are generous and the price is very reasonable. Highly recommend.

This place is located inside Kroger plaza worst wings ever ask for crispy and they were extra soft they wasn't all the way done I had to throw away majority of them also paid 12 dollars for wings just wings and they try to charge extra for dressing and paid for a 10 piece also will not leave no star but they made me out 1 gourmet cafe and wings on delk road had great food and cheaper prices than this and food is way fresher and better I hope no 1 ever eat this place again and also before I enter 3 people inform me that this place NO 1 China is not good but was only thing from food place with no line I learn why they don't have a line horrible read more

When you need that Chinese fix, this is the place. Many great dishes to select from. Four Stars all day... read more

Solid Chinese takeaway with some yummy specialties like Singapore Noodles. Easy online ordering through their website and quick service.

Ok, I know there's probably a Chinese Restaurant in every neighborhood. But when I say #1 China will beat them out. Again, I drive 45 minutes to this place because they know me, and the food is great. I started getting Egg Foo Yong. Very good but I then tried Curry chicken. Also very good. But, I decided to branch out and try the mongolian chicken. Ok, now that's my favorite meal. Large enough for two days when I don't feel like cooking and even when I do cook, I'd prefer #1 China. Their lunch specials are very filling so when you're in the area and haven't been in,check them out. Really great food and nice folks, read more

I love No 1 China. I get takeout from here about once a week and they are my favorite Chinese takeout in the Atlanta area. Had many of the dishes and all are fantastic! Highly recommend the dinner combinations! read more

This is now our go to Chinese restaurant in Smyrna. We've only been here twice but each time it has been really great. They are fast and our orders are always specialized. They follow instructions and get it right every time. We get the egg rolls (roast pork and shrimp), honey chicken, shrimp toast, kung pao chicken with extra peanuts, fried rice (which has egg in it), plain lo mein and crispy chicken no veggies just to name a few things we've tried. We are going to try other stuff on the menu because they continue to bring the flavor. PS always get the large portion not combination read more

My family and I LOVE the food here, and the portions are good size. Its a family business and they are so sweet and kind. Like I said it is a family business so I suggest calling ahead of time and order to pick up since they get in a lot of orders and its just them. Everyone I bring here loves it and the family is hard working so I recommend to anyone. read more

I was introduced to this place by a friend. I didn't think it was going to be good by looking at the area it was in. I quickly fell in love with this little restaurant! I had the orange chicken with the lo mien lunch special. It's a small family owned business. The people that work there are hard working and try to work as fast as possible. I highly recommend this place to my friends! read more

Didn't really like the food or the customer service but atleast the food came out quick

***3.3 stars*** Today, I had My first meal at #1 China. I phoned in My order for the orange chicken lunch special with fried rice and egg drop soup. My order was waiting on Me when I arrived. The employee's didn't seem overly friendly, but they were prompt. The restaurant is clean and brand new. It's designed simply like a take-out place is to be, and has 5 tables for those who prefer to dine-in. By the register, you may help yourself to a variety of to-go sauces including chili pepper sauce (the little containers tend to leak, fyi), eating utensils including chop sticks, tasty imported Asian candy, and fortune cookies. My car filled with a delicious aroma that made Me eager to get home and chow! First, I sampled the fried rice. I rate it flavorful and "Very Good" even as a stand-alone item. It is easily the best fried rice to be had within 5 miles. The ingredients seemed very fresh, and it was not dry, sticky nor oily. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a quart of it based on My experience. Next, I sampled the egg drop soup. It certainly wasn't the thickest nor the best I've had locally but it wasn't at all disagreeable. Overall, it was pretty run of the mill in terms of quality, taste, and quantity. Next time I will order the Hot & Sour soup. Orange chicken is prepared much like General Tso's or Sesame Chicken typically is (for those of us familiar with Chinese cuisine). Small chunks of chicken are battered, fried, and soaking in a sweet brown, orange-flavored sauce. A few pieces of broccoli were also included. The sauce was excellent, very tasty, and I discovered bits of orange pulp in it as well. For the most part, the chicken was tender, however, there were about 4 small chunks that were way too hard to be edible. I would order this dish again based on its flavor alone, but I hope that rock-hard bits wont be an issue again. However, I think I'll opt for a non-fried dish to be safe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2nd Visit: Phoned in an order for Mongolian Beef lunch combination with hot and sour soup. I requested "extra heavy sauce, a lot of sauce" on it. Service was again, prompt - and not overtly friendly. First, I sampled the hot and sour soup, hoping it would be better than their egg drop soup. It certainly was! Though it too was on the thin and watery side, it tasted very good and benefited from an additional dash of their red pepper sauce (available at the cashiers counter) and salt. The fried rice was good this time around too. I've no complaints about the Mongolian Beef except that it seemed My request for extra heavy sauce was exempted. The balance of scallions, onions and beef was ideal, though some may consider the dish heavy with onions. The sauce (though scarce in my sauce-adoring opinion) was so delicious but tasted identical to other Chinese restaurants' versions. The beef was tender, well marinated and the onions were so infused with the sweet flavor of the brown sauce they were practically caramelized. I will definitely order one of their yummy Mongolian dishes again! If you happen to be in the area, I recommend trying this restaurant. They are available for take out or casual dine-in. _____________________________________________________________ 3rd Visit: ***3.7 stars*** (Improving) Today I ordered 2 lunch combination meals. Chicken in Garlic Sauce for Me. Curry Beef for a relative, but I was able to sample the dish. We both ordered the Hot & Sour soup since it out-ranks their eggdrop. The service today was friendly and courteous, served up with a smile. \My order was waiting for Me as-per usual. The cashier had no difficulty splitting the check for Me. The restaurant was busier today than I've ever seen it. Word must be getting out about this new restaurant. There were a few diners sitting down, and a number of people passed Me out the door with their orders in hand. Curry beef was very fragrant and the beef was tender, as were the onions that accompanied this dish. The curry flavor is not as overwhelming as it is in Indian curry dishes. The spiciness was also subtle. I enjoyed their Mongolian Beef more. Chicken in garlic sauce differed from the versions I've tried at other local Chinese restaurants. I had asked for "extra heavy sauce" and My request was honored this time, they even poured a bit on My rice. The sauce was mild but savory, it didn't pack the punch I've grown accustomed to from other places with this dish. The vegetables were very fresh and crisp and included zucchini (first time I've seem this veggie in this dish), carrot, onion, broccoli, baby corn. and snow pea pods. I loved the variety! I would order this dish again. read more

Unfreakinbelievable. On a humbug, decided to check out this strip mall Chinese spot. I figured that it's worth a shot...what, with the close proximity to the hotel, good reviews & all. Opted for the Szechuan chicken with fried rice, and an order of crab rangoon. Admittedly, I had a little bit of sticker shock when my order totaled just under $14. HAS to be good, right? Here's hoping... The crab rangoon are store bought...should've said fuck it when I saw them dipping into the large bag of pre-frozen product and dropping them into the fryer. The Szechuan chicken was decent, hence the 2 stars. Loaded with veg...corn, squash, peppers, oniins, carrots...good amount of chicken. The fried rice had to be seriously doctored up...soy sauce, hot pepper sauce, and several spoonfuls of whatever sauce was in my Szechuan chicken. Those store bought crab rangoon though? Petite, bitter, and they're $4.55 per order. At this price point, there have to be better options... read more

I don't care what anyone says about No 1 China. My husband & I order Beef Teriyaki without carrots on a weekly basis, the owner knows who we are, what we'll order before I finish saying what we'll order, & when I come in to get the food, she knows who we are & it's ready. Yes sometimes there are other customer waiting but the key is, ALWAYS order before you're ready & it'll be ready. The portions are great for left overs & the owners have a great disposition about their restaurant. With COVID I know it's only take out but I think we ALL need to get over issues & move ahead without complaining so much. Thank you for the great food read more

First visit & it was delicious - Tofu with garlic sauce - I'll definitely order there more often.

This place was decent to me. I wasn't expecting anything special or fancy. Just some basic Chinese food. Now I will say, their health score was an 84. So take that for what it is. But I got my food fast and it was soooo good. I haven't had good Chinese food in Atlanta without paying at least $11, this was pretty good and it was around $8.00 for the dinner special. I got General Tso's chicken, plain fried rice, and a vegetable egg roll. You can't beat that with a stick! If I feel the urge to eat Chinese food again, I'll drop by. By the way, I had no issues with customer service and they cooked my food fresh. Hopefully they get that health score up. read more

Nasties wings I've ever had. I literally just threw ate one and threw them away. I'll stick to the wing spot I usually go to

I'll give 4 stars only because my dumplings were made in house and very good. The price point is very nice. Now I wouldn't give 4 stars if I thought this was a fine Chinese restaurant, but it's not. It's fast food Chinese. Mom and pop style and I appreciate the fact that, at least my dish, was made in house. The nice lady at the counter even doctored up my dumpling sauce at my request and served me a little to go water on the house ( the charge for bottled water). Very thoughtful. I'll be back to try some of their regular Chinese dishes. read more

I love this place. Since they first opened it has been our go to chinese fix. Sweet family who runs it. Always consistently good food.

Probably should find another Chinese restaurant in Smyrna. Fried rice here is plain, chicken is hard; everything is pretty much flavorless. Skip it. Maybe even just get some fast food. read more

I use to go here all the time and I actually liked their food but I just found hair in my rice and I'm completely and utterly disgusted. I haven't even eaten all day so I'm so pissed that I now I have to throw it all away. read more

Just ordered take out here. They are very rude and unappreciative to their customers. The food was worse then frozen Chinese food. No taste or seasoning with one entree and the other entree we had was seasoned too much it was very salty and made me feel very bloated and sick. And too add insult to injury they wanted to charge me extra 50 cents for an extra bag of fried wontons for my soup, basically 50 cents for extra crackers. They str over priced for what you get. Save a trip and don't go there there are plenty of other Chinese food places in the area. read more

you have to properly set your expectations when you're doing take out. This place does it pretty well. The flavors etc are all very good. I have been back 3 times and am pleased. The only reason I'm giving them 3 stars instead of 5 is for the portions of meat or seafood if you order something that has a combination of veggies/meat or seafood. They skimp on the meat/seafood pretty severely compared to most places. You're definitely left feeling that you paid a bit too much for mostly vegetables. read more
