Amazing, delicious food!! I ordered crag rangoons , general tso extra Spicy and garlic with snow peas. I couldn't stop eating it. It was one of the best delivery Chinese food I've had. I will definitely order from them again. Thank you for making my dinner amazing read more

I have been coming here for years and their food is consistently the best. Its also great that they are locally owned.

Food tastes great and is prepared on time. Nice menu variety. Conveniently located. Nothing fancy but very reliable.

If you're looking for an "authentic" American-style Chinese takeout experience ("authentic" in that it reminds you of the place you grew up ordering from when your parents went out), this is the spot. The food is great, the portions are generous, and the service is fast and welcoming. I particularly enjoy the Singapore noodles. Highly recommend for your Chinese takeout fix. read more

Moved into the area and was craving Chinese. I've been here several times now and it's been consistently good! I usually go for a combination plate with lo mein noodles. So far I love the orange chicken and pepper steak with onion. I will be a regular! :) read more

No 1 Chinese - Combination Platter with orange chicken and beef with garlic sauce. - Szechuan Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We order from here probably at least once a month as it's in the neighborhood. And, as much as I'd like to gatekeep; I can NOT believe they only have three stars. The food is fire, and better than anywhere else I've been for Chinese in Nashville. They are SO fast; you can call an order for pickup and it's ready in 15 minutes. I've never had an order come incorrect; which as a vegetarian is very important to me. As far as dining in; it's a quick service authentic (enough) Chinese restaurant in a shopping center, so if you're expecting a PF Changs vibe that's your problem. Best takeout staple! And, inexpensive for literal QUARTS of food. It seems like the poor reviews are mainly from four plus years ago, and 10000% do not reflect any experience I've had there in the two years I've lived in the area. read more

I was charging my EV around the corner here at Willowbrook Commons, walking around seeing if there was anywhere to eat and that's how I found No 1 Chinese! The restaurant is extremely well maintained and I was greeted kindly. The ambiance facilitates these moods of kindness and cleanliness. I felt welcomed and ready to eat! The chefs were cooking and enjoying their work--I could see their smiles and hear their conversations which made me smile too! They were very fast and the young lady at the front had packed my order within about five minutes or less! She related to me about how sometimes waiting for things seems like it takes forever and sometimes life jumps by super fast! I was impressed with her interpersonal approach to customer service and if you are one your way to another restaurant at this moment, turn around and welcome to No 1 Chinese at Willowbrook Commons! read more

Horrible. Got sick from their food. Will not ever go back again. Shame, because it's in my neighborhood.

Best Chinese takeout in Nashville, always very clean and large portions as well as kind customer service. Prices are great for the quality!

This place deserves more credit than it receives. It offers Chinese food that I find quite satisfying. As a returning customer who lives nearby, I highly recommend it. Personally, my favorite dish is the sweet and sour chicken. Give it a try. read more

Our order was ready on time and the entire order was correct. We were disappointed in the Chinese donuts as they were chewy and doughy. I am used to them being crisp and much smaller. Everything else was excellent. read more

love eating here been eating here for 10+ years. get the bourbon chicken wings I highly recommend!

This place is pretty badly named. You go in thinking that no one is Chinese as the sign states, and then I'm pretty sure they all are. It's an awkward moment all around. On a less serious note, the food is average inexpensive Chinese. It takes a lot longer than it seems like it should to get your food, so plan to order and go to Kroger or somewhere else for exactly 13 minutes longer than you think it should take. Not a bad joint, not fast, filled with a diverse customer flow of people who do not seem to have ever ordered Chinese food in their life or realize you should not get sushi, especially in the south, at a take out Chinese joint. I like it, but it breaks the cardinal rule of Chinese joints. If you're going to be great you don't have to be fast or cheap. If you're going to be cheap you don't have to be fast or great. If you're going to be fast you don't have to be cheap or great. This place is not fast, not great, and not cheap (not horribly pricey, but...) it just seems to not quite do itself justice. Meh prices, average food, meh speed read more

Worst Chinese food I have EVER had. They use cheap ingredients. But the WORST part is that after I gave them my email and phone for delivery purposes I have been inundated with spam and PORN!!!!!! STAY AWAY!!!! read more

I ordered from Uber eats, general tso chicken, lomein, and crab rangoons and it was all AMAZING! Literally some of the best take out I've ever had. 100 stars read more

Completely messed up my order, also I ordered from postmates and took a hour to get here. By the time my order got here the restaurant was already closed. Pretty bummed. read more

Definitely the most underrated Chinese in town. Great consistent, fresh and I could not recommend enough get the bean curd!

I love it here they're always fast and super nice to me and my friends. Food always tastes fresh

Great food their online ready time is pretty accurate quick and simple would recommend.

You know those days where you see yourself curled up on the couch watching TV with a take out box of noodles? These are those noodles. I had the Tso combo plate (would recommend the +$1 for a serving of lo mein and an egg roll) and a garlic broccoli dish. Yum! Exactly what I wanted. Classic Chinese takeout for those days when you literally can't imagine anything else. read more

Summary: It's Chinese food. That's about all I can say for it. I stopped here tonight after shopping at Kroger because I was hungry and this place is a lot closer to where I live than my favorite Chinese food location. I will not be back. I ordered their General Tso asking if they could do all white meat nuggets rather than dark meat breaded nuggets. They said they could, charged me an extra dollar for it...and then this WAS white meat chicken. It wasn't the kind of chicken you normally get in General Tso chicken. It was...not pleasing. Given that lack of deliciousness, I won't try anything else and I won't be recommending it to anyone. Bottom line: You can do better in this town. Really. Go do better. read more

This was my first time eating from this location. I tried it as it was located near a large grocery store. The wait was 10 minutes (not bad). Food was hot. Flavor was very poor quality compared to at least 4 others within 3 miles. Rice was very disappointing. I would not recommend based on other options available. Not a good experience for lunch. My order was General Tso with chicken fried rice. read more

This place is mediocre. I live near it and have tried it many times. It works if you have a Chinese craving. However, the people who work there are NOT very friendly and depending on when you go, the food is a hit or miss. It's good, but I've had better. read more

MAJOR CAVEAT: There is really no good Chinese delivery in Nashville. That being said....this is the best, of the worst. Like others have said, Szechuan Chicken is good. We also like the Mei Fun dishes. Crab Rangoon is alright, when you're craving it. Dumplings are hit and miss. But again, if you want fast, decent Chinese, that gets delivered off an app: this works in a pinch. I never said it was amazing. It just conquers a craving. read more

Disgusting. Ordered the sweet and sour pork on lo mein with a Egg Roll. The sauce was decent, but the pork was more like deep-fried bubbles of nothingness. I don't remember seeing or tasting any pork whatsoever. The lo mein was "low quality, mainly". Gross. One star for the egg roll, but that's about it. This is like Panda Express but without the edibility. Eww, eww, eww. read more

Exactly what I had been looking for all my years living on the east side. Luckily I have this place in my new neighborhood. I love their hot and sour soup and the garlic sauce chicken is always good and full of veggies! Love this place! read more

I'm only giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 because it's cleaner than most of these sh*hole Chinese takeouts but they are all the same. All of their food, no matter which one I go to, their the same & nasty. Seems like the only decent place to get Chinese is at the mall. They overcharge for stuff that taste like it was just cooked in burnt grease & soy sauce. First and last time here. read more

Not sure what has changed in the last 6 months, but whatever it is it has greatly improved the food quality! I live super close to this restaurant and tried it out a few times after moving here about 2 years ago and was not impressed; Ingredients did not seem fresh/soups and such looked and tasted very old. I went there tonight since the subway next to it was only excepting cash and the food was fresh and delicious! read more

Dear Former California people: This is Not California grade Chinese. It's East Coast Chinese - and yes there is a huge difference. (Travelers understand.) That being said, it's the best egg foo yung I've found in the city. It's also super efficient delivery so your food is actually still too hot to touch by the time it gets to my door which I love. I also recommend the Happy Family and Four Seasons. Side note: Also, this location does not have sushi so I'm not sure where the guy from Long Beach is talking about. read more

This was the worst Chinese food I've ever had! The sweet and sour chicken chunks was mostly bread, and the cream cheese crab Rangoon was a big glob of hot cream cheese In a triangle sharp pocket. I threw the whole thing away....disgusting read more

That shit fye if you don't like this place your taste buds are off! Ignore anyone who doesn't like this place. 10/10 would recommend. Their food will make a hood baby go crazy go stupid read more

This place deserves more stars. I was visiting Nashville for work and was way too tired to go out for dinner. I got delivery from here and it was really very good. It was comparable to delivery I get in San Francisco, lots of veggies and very fresh. read more

If you want good MSG laden, old school chimes, garbage made fast, and delivered impossibly fast, it's a good choice. In fact it's your only choice. read more

Don't let the name mislead you, this isn't just another run-of-the-mill fast food Chinese place. Mildly priced and exceptionally fast, they make surprisingly tasty dishes. They aren't the most "customer-friendly" but they get the job done and done well. Not the best name choice but we are in the South, so... Try their steamed dumplings and the kung pao chicken. read more

Definitely one of the worse take out Chinese restaurants I have ordered from. For starters, do not get the sushi. It was not fresh and the fish had a terrible odor and taste. I threw it away! If you order anything with "lobster" be advised it's actually crawfish. Also threw it away. The fried was editable, although my thoughts are, it's pretty freaking hard to mess up fried rice. I also ordered the cashew chicken and it was just frozen vegetables and very small pieces of fried chicken. Also threw it away! Having paid $30+ and tossing most of the items should give you a slight inclination about what experience I had. I would hate to view their kitchen. Very disappointed! read more

I wish I could give zero stars. My fiance and I ordered take out from this restaurant to be delivered. Over an hour passes and we get a rude phone call from the driver who has our address confused. My fiance corrects the problem and thirty more minutes passed. We get another phone call-- EXTREMELY RUDE. This driver proceeds to tell us that we gave him the wrong address.. he is at a hotel and wants to know which room we are in. My fiance tries to explain that he gave him the right address, we live right down the road from that hotel. This driver starts to curse at my fiance and tell him that hes wrong, our address is this hotel he is at. My fiance tells him please do not come to our home, it has been an hour and a half, and after the elapsed time and rude comments, I do not want to see you at my door. Five minutes later this driver is beating on our front door, shouting loud enough to wake up all of our neighbors. My fiance opened the door and told him to leave. My fiance tries to shut the door, this driver PUSHES through trying to walk in to our home, still shouting. My fiance tells him he needs to leave or we are calling the cops-- the driver tries to say that he will call the cops. He goes back to his car and sits in front of our house shouting to the point to where our neighbors come outside to see what is going on. My fiance tells him again that he needs to leave. The driver starts shouting "F---- You" at the top of his lungs over and over and he finally drives away.. still shouting. We called this restaurant to report the actions of this driver and they hung up on us. We are filing a police report and suggest that others who have had similar experiences do the same. I wish I could just rate the food. read more

I love chinese food and I have tried a lot of different places but I really think this is the best place in Nashville for good cheap chinese. We have ordered delivery at least 15 times and its always been super consistent. They are located on Thompson Lane but deliver to East Nashville which fills the void of a good chinese place over here. Try it, you'll be glad you did. read more

This was probably the worst sushi I've ever had! Seemed to be pre-made, old, & held the flavor of another food's smell.

Okay folks - i just ordered delivery for my family - 2 orders of fried dumplings, kung pao chicken and shezuan chicken. OMG - the ONLY edible dish was the shezuan chicken......everything else that involved minor frying was HORRIBLE - obviously the oil they used was rancid and the rest of my order stank and tasted disgusting...stay away from this place - out of a $36 dollar order, only 5.00 was edible - the remainder is sitting in the hallway outside my hotel room....Please stay away!! read more

Out of all the Chinese restaurants I've had and I've had a bunch this is the best as far as quality
