One of the few Chinese restaurants in Carrick, and honestly one of the better ones. You really can't beat their lunch deal at a little over $7. This time we decided to try dinner instead and ordered the General Tso's, the Mei Fun, and Buddha's Delight. The Mei Fun came with chicken, pork, shrimp, and vegetables. I really liked the flavor of the noodles and especially enjoyed the shrimp and vegetables. The pork and chicken were fine, but I kept finding myself going back to the vegetables and shrimp. The Buddha's Delight was also good. I loved how much variety there was in the vegetables which included bamboo shoots, broccoli, onions, celery, snow peas, water chestnuts, baby corn, and mushrooms which were all standouts. I was less excited about the tofu at first, but appreciated it more the next day when I mixed them with my own noodles. The General Tso's had a well-balanced flavor and I must say that I feel this was noticeably better than Hunan Wok's version, which skews more toward candy-sweet. The service is always incredibly kind and lightning fast. While the takeout containers held up well and kept everything secure without anything leaking, my one wish is that they'd move away from black plastic containers, since black plastics can sometimes contain flame retardants being that they often used recycled electronics. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Next time I'll probably lean more toward vegetable-focused dishes, and am curious about the rest of the menu. I also plan to try bringing my own container for takeout when I come back so as to avoid the black plastic. read more

I ordered Gen Tso and the establishment had just opened which is a nice early opening 10:30A. Unfortunately something was a tad off in the sauce. Almost like it was missing a bit of heat, perhaps those pepper things. I'm not entirely sure. I'll try this place again.... read more

I've been ordering from here since 2013 and my order is always correct, prompt, and delicious. I stopped eating meat in 2015 and all of their tofu dishes are delicious, too! The containers are always packed to the brim and I feel like it's a great value. Also their prices haven't gone up much in 12 years I've been ordering from them. My little dog always greeted the delivery driver and when she passed away he noticed her absence and expressed his condolences which warmed my heart. I love no. 1 kitchen and will be a loyal customer as long as they're open :) read more

The food here is delicious! Their wonton soup is the best I've ever had! Also like their hot and sour soup. My sister Vi and I love their chicken with broccoli! Their delivery is usually less than 45 minutes, unless they're very busy then it will be around an hour! This is our go to Chinese spot now. read more

This place is right next door to the Carrick Shop n Save if anyone is ever looking for it. I never really go inside, just mostly have had delivery. They deliver with a minimum $10 order. My orders have always been precise and timely. It's a normal decent tasting Chinese restaurant. The crab Rangoons are very tasty here though. You really can't go wrong with the prices and they always honor the coupons on the front of the menu when you mention them. I'm not the most adventurous when it comes to Chinese food, but the General Tso's, Sweet & Sour Chicken & the Lo Mein are always good. read more

WORST SERVICE IVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!! i waited 2 hours for my food. I called them after the first hour because they told me it would be 30-45 minutes when i ordered so i ask them where is my food they say it's on the way then hangs up on me. another hour passed i called them again told them i want my food half off or for free for making me wait this long and my food wouldn't even be hot anymore they refused. driver gets here and told me they purposely been making people wait 2-3 hours for there food today. the food is terrible and there the most disgusting people hung up on me when i called back and were so rude. DONT EVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! there's so much better chinese food in pittsburgh!! read more

The garlic beef was edible.. that's about as much as I would give this establishment. Workers eating and coughing in the back in plain view. The hostess was awesome! read more

No. 1 Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The food is fresh and delicious! My favorite is the chicken with broccoli! It's super high quality!

No. 1 Kitchen has a staggeringly large menu that includes burgers, filet of fish, submarines, and even chicken wings! Despite that, my family kept it safe, going with General Tso's Chicken, Beef Fried Rice, Egg Rolls, Steamed Dumplings, Spare Ribs, and something called Spicy Stir-Fried Jumbo Shrimp. Blame a coupon that came in the mail. The SSFJS should have been named Lotsa Diced Onions With Some Shrimp In A Sweet Red Sauce. Not that it was terrible, but I'm wondering if there was a mistake made in the kitchen for one. Secondly, the diced onions were way too abundant. The shrimp, however, was juicy and plump. Their crisp, candied General Tso's Chicken was fine but wasn't at all a step beyond what I've had at other Chinese restaurants. The Beef Fried Rice was fluffy enough and had just enough strips of beef. Mildly flavorful is how I'd describe the egg rolls. Chinese Spare Ribs always seem to have that smoky flavor to them, and in that regard, No. 1's were up to par yet were somewhat gummy. As is often the case, the rich, doughy Steamed Pork Dumplings were the sleeper feature of the meal. Thus was our fairish takeout meal. Sorry to bore you. Are you still with me? Hell, am I getting bored with Chinese food? Man, it used to be such a novelty. *sigh* Although, getting a steak hoagie from a Chinese restaurant is just too crazy not to attempt. read more

I have read reviews about how large the menu is, or people having to use the restroom right after eating here. Well Chinese take out restaurants typically have a large menu, I.e. Hunan chicken lo mien, Hunan chicken chow mien, Hunan chicken with white rice, Szechuan chicken lo mien etc. The menu is not really that big it's the same chicken with different starch and sauce or spice level. Picture a bar listing every wing entree, buffalo wing, BBQ wings, buffalo flats, BBQ flats, buffalo drumettes, etc. So that should not even really matter into this review. Now the bathroom comments, you eat, you go to the bathroom. That's nature. Maybe this time you get the "runs". Are you already under the weather? Should you even eat the spice you ordered? What did you eat earlier? Unless you are part of a serious outbreak, e-coli, bacillus, food poising, etc. these comments really have no need to be said either. With all that said, this place is good, not great but good. The prices and the service speed is what makes this place have a value to me. Everything ordered so far was good! I have had some bad tasting, sloppy looking, skimpy serving Chinese food. This place has not done that yet. However, human error will happen and I am sure I will be disappointed at some point but that will not effect my standing on this place. read more

January 1st I dragged my hung-over hiney to Foodland, hoping fresh air and ground beef would cure me. They were closed, but No. 1 Kitchen was open so I chanced it. They have been in that little shopping complex for about 5 years and their free delivery (with $8 order) has made them pretty popular. The interior follows the code of all strip mall joints: drop ceilings, fluorescent lights, laminate tables with metal chairs, and the obligatory glowing overhead menu with unappetizing pictures of popular dishes. The saving grace was a wall-sized 3D landscape mounted in a huge gilt frame. Upon closer inspection the scene, which looked to have been carved out of wood, was actually made from cork board and styrofoam. Points! After I got over my surroundings I managed to order a quart of wonton soup ($2.25), two pork egg rolls ($2), and a pint of beef with hot pepper sauce ($5.20). My order took a good 7 or 8 minutes to make so I know those rolls were fried to order! I took everything to go and shared it with my man who had nursed me thus far. The soup broth was a simple chicken stock, with fresh scallions: a combination that had instant healing effects. The wontons themselves were too heavy, but as leftovers they were perfect so I think they just needed a few more minutes in the pan. Our egg rolls were surprisingly light and crispy, and the beef was dressed with crunchy onions and peppers, which would've been better a bit more spicy. This $10 meal fed us twice and soothed my throbbing head -- making it a happy New Year. read more

My household and I order delivery from this restaurant about twice a month. The food is always consistently good and fresh! The portions are great considering I always have enough for lunch the next day. read more

Our favorite Chinese food spot for delivery. The food is always hot, fresh and consistent. Delivery drivers are always very friendly. And they never mess up on the orders. Try the General Tso Shrimp! And the shrimp egg rolls are crispy and full of fresh vegetables! My sons use to order from here all the time and now I see why. read more

I think we need to call this what it is. Cheap, easy, Chinese food. I've never had any 'bathroom' issues out of the ordinary after eating any other greasy meal. They deliver fast, are fairly friendly and it's affordable. I don't think they're trying to be anything gourmet and this fits my Chinese needs perfectly. read more

Fried rice was above average. After adding soy sauce. Bought General Tso's also, because it was recommended by a friend, but it was like ketchup on small fried bits. yuk. NO friendliness. I wonder if i'm in a fascist state. wtf. Booo. read more

I have ordered takeout from this restaurant for almost a year. The last time I ordered there were dead bugs in the food. Something black with wings was stuck to the side of the dumpling order! I called them and they said since I threatened not to order from them any more if (after the third time of requesting) they didn't put utensils (not even chopsticks came with the order!) that they were not going to give me anything as a refund! I said "there were bugs in my food"! So the owner came to my place of business and gave me a $4.00 refund for just the dumplings, not a refund for the entire order of $17.00! Terrible. Eat there at YOUR own risk. read more

Had lunch delivered to our home. The food arrived just barely warm and we both got 'intestinal discomfort' followed by a lot of time on the toilet later that day. Made the connection after the third time we got lunch from this place over the course of several months with the same result. For this reason, we have nicknamed them "Number 2 Kitchen" and no longer go here. read more

I live near this place, thought I would give them a try, so I called and placed a carry-out order, and thought I would pick it up on my way to work. They do not understand the concept of carry-out, dropped in to pick-up my order, 30 minutes after calling it in, and they started to prepare it once I inquired about the order - took another 15 minutes, made me late for work. Got to work and bit into the Crab Rangoon, it was green inside and had no cheese, awful, I spit it out and so did my friend that had some. I stopped back by on my way home from work, to tell them they didn't give me Crab Rangoon, they told me that was what I was given - I have never in my life seen Crab Rangoon green inside with no cream cheese, a waste of money and time because that stuff was awful. The other item I ordered was Moo Shoo Chicken, it was edible, that is all I can say - I would rather spend more money, and drive farther to get some good chinese food, so much for eating at local neigborhood restaurants. read more

I thought this food was very tasty! The dumplings were awesome and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely get Chinese food from here again. read more

It was a Friday night and while most places took an hour or more for delivery, we received our food in forty minutes. The delivery gentleman was cheerful and courteous, and our food was hot and delicious. We highly recommend the No. 1 Kitchen, you'll be pleasantly full! read more
