One of our favorite places to go in general. When a hankering for Chinese food strikes, it's much preferred over the place in Baraboo and well worth the extra drive. Food and staff have always been great. Love the peanut chicken! Great variety for everyone in my family. Been coming here since summer of 2008 and will continue to do so... read more

Stopped in spur of the moment to get carry-out to surprise wife. Ordered a tofu dish, good ingredients but lacking in full flavor and sauce. Requested spicy but we both agreed very bland. First thing my wife said, wow this is kind of tasteless. I don't do big tips for take-out orders, maybe that was the problem when I prepaid? Disappointing because we don't eat out very often anymore and were looking forward to this. I know tastebuds are subjective for comparison but we've been around the block a couple times. read more

As always, the food is delicious and the service impeccable! We love No. 1 Kitchen and everyone in town are still happy about the restaurant opening in our small, rural town....it NEVER disappoints! read more

They really like to dump sugar into dishes that should not be sweet. Nothing like sitting in a buffet tray for 5 hours to transform mediocre food into indigestible goo. Egg rolls might have been okay 5 hours earlier when they were made, but after sitting all day they had dried out to a consistency of a doggie rawhide chew toy. The ice cream was okay. For $20 I wish I had spent part of that money driving to Middleton or Waunakee for a better experience. read more

This is a very valuable restaurant available for a great dining experience in the Sauk Prairie area for all ages. If you don't have time to dine in with the fresh buffet, you can always enjoy a delicious to-go meal as well! Friendly and skilled staff and fantastic variety of dining ingredients to enjoy! read more

Very disappointed with this restaurant. We were visiting from out of town and thought we would give it a try. The restaurant was about a quarter percent occupied during our visit. First of all they need to remodel a bit, all of the table tops are cracked and missing pieces of the melamine coating, with the raw wood and sand finish exposed. You could not place your silverware directly on the table, most of the tables were like this. I set my phone down and there was sand and dirt on my phone when I picked it up due to the large cracked areas. We arrived when they opened at 11am but there were already people seated, and I would think the food would be Hot since they just opened, but everything was lukewarm, nothing was hot at all, the selection was okay, but i had hoped that they would have some salmon or whitefish, but they had neither. I would never go back, and if we would have known the area better, I would have left and gone elsewhere once I saw the condition of all of the tables. Wish I took a photo of the tables. My advice- go somewhere else, because seeing all of the great reviews leads me to believe that most people in the area do not have high standards for restaurants they eat at. read more

We live in Sauk City and frequent No 1 Kitchen because the cuisine is beyond delicious and the staff is friendly and courteous. Everyone we meet there is happy. Once I was home alone and ill with my asthma. I explained this during a phone call to y'all and within 20 minutes, the owner made a special delivery to our condo. As always, the meals were superb and the actual delivery incredible bonus. Thanks! read more

Went with a large group at noon. Place was busy and food on the buffet was plentiful. Choices were reasonable. Good selection of chicken dishes and vegetables. Especially liked the wontons and baked pastries. Extensive dessert selection, something for everyone. Place is clean but there is very limited contact with staff. Price was $16 which included a fountain drink. read more

Fast, friendly, efficient service. Food is awesome 9 out of 10 times. Once in awhile beef and chicken are tough, but usually tender and delicious. read more

Absolutely the most delicious Chinese food I've eaten in my lifetime! Beautiful and spotlessly clean as well. My family has been dining at No 1 Kitchen for years and have never been disappointed. The buffet area is kept clean and the food keeps coming out piping hot. The staff here couldn't be nicer!!! read more

The food and service is amazing! The owners and workers are very kind, and the food is always warm and well made. Favorite restaurant out there! read more

Definitely won't be back. Food was bland, all of the meat was chewy, food seemed like it had sat for a while, and the crab Rangoon was under cooked. Paid 40 bucks for two people which was by far not worth it. Service was fine. read more

This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in Wisconsin. The owners provide personal service with a smile and to make your dining experience extremely enjoyable and pleasant. The buffet is looked after carefully to ensure hot fresh food and if you order to go they will alter it to fit your desires. The restaurant is clean and pleasant to dine in. read more

General's Chicken and Pineapple are Fresh and Plentiful. Clean tables, staff are pleasant. Plates are clean and previous plates taken fast.

Friendly service for poorly prepared Chinese food. Lived in China 12 years, and while I don't expect authentic Chinese food in the U.S., what is served here is not even good Chinese American food. My Gongbao Jiding dish was half celery with baby corn and carrots--none of which the dish calls for. The wonton soup was flavorless and the dumplings chewy. The buffet is overpriced and includes non-Chinese offerings. read more

Best Chinese food buffet around!! I drive an extra half hour to go here. Great selection, friendly staff, very clean!

If you're looking for cash, fresh and hot, in this category, this is your place. With a fantastic family running the place, to rapid turnover of the dishes cause of great management, this place has always been consistently great. The owners are so pleasant and happy! Mom loves this place! read more

Strip mall location featuring large buffet. We ordered from the menu and i had kung pao chicken and my wife had shrimp with cashews. We have Chinese often and this place served a very respectable lunch including egg roll and fried rice. Sauces were delicious with good quality meats and especially generous vegetables which I especially enjoy. Not the best but very good at reasonable prices. We're not buffet fans and did not try it but ordering from the menu was very good. Worth a visit if you're in the area as we were on our way to Minnesota. Nice small town restaurant. read more

Everything you come to expect in a Chinese restaurant, great service, healthy servings and of course great flavor! I would definitely recommend this place to anybody who is passing through or is just plain hungry read more

Good selection on buffet service was good ànd drink station was clean I had hot tea and soda drink

I was pleasantly surprised how good our dinner was tonight! The crab Rangoon and pork egg rolls were crispy and not too oily. The vegetable lo mein was loaded with veggies and flavorful. Both main entrees had super fresh veggies and the meat in them was very high quality. The egg drop soup was the perfect consistency. Overall, I was impressed by the seasoning of the food, nothing was too salty. We're relieved there's a place close to home to get solid take out. read more

Absolutely terrible save your money! If u want Asian spend the extra time to go to Middleton

We had a wonderful dinner while visiting this place for the 1st time. Heard some good things from family and friends about this place and decided to give it a try. I usually would not rate a buffet, but this one was really good! The food was all fresh, tasted great, looked tasty, constantly being brought out of the kitchen by the staff. Some of our favorites were the coconut shrimp, crab ragoon, peanut butter chicken, and so much more. The place was very clean which is another reason why I chose to leave this review. One of the ladies working here was constantly wiping down the tables, the counters, and really paid attention to detail. It was really nice to see that they seemed to care. Not sure how long this place has been here, but we will be back when we have a taste for some well cooked Chinese Food! Try it out for yourself and you will not be disappointed that you went. Prices were $11.50 per adult for the dinner buffet and $6.50 for a child. Not bad at all we thought. read more

Excellent, fresh food. If you don't see your favorite on the buffet they do have lots of items in their menu. Have a look at the menu on their website. They have a serve yourself drink area, refills of course. read more

Disgusting place. I can't believe it's still open, maybe because it's the only Chinese food in the local area. Located right next to a pet store. Have had lots of my family and friends get sick after eating here. Questionable how long the food sits out in the buffet. Not clean or aesthetically pleasing. read more

Best Chinese food in Wisconsin by far. I have had Chinese in Idaho which sucked, practically no Chinese. But at No. 1, they have nice service and kind staff, it is an honor to have it where I live. read more

We really really wanted this place to be good. The owners are nice people. It started out good, but something happened that left us disappointed. The food started getting sugary. They adjusted all the recipes to maybe what they thought Americans wanted, sugar in everything. Our garlic chicken was sweet, so we stopped ordering that. Eventually the only thing we could find that wasn't sweet was the Mongolian beef. Then they started adding sugar to that. So we went away for a year or so. We gave it another try and tested their lunch buffet. Well, you know how those go, stuff sitting on the steam table, not quite as fresh as ordering from the regular lunch menu. We waited a long time and tried again, and it was better, so we went back a week later and it was sugary again, and horrible. We asked the owner what happened. Different cook on the weekends. We suggested that they supervise the sugar dumped into the food. It is really sad because sometimes it is pretty good, then you go there when the sugar daddy is cooking and it is like some sweet and sour sauce bottle exploded on everything. I took a chinese friend there once who wanted to go to an chinese restaurant and show us what to order. She ordered something she assured us would be special. She was disgusted with what she got, it was like ketchup with sugar on the food. I like the people who run the place. I know they are capable of good cooking and we have had some great meals there, and a lot of sweet sticky things that we could hardly choke down. No consistency, russian roulette. I think if enough people pointed out the problem with over-americanizing (if that is the intent) with all the sugar dumping, they might realize that they could get more business if they stuck with normal chinese cooking instead of assuming from our lard asses that we all must have our sugar fixes. read more

Not the worst but have had better, the fried rice was very very dry and some of the chicken was too hard but other than that the food wasn't bad and the people working were very nice. read more

Great crab rangoon! I ordered the Beef and Brocolli, Veggie Lo Mein, and Chicken Fried Rice, all very good. Would definitely go back.

Like some of the other reviews I've read, I think it's really a roll of the dice as to what kind of food you get. One time it's great, and the next time it's terrible. The hot and sour soup is usually pretty good, but at times it's so spicy you can't eat it. Also, sometimes it's full of tofu. One time the chicken chop suey is great, the next time there's no color to it. It looks like a bowl of steamed vegetables with no flavor. Sometimes the beef dishes are good and sometimes they taste like shoe leather. read more

Great food and really good hospitality. Very nice place to get some good quality food and just hang out with friends.

The coconut shrimp is amazing when its super fresh! The owners are the nicest people.
