Looks like your typical Chinese fast food hole in the wall, but it's more. Place is SPOTLESS clean. Ladies behind the counter are super friendly. Place gets really busy at dinner time, so an hour delivery wait could be ready in 15 mins if you are willing to pick up. Have yet to have a Chinese dish there I didn't like or that wasn't fresh. Prices are unbeatable and they even have american stuff for the kids or picky people. Only deducting one star because they have a Mexican menu which is gross. These guys should ditch the fake Mexican and just concentrate on their well above average Chinese food. read more

This place earned my loyalty after just one meal. Restaurant personnel were courteous and I felt thoroughly pleased. I find this place remarkably different. All food here delivers quality. The location was distinctive, the cuisine was good and I had an enjoyable experience. read more

Got a mexican dinner combo of steak tacos and fries...nothing special by any means but the steak was good. Ordered ahead online for pickup at the time my dinner break was scheduled for. Was ready for pickup promptly. read more

Ordered sesame chicken with broccoli guess what no broccoli. I can't back and they said you want me to send 2 pieces of broccoli !!! So I will never order from them again !!! read more

Egg roll very fresh, huge plus. Burrito huge disaster (completely bland/soggy/tasteless)... Happy to try more the 'Chinese' cuisine.. read more

Five stars because this place is always solid. I typically call in and pick up my order. Wait time is no longer than ten minutes and food is ready when I arrive. My general tso always tastes great! Staff is friendly. read more

No. 1 Restaurant - General tso chicken with yellow plain fried rice...$7 - Tex-Mex Near Me - New York, New York

Because they were closest, decided to order veggie tacos from them (I was craving them and there are no other nearby options). Bland, tasteless garbage. I've not tried the Chinese food oddly enough. But I'd be willing to. The 2nd star is for being friendly and quick. read more

This used to be my favorite Chinese food in the neighborhood. Over the past year or so it has become barely edible. Undercooked , overcooked, too much corn starch making for gloppy sauces. I no longer order food from No. 1. So sad. read more

My boyfriend and I lived on the same block as this place for a year and ordered from here once a week. Both the Chinese and Mexican food was always hot, fresh, delicious, and speedy delivery. Love this place and miss it! read more

OMG, No. 1 Restaurant was definitely wonderful. Awesome menu. Such a fabulous menu, it was quite hard to choose, but I am really happy that I got Yat Gaw Mein Soup. The staff is excellent and very welcoming. My compliments to No. 1 Restaurant it's a 10 star. read more

Second time ordering through Seamless. Food was on time, but I discovered a COCKROACH in the bag. I will NEVER order from here again. And when I tried to contact them for a refund, they refused to refund me unless I returned the food. I had already thrown it out, because why do I want cockroach infested food in my house? The woman was incredibly rude, and tried to act like this could never happen at her restaurant. read more

Was super excited to order from a new place. Chinese AND TexMex dishes, and then I saw that they have Yat Gaw Mein Soup... I couldn't wait and the 30 minutes it took to get to me (10 + blocks away) seemed like an eternity. Delivery guy was nice but did not speak a lick of English. Me asking for a menu left both of us confused. But the food itself was a big disappointment. - Ground beef taco-3/5 Your generic Tex-Mex fare. - Grilled chicken quesadilla- 3/5 Was alright. Some grilled chicken bonded by jack cheese between 2 flour tortillas. Nothing special, could be easily recreated at home by an amateur. - Yat Gaw Mein Soup- 2/5 Aka hangover soup that is SUPPOSED to be a beef noodle soup in rich beef broth. What I received was basically a very light noodle soup with vegetables, lots of sliced beef (quality of which I did not appreciate), in most likely a vegetable light broth. - Chicken noodle soup- 3/5 Darker broth than "my" 10033 No.1 Chinese, light but not as flavorful. - Mapo tofu- 3/5 When cooked right, it's quite a delicious spicy vegetarian dish. The sauce was off, more like your usual brown sauce with a hint of bean sauce. Not eventful. - Spicy chicken wings- 1/5 This is the biggest disappointment. Small wings, dry meat, covered in sticky not-at-all spicy red sauce. When you have fierce Chinese chicken wing competition- from spicy big wings in Chan's Kitchen 2 blocks away to crispy juicy fried wings from 10033 No.1 Chinese- you have to step up your game. Will not order again. read more

See all

Nope got the tacos and spit it out. No good. I was not happy wasn't expensive but I would still like to have ate my order.

Bought beef with broccoli and brown rice and it was not good. Very oily with too much sauce. The other reviews are correct. The quality of the food at No.1 is getting worse. I wish the food selection in the area was better. read more

Since my last review in March 2017, I've ordered specifically Chinese food from here a few times and it has not been consistent. 1 out of 3 times, it was pretty good. But the other times, it was downright inedible. Today, I thought "what the heck. I'll try again - it can't be that bad!". As soon as I tried to eat my meal (for which I paid an extra dollar to have only white meat chicken), I realized I wouldn't be having general tso with white meat this evening. The chicken was so hard fried that I couldn't eat it - actually couldn't even find any meat in all but one piece I tried to dig in to. Many of the pieces were the size of a grape - who wants their white meat to be that tiny inside of a ball of over-fried coating? I thought - "ok, let me call and give them the benefit of the doubt that they'll remake it and offer for me to try a properly cooked order". I was SO wrong. When I called, I was put on hold 4 times and I could hear them taking other orders on the phone and in person the whole time. 2 times after that, I was able to start explaining the situation, but they began to take other orders and talk over me - THEN telling me to hold on ...again. At that point, I just started saying "hello?" until they replied. I explained the situation and their response was simply "I don't know what you want me to do about it" and then they began speaking to another customer. I said "hello?" a few more times but I couldn't take it any more so I simply hung up. This is the most ridiculous experience I've had with a local business and I'm really disappointed. I tried to go directly to them but I'm insulted and annoyed.Good thing that also means I've lost my appetite now too... read more

I am forever indebted to the kind people of No. 1 Restaurant. I got an insatiable craving for rice at an ungodly hour; right before their closing time. I called up, expecting no answer, but was pleasantly surprised when the woman picked up. I placed my order and it was ready at the door in less than half an hour. I know that I cut it very close and I know I shouldn't have brought them out so late but they were super friendly and did not guilt me at all. Very personable people and delicious food! The chicken teriyaki was sweet with a hint of spice, and the rice was fluffy and delicious. Thank you so much for satisfying my cravings! read more

Fantastic place. They have both Tex-mex and Mexican and in our experience the former is better but the Chinese food is goid as well. Amazing prices, speed of light service and wonderful service (especially from the female owner). We always try to pay cash to help the small business and we encourage to do the same. Get food idea, you won't regret it! read more

This place is excellent. Ordered here with some coworkers and the choices are endless. I ordered the combination by the pound (chicken and steak mix with onions and tortilla bread). The portions are BEYOND generous, lasted me for 2 days, both chicken and steak were cooked well, tender and flavorful. Delivery came within 30-45 mins, all my coworkers were more than satisfied with their foods. I will order from here again. read more

This is the bomb Chinese joint you have been looking for. That general tso's chicken is SCRUMPTIOUS! That fried rice is hot like the SUN! And those pork dumplings... Mmmm mmm mmm slap yo' mama good!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Most of the dishes we've tried - scallion pancakes, spring rolls, kung pao chicken, spicy tofu, fried tofu w/vegetables and garlic sauce - have been OK but I've certainly had better versions of all of them at other restaurants in the city. The chicken fajita was very good tho, maybe its best to stick with the Tex-Mex here. read more

This place has great food. They always arrive quickly and I've never had any issues with them. Food is always on point and the sauces are never scarce. read more

These guys are the realest MVP's of late night food. Service is good. Always on time. It's generic Chinese food so don't expect your French fries to be served with flair, ok? They are cool and nice. I love this place. read more

Pretty good actually. Had best of both worlds. Had a teriyaki chicken burrito. Had pork fried rice (extra) inside with lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream and guacamole. Thought it would taste weird but was surprised. Giving it 4 stars only because it took a little bit long to receive my food and I asked to eat in and she packed it to go. Other than that, it was on point read more

The food is good but the delivery is amazingly SLOW. I caution anyone if you want your food it is far better to go pick it up or eat there.

The Tex-Mex stuff isn't so great, but No. 1 is a solid place for Chinese American food (except for the mapo tofu), and the people working there are very friendly and keep the place spotless. read more

This is probably the worst tex mex food restaurant in the world. Absolutely flavour less and crap! Neither the mexican food is good nor the chinese cantonese. The owner and cook should immediately close this restaurant. Very very bad food. People please take my suggestion stay humgry rather than eating here and wasting your money. I WOULD GIVE 0 stars read more

Food is good when u eat in or pick up but when ordering for delivery be ready to wait over an hour plus literally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smh then food is cold and soggy read more

They're great because you can mix and match tacos with Chinese food. Always quick, always hot, did satisfies your craving. One tip, they'll charge you more if you pay with a card so bring cash. read more

I recently placed an order and my food was over cooked. They refuse to give me a refund or exchange it for something else. I always order every weekend and spend a lot of money. I recommend this place when my friends come up to visit. After this bad customer service, I will not spend any more money. Please make sure you know what you want because if it's not cooked right, they will not give you a refund. I use to talk highly about this place. read more
