No. 1 Restaurant - Sweet and sour chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Scotch Plains, New Jersey

My favorite restaurant to go to and grab some food on the weekend. I love their general sales chicken. They cook really fast and the service is impeccable. Every time I go it reminds me of being back home in the Bronx just your typical Chinese restaurant good food, good vibes and you always feel welcome when you come there. The ambience is just pretty much awaiting area not to sit down and eat type situation. read more

great food, nice people, large portions- exactly what I expect from the neighborhood Chinese takeout place. Best I have found in the area. read more

i must have ordered food from here a bunch of times. scheduled delivery on their site and it arrived right on time handed to me by one of the owners! they use BEYOND MENU and only a $2 delivery charge NO service fee! the food was real hot and fresh a lot of unique vegetarian choices, the broccoli and bean curd was perfectly fried in a wok big soft chunks with a thin sling thick sweet tangy sauce coating the easily form but chewy broccoli and carrots! cold sesame noodles had just the right amount of paste plain lo mien was plentiful and flavorful not greasy the beef teriyaki on a stick was massive 4 pieces tender and juicy as so many local chinese restaurants have similar menus but each one has thier own signature sauces and flavors unique to each restaurants chefs and No. 1 Restaurant ranks with the best and unique! and their prices are atleast a few dollars for each item read more

Consistently great food, you will not be disappointed, give the place a try you will be pleasantly surprised

Quite possibly the worst Chinese food I ever ordered. The egg rolls were full of salt. The hot and sour soup was watery and tasteless. The Sesame beef was as dry as can be - my wife had Sesame Chicken that was equally as dry. The sesame chicken tasted like overdone chicken nuggets with a bit of soy sauce on top of them. While we ordered from them because our usual places were closed on a Monday - we will not be ordering from here again. read more

I placed a delivery order about an hour ago. I got a shrimp and chicken Mei Fun. The lady asked me if I wanted a drink with my order, I hadn't mentioned anything but after hearing they had ginger ale I decided to spend the extra bucks ? I got a Pepsi and I don't even drink soda but I am upset that they also didn't include utensils or ANY type of sauce to go with my noddles ? I had made the driver wait maybe 4-5 mins and felt so guilty I gave him a $4.25 tip but feel like maybe I should have never ordered from here in the first place. I spend $25 on a plain Mei Fun order in the end. ): read more

Sesame chicken, so dry, no sauce. Egg rolls salty, beef sesame dry. Hit and sour soup too spicy! Never again!!!

Great food! I got their shrimp and cashews and it was very good. Will order from here again.

Tasty food and friendly staff. While the portions didn't feel as large as others mentioned, the combo came with a large egg roll and enough rice to make it filling. I could see a challenge with delivery and timing when things are busy - which I think stems from the manual order process. As it stands now (or maybe only the day I visited) the counter employee will circle menu items on the menu itself and pass them to the cooks. As anyone who has ever filled in a scantron knows, it's easy to put bubbles in the wrong spot, so accuracy could be an issue. The result for me was that my order was wrong when I came to pick it up. However, they made a fresh (correct) order in under 5 minutes to fix the problem. I'd say this place is a decent spot for your Chinese fix, but make sure to open the bag and check that what you wanted is what you got! read more

i say this with all respect ... Their professionalism during my order was on point 5 But the food just ok I'd give 2 Very simple basic order Pork fried rice and chicken fried rice large mixed veggies with garlic sauce . The rice was extremely bland and they charge 1.00 extra for A Egg! One Egg that's over the pay grade. the veggies were mushy and garlic sauce was missing the main ingredient Garlic tasted like just soy sauce ...,Yuk the search continues for The No1Chinese Restaurant. Unfortunately this is Not it. read more

I've been living around the area for 20 years. How have we not noticed you? Prolly passed by this small place a hundred times, not knowing that they do serve the best Beef with Broccoli and Tung Ting Shrimps. Beef was very tender and delicious. Delicious!! You don't often find Tung Ting Shrimps on a Chinese take out, which is a favorite of mine. There's no scrimping on their shrimps- huge and plump, and delicious. Their Egg Foo Young is so fluffy and slightly thicker than most I've had. So, we've been happy with all the dishes we've ordered here. I feel like they're one of those underrated Chinese take outs, but in our household, they're No.1. read more

Good ole American style Chinese food! Everything is yummy! The old favorites of pork egg fu yung and beef and scallions are our favs.

Great food and always fresh made. The best egg fu young ever! And wonderful people who own it.

Food is always fresh and done quickly. Staff is also friendly. This is my go-to Chinese Takeout Restaurant!

I have been going to Number 1 Restaurant for 15+ years and not only is this a hardworking family-owned business, but their food is delicious! I highly recommend the steamed dumplings and the sesame chicken! Great people, great food. read more

#1 restaurant is my go to Chinese place. The food is so exquisite and savory specifically the chicken and beef dishes. The service takes between 10-15 mins which is so much better then most places. Overall I give this place a 10/10 because it is just the best Chinese food ever fr. read more

I purchased a small roasted pork fried rice from here a few days ago and it was pretty decent so decided to get a large today but to my surprise there was barely any pork in a large fried rice and the rice didn't feel dry enough, felt like it was cooked with too much water but the lady is super nice. Had to chuck it. Kind of a waste of my hard earn $8 and still hungry with heavy rains trapped in the house lol read more

No. 1 Restaurant - rice in a container - Chinese Near Me - Scotch Plains, New Jersey

I have been ordering from this spot for over 15 years. It's family owned and they are always SO kind. Best chicken broccoli there is. I love their wonton soup and fried chicken wings too! Check them out. They're great. I also noticed how careful they are now with Covid. read more

The owner is very personable, prices are reasonable, and the place looked clean, but the three dishes I tried were disappointing. The wontons in the wonton soup were undercooked and gummy, and the broth was tasteless. There was no roast pork or green onions in it. The Honey Chicken is just fried breaded chicken nuggets drizzled with honey. Nothing else in the dish. The Pad Thai was chopped up, mushy noodles in a sauce which vaguely tasted like Pad Thai, but was bland. There was scrambled egg on top, but no bean sprouts, green onions, tofu, or chopped peanuts. I tossed the leftovers. Perhaps some of their other dishes are better but I would not order these dishes again, and I'm not rushing back here. read more

Nice and great Chinese food.. Great price, nice people.. Good service... I order from them at least once a week.. Decent food. read more

No. 1 Restaurant - Front desk - Chinese Near Me - Scotch Plains, New Jersey

I order from here about once every other week. Consistently decent Chinese. My favorite in the Scotch Plains/Fanwood area that delivers. Hung Shanghai is higher quality but they don't deliver and prices are higher. No. 1 dishes are all decent. The people are super nice. I am disapointed always in the Shrimp w/ Lobster Sauce - but I am somewhat picky. I wish we had a 5 star worthy delivery place in the area as I am a huge fan of Asian food. read more

Flavorless and stale! This place was recommended so I thought I'd give them a shot. I ordered crab rangoon and chicken with mixed vegetables. I live 5 minutes from this place, but when the food was delivered my order was lukewarm at best. The crab Rangoons were barely warm and they were chewy and stale. There was no flavor and the sweet and sour sauce that came with it was so watered down it also had barely any flavor. The chicken and veggies also didn't have any flavor! So disappointing and I will not order from here again. read more

Food is good however takes too long for delivery..ordered on a friday and took them over 2 hrs to deliver to me in the same town..they tell u 1/2 hr to 45 mins but take hours.. read more

The owner Ms Lin ensures great food and service. Delivery is easy and the food is great. Thanks!

Best Chinese food in area. I have tried Fan Bistro in NP, Hop Hing in BY, and many others. This place is the best!!

I went to this place after I had class in scotch plains, since I'm from summit I had no idea where to find good food. I saw this place and said, "why not?" I was not disappointed, the food was great, but the atmosphere was even better. The owner, an older women, was extremely nice. She made sure I was happy. We had a conversation, had a nice talk. She even offered to deliver food to my school if I ever wanted to eat. If you're in the mood for Chinese and you're around the area, go here. You won't regret it read more

Awful quality. I ordered General Tso's chicken and my wife had another chicken entree. After getting the food home I bit into what I thought was chicken and spit it out. It was nothing but gristle and seemed like knuckles and elbows of the chicken, far from quality meat. What I was sold most places put in the trash and serve the quality pieces of the chicken. I threw everything in the trash. Afterwards my wife of spectacle about the quality and ate half of her meal and trashed her's as well. The real kicker was my wife was vomiting after about 1 hour. I don't know what they sell here but I would say it's not edible especially after the government changed its regulations last month that they no longer have to disclose where meat comes from. Do yourself a favor and pay a few dollars more for quality before you ingest this garbage. read more

Solid, average Chinese food. The best I ever had? Nope. I got wonton soup, steamed chicken and broccoli with brown rice. The wonton soup was ok, the chicken and broccoli was good and a good amount for the money. The crispy noodles that usually come with Chinese were blah. My husband got the General Tsos and was happy with it. He also liked the spring roll he ordered. The delivery came at a decent time, but I'm still going to keep looking around because I wasn't blown away. read more

Best Chinese food around, very quick service and staff is so kind. Food is fresh and cooked how you like it. Recommend highly.

I am a vegetarian and Susan the owner of this place is very helpful and will recommend items of the menu that are veg friendly. The Singapore Rice Noodles is spicy and nice. It is more of a take-out place but they do have 2-3 tables with chairs if you prefer to sit down and eat. Fast service and owner is very friendly and courteous. read more

I love this restaurant. I love the bean curd and broccoli. The spring rolls are excellent

Took an hour for my food to be delivered on a Monday! And then there was hair in my food. Gross.

I'm always appreciative of the great appetizing dishes that the restaurant serves. They are always accommodating in preparing their selections to my personal preferences. The staff are very friendly as well and I've never had a bad experience with my orders over the years. I'm so glad this establishment is just a short drive away. You guys rock!!!! read more

I go here once a week and they are awesome. Good manners, patient, and decent price. The best thing is they have Katsu chicken and Katsu fish. I have never seen a Chinese restaurant would have that but Number 1 did. I love the Katsu fish because its fresh, big amount and it have many vegetables under the fish. Sometimes I don't like broccoli but its okay because Susan makes special dish for me without broccoli in it. You guys should follow them on Facebook and they even have senior citizen discount!!!!! read more

Best chinese place Ive ever been to! The staff is unbelievably friendly and their food never disappoints.
