Food was good. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking but still okay enough to eat. read more

Number 1 Chinese Restaurant - General tso's chicken and rice - Chinese Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Stupid and rude worker at the entrance. Unsanitary conditions in the kitchen. They throw a bag of food on a dirty table and forget to add sauces. read more

Stopped in here for lunch today and expected a bit more for the price listed for all you can eat buffet. Small hot line and smaller dessert line. Service was good but ambiance could use some work. read more

We are small town people so not Chinese food experts but this was right up our alley. $11.49 buffet price, was 30? or so different dishes. Plus they had fruit's and desserts. Pork&mushroom was great. Lo Mein noodles, chicken, everything we had was good. Place was small but very clean, staff was quick and polite, we'd recommend a meal here. read more

I'm a big fan of Chinese food but this is a buffet where you serve yourself and I don't like that, so I came several times and got my meal to take home. The soup was okay and the shrimp was good but once the chicken lo mein was really funny meat to chew. Another visit probably won't happen because the prices of takeout kept rising. read more

This is definitely a "locals" joint for certain! Best way to describe this is Cheap Eats!! If you looking to stuff your face for about eight bucks, this is your place! Enjoy read more

Nothing fancy, but what do you want for $8.99. Buffet was decent with lots of chicken offerings as I expected for the price, but they had Hunan Beef and peel and eat shrimp as well. Service was verr efficient as well. Soup choices included Hot and Sour, Wonton, and Egg Drop. Don't expect too much, but you get a very decent meal for $8.99. read more

Good, quick takeout Chinese. Really enjoyed Singapore Chow Mein and pork Lo Mein. "Fried" rice that came with dinner was really more like saffron rice, so a little disappointed about that because I was looking fwd to some traditional fried rice. read more

Food was terrible. Everything tasted like it had been doused in soy sauce, or salt. We maybe tried one bit of a couple things before we gave up. Person working the counter was not understanding and demanded we still pay for the full meal, even though we had barely ate anything and had not been there 5 minutes. To make matters worse, I became extremely ill within an hour of leaving. Will not be back. read more

My go to Chinese restaurant in Sevierville!! Food and service is always great. Love the fact that it's a buffet but still decent pricing!

This isn't a fancy place. It's a small mom and pop shop but the food is great and the price is right. We had the buffet for $11.49/per person and we loved the honey chicken and the hunan beef. Definitely worth a try. read more

After a long day of hiking around Gatlinburg we were craving Chinese food. The Chinese food where I am from is very good in the Milwaukee/Chicago area. We ordered Mongolian beef and moo shue chicken. The texture of the dishes appeared that both were overcooked. And the taste was very bland. The food left our craving for Chinese food unsatisfied. I wished we had packed ramen which would have more flavor then what we ordered. read more

Who would think a Chinese buffet in Sevierville TN would be so good? We were famished & had a vegetarian teenager with us. This was the place we allagreed on. Nice surprise! It's not a huge buffet but the food was delicious. The vegetables were super fresh. There were 4 kinds of sushi, simple variety but nice. They refilled all the offerings & cleared the table of used plates frequently. Price was also quite reasonable. The vegetarian was very pleased & went back for seconds plus dessert (you scoop ice cream). read more

Pros : Cost for buffet is well priced food is decent and selection isn't bad Cons : Customer Service especially the gentleman that is always working the front register is poor. He doesn't greet you and doesn't thank you when you pay your bill. For me being in the customer service industry that to me is a huge factor when reviewing an establishment. Table benches has tears and really needs to be replaced it just looks bad and reflects on the restaurant overall. Overall not a bad place for a Chinese buffet. read more

This place was so good. They stayed open past closing and even offered to cook us more food. Delicious and varied food, highly recommend

Ordered from here while staying at the wilderness . I got food poisoning after eating here and was very sick the next morning . Two days later and I'm still feeling the effects of it. I had bad stomach issues and a fever with sweating . Avoid at all costs. read more

No. 1 Chinese Restaurant is located at the north end of a shopping plaza (Staples) behind The Diner and adjacent to Lowes, just off Hwy 66 Southbound in Sevierville. They offer the standard Chinese dishes and Chef specials at reasonable prices, most items under $10. 34 Luncheon Specials (11AM-3PM) served with pork fried rice ($4.95-$5.25) and 25 Dinner Specials with fried rice & pork egg roll ($6.65-$6.99, add $1 for pork fried rice) are offered. They also offer a 40+ item all day Chinese buffet featuring the popular Chinese dishes/items, soups, salad, shrimp cocktail, cold mussels, fruits, jello, and hard ice cream for $5.99 plus tax (in 2013), $6.29 plus tax (in 2015). Buffet to go is $3.99/lb. Crab legs can be added for additional charge. I was actually here twice in less than 24 hours. Initially, I was potentially going to stop here for the Dinner Chinese Buffet, but it was after 9PM and the place closes at 10PM. I walked inside anyways and looked at the 40+ items on the buffet and the food looked like it had been sitting out a while, dried out, and some item trays empty. It would not be fair to rate the food at this time and I decided to pass and return here for the Lunch Chinese Buffet the next day. I stopped by here around noon time the next day and the buffet items looked fresh and all the trays were fully stocked. I dined on veg lo mein, chow mein fun noodles, veg fried rice (light yellow), egg rolls, spring rolls, crab rangoons, stuffed pork mushrooms, wonton soup, hot & sour soup, chicken fingers, fried chicken wings, pepper chicken, chicken with mixed vegetables, shrimp cocktail, and red jello. The food was at the right temperatures and standard Chinese fare (up the middle) I'd find at most Chinese buffets in the USA. They also have a fortune cookie game with five random lucky numbers posted on the wall at the front counter. If some of your lucky numbers on your fortune match the numbers on the wall, you could receive discounts (match 2 numbers-$1 off buffet/match 3 numbers-50% off buffet) or free buffet (match 4 numbers). Total bill with tax before tip was $6.57, which is a fair price for a standard and fresh (during lunch) Chinese buffet. I know better to go to a buffet during busy times when the food should be fresher. read more

We came here as we were in town for a family vacation and the prices were cheap enough for a family of five. My kids are picky eaters so a buffet is our natural choice so they can choose whatever they see. The restaurant had a range of meats, from pork to chicken to beef to fish. I didn't see any other seafood. Maybe there were shellfish at the salad bar but I didn't take a look. There was also sushi of which I had none. Vegetable selections were good and tasty. In total I would say they had a display of 25 items. Dessert selection was okay as I counted four items - Chinese doughnuts, two kinds of cakes and ice cream. read more

This is the Chinese restaurant my family and I love the best. It may only be a small place but they do have a full carryout menu. The buffet had a good selection of favorite Chinese dishes. read more

My husband and I live locally and we have been eating at this restaurant for many years. We order the same dishes every time and they always prepare it perfectly for us. Recently my husband had major surgery and is on restricted sodium diet. The owners prepared our favorite dish without salt and I couldn't believe how tasty it was. Thank you Number 1 for the great food and service read more

Ordered take out. Fried rice was nasty and dry. No like any other fried rice I've had more like flavored rice but dry as toast. Spring rolls were nothing but a fried egg roll wrapper. Ordered szechuan beef hardly any beef lots of veggies period. Chicken lo me in - chicken was rubber and I'm not 100% it was chicken. read more

Was never able to try the food Grub hub never delivered it. We have ordered it in the past and it was good. Just unfortunately people like grub hub messes up everything read more

If it was possible I'd give this place zero stars. On vacation, we decided to order from here. It took over an hour to get our food and when it finally arrived it was barely warm and we had to use the microwave in our room to warm it up. They should change their name to number 2 chinese restaurant cause that's all we did the rest of the night!!! Very sick from the food. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this place or you will regret it. I promise you that! read more

We have ordered carry out Egg Foo Young twice now from No. 1 Chinese Restaurant. Both of the times we ordered, it has been the best Egg Foo Young we have ever had. They were generous portion size, tender, chunky and cooked perfectly. If you like Egg Foo Young, this is a must try! read more

I ordered on Uber eats and it took 40 minutes before I finally called and the lady that owns that place said she doesn't do Uber Eats. Bad business acumen. read more

The place has amazing price, probably one of the best in town. They are doing a magnificent job at protecting the customers while giving out gloves for customers when getting the food from the bar. Hand sanitizers everywhere. Nice and cozy. read more

I have been going to this restaurant since they been open an this place is by far Number 1 . I will not go to another Chinese restaurant any where near where I live . The owners our very nice an there kids our very beautiful kids an very kind . I would rate this restaurant 10 out of 10 . I have never had any issues with anything I have ordered . Fast delivery also when food hot . If your a local or tourist this is a must stop place to eat . read more

My husband and I have gone here almost every week, sometimes twice, for almost three years now. It is our favorite place. Cozy, comfortable and addictive DELICIOUS and very good price. Good folks and clean. Love this place. read more

I just returned from No.1 Chinese with one of the worst experiences I've ever had anywhere. Let me start by saying that until tonight, there was only one time in my 30yrs on this earth that I have sent food back(first time was Red Lobster more than 5 yrs ago). Also, I have eaten at No.1 a handful of times over the years, and in all fairness I have no complaints about any other visit I have had. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki off of the dinner menu this evening. When my meal came I could tell on my first bite that something was not right. My girlfriend tried it as well and instantly knew that there was something wrong with it. After eating two small pieces of chicken, and chewing on a couple more for "a while" my girlfriend convinced me it was in my best interest to not go any further. Well I lost my appetite at that point. The server was very nice about it and offered to replace it with something else, but like I said at this point I just don't have an appetite anymore so I nicely declined. I proceed to the register to pay for the meal (tea and egg drop for her, pepsi, wonton and the chicken terriyaki for me). As usual, the cashier asked if everything was alright which I answered with a hesitant "ehh not really, we actually had to send it back". She asked if we had eaten there before, which I informed her that yes I have on multiple occasions. She asked us this question probably 4-5 times, with us giving the same answer over and over, "yes". Then she made a comment (also 3+ times) about how it's a sweet brown sauce or something along those lines which we responded that the sauce was not the issue, it was the chicken. When she finally accepted our response that the chicken was the issue she followed up with "we very busy all day, chicken fine"! Let me mention that neither me or my girlfriend were acting hostile or raising our voice or anything of that nature. My girlfriend serves and we both know that sometimes things just don't come out correct. We are both smiling and speaking to her respectfully until the "we very busy all day, chicken fine" comment. At this point I replied to her "look, I'm not going to sit here and argue with you over this.... you asked me if everything was alright and my answer is NO"! I truly can't recall being so frustrated with someone at the end of a meal. The fact she wants to argue over the food quality just blew me away... I had to repeat "yes we have eaten here before" 4+ times. "The sauce isn't the issue" had to be repeated probably 4 times as well.... Never once, "oh I'm sorry you didn't like it" or any type of "sorry/ I apologize" for that matter... She wants to sit there and argue over whether the food was "alright" or not. We never said that we didn't want to pay for it or anything of that nature, although one would expect them to not charge you for a meal you took 2-3 bites of.... Well she ended up charging us full price on everything... Needless to say I won't ever be bringing my business back to this restaurant. "Chinatown" at the forks on the river is a quality restaurant with friendly staff and good food. read more

Good price and good food for buffet. We haven't found any better in the area. Nice selection of food and staff is friendly.

Did you ever have the feeling that you are somewhere you shouldn't be while dining? We were tired and looking for a good Chinese buffet. We settled on this place because the other one didn't have one car on the lot which can be a scary thing. The buffet was extremely limited to about a dozen things on the main line and it was all variants of chicken. There was no shrimp, pork or anything other than chicken. I tried their sushi as they had a volcano roll. The problem was the volcano roll had turned to stone and was inedible. The rest of it was barely better. If you are looking for chinese good luck. PLease don't stop here. You will feel like you are in a funeral home and you did something wrong while sitting there eating. Such a depressing place with bad food. read more

Not one to rate a restaurant with a low grade but I was sick after eating here. Not sure if the food was kept hot enough or the grease was used too many times. It may have just been a bad time to go....who knows read more

So the price is good, but the food is garbage. Some of the food was cold and looked like it was there for quite a while. There were only a few people in there. We read the reviews online and they weren't too promising but we decided to try it out. The only good thing there was the chicken wings. Everything else was nothing compared to my "normal" Chinese experience. This Chinese food compared to the frozen Chinese dinners at Walmart. It was flavorless and B L A N D! I wouldn't recommend it at all. Never again. read more

Would give them no stars if we could. Very bad customer service. We called with an order over $25. On their menu on their site it has a coupon for free crab Rangoon for any order over $20. Call to place our order and she says I to only applies to pick up. It doesn't say that anywhere on the coupon but they still wouldn't honor it. Also when we wen to to pay they wanted to charge us $1 to use a credit card. This is a business and if they accept credit cards they have a fee with that. It shouldn't be passed on to the customer. So we cancelled our order with them and will not be doing business there. They lost out on $25 instead of $1. Smart business move. read more

the egg rolls are terrible. However, the crab rangoon and peanut chicken are delicious. This is the only place in town that offers the peanut butter type sauce(peanut chicken). the vegetable fried rice is great. for the buffet, it is better to go early in day when food is fresh. I didn't like any of the soups. they do offer a discount card, after so many meals you can eat free-however, that does not apply to take out orders which makes no sense. I spend much more on take out than I do on the buffet. They do however add free crab rangoon with minimum purchase on to go orders. They use to deliver on minimum order, but they no longer do that. That would be great if they would start that again, nothing but pizza delivers in this area. read more
