OK, so I seen this place on DoorDash their pictures of their food look really good so I placed the order to pick up upon arriving before I even walked in the door. I seen that they didn't have a grade on their window and the stuff outside their window just look ghetto, but I walked in anyways when I walked in I instantly seen food being stored on the floor open. I seen a bug crawl across the floor and everything in the inside look nasty. I immediately said no thank you I don't I don't want the order anymore in the guy just shooed me out read more

amazing food and super friendly staff :) ever single time we go our orders are absolutely delicious! everything we have tried is so good and everyone who works there is so nice. fav spot! read more

Worst egg rolls, my guess is they are bought frozen from the supermarket. If a Chinese restaurant doesn't make their own egg rolls, it's not worth it. read more

Very very poor customer service. Food undercooked when calling to talk about it suddenly lady doesn't speak English! read more

The food here is pretty good, they're a little rude on the phone. Cost isn't too bad, and the portions are a little small. If they fix these issues, it would be a five star. read more

Much too mild for my taste. Only tried take-out, clean facility, nice people. Prices seemed fair considering.

Consistently good food. Fast, hot and delish. If you are around PLX and need quality take out, well, you can't do better

We have been faithful customers for years. We ordered tonight and it was bad! Has this been bought out or new people taking it over ? The General Tso's was not the same . Completely different taste. The Bourbon chicken was like leather and didn't taste the same. The rice was even different . We fed a whole bunch of people and spent a pretty penny and it was not good. read more

One of the better Chinese takeouts in the Akron area. The food is cheap and plentiful. The General Tsos chicken has a nice consistency and isn't mushy like at some places. Although the dining room is closed since covid. It's still worth the drive from all around Akron. read more

It use to be the best Chinese take out around for years! They must have sold the business. It is terrible! When people would come to visit us they would always want Number One Kitchen! My husband said he didn't recognize anyone in there so they must have sold it. We have tried it a couple of times since, it was bad! Our son was visiting from Brunswick & ordered some to take home while he was here. They threw it away! They said it was not good! We are so disappointed. It used to be our place to go! Never again! They need to learn how to cook from the previous owners! I am giving it a one star. My husband said he wouldn't even give them that. read more

Best Chinese food and best service in southern Summit County! Very clean too. Always our first choice in Portage Lakes!

Everything was excellent except I didn't care for the steamed dumplings nor the sauce that comes with it.

Food was great, they never disappoint. My opinion, best Chinese restaurant in the area. Great food in a speedy time. read more

Oh my! This place has THE MOST AMAZING sweet and sour sauce. The spring rolls AMAZING. The crab Rangoon AMAZING! The service is so refreshing. Yum, yum, yum! read more

Pretty good. Not great. I wish there was a little less rice and a little more of the main course in the dinner specials. Wish the Kung Pao was a little spicier with whole dried chili peppers in it. We got 3 dinner specials and it fed 3 adults and 3 small children but barely. read more

This place is incredible. Beat Chinese in the area. The food is always hot and tastes delicious.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. It's my go to place whenever I feel like Chinese at work!

I tried this place for the first time and the food was pretty good. I ordered a couple of common food items - sweet and sour chicken with a side of chicken chow mein. The prices were affordable and they prepared my food quickly. I'll definitely come back. read more

Excellent! This place is busy when you walk in--because they are good! The phone is ringing, just be patient. When they do a job, you have to stand in line. Chicken Chow Mein is great. read more

I ordered the garlic shrimp lunch special. It was really good and all the food is made to order. The staff is nice and helpful and let you know what in the food for those with special dietary needs. This is the only place where I felt the spice level was on point. Will definitely be back again. read more

Really Good Chinese Food The food here is really good and the place is very clean. The only downside is that the woman who usually takes your orders is not very hospitable and often mumbles. This makes ordering sort of difficult, but overall is very worth it when considering the food. read more

Good Chinese food. I have had a little bit of everything from here. Shrimp and vegetable mei fun. Nice size portions. Orange chicken is delicious you can taste the ginger and orange! Crab Rangoon is rich and creamy. Egg foo young patties are huge. Sauce is perfect. Dinner size is better portions. Some time the staff can be a bit rude and abrasive. Definitely a language barrier, but the food is worth it! read more

The only Chinese food I'll eat in the Akron area! Staff is consistent and friendly and the food is also consistent and delicious!

I have tried the General Tso's, Orange Chicken, Pepper Steak, and Lo Mein's all with great success. I have gone on busy times and slow times and the food was consistent. Kuddos to the owners for that. Only issue is that the lunch portion left me wanting more! which is a good problem to have. Very clean storefront and friendly staff. Enjoy if you decide to eat there. read more

This has been my go to place for many many years, I refuse to go other places no matter how far I've had to drive. They have set the bar very high and I'm not sure it could be beat. read more

Fast and delicious! My family have been coming here since it opened. They always get out order right and their crab rangoons are AMAZING!

Best Chinese take out around.... especially the crab Rangoon! Only down side is no delivery :(

This place is always so fast, they always get my order correct, and the food is delicious! Not much for eating in, but it's the best take out I've ever had! read more

I've never had better Chinese take-out. I don't want to think about how much money I've spent here in the past five years, but it's worth every penny! They will make any dish spicier for you upon request. read more

Number 1 Kitchen is certainly not an overstatement...at least in Akron area anyways. For a Chinese carryout, this is probably one of the best places in Akron. The food is fresh, flavorful, and consistent. Better dumplings and soups than other takeouts I've visited. Not to mention the place is super clean if you decide to eat in. For a quick and tasty Chinese food, you can't beat this. read more

Very good for cheap, carry out Chinese. Their homemade, I've seen them being made, steamed dumplings are great. 8 big ones for $5.95! Roast pork lo mein great too. read more

More like 4.5 stars. This place is really clean and the food is excellent and consistent. My only gripe, and the reason I'm docking half of a star, is because the one younger kid that works there, usually at the front desk takin orders, is always condescending when I order my mixed vegetables and ask for them to add tofu to it. It gets old and really annoying, but I keep going back because the food is that good. read more

Always fast and friendly service I've never had an issue with any of the meals that I have gotten from number one kitchen. I would highly recommend the general tso chicken or sesame chicken. read more

Hands down the best take out Chinese food establishment around. I have had many different items off their menu and have not been disappointed ever. My son and father love the bourbon chicken, always get it. The employees are friendly and nice every time. The place is generally very busy weekend nights but very efficient at getting you in and out. Nice and convient that located by Family Video, so makes for a nice family trip for a fun dinner and movie night!!!! read more

I've been looking for an another Chinese place in the area since my favorite changed their garlic sauce (they insist that they did not but it is completely different from what they had been serving). I wanted to try things that I have ordered regularly so that I could readily compare N1K with other places....so I ordered Veggie Lo Mein, Broccoli with Garlic Sauce, Tofu w/Mixed Veggies and spring rolls for good measure. We usually eat a Whole Food, Plant-Based diet and carefully chosen Chinese entrees are a big deal for us, definitely a splurge that we don't do too often, so we want it to be good! Veggie Lo Mein: lots of good veggies included, loved the wealth of mushrooms, and it was not at all greasy (like it is everywhere else, it seems). Broccoli w/Garlic Sauce: is actually mixed veggies with garlic sauce (they warned me when I ordered). Good bunch of veggies done just right, still not the elusive garlic sauce that I have been missing but it is tasty and just hot enough. Tofu w/Mixed Veggies: more of the same veggies of course. While the tofu was ok (cooked in some sort of brown sauce?), it had failed to soak up any of flavor from the sauce (not that the sauce was very good anyway). I had a talk with the cashier when we went a second time and was assured that I could substitute other sauces next time, which we will definitely do. Spring Rolls: lighter than the "other" local Chinese joint. Good enough. I ordered them more for a test, and they passed. Because of how we eat, we won't be ordering them often, and they won't be missed. Good service, reasonable prices. The menu posted online is a bit outdated (when I tried to order one item I was told that it was from an old menu), but good enough to help you with placing your first order. Have already returned for a second time, and will probably order from there again in the near future! read more
