Today we decided to make use of our Door Dash pass to have a family lunch. We decided on Mongolian beef! That was a great choice. Even my young son who is picky with onions devoured this dish. This dish is a favorite for my husband and I. I love the reusable containers. We can wash and reuse again. I dislike those foam take-away boxes ! The container is great for food deliveries and the food is kept from spills. I have ordered fried rice both house and shrimp. If you love meat smothered in onions Mongolian beef is the one to try. The Door Dash app communicated very well and allowed me to receive my order in great timing. The Driver brought the order pretty quick. Overall the experience has been great with the restaurant. I have now used Grubhub and Door Dash with this restaurant and it is a very positive experience and highly recommend to Use either to purchase meals here. It is great for a family meal at home with that nice ambiance quality! read more

I agree, this is one of thee best Chinese food joints I've had in Washington. Why? The Teriyaki Chicken is clean with minimal fatty pieces, it's clean and delicious. I'm a picky eater and I love it. I had a large order as you can see from the photos and I ate all of it! The other dishes are just as good, the orange chicken and Kings fried rice. Fried rice as a left over is still delicious, I however recook it in a pan and it tastes even better, to me at least. They also have an excellent boba menu, which I always get honey dew. The vibe is cool and calm just like a fancy restaurant. The cashier was very attentive. read more

Good american chinese food and great variety. I really do enjoy their friend rice, specifically the BBQ chicken one! It is a little pricey but it's worth it. It's a clean store and a very nice couple seem to run it and run it well! I have tried the mongolian beef and honey shrimp. I would not recommend the shrimp -- it was only five or six small shrimp for $10 and not worth it to me. The mongolian beef was good but on the sweet side which is a little unusual for that dish -- but i enjoyed their take on it. the beef was very tender. I'd definitely come again! They have quite an extensive menu -- so there's something for everyone to try. the parking is mostly street parking which at times is quite hard to find in that area but they do have a little parking lot which i believe is theirs. read more

Tacoma's No1 Fried Rice - House/special fried rice and chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I ordered KungPao Chicken ala carte. When I got home I opened it to find a half order of Kung pan and 2 large rice balls. This is a different menu item that is less expensive. They refused giving a refund to my card and tried to tell me that the ala carte would have the same price. We're talking just a few dollars here. They cheated me and jelp my money. You can see by pic is half order. NEVER GO THERE! NEVER. read more

Large and generous portions. Good quality. Happy people work here. The teriyaki was 'above averagez'. In a sea of 'mid' quality takeout, this place stands out. Thumbs up! Obvious why they've been around so long. No1 is a claim that is backed up by what and how they do read more

Good service, ok food, and enormous portions. I was in town for an event and needed a quick bite. Good reviews and I took the plunge. On the plus side, I had two meals. A bit pricy but it's downtown Tacoma. Every costs extra, $2 more if you want it spicy which is a downer for me. I generally eat everything spicy and there are no condiments except soy sauce. A good amount of veggies with my yakisoba and no complaints on the flavor except for the lack of spice. If you need a quick meal, check it out. read more

Great food, great service. Portions are huge. Likely have leftover for three days worth

We went there yesterday. The fried rice was horrible not number 1, mediocre at best. The crab Rangoon barely had any cream cheese in them and the egg rolls were nasty. Spent $88.00 very disappointing! Won't be going back. I will say, the lady at the register was very nice. Where's the best fried rice in the area??? read more

I've been here before during summer break and came back the interior was very beautiful and clean i ordered chicken fried rice and California roll and came to me under 10 minutes the rice was spot on and sushi was good she asked me for refills and needed a to go box and read my mind and gave me one I really love this place and would definitely come back and recommend it read more

This place is fantastic. House wings are really superb and a real change from that tired buffalo style wings. Full of garlic and ginger and Korean Go Chu Chang, they are fried up perfectly every time. House Fried Rice is also great, it might very well be the No. 1 shop in all of Tacoma! Big portions, quick prep. I go there at least once a week. read more

Fast service, clean restaurant, and very friendly staff. We ordered the Sushi Dinner Bento Box along with miso soup, and everything came out quickly and fresh. The restaurant was well kept, and friendly staff. Would definitely come back! read more

I was in Tacoma for work and this place happened to be nearby and very convenient. They have a small parking lot but there's also street parking. It's a good size restaurant but it's not huge. The sign "Tacoma's No1 Fried Rice" caught our attention. But also, was recommended by some co-workers. When you walk from the parking lot, immediately you can smell the food coming from the restaurant. Smells so good. When you come in you are greeted by the person at the counter. You order the food at the counter and they bring your food to you. The food came fast and we still had plenty of time to walk around. Though they advertise the best fried rice, neither one of us had it. We had one of their many combos. My friend had the Teriyaki Chicken with steamed rice, salad, and egg roll. I had Teriyaki Chicken, with chow mein and steamed rice. It was a good amount of food for one person and It was delicious! The chicken was tasty and I almost ate all of my chow mein. I was happy the Noodles weren't over cooked. Both of us spent less than $20 for our meals. Can't beat that. read more

This is my to-go spot for a quick hot lunch in the Hilltop area. The food is always hot and on point. I wish they had a Kung pao/chow mein lunch option so I wouldn't have to buy the full Kung Pao serving, but you can't have it all. They still don't have indoor seating so you'll have to grab your food to go. Don't forget to ask for chopsticks! read more

Great staff, service and food. Checks all the boxes. Fried rice really is #1 as advertised. Fried chicken wings are in Korean sauce, and they make it fried Korean style as well. I will be coming back here. read more

This place gets busy, but I love their BBQ pork fried rice. They have a variety of options on their menu.

I've been looking for a good Chinese restaurant in the area and came across Tacoma's No1 Fried Rice. I ordered the Lunch Bento special which I got with General Tso and Chicken Teriyaki. It also comes with 4 pieces of California Roll, 2 gyoza, 1 tempura, white rice and side salad. Both of the chicken (General tso and teriyaki) were fresh, flavorful and cooked perfectly. For $15, this is a great deal and enough for two people/meals. I also ordered the crab rangoons, which were okay but I like alot of filling and this was scarce. Overall, I'll be back to try other things from the menu. read more

I ordered takeout from this place and let me tell you something: best Asian stop in Tacoma, hands down. Kind of a small restaurant, but I always prefer takeout on Asian food for some reason anyways. The portion size was immaculate, the taste was incredible, and the service was great too. Fair prices and delicious food=happy customers. read more

Paid $50 for Food I couldn't eat the rice was bland and hard Mongolian beef disgusting the texture was like mushy. Definitely won't return

I was trying to get the owners name a good review for running such a good business. I guess he took a trip out of the country so hopefully he sees how much I enjoyed the food and the service. Justin took my call and was very kind and respectful. read more

Never been here until today. The restaurant was clean, they had a great menu board. It was an interesting time. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and pork lunch special w/Gyoza. The Gyoza came out fresh and hot 3 minutes after I sat down, I was impressed. What was lackluster was the teriyaki chicken, it came out room temperature and the sauce was cold. The pork came out hot however, wasn't that flavorful and wasn't very appealing to look at. All in all, I wouldn't say don't come here because I know there's gotta be better food. I would say order Chinese food here, it will probably be hot when it comes to the table. read more

I walked over to #1 looking for a quick lunch. The place is very open and bright. The video screens advertising food show a lot of delicious dishes. The interior design is almost there, if the back counter wasn't stacked high with boxes and equipment and supplies it would really help the aesthetic. I was looking for something quick and light. I had the chicken teriyaki and gyoza. The chicken pieces were browned beautifully but dry and stringy/tough. The teriyaki sauce was average. The gyoza was deep fried ... not the best preparation for dumplings. Teriyaki has the potential to be tasty, I'm perplexed that chefs don't put more effort in to it. read more

As promised here is the updated review! We ordered WAY more food this time and not only was it as good (or better) but it also came out right on time. This has become a got to spot for sushi and small plates despite fried rice being in the name. This time we had the tako yaki and shumai, plus 8 rolls. Shout out to the gaga roll if you like your sushi spicy and both the hawaii aloha and lobster roll were super fresh and delicious. read more

Quality food, lots of it, for the price. Large portions. One can get two to three meals from one large reusable container.

Always love going to this place!!! Their food is always, always on point. With renovations now, it's absolutely a go to place.

Been my go to sushi place for the last 2 years. The staff is always very sweet and efficient, and the food had always great! Last few times haven't been as great as times past. But it's expected with the aftermath of the pandemic on food establishments. Quality was a smidge sub-par, and they included ingredients that we asked NOT to be included (due to allergies). But over all, we were still content with our order. read more

Just not that crazy about the fried rice. It seems like the rice was blown out and stir fried with turmeric, leaving a muddled flavor. I ordered the House rice with beef, chicken, shrimp and crab (actually fake crab, not the real thing) - a pet peeve of mine, though I was not expecting real crab in the FR here. With food labeling being what it is, places should use a "k" to indicate the fake stuff. Some of the beef was ok but some was tough as can be. The chicken and sparse shrimp were ok, but not worth coming back for. A small house FR to go was what I would have paid for an excellent lunch special on South Tacoma Way...Will do that next time. read more

I picked up a take-out order: Gyoza and Chicken Yakisoba. The gyoza was tasteless, just nothing. But, the yakisoba was beyond disgusting. I'm guessing they used old oil for cooking. The chicken didn't taste like chicken and it was in hard little pieces with some sort of breading on it. The vegetables were also awful. None tasted like what they were. It was inedible and I threw it away. Zero stars, never again. read more

They are great for work potlucks because the food is predictable you know what you are getting and the portions are big. They do a really good job in general and for a quick grab and go they are fantastic read more

It was very clean, we saw reviews and came to try it out. At first I was shocked w the front cashier is she was not nice. kept throwing the food containers back and arguing w staff. I figured sheesh shes gonna make sure its done right! But then we got home $20 rice per order, unseasoned, overboiled, not fried but boiled, and tasteless. Garlic chicken tasted regular fried w basic salt and light pepper and the sauce was mayonaise w a bit of garlic. This was soo bland. It was gross. our kid liked the teriyaki, but at 120 dollars you can bet I will cook at home next time. I won't return here!! So disappointing that I had to refry my food and season it before eating the rice. Ohhh and if you order crab be clear- its imitation not real crab!! Egg rolls were forgettable too. read more

We ordered 2 orders of shrimp fried rice and 1 monogolian beef. I think our eyes was bigger than our stomach. We have not visited them for awhile but since we returned to Tacoma we wanted to eat there. It is a bit pricey but it is worth it because you get quite a bit of food. Last time I was there we could not sit down to eat but that was fine. They were still being safe from covid-19 so seats were closed. We took the food home and ate on it for two days. It was delicious. We will be back if we crave for Chinese food to go nearby again. And if we go again we will update on seating for other Yelpers who want to to eat inside. read more
