The mu shu pork dish was not so congruent. It was not bad but it also was not the best meal that I've had. The service was decent where we would get served well but there was also a lack of people in the establishment. The ambiance also was just lacking overall. Overall: I think it's worth to try it but I would not rush to come here to taste it. Sizzling rice soup: 5/5, I was impressed and amazed. I definitely recommend this dish if you want a soup that is flavorful. Mu shu pork: not worth as it did not blend well together. The filling was too salty and had a lot going on, and the wrapping was out of place. Overall, not a good dish. 1/5

I ordered moo shu pork, it tasted like bad fish soaked in dishwater, and it's supposed to be pork?…read more They preroll the moo shu for you with plum sauce, it takes you out of the equation. You don't have to worry if you like plum sauce or not cause you're getting it. I opened one of my pre rolled burritos, the filling was thick was the sauce like gummy. In all honesty, I think the filling was just too old and not edible I order the fried add on, the chicken had been reheated several times and was chewy and over cooked. It was the best part of the meal. I had never walked away from a meal before today, and now I have. $23.00 wasted. Did I say something to mgmt? no, I hate conflict.

They had our order done fast and on time. Service overall was good. Unable to comment on the ambiance but the drive thru option is nice and the restaurant didn't look bad from the outside. The food was majority just okay. The best dish is definitely the lo mein. The bao was okay. The twice cooked pork was okay. The beef stirfry was okay. The honey chicken was decently good. It was all relatively just an okay meal. Food ratings: Lo mein: 4.5/5, best dish there.

One thing I do love, though, is the atmosphere. It's a cute, cozy little spot, and everyone who works there is genuinely so friendly. The staff always makes you feel welcome, and the people who eat there are usually super sweet too -- it has that nice community feel. It's definitely not a bad place at all, and I've had some good meals there, but it's not necessarily my go-to. Still, if you're looking for a chill spot with good service and a comfortable vibe, Mr. Chen's is worth trying.

I ordered a side of fried rice, which is supposed to come with peas and carrots, but there were maybe 2 or 3 peas in the whole dish. The rice leaned on the gummy and sweet side, and it tasted very processed. The yum yum sauce was only .75¢ so I can't complain, but they did not fill it as much as I would've liked. The chicken egg roll was pretty good, but the sweet and sour sauce was very liquidy and I like it with a little more thickness. They only have pepsi products, so plan ahead. They were out of diet pepsi when I came. Not their fault, but it would've been nice to have it. I came during their specials hour so my drink was only .99¢, so I can't complain too much. Wasn't the best experience I've had, but not enough to dock more than two stars. I can at least say I've tried this place.

We had a variety of meats and dishes of which most turned out really well. The soup and appetizers were good too. I think certain flavors of dishes could be more flavorful/ more optimized. The service was good for the number of workers that were present. It being a local shop. It is as expected.

For years I've driven past China No 1 in Northport and never once stepped inside--until today…read more After eating there, I'm honestly scratching my head trying to solve the mystery of why it took me so long. I called in a takeout order, which is something I usually avoid. Let's be honest--takeout food often rides home like it's been trapped in a sauna. Fried food turns soggy, sauces disappear, and by the time you open the container it looks like it just survived a long trip through the Amazon rainforest. But since I ordered the Shrimp Szechuan Style with grilled vegetables, I decided to roll the dice. About ten minutes after picking it up, I got home and popped open that 21st-century "Tupperware" container--and the food was still steaming hot. Not warm... not "microwave revival" hot... I mean fresh off the stove hot. The first bite was magical. It had that love-at-first-sight feeling... or like that first date when you get butterflies down in the gizzard meeting someone special. The shrimp were fresh, the vegetables were cooked just right, and there was plenty of sauce--no dry "Sahara Desert" situation going on here. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. This meal absolutely delivered. Now when you place your order, the lady on the phone might not be competing for any Southern hospitality awards--but she was efficient and clearly knew what she was doing because the meal was spot on. When I stopped inside, the restaurant was also very clean on this late Saturday afternoon, which is always a great sign. Maybe I've been hanging with the wrong crowd because nobody has ever mentioned China No 1 to me. Their loss. Turns out the best Chinese takeout in Northport has been hiding in plain sight for years... and the only mystery left is why I waited so long to try it. All these years of driving past this place... turns out the joke was on me!

We went in at 1 PM on a Saturday. There was no one eating in. There were several takeout orders while we were there. The server was friendly and very efficient. Service was fast. For an appetizer, we tried the Crab Rangoons. They were delicious. Then we both got Hot and Sour Soup. It lived up to the hot part (heat wise). It was so hot that it was still warm even after we had almost finished with our entrées. My sister got the Moo Goo Gai Pan and I got General Tao's Chicken. Both lunch specials came with an eggroll and pork fried rice. The fried rice was especially good. The portions were generous and the food was good. This is a small shop with several tables inside. Definitely give it a try if you are in this area.

The shrimp and mixed vegetables were spot-on--fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. As for the "spicy" part... well, let's just say if you've been eating hot food as long as I have, you're not breaking a sweat unless there's an actual fire in your mouth. Still, delicious all the same! Now, fair warning--this isn't fine dining. Your meal comes on a plastic disposable plate, and drinks are sold by the bottle. Prices are very reasonable, but if you're hankering for a refill, you'll have to buy another bottle. So sip that water or Pepsi slowly and make it last. The dining area is spotless, the service is quick, and the staff is friendly as always. Sure, there can be a little language barrier now and then, but if this old country boy can figure it out, I promise you can too. So grab your chopsticks (or a fork, no judgment here) and swing by this clean, quiet spot next time you're in the area. China Bob's always delivers a satisfying, no-fuss meal that'll leave you smiling -- and maybe wishing it was just a little spicier.
