No 1 Hunan Chinese Restaurant

This is my place for take out lunches which are only 6 dollars from 11 AM to 4 PM. It comes not only with the meal but you get a soup or soda. I prefer the Wonton soup. Yesterday, after digging out of the snow blizzard worked up such an appetite that we found No 1 Hunan Chinese Restaurant open. You got to love NYC there is always a place open. It’s the city that never sleeps even during a snow storm. Today back again to take out lunch and digging out more snow.
Tried Beef with Broccoli
Chicken with Mixed Vegetables
Beef with Eggplant
Fun to order items down the list and experiment to see what I like.
Practically order lunch or dinner twice a week here. Food is good and inexpensive. There are dinner specials too.

I grew up eating at No 1 Hunan, and I find it difficult to look anywhere else for consistently tasty Chinese takeout!
Over the span of maybe 10+ years, I’ve tried many of their dishes, all mostly on lunch special as I feel they’re generally the best value (main dish served with pork fried rice (PFR) or white rice, with a choice of soda, egg drop/​sweet and sour/​wonton soup, or egg roll). I’ve had the chicken with broccoli, General Tso’s chicken, chicken wings, lo mein, shrimp with lobster sauce, dumplings, and the list goes on… All for me to say: All good!
If you’re ordering a meal for one and have missed the lunch special, they have all-​day «combination» options that are a great deal and include many of the menu items along with PFR or white rice.
The service is no frills, and they have never gotten my order wrong. Pickup and delivery options have both always been quick.
As long as No 1 Hunan isn’t going anywhere, neither am I as a regular customer.
