No 1 Chef

Okay so I found this place on Eat24 ordered the food and waited. I placed my order at 1:21 pm and the app have me a 2:16 delivery time which was perfect because I had to get my daughter ready for her nap… door came at 1:54pm…the guy who delivered the food was very rude… he knocked on the for like 15 times and it was ridiculously loud then he shoved a pen and paper at me which I signed but If You don’t want to deliver good in the rain then make your store a pick up only store… the food was not good at all ordered the chicken wontons which was all wonton no chicken… and I ordered chicken egg foo yunvor whatever it’s called which was a soup with my foo parties at the bottom which completely disintegrated into the soup which was supposed to be a gravy for the party… anyways I won’t be ordering from this place EVER again…

We got beef chow mien, garlic shrimp, and the cheese wontons. They all were bland and were nothing like the good we have in NYC, but thier delivery was promt (under 30 mins). Im from out of town and this was the closest best rates Chinese food place. I’d suggest ordering something else.

I have only ordered delivery here. A low minimum delivery requirement and only $ 2 charge. The food is ok but at least it is super hot when I get it. They are always on time so it’s a real covenient spot.

I order 3 lunch specials, 2 with special instructions of no soy or peppers, those 2 meals came drench in oyster or black black sauce, so salty that where totally uneatable. I called the restaurant and explain the situation, wanting to return the food to exchange or credit for next time since the kungpao chicken was OK, but manager refused. I ofeered to return the entire plate so they could understand how it was just no eatable and still refused, won’t order here no more, for not having to loose 2 plates now they lost a 5 customers

This has been our go-​to «Chinese take-​out» for over 5 years now. Consistently good food.

Nice Chinese food with great lunch specials. can be a little on the greasy side but at least the flavor doesn’t lack. Pretty pricey if you don’t get the deals. The portions are good tho considering the quality. Perfect for when you want to be home and get some nice eats. The side dishes are very good as well.

Great flavors made fresh! been here 2 times for takeout really enjoyed everything we orderded. Mangolian beef, kung pao 3 flavors, pan fried noodles were great too.

Folks, these people are total amateurs. I ordered Szechuan beef and let me tell you, there was nothing Szechuan about it. Szechuan beef is sauteed in oil with Szechuan peppers and carrots. It seems like they threw the kitchen sink in it except the very important Szechuan peppers. The end result was this sweet soup with beef, carrots, zucchini, 2 types of mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and a couple of other things. It was practically swimming in 2 inches of liquid with no sign of oil.
Now let’s talk about the rice. You either serve steamed rice or fried rice. What they served pretended to be fried rice but it was not. It was yesterday’s steamed rice soaked in soy sauce. Come on, is that the best you can do?
The egg roll was bland and I didn’t even bother trying the wonton.
I will certainly not be coming back here.

I ordered my food by telephone and had it delivered. She said, 45 minutes but he was here in less than 25 minutes. I ordered the half order of Broccoli Beef and Orange Chicken; Shrimp Fried Rice, and Vegetarian Egg Rolls. Everything I ordered was hot and fresh. The broccoli and beef were tender and the brown sauce was seasoned perfectly. The rice was tender and I had plenty of medium-​sized shrimp throughout. The chicken was tender, but the batter was a little too heavy, but it was okay– the orange sauce had just the right amount of sweetness. The egg rolls needed more vegetables but they were good too. I’m single and I love good food — I had enough for 3 plates! Now, that I’ve tried the basics, I’ll try some of their other spicer dishes. Highly recommended.

my first time ordering from this place and the food was not all that! let me start off by saying i ordered the shrimp in lobster sauce and when my order came it had no shrimps!
also $ 6 dollars for a snapple juice, really?! and to top it off it took like an hour for my food to get here, doubt i will be ordering anything from this place again.

Terrible!!! Unless you are starving, you will not like this food. The texture on the chicken is really suspect.

My co worker and I went on Unilocal to read the reviews on this place. It Looked promising. I ordered the sesame chicken and steamed white rice with chicken fried wontons. The chicken and wontons were OK. Nothing too exciting. Rice was blah…
Also they forgot my fried rice even though we paid extra for it.
My co worker ordered the honey walnut shrimp and she really liked it.
My boss had sweet and sour soup and also really enjoyed it.
Lemon chicken was not good.
I’d come back but I’ll order something different next time :-)

This place is HORRIBLE. they are very high priced for small portioned tasteless food. I paid for more onions and bell peppers then meat and they forgot my drink. so he brought one back in a ⁷⁄₁₁ bag and I was charged 4 dollars for the same 2 liter he spent 2 dollars for at 7÷11… I will never support them…

Make sure you say you want fried rice or they’ll just send you white rice he’ll if I wanted white rice I’d make my own

Order from here through Grub Hub yesterday for lunch — it came FAST.
Ordered around 1pm and it came at 1:25!
I got garlic chicken with broccoli and brown rice.
I love the trays they come in — much better than generic styrofoam containers. Easy to reheat the leftovers.
My friend got orange chicken — it was a little too sweet and not «saucy» enough but still good.
This will be our «go-​to» Chinese delivery from now on.
Very pleased!

The driver didn’t follow the instructions in the GrubHub app. I had specifically requested the driver to show up on time, per the app’s expected delivery time. Instead, he showed up about 20 minutes early. While some people welcome this, I was at WalMart down the street. Knowing I had to briefly grocery shop, I had requested the restaurant uphold GrubHub’s expected time. Arriving early caused him to call me three times and another call from the front desk at the hotel. The driver said that he was the manager, so if he is unable to follow directions per the customer’s request, what does that say about his staff?
Everything was bland. I have no other words. The beef chow fun was a far cry from Jade Café in Sugar Land, TX, which tastes JUST LIKE char kuey teow in Malaysia. The pot stickers were full of meat, but that’s it. I am not even sure if the meat was beef or pork. The egg rolls were just ok, but nothing memorable. I took a few bites of each item ordered and decided the microwaveable soup from WalMart was more flavorful. Would I order from here again? Probably not!

Ordered delivery from Grubhub.
I ordered the chicken chowmein and sesame chicken. The chowmein had lots of chicken breast but hardly any vegetables. The sesame chicken came with a small box of white rice. It wasn’t too sweet and not greasy.
The price wasn’t too expensive. Delivery, for my area, cost a little over $ 2 with a minimum of $ 12, and came pretty quickly. The delivery guy was polite.
It’s not the best Chinese food out there, but still tasty enough for me to order again.

I’ve given this place too many tries. I used to really like this place too so I am sad to say that my last order was the nail in the coffin. I won’t be ordering from this restaurant again.
I got the Garlic shrimp which was inedible, it was overly salty and had a chemical taste to it.
The crab wontons were filled with nothing but cream cheese, where was the imitation crab??? Their egg soup was tasteless.
They seem to be surviving on their quick delivery and convenience because the taste of the food is super low quality.
Don’t get me wrong, I was not expecting to be wowed by typical chinese food delivery but this was just disgusting.

I ordered the Kung pao and the chicken chow mein. The chicken in both dishes tasted really bland and under cooked. The Kung pao chicken had a weird chemical taste.
The chicken chow mein would have been decent without the chicken.
The delivery came really fast, and they have generous amounts of napkins, hot sauces, and fortune cookies :)
I don’t think I’ll be ordering from them again though :(

I like No. 1 Chef!
Their menu arrived in the mail earlier this week and my husband knew I was craving Mu Shu Pork, so he suggested that have dinner at No. 1 Chef. We ordered:
Fried Cream Cheese Wontons with Imitation Crab Meat (#38) — I love cream cheese wontons. These were a TINY bit sweet so I was wondering if maybe they added a little bit of sugar to the wontons. I prefer it without the sweetness, but I still enjoyed it (and ate it all).
Mu Shu Pork (#65) — Love it! The interesting part is that there was no hoisin sauce on the side. I think a little hoisin was added while cooking so the flavor was there. I actually prefer it this way! It was served with four pancakes.
Chicken with Mixed Vegetables (#69) — This is off the «Weight Watchers» section of the menu, These dishes are steamed with no salt, starch, oil, or sugar added. You have a choice of a white sauce, brown sauce, sweet-​sour sauce, or kung-​pao sauce served on the side. They serve it with steamed rice, and you also have the option of ordering brown rice! This dish was very good.
Portions are large — both dishes made fantastic leftovers.
The restaurant itself is very plain. I think it’s more of a takeout/​delivery place. We did eat in and everyone there was very, very nice and polite. They have a sign that says the minimum charge to the credit card is $ 6, and they will deliver with a minimum order of $ 10.
I am looking forward to trying more of their dishes!

4÷2÷2013 Update — I ordered the Mu Shu Pork for delivery last week and they included the hoisin sauce on the side! They must have forgotten to give it to me last time. I still didn’t use it — it was still delicious without the extra sauce.
