    Combination Platter with orange chicken and beef with garlic sauce.
    Jamie P.

    Moved into the area and was craving Chinese. I've been here several times now and it's been consistently good! I usually go for a combination plate with lo mein noodles. So far I love the orange chicken and pepper steak with onion. I will be a regular! :)

    I was charging my EV around the corner here at Willowbrook Commons, walking around seeing if there was anywhere to eat and that's how I found No 1 Chinese! The restaurant is extremely well maintained and I was greeted kindly. The ambiance facilitates these moods of kindness and cleanliness. I felt welcomed and ready to eat! The chefs were cooking and enjoying their work--I could see their smiles and hear their conversations which made me smile too! They were very fast and the young lady at the front had packed my order within about five minutes or less! She related to me about how sometimes waiting for things seems like it takes forever and sometimes life jumps by super fast! I was impressed with her interpersonal approach to customer service and if you are one your way to another restaurant at this moment, turn around and welcome to No 1 Chinese at Willowbrook Commons!

We wanted…read morenoodles, and figured this was going to be just another noodle bar but to our surprise, it was an authentic Chinese restaurant. Nobody was inside, it was just the two of us.

She was so happy to have found a place that…read moreserved Chong Qing Broth and Sliced Noodles which she missed from her undergraduate years in Hawaii. It was an interesting restaurant as we walked in. The decor didn't come across as Chinese. I'm glad my daughter was familiar with the place because I would not have known to go to the back counter to order. I tried asking a couple things about the menu but could not understand the worker that well. It seemed that he couldn't understand me either because he initially put in the wrong orders -- my daughter caught it before we paid. Very reasonable prices. I ordered the Roast Duck Noodles with the Marinated Egg added. My daughter got her usual "Build a Bowl" of Chong Qing Broth, Sliced Noodles, Steak and Fried Egg. I thought I had ordered a Shrimp Wonton appetizer, but a bowl of soup arrived. After asking the worker about it, he just kept saying it was soup (I know), so I just left that alone. Overall quite delicious -- very authentic Chinese flavors. Excellent house made noodles. The depth of flavor in the broths was fantastic. The proteins were seasoned nicely and cooked well. The bok choy in my soup still had a nice bite. The fried egg was crispy on the edges and perfectly runny in the middle. Unfortunately, I found the marinated egg too salty. Service was minimal -- after ordering, the food comes out and that's it. If you need something, you have to get up to ask. No one checks in. The area wasn't busy when we arrived, so parking was very easy right in front. I'm told it does get tough during peak times. I would definitely return for the food, not the service.

What a mistake that was! We were quoted about a 30-min pickup and arrived timely, only to be told the kitchen was waiting on "one more dish." That turned into three total dishes -- out of six. We left after waiting for 30 minutes beyond the quoted time, and still missing the noodle dish (which is the one dish I had really been craving). The staff person said they'd credit us for that dish, but that doesn't make up for the fact that everything else was cold and inedible by that point. Nobody was particularly apologetic, which would've helped a little bit. We like to support local family-owned businesses but I really don't understand what's going on here. Why offer takeout when the way the kitchen works seemingly cannot sync with making food available when it's hot?

Everything is meant to be shared and you're encouraged to try new dishes and choose from anywhere on the menu. I have a peanut allergy and they were very accommodating and automatically made any necessary adjustments to dishes we ordered. We tried a couple different drinks and they were all very good and fairly priced. We went on weekend nights and only had to wait around 20 minutes to be seated indoors, which was to be expected as this place was packed with people and we would have been willing to wait longer if needed. We had two different servers, I unfortunately can't remember our first one's name but she was the one with stretched ears that normally wears her hair up. She was great and very thorough in explaining how the menu worked. The second night we had Lexi and she was super sweet. They were both fantastic and I hope to be seated with either one of them when we eventually go back!

I do not consider myself to be a critic, or a foodie. I don't have a sophisticated pallet. I just love a great meal. Today's meal at Locust was nothing short of spectacular. The staff is always so warm and friendly. Most restaurants with white table cloths and prices we can't really afford, give me the feeling that I do not belong- no matter how I dress or how I talk, and I often end up feeling small. This is not Locust in the slightest and it is clearly on purpose. The chefs always bend/squat down at the table at eye level, explaining any questions you may have about the menu and giving great suggestions. As a guest here, I don't feel intense hierarchy here, and I don't feel a lick of condescension. It feels like they just want to share some truly delicious and special food with you. You, no matter who you are, are more than enough at Locust. The only thing on the menu we did not get was the caviar. We saved up for a year for this meal and every dish was wonderful. Every dish feels so lovingly thought out and intentional. Each one made me close my eyes and smile as the flavors and textures invited me to be present and here with this food, not thinking about anything else in life. My favorite dish came alongside our pillow-y potato bread with perfectly toasted exterior. This was the scallop and yellowtail with black currants. I took a bite of the scallop and lost myself in the gorgeous flavors while I chewed. Then, I felt my eyes well up. "Wait wait, what? Am I about to cry from how incredible this dish is? I can DO that? But I love food and I've never felt this before?" I panicked, trying to stop myself- embarrassed at the thought of crying in a restaurant full of people. Eventually, I realized I needed to go to the restroom to splash some cold water on my face and fix my notatallwaterproof mascara. I returned to the table and told my husband that I was worried about my crying and he said that a member of the staff checked in with him when I went to the bathroom and asked if I was alright and my husband explained the situation- joyful tears. For the rest of our meal different members of the staff would often relay stories of how people have had tears of happiness after eating certain dishes there. It was a compliment to them. Suddenly, I felt at ease. This is the first time that's happened to me, and it was their amazing food that did that. What a testament to the dishes they create and the environment they provide. Stunning. The food at Locust moved me. As did the staff. It is absolutely the best meal I have ever had. I hope whoever reads this will take the chance to experience that for themselves too.
