This is hands down the number one Chinese place. The orange chicken is the most flavorful and natural tasting, none of that fake stuff. The chicken is so fresh and all white meat. The wonton soup is so good. The customer service is great and has a real family-oriented feel. It's super fast, and the food quality is always top-notch. They even gave us a nice, high-quality calendar with our meal. Definitely a place we go to every time we're in Ocean City. Ps the containers were filled to the brim the pictures were taken after I started eating read more

I ordered a puppy platter and it was overcooked and half was just throw away. The mooshi pancakes were tough and flavorless. I have been to many chineses restaurants and this was the Worst I have ever purchased. One meal out of the three was acceptable Not what I wanted for a New Year' s Eve treat. read more

Loved it. By far the best Asian buffet in the Delmarva peninsula. You will find fresh crispy veggies and great flavors. Enjoy! read more

Food simply had no flavor. I hate to leave a non-favorable review for what appears to be a family business. They just need to work on their recipes. read more

The employees are very friendly, but the food is hit or miss. I live close by so I'm a captive audience since it's the only "Chinese" carry out in my area. If you like crispy beef, find another place because they will tell you they can make it, but they can't. Sauces are good (not great) beef & chicken are tender one time and chewy the next. The biggest disappointment for my family is the "fried rice". I've had the pleasure of enjoying award winning Asian cuisine all over the country, and one thing is consistent across the board........fried rice shouldn't be yellow, and should at least have a little soy sauce flavor. The "yellow rice w/onions" that this place tries to pass off as fried rice is awful. Other than the pieces of onion, this rice is flavorless & undercooked. If you avoid anything with fried rice, the menu is at best what I would classify as "inner city-good enough" Chinese food. It's very disappointing because it seems like with just a small amount of effort this place has the potential to be so much more. Will we order from here again? Probably. But only because in O.C. pizza, chicken, subs, & fast food are on every corner, so even a mediocre Chinese carry out is at least something different, and I'm pretty sure that's the only reason this place is still in business. read more

I ordered the Chicken & Broccoli. I didn't feel so good afterwards. I probably will not be back here again. read more

Strip mall small shop. Good news is that it has good hours and is fast. Plenty of parking. Food is just so-so, not a lot of flavor in anything. Nothing bad, just a very average spot. Plenty to choose from, and a friendly staff. read more

The service was fast and fast and excellent. The food was extremely good and the egg rolls were very crispy. And they have a lot of indoor seating. read more

Food was great and their restaurant is in a good location very friendly staff. Really good fried rice and the beef was real tender, I really enjoyed my meal. Thanks read more

I tried this restaurant recently...ordered boneless spareribs...they were good. Didn't give soy sauce. Place was real clean. I will definitely go back. read more

Very good Chinese food for takeout. Great staff. It is located next to Fast Eddies. The sweet and sour chicken and fried rice is very good.

Over cooked and stringy, I genuinely feel ill after eating this so called "food".... I'll never go back.

Ordered food online for take out and it was ready when we got there. Food is good for the price. Sesame beef is a little slimy. Egg rolls have a great amount of shrimp but could use something more than cabbage inside. Husband said his steamed dumplings were really good. Sweet and sour chicken is pretty good too! read more

This place is definitely not number 1. The food lacked flavor, rice was dry and egg rolls were not crispy. This was some of the worst Chinese food I've had. If you're looking for somewhere in the area to eat, I suggest finding something else. Even Panda Express is better than this place. read more

Typical Chinese carryout store front and no frills vibe. Prok mei fun with delicious, no greasy and perfectly cooked noodles! Szechuan wontons were very good with some added veggies. Not what I was expecting, I was hoping for a spicy sauce, but this was more of a sweet and sour which was delish and their homemade chili oil was the lifesaver! It was legit spicy and hot! I wish I would have asked for a second container! read more

I used to frequent this Chinese carry out for the last 25 years but I have been recently unhappy with the taste and quality. The sweet and sour soup is bland now and the meal tonight was chicken in black bean sauce. Not a single black bean was present although there was a good amount of chicken. It should be called chicken and bland vegetable! Sorry but I won't return. read more

Great food and quick service . Gen Tso and sesame chicken on point . Pork egg rolls and crab ragoons were perfect . read more

The food from No 1 Chinese was disgusting. The spring rolls tasted like they had been fried in old oil, and they were mushy inside. The Sesame Chicken was a little chicken in a lot of batter with a sickeningly sweet sauce poured on it and then a few sesame seeds sprinkled on top. The Crispy Beef was soggy - again beef in a lot of batter with an undefinable sauce. The Shrimp Fried rice had a few shrimp on top of yellow rice - no other veggies, eggs, bean sprouts, etc. The Pork LoMein was so greasy that 30 minutes after eating, my gut was totally cleansed. We spent $70 on our food and ended up throwing away most of it. The picture below is what they call Crispy Beef. I will never go to this place again. read more

No 1 Chinese Restaurant - This is their Crispy Beef. Nothing crispy about it. - Chinese Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Honestly the worst Chinese I've ever had. We got general tsos chicken and the sesame chicken and we both only had a few bites and couldn't finish the rest. It didn't taste fresh or good at all. The egg rolls were the only ok part of our meal. Definitely won't be back. read more

Not sure where to start with how awful this place is. First of all they say they take payment online , then when you arrive they say it didn't work and you have to show your credit card again . Second, the service was extremely rude and very unhelpful . Third the food was just awful . This is by far the worst Chinese food I have ever had . read more

Food not the same all the time, depends on who is cooking, sometimes good, others not so good, pork fried rice is just yellow/ brown rice with nothing in it, maybe a bit of pork, but nothing else read more

Expensive for poor quality food. Don't recommend. Vegetables weren't cooked. Chicken was hard, tasted like it was a day or 2 old and heated up in a microwave. Kung pao chicken and szechuan chicken was not spicy. We had to add sriracha sauce for heat. read more

No1 Chinese restaurant left something to be desired. Looking for Chinese cuisine at the beach I found No1 Chinese. I checked out the reviews here on yelp and found a mixture of opinions. So hubby and I decided to give it a try. We went for a late lunch. The place was empty. We called our order in and it was ready when we arrived. I chose the chicken and broccoli. It came in a brown sauce that tasted somewhat burnt to me. The shrimp fried rice was very bland. My husband ordered the sweet and sour chicken. He said, "it was ok." We both agree that No 1 Chinese was not worthy of a second chance. read more

I felt the portion size was very small for the amount of money they are charging, I ordered a dinner portion but it looks like a lunch portion. Wow, they don't even offer any off season specials. I ordered Egg Foo Young it had good flavor but it was over cooked and one the patties was burnt read more

Not bad at all. It's quick, very affordable and you get a lot of food. Friendly owners! Eat in or take out. read more

No 1 Chinese Restaurant - Huge homade lemonade (and also iced tea) for $1.75 - Chinese Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

We ate here on a Monday night because there were limited options open. We thought we would try something new, but were VERY disappointed. The food tasted like food court mall food. Soggy, raw veggies, and a weird aftertaste. I genuinely feel such regret that I put this food in my body. Waste of our money and I feel my stomach may regret it as well. read more

I ordered one large pork fried rice and one large chicken fried rice. There was plenty of meat in each container along with bean sprouts and onions. I did enjoy the flavor. It was a little different than I was used too but I did enjoy it. Located in the Food Lion shopping center. read more

No 1 Chinese Restaurant - This is my first bowl full. I still have enough for about 8 more bowls! - Chinese Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Pretty normal American style Chinese restaurant. Located in a strip mall, the inside is low thrills and not a place you would want to sit and eat in. They have tables but they are more for show. Not much to look at in terms of decor other than a couple of lovely photos of the owners on their beautiful wedding day and of course pictures of I'm assuming their daughter they are proud of. Food was okay, kept it simple with General Tso's, portion size was large, chicken was cooked well and the sauce tasty. Rice was underwhelming which is always a let down in a Asian restaurant. If you want quick, Chinese food for a decent price, Number 1 Chinese Restaurant is the place to be. read more

No 1 Chinese Restaurant - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

So, we're at the beach and decided we wanted to get Chinese takeout for lunch. This place was the closest but it has some pretty bad Yelp reviews, but then we realized that all the Chinese places here have bad Yelp reviews. Most the negatively was around the employees so we all got real excited to get screamed at by a Chinese woman and off we went. We walk in and the women working weren't the friendliest people around, but they weren't rude. I think they were just more direct and trying to be efficient. The food itself was cheap, hot, and tasted good. We had General tsos, sesame chicken, lo mein, chicken and broccoli, and the only complaint I have now is that I was pumped up to get yelled at and it never happened. I guess the lesson here is if you want some decent Chinese takeout, this place works. If you want to get berated by a stranger, you're gonna have look elsewhere. read more

No 1 Chinese Restaurant - Sesame chicken lunch! - Chinese Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

This was our second time, getting a take out there. We ordered general Tso chicken and two shrimp rolls on the phone and I went to pick up. There was a 12 yo boy behind the clear plastic divided counter and a walky talky in his hand and asked for what you ordered? So I told him, what I had ordered and then a couple minutes later, I got the food. The shrimps rolls were so good, I took a bite and got to taste a good size of shrimp with honey mustard sauce so good. General tso chicken was tasty too and a very generous portion for dinner so of course I could not finish it and ate the next day and still tasted as good as before. I would def go back. read more

My husband and I were in OC for the weekend and I had a sudden craving for Chinese food. We ordered the combination fried rice and the general tso's chicken. The fried rice was good, it just needed a little bit of soy sauce which was obviously easy to add and it tasted so much better. We were impressed by the taste of the General Tso's Chicken, it was crispy and had great flavor. Unfortunately they do not deliver but we'll definitely go back if we are ever around the area again. read more

As far as take out Chinese is concerned, this place delivers (ha-ha get it?) This is probably my new fav. I ordered the chicken lo mein, orange chicken, and shrimp, toast. Everything was ready quickly, hot, correct, and delicious. read more

Sorry. Probably the worst I've ever had. General Tso and orange chicken were soggy and tasteless.

My family has ordered carry out from here several times. It's your standard Chinese menu. I would not eat in as it's more of a takeout restaurants that you could eat there if you like. General Tso chicken is a favorite. Chicken lo mein is also an A+ read more

Great food -- we had pork fried rice and vegetarian egg rolls (marvelous), generous portions, prompt service!

I really wanted to like this place. It is beyond bad. We have eaten Chinese food all over the country and could care less whether it's a hole in the wall or super fancy. This was horrible. Mapo was so awful and yes we understand it can be made differently in different regions. Beef and Broccoli how do you mess that up. Last but not least fried rice???? Yellow? Not fried, bland and well no other word for it bad. Try somewhere else people this was just awful. read more

We had chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce with chicken fried rice and sesame chicken. It was a good size, the rice was good and the chicken and broccoli was very good. They cooked the food quickly and the guy was courteous. read more

The new owners have finally reached rock bottom. They let their 12 year old run the register while they pretend to take online orders. They openly screw online orders up. Please do not give these folks the honesty to fulfill their online orders. Their 11 or 12 year old got in the middle the dispute and knew WAY more than the jerks running this restaurant. read more

I ordered 40$ of food for 2 adults 4kids. After i got my food i decided that we wanted to eat in. I couldnt get plates because i told them it was take out. Disposable plate really!!! I said too late you already got my money. Oh in addition one order was missing. All they care about is getting your money. After you pay you are no longer a customer. read more

DO NOT eat in but I should have known better. You have to buy any drink, even water, out of a self serve cooler and you get served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils and... you have to get them yourself from a dirty bin against the wall. While the House Lo Mein was pretty good there were only 2 shrimp and the noodles were pretty oily. The shrimp roll was smelly and dry and the spring roll was bland and really greasy. The fried rice was just bland and using them packets is a sin, they should provide some decent hot mustard and soy sauce if eating in. In the past 10 years I have had acceptable take out from them so IMHO they should get rid of the tables since there are no proper wait staff, plating and utensils. I felt like I was imposing by eating in, really friendly when I arrived but the total opposite when I let her know I was eating in. read more
