First time here. Was highly recommended. Ordered sesame chicken and Mongolian beef. I will say it was a shame because the sauces were very good. However, the quality of the meat was not. The sesame chicken was pretty much little balls of fat and grizzle. When you cut them open, it looked disgusting we threw it out. No actual solid pieces of chicken. The Mongolian beef was better, but the beef was also either a cheap cut or a way over cooked. It was very very chewy. One and done. read more

This place has gone downhill over the years, which is unfortunate . At this point the food is basically inedible. The curry sauce had a nice spice to it but it was too watered down to be used as a dipping sauce or to pour over your food. Szechuan bean curd was a soggy mess, had no spice and a very unappetizing brown color to it. What is usually a spicy dish this one had hints of sweetness and fish, very unpleasant. read more

Food was absolutely disgusting. To the point where it's obvious they do not care about quality in the slightest. Makes you wonder how much they care about food safety. read more

No. 1 Chinese Restaurant - Burnt shrimp egg foo young - Chinese Near Me - Trenton, New Jersey

Number 1 Chinese Restaurant on Parkside Avenue, Ewing, NJ., is classified at the apex of an imaginary list of Chinese houses. Only if you hold that list upside down will it come close to the top. This is strictly a takeout and delivery joint with good reason. If you walk in as I did to order and pick up your own food, you will discovery that it is unkempt with a layer of grime throughout. Not a pleasant place to wait. The menu and prices are about what you would expect for a low budget kitchen. The lunch specials are all under seven bucks for a pile of stale fried rice and choice of soup or egg roll in addition to the main offering. I found my orange chicken to be small pieces of clucker, thickly breaded and wok fried so that it was not always possible to discern the actual chicken within its cocoon. As indicated, the fried rice was at least a day old, underheated, clumpy and dyed with whatever bouillon they cooked it with. The sauce was thick and gloopy, but the flavor was not so bad. The overall experience just left much to be desired. The only saving grace was the egg roll, which was actually better than expected, with pork strips within in addition to cabbage and spouts. Not the place I would return to unless it was the only game in town. read more

This local Chinese takeout restaurant crosses off all the boxes for a good takeout place. The food is decent, the staff is kind, and the service is quick. During quarantine, it is especially nice to see that this place is also taking the necessary precautions to keep both customers and staff safe. Everyone is wearing protective equipment, transactions are done through a window and not at the register, and reminders for proper social distancing are posted. Good food and good service. No frills and no complaints. read more

customer service is horrible I had to fight with the driver for my change !! literally not even five minutes away from me .... and they charge a delivery fee already . & he wouldn't give me my 5 dollors change . terrible.!! read more

Chinese food is pretty okay here. I got delivery. Veg fried rice: very bland and dry. could use more moisture and seasonings chicken lo mein: pretty good but a little too oily general tso shrimp: really good! granted there's like half an inch of batter but very crispy, i am a fan Delivery didn't take too long, granted when I opened the door I saw the delivery man drop my pepsi, but no big deal. As long as it wasn't the food, I wouldn't have been too happy read more

I genuinely love this place. I moved to Ewing not too long ago, and this is the best Chinese food I've had since moving!!!

Arrogant as hell.. Treat customers like shxt. I don't think this please is clean at all. Always dark.food smells fishy

DO NOT GET THE COLD SESAME NOODLES. Repeat that as many times to yourself as you see fit. It is literally noodles tossed in peanut butter. While yes, I know sesame noodles traditionally contain peanut butter as a component to it's dressing, these noodles were tossed in a thick helping of Skippy. It was disgusting. DON'T DO IT. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. I've ordered steamed entrees from many other places, which turned out to be more oil drenched and soggy. But this place makes it RIGHT and FRESH and I like that you can choose a sauce on the side with it (steamed healthy entrees). Also, I'm addicted to their fried wontons :-) Overall, food is good. Their service is good, some of them may not understand English that well but they usually then get someone else to takeover...no big deal. Delivery is pretty fast as well. read more

Live in Ewing or Trenton? This is your Chinese takeout place. I'm a fat guy that tried all the local spots! The food is delicious and hot, the deliveries are always fast, and I've never had an incorrect order or long wait. I recommend the fried rice, anything with garlic sauce, poopoo platter.. Hold on a second, I'm starting to drool. read more

Singapore mei fun - excellent curry dish! We don't ever order curry dishes but decided to try something different and was told it was very popular by staff. We enjoyed it very much and will definitely order it again! Shrimp rolls - excellent & crispy- we cut them in half so you get 1 baby shrimp in each end, put hot mustard, soy and duck sauce on each end. Yum! General Tsos Shrimp - we usually order general Tsos chicken but after reading reviews we decided to try the general Tso's shrimp and happy we did! We were impressed with the nice quantity of jumbo, thick battered and crispy shrimp. Normally I would be turned off if I read thick batter but it was crispy and delicious. Dragon and Phoenix- ordered for the first time and like the side by side combination of shrimp and chicken. The shrimp was not battered and was nice and slightly spicy. Crab Rangoon - nice and crispy Teriyaki beef sticks- my 5 year old loves them Always very fast delivery service! read more

Food was fine but it put me in the hospital...if you're gonna use peanut oil maybe call patrons who order (put it in the order details about my allergy and ended up needing to use my epipen) and make you aware of allergies read more

We ordered lunch with work and it was below mediocre. I ordered General Tso's Chick with "Pork" fried rice. The chicken was ok, they rice doesn't look anything like the pictures online and there's very little pork in there. I tried it a few years ago and didn't like it but thought i'd give it another try and it still disappoints. The only good thing about it was since I didn't finish the rice, I saved a few calories! read more

Is this the number one Chinese restaurant I've ever tried? No. But, the food is well prepared, the service is fast and courteous, and they deliver for free. I haven't been disappointed by anything I've ordered from this place, except that their egg rolls aren't great due to being a bit bland and overly greasy. Everything else has been lovely -- traditional American-Chinese fare, such as chicken with broccoli, lo mein, fried rice, crab rangoons, shrimp with lobster sauce, etc. We order from Number One when it has been a long day and we don't want to cook. Not too often, but we'll keep ordering from here. They also give a free 2 liter of Pepsi with delivery. I don't drink it, but it's a nice gesture and good to have on hand for guests, so it works out. read more

Never again! Generals Tso Chicken was dry and hard. I couldn't chew it, it was stringy. Even my dog couldn't chew it. Not good! read more

I order last night. What was delivered to me was literally the most disgusting food I have ever been served. I got the hot and sour soup, chicken fried rice, and sesame beef with lo mein. Everything had this distinct weird smell which I can only describe as foot ish or like a locker room. I actually posted a nice review for them last time I ordered because the food was genuinely nice. I did order close to when they were closing so maybe this horrible odor/ taste was some kind of way to get back at me? I ordered on Grubhub and they were kind enough to issue me a full refund. Then I walked all of my "food" directly to the dumpster where it was laid to rest. Never again will they get any money from me. I am seriously warning you! I'm so lucky whatever that was didn't make me sick but I did only have one bite of each item before deeming it inedible. read more

Really awesome food! Haven't had decent Chinese in a long time. We had a little order snafu but they fixed it right away. Will definitely order again!! read more

Ordered delivery, and the food came faster than expected. Food was delicious and there was a lot of it for the price. 5/5 will order from there again! read more

Number 1 is number one for delivery. They always tell us it will be 30 minutes, and unless they're really busy, it usually takes far less time. We especially like the fried dumplings, the chicken in garlic sauce and the moo shu pork. In addition to the meal, they'll bring you, as a bonus, a bottle of Pepsi. read more

The food is delivered hot and much quicker than their estimate. The chicken with vegetables has a great mix of chicken and vegetables. The chicken cuts they use are great. They don't use a lot of "filler" vegetables like onions - you get the good stuff. The prices are the best in the area. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah and the General Tsos is amazing!!! read more

Easier to just drive ten minutes to get my delivery food. 1 1/2 hrs later and still waiting

I live right next to this place and let me tell you, the pineapple chicken is to die for. The place is takeout only but for the price and the food, I'm completely fine eating delicious pineapples and succulent chicken from my warm, comfy couch. read more

I go there every weekend or once a week at least you just could never had a problem service is fast

Excellent food! I had wonton soup and it was delicious, my friend got boneless bbq ribs. The price was very reasonable especially considering the large portions we got. We were both very pleased with our food. The delivery boy was also very friendly despite not speaking much English, he got out of his car and stood in the drizzling rain while waiting for us instead of staying in his car, which I thought was very professional as well as helpful as we ordered delivery to the parking lot outside our dormitory. He was very kind to us as we were fumbling a bit to carry our food and pay him at the same time. Delivery took about half an hour which I thought was reasonable as it was a Friday night. Anyway, we had a very good experience and will definitely order from here again. read more

Ordered here because they delivered and no one wanted to leave the house. Food didn't taste like normal chinese food. Lots of pieces of the chicken were chewy. We only ate a little bit and tossed the rest. Very disappointing. Would never go here again. read more

I ordered last week and at my old age I did not know that such lousy food was still being sold. They are greasing someone's hands to stay in business. read more

Number 1 China is delicious. I only get dumplings and veggie-fried rice, but they are really good. The perfect amount of veggies in the rice, and with each entree they give you a little packet with a fortune cookie, fork, and sauces. They are extremely quick with delivery as well, so you're never waiting a long time for your order. My go-to Chinese place! read more

Number1 China? More like number 2 China. Our meal came exactly an hour and four minutes late! we live about 10 minutes away from their store so there is no reason why our food should be an hour late. when we called to ask where our meal was we received a tangy attitude. I didn't eat the food but the guy was kind of a douche read more
