The chicken legs were bleeding and I was so sick of eating such undercooked food I wouldn't eat it again. I was a person who ate such food not long after surgery, and the consequences were unimaginable. I will also tell my friends to avoid lightning. read more

RIDICULOUS STAFF AND WAIT TIME!!!!! Ordered to go on a Sunday night at around 6pm. We ordered #2 half crispy duck, #9 fish with pickled mustard green, #24 wonton. Was told by the staff that the order would be ready in "20 min". But ended up waiting for 1 HOUR!!!!!!! 64 min to be exact. More than TRIPLED the wait time that I was told while placing the order!!!!!! As I followed with their staff about my order, they said #9 the fish takes a longer time to prepare. Well...... I mean, if you already knew, why would you told me 20min at first when I placed the order??!!!! This is completely unreasonable!!!!! I asked to cancel my order and to get a refund. They said the food is ready!? I insisted that I do not want it anymore as I have waited enough! Anyways, long story short, they didn't process the refund and I was told that they gave the order of wonton to another customer!! WTF?! Never coming back again! And I DO NOT recommend anyone coming unless you like to wait.... read more

No 1 Express - My order of wonton was given to another customer after 64min (vs 20min wait time that I was told by the staff when I placed the order) - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Decided to try this fairly new restaurant. Located near By the ups store. Phone Ordering was easy. we tried the following. braised pork rice - the pork was way too fattening. Two large chunks of the pork was actually like 97% pure fat. the taste was also on the sweet side. fried pork chop rice- the fried Pork itself was Very lightly seasoned so it wasn't very flavorful. Combined with pure white rice, was kind of dry. Somewhat disappointing. probably wouldn't recommend. And probably won't come back. i am also starting to doubt (some) Yelp reviews. Sometimes these reviews do not really reflect the truth. read more

Orders braised pork belly rice combo to-go given the excellent reviews they have. Out of the four pieces in my box two were pure fat, not edible. I think this is just bad business practice since they know it's take out, chances are you will not go back for $12. I would not order from here again. read more

No 1 Express - a close up of a plate of food - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Found this place on yelp with a friend at midnight, the food was very economical, low priced and the staff was very polite in helping its customers even close to closing time. Theres honestly nothing i did not enjoy about the experience. Portions were large too, for a $13 dollar meal i was able to split into two meals. read more

So I searched up "cheap eats" in my area and this popped up so I gave it a try one day. While both items I ordered were under $10 each, it was loaded with rice and not too much for toppings. Definitely not for me and doesn't justify as good for value. Their braised pork was pretty good but really can't eat too much as it gets really filling. I also ordered their mushroom chicken, not a big fan. read more

Was in the area and it was late and found this place. Staff was very friendly, she was thorough in telling us how to cook the frozen wontons I got. I ordered the fried pork chop and fried buns and they were delicious. Def recommend this place. read more

First time trying this place. Super nice staff. I was greeted shortly after I entered the shop. I ordered sour and spicy cold noodle and crispy duck. Highly recommend both! The duck was juicy and meaty. Would be better with some kind of sauce. Cold noodles was great! We really enjoyed the chili paste they put in there. Overall, very nice place! Prices are reasonable as well. Worth a try. read more

If you're anywhere in the area and you're looking for an amazing Chinese restaurant, this is the place! It's a smaller venue, but it's a really cozy place. We came here for lunch, and it made me wish I lived local! Not only was the food prepared fast, it was also very good! Some restaurants you can tell they "rushed" the food, but this is not the case. The food is delicious, and it's very inexpensive! Again, some restaurants are not very generous with their portions, but this place has an amazing value! If you like the seafood, I highly recommend ordering NO.31, which is the hot and spicy crayfish with rice. We even got an order to go for later, it's that good! read more

The best braised pork 上海紅燒肉 for this size of restaurants in the area! We'll definitely come back again and again to try the other dishes. The fried pork chop is just done perfect. Crispy outside, tender juicy inside, to eat with the vinegary sauce, wow, yummy. Duck is delicious too if you don't mind bones. read more

Solid new plate lunch spot. Got the duck, fried pork and sweet and sour pork ribs. The sides were all the same but I'm guessing that changes daily. Hopefully as things get busier they can have more variety with their sides. Giving it one of the best compliments by saying "would eat again" read more

Omg! Totally unexpected! I went to UPS next door to make a return and saw this place and thought to give it a try. Saw this place before but never tried it. I ordered two items for lunch. Price was very reasonable, not pricey. It's soooo good. Writing the review while eating. Had to review this, it's just too good. The rice! The rice was perfectly made. It's fluffy and perfect texture. Not soggy that's all clump together like some places. Food is really tasty and flavorful. The chicken was juicy, tender and flavorful. Should've tried this place earlier. This will be another go to. read more

This restaurant has been on my radar for a while, and finally, I found a time to try. The price is very reasonable. I like their mushroom with ground pork. This reminds me of my mom's cooking. I also try their pan-fried bao. It is a little bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, this is an excellent restaurant and will come again. read more

Really delicious braised pork at this place. It literally melts in your mouth. If you love tender braised pork then you should definitely give this new spot a try. We got the Braised pork rice box and the Crispy duck rice box. Nice portions for a reasonable price. It's located in a strip mall next to a bakery and UPS store. Parking was easy. There's a medium size dining room but we did takeout due to the pandemic. The food was well packaged and came out in about 15 minutes. The lady at the register was very nice. I will definitely be back! read more

Just ordered the braised pork and crispy duck and chicken cold noodles. Portions are pretty good for the price and taste good. But there was no chicken at all in the chicken cold noodles: only cucumbers and noodles. I wasn't going to drive all the way back to complain. FYI: customers should check their food before leaving the restaurant. read more

Finally gave this place a shot and ordered a pork belly rice for lunch, and wow! Generous portion and price! $8! You can't really find that price in the area anymore. I appreciate how they dealt with the pork well to get rid of the stinky American pork smell without smothering it with strong alcohol. Pork belly is just going to be greasy, but it's not overly greasy. The skin is so bouncy and melty, love it! I only complaint was that there wasn't much fragrance to the pork. I'm used to braised pork belly smelling amazing, and this is lacking. 色香味缺了香. I also am not too into the cucumber with egg...weird combination... Will be back to try something else! read more

Food here is really good for the price point, portion size is just right. A friendly calming environment for a easy and casual lunch/dinner on a weekday. Service here is decent, they're really friendly just not that quick on their feet but if you're not in a rush, it's bearable wait read more

This place is awesome!! Affordable and super authentic Shanghainese food, I come here for the House Special Crispy Duck and the Pork Belly Rice. Shanghainese food is hard to find at an inexpensive rate, as the type of cooking is quite laborious - requiring a lot of prep, ingredients and time to produce rich and flavorful foods in the cuisine. When most people think of Shanghainese food, Xiao Long Bao (XLBs) is probably the first thing that comes to mind, but this place offers a wide variety of other Shanghainese specialties, including Kaofu, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, and Oil noodles. Though the menu is quite meat-centric, each rice combo usually comes with a small serving of vegetables and tomato egg to balance the sweetness and saltiness of typical Shanghainese foods. Don't be afraid to stop by for a quick bite or call in an order to go, this is definitely a place not to be missed if you're in the area! read more

We weren't expecting much from this place, but this place is amazing! Their food was hot, fresh, flavorful, and well made. It didn't taste like something they cooked up from frozen or made with a lot of fillers. We ordered the braised pork belly rice ($8.50). It comes with rice, a fried over hard egg, a side of soy sauce ish gelantious jelly (not sure what it is, maybe it's hot and sour jelly?), and spiced pickled celery salad. We don't usually eat celery so this was alright. The jelly was interesting, it's good but also weird. Tasty though. The braised pork belly rice was exactly what we expected, really good and flavorful. We would order this again. We ordered a side of deep fried pork chop ($3) because we wanted to try their pork chop rice but didn't want another rice combo. The pork chop was a regular panko bread pork chop with no seasoning on top. Something we could have easily made at home. We would not order this again. It comes with a side dipping sauce that's like a sweet soy sauce. We also ordered red oil chaoshou ($11, shanghai wontons) and pan fried pork buns ($11). The red oil chaoshou highlighted szechuan chili without much sugar or soy sauce. It was good but different than spicy wontons from A&J or similar. The wontons were really good though, very large and flavorful. A little bit too much szechuan mala flavor for us and we would probably not order again. The pan fried buns were super delicious here! It had a soft, yet firm bao skin. It wasn't overly bready. The filling was generous and flavorful, probably one of the better pan fried baos we've gotten in awhile. Tian You Feng Dumpling House was good too but a little on the skimpy side. We would definitely order these again. We were surprised they spoke english very well and also very friendly! We were very happy with our meal and dining experience. The restaurant was clean and it was relaxing to eat without feeling breathed on by the waitstaff or other customers. It was fairly dead on a Sunday afternoon but we did hear them getting phone orders. It was very affordable for decent sized portions. They are located in a small strip mall with other restaurants but some restaurants don't get a lot of foot traffic or aren't during certain hours of the day so parking is very easy. Don't hesitate to try this place out! read more

Very small portion for their to-go orders through Uber eats. Not sure why the portions are different but 2 pieces of chicken wings for $8.50 and very thin slices of deep fried pork cutlet for $10? Ridiculous. They also tasted bland. You're better off going else where. read more

Would have loved to have left a review of the food here since I saw great reviews below. However, I was ignored for a solid 5 minutes standing in front of the cashier when I entered the business and never got acknowledged (not even eye contact; barest minimum) much less asked for my order. Not sure if it was a cultural thing (other people were acknowledged) or staff training issue but, unfortunately left with no food and disappointed - drive elsewhere to pick up lunch. Would highly recommend a basic customer service class for the staff. read more

I rarely post reviews anymore, but you can't go wrong here. Mom and pop hole in the wall with delicious (taiwanese?) braised pork over rice. Yum! Smoked duck is yum too! Pork chop rice is double yum! And so much food for the price! Order online for pick up is the fastest service, I'm told. Next to duke's bakery. Awesome for a quick lunch. read more
