No 1 express

Ahh No 1 Express: where to begin. First off, I downloaded yelp for the sole purpose of crafting this review. Everything from the authentic oriental cuisine served at No 1 to the friendly staff and welcoming location serves to boaster the patron experience. I personally have tried every item on the menu a multitude of times and would recommend any of them at the bar of an eye. I have personally sought to cater this for my beloved daughters wedding in Beverly Hills, and will continue to be a faithful customer until I reside 6' under ground. No 1 truly goes above and beyond to embody what it means to have altruistic customer service- whether it's giving you the right amount of change or making sure you receive your food. Despite their cumbersome load, they make sure every customer feels valued. You can be sure to expect nothing but smiles and laxatives when dining at the fine establishment.

Very nice Chinese take out food from No 1Express

First of all, I am not a new bee in tasting Chinese food. I ate at five star fine dining Chinese restaurants. If you don't know about that, I don't blame you. Believe me. PF Chang is not one of them. Perhaps you have never been to S. Korea. Yes. Hard to find in U.S. Anyway, living a lifestyle of fast and furious, I have to know where I can grab good quality Chinese takeouts. Yes, I am talking about fast and furious Chines e take-me-out-of-here-cuz-I-am-satisfied type of food. Very clean tasting Chinese food here. When I am in Beachwood or Warrensville hts area, this is my favorite stop!!!! This is what I call quality Chinese takeout and this is why I had to give Panda Express dirt poor rating. I say not all the "Expresses" are created equal...

They are the best and most reasonable priced Chinese restaurant around and I highly recommend their hot and sour soup.

A family owned take out or delivery with reasonably good food; part of the appeal is the excellent value.

China Gate is Chinese restaurant in South Euclid. You'll find it at Cedar Center North Plaza. It's…read morea convenient stop if you're shopping nearby. Also, a central destination if you're tracking from South Euclid, Cleveland Heights, or Beachwood. I was craving Chinese food for dinner and stopped here for takeout. It won't be by regular takeout destination. AMBIANCE: China Gate is a takeout only place. The restaurant is very small and not so clean. Half of the restaurant and seating is obstructed by random boxes and storage. There are three tiny tables inside. The chairs and tables are affixed to each other with little room between the two. It's impossible to sit comfortably. It was very uncomfortable to even sit and wait for takeout. Dining in is not a good option. FOOD: The menu is multi-page containing options like combo plates, soups, fried rice, lo mein, and other familiar favorites. Spicy dishes are clearly denoted in the menu. There is a pink sheet with up charges for items - oil, soy sauce, fortune cookies, and others. I ordered Sesame Seed Chicken Combo Plate ($14) and Wonton Soup ($6.50). There were plenty of problems with my order. The main one being it wasn't quite my order. Sesame Seed Chicken Combo Plate comes with pork fried rice and egg roll. My order came with small white rice, no egg roll. There was a generous portion of chicken (container full) but it was awful. It was not a cohesive dish. Some pieces were very dry, others too soggy. Some were sweet, others a bit sour. The chicken was not evenly coated in sesame seed and honey sauce. So it was essentially half sauced. The sauce tasted like honey from honey bear container that was extremely diluted. The sesame seeds tasted slightly burned. The entire dish was bland - not sweet, not salty, nothing. Won Ton soup was not good. The broth was considerably darker than similar soup at other places. There was too much onion. The won tons had a lot of dough and teeny tiny meat pieces inside. Single pieces of meat were nice but they were too fatty. Overall, the soup was too concentrated/dark soup base but also lacking flavor. SERVICE: Service was chaotic. I walked in to place an order in person. The employee took orders of multiple people calling in before acknowledging me. I was standing right in front of her. She was raising her voice at customers on the phone and almost arguing about what the orders contained. I will say that there were lots of questions asked to ensure that the orders were right on the phone. Average wait time provided was 10-15 minutes. My order was up very quickly. Overall, I found service to be very unwelcoming and too animated. SOUVENIRS: Cute glass and ceramic Chinese horoscope figurines are available at the counter. It is unclear if they are for sale, no prices are listed on them. PARKING: Large parking lot is available at this plaza. Plenty of places to park. I was pretty disappointed with my visit. I didn't get the right order. My order was not tasty at all. I'll sound silly, but after tasting my meal, I strongly considered immediately going to another Chinese restaurant for another takeout. I will not be returning because no part of my visit was satisfying.
