I had been passing this place for years and always allowed the outside look turn me off. Today was the day I pulled in and was bummed they no longer offer dine in seating. First walking in I was greeted by an awesome young lady. Very pleasant to ask about the menu items. Knew the options of the meals without skipping a beat. The food is made fresh to order and a very short wait to get steaming hot traditional Chinese cuisine. It's not Mexican workers on the kitchen. The feel of this little kitchen is awesome! I ended up grabbing a Coca Cola out of the cooler in the store and ate sitting in the car while in their parking lot. The entire time the restaurant was like a honey bee hive. Customers walking in and walk the entire 20 minutes I was there. This is now a Must stop on every Sam's club trip. read more

No. 1 Kitchen - Chicken and broccoli. Comes with pork fired rice. - Chinese Near Me - Huntington, West Virginia

The food is about what you would expect from a carry out restaurant. The entrees are pretty good but the egg rolls might be a bit greasy off and on but when hot and dry they are very good. I only gave them 3 stars because it is take away only. It is easy to access the restaurant and is located just off I-64 in Huntington, WV. The service is fast but don't expect the niceties of a dine-in restaurant since it is take away only. read more

The service is abysmal! The lady on the phone will cuss you out, scream at you, and is the most vile hateful person I've ever dealt with. They send their driver to cash paying customers without change. Their delivery driver offered to sell me drugs in the past. Its a shame because their food is good. Sadly the people they have working for them aren't worth a shit. If you intend to pick up your order you'll be alright, but avoid their delivery and telephone lady. read more

Everything we tried was amazing not such a great part of town, but amazing Szechuan beef if you could handle those spice top

The good is fantastic. The staff is courteous and friendly. Had order delivered,on time as promised

was assaulted multiple times by lady from the back while pregnant was told they were going to call back to resolve issue was never reached out to. after waiting inside for over 45 minutes read more

It's too bad they don't do dine-in anymore... but this is still the best place for Chinese takeout in the TriState!

Opened in a previous Waffle House, the food there is always awesome. I love Asian food, and I have to say this is the best place around for your money. All meals are reasonable in price, made with fresh ingredients, and prepared by oriental chefs. Plenty of parking, but limited seating I just live this place. read more

We had excellent food and service. We ordered delivery multiple times and each time staff was friendly. Portions were large and good! We enjoyed the lo mein and crab ragoons! If we are back in the area we will order again! read more

Forget Ambiance ... Forget Texas Roadhouse! Passing thru Traveler decided to try this place! An empty lot ... I porked out and ordered: Hot n Sour Soup ... Perfect & awesome Roast Pork with Chinese Vegetables ... Sublime sauce mix (Hoisin for sure with Teriyaki, etc) Fried Egg Roll with Pork Rice came with meal ... Then I noticed the place explode with take out orders ... Nobody eating in except me ... Covid took its toll I guess ... But there's no guessing about the Mandarin Quality of this family's food ... I enquired and they are from the East Coast of China (Fuzhou) ... It was enjoyable to listen to family cook and chatter in Mandarin. If you're near Huntington and are hungry, do not pass up Number 1 ... They are aptly named and my old friend Tony Bourdain would have been delighted to get into the Pork Festivus that I enjoyed. Bon Appetite!!! read more

This has became our go-to Chinese place in the river cities area (since Sherry at China Wok sold out) Not overly expensive. Large portions. Always crowded. Is that good or bad? Much better than our local Chinese place. Its only 30 miles away. Merely a milk run for the Kiser Klan. We've drove 400 miles to eat at a restaurant. This is a bargain. Delivery guy has a fast looking Mustang that looks like he made many fast deliveries in it. read more

No. 1 Kitchen - House Special Lo-Mein (pancit) - Chinese Near Me - Huntington, West Virginia

Best take out Chinese place in the TriState. Quick, delicious, and easy to order/pick up.

Food is good, don't expect some exquisite dining experience because this isn't that. I always call ahead about 15-20 minutes and the food is always ready when I get there and it's always right. Sometimes you'll get a certain worker there who is a little rude or difficult, but that's just what comes with these kinds of places. Other than that the workers are polite. read more

This place has the best Chinese food around, otherwise I would never come back. Because unfortunately they also have the worst attitude toward customers. The white woman at the front desk is the most rude I've ever seen anyone act working in a place of business. But the worst part I the fact that they leave the phone off the hook if they don't feel like taking anymore orders. Like today. I've called for hours. One full hour was just pressing redial every 2 seconds but it was busy everytime. She might not care about the business making money but the owner should. This is ridiculous. read more

While the food here was excellent, the delivery order got practically everything wrong on the occasion I ordered from here. Additionally, I was surprised how long it took to receive the order, significantly longer than the time quoted. I would certainly consider ordering from here again, though it would probably be for takeout to ensure both that my order was correct and that it was completed expeditiously. Haven't yet found a better Chinese takeout place in Huntington yet, so this will still do for now. Overall: 3.0 stars --------- Pros: - Food is excellent and flavorful. - Many coupons are available to get a freebie with your order. Cons: - On the occasion I ordered delivery, the order arrived late and was not terribly accurate. This could be solved via opting to do takeout rather than delivery next time. read more

The food was cooked fast the taste was decent but the Chicken lo mien was extremely oily and the the lady that ran the register and took my order was very impatient. I've been here before and actually ate in the restaurant and it was really good, this time it was carry out only and was disappointing. read more

Best Chinese dine in around! Large portions, never had a bad experience here and the friendliest staff keep us coming! The general tso's chicken is so good! read more

No. 1 Kitchen - General Tso's with lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Huntington, West Virginia

This is our go to restaurant for Chinese carry out. We've been eating here for over 4 years fairly regularly and have never had a bad meal.

I went there the other day, was soooooo disappointed. I guess because they were closed down for so long, they were making up for lost time( money). I got my food home I ordered sweet and sour chicken and got the pork. That was ok but it was soggy and cold. Hot sour soup had huge chunks of tofu and the won tons were stale. Egg rolls had been pre cooked and were inedible very very disappointed. I recommend if you want to eat there Please wait until you can actually sit in the restaurant, so that your food has been prepared right there and then. Sitting in the restaurant you know that it will be fresh. I've always dined in and for the most part this restaurant has always had great food, but if your thinking about take out you may want to rethink your plans. read more

The best Chinese restaurant in Huntington. I have tried them all. I like their egg rolls and chicken fried rice. Never had a bad meal here. Large portions served hot and fresh. read more

See all

I have had both eat-in & take out from this place & I have only great things to say about them. The food is absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection & better than what we expected. The people working are all very friendly & they have no problems with substitutions. Definitely my family's new favorite Chinese place in the area! (They offer free WiFi, too!) read more

I can't explain the feelings I get, when my boyfriend asks me if I want to go to Number one Kitchen. I am addicted to the delicious sesame chicken! And, You get a heaping portion of rice with so much chicken you'll have left overs for dinner! It's not so clean inside, but clean enough to enjoy your delicious meal when it gets to the table. I recommend the west end location for your Chinese fix! Best $5 spent ever! I love you sesame chicken!! Never stop being so good!!! read more

Literally ordered Chicken Chow Mein and a couple of other things. Reminded them to send the noodles; they have forgotten these multiple times and I never complained til today. They still forgot. Was told I would be getting a new order. When they arrived 45 mins later, they only brought noodles. Never mind I had the original order waiting to be returned. Called and was told the noodles was the only thing I was to get. When I reminded them they said "new order" and I still had the original food which was cold. The manager then came on the phone and told me that was the policy...they couldn't send me a new order. I asked him, "so, you expect me to eat this cold when it was your mistake?" He hung up the phone. So, they basically sold me a cold gelatinous order of Chinese. I will never ever order from them again...and I WILL LET OTHERS KNOW HOW THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS!

I have no idea if there are any other Chinese delivery restaurants in Huntington, bc this is the only one I ever order from, and the only one I have ever heard of friends ordering from. It's a little surprising to hear non-Chinese people answer the phone, but they are always very friendly. The delivery people have gone out of their way on more than one occasion to get my food to me when I accidentally gave my home address instead of my work address. Also, they typically give an estimated wait time that is a little longer than the actual wait time. There is a credit card minimum, so I like to order three lunch meals at a time, and then eat them throughout the work week. If you want more "authentic" Chinese food, probably go to Wonderful. As far as good old fashioned regular American Chinese food goes, this place is great. I would order from here even if there were other delivery options. read more

Terrible service. Employee's lack basic social skills Had bad experience on phone first time I called. The food was good though so when we got our stimulus yesterday practically every penny was spoke for but I wanted to treat my family to one special meal. They wanted Chinese. So I thought it must have been a one off before. I called. The woman was so rude. She did not even give me time to explain i wanted extra sides. She bit my head off.when I said I wanted sweet and sour chicken reaming me you only get two choices. I said I know I want to pay. No apology. Just oh. Before I could finish my order she decided she was done takings my order. She cut me off saying it would be 40 to 50 minutes and hung up. This is the second bad experience with there help. I've worked as a hostess and waitress. If I was as rude as their staff is I'd have been fired on the spot. Im angry I chose them. We did not have enough food for everyone and I still laid down a chunks of money. Terrible experience. Im a kind person and I don't usually get angry. Its the next day and I'm fuming. Some folks have plenty of income to order out. For us it is really special and I won't be calling them again or giving themselves our business. The owner needs to know his staff is rude, that they rush you. Tacky bad experience. Its like give me your money and hit the curb. There are nicer people and nice. places to give your buisness too. This is not one of them. read more

I love Number 1 Kitchen. Always fresh, hot and delicious! Great prices too. Less expensive than other Chinese Restaurants. This place was me and my fiancee's first date! The staff is kind and helpful and the restrooms were clean. I'm so thankful this place is close to our home. read more

Seriously the BEST Chinese food in Huntington. My family eats here enough that I think we're considered regulars now. We don't even need menus! The waiter just asks if we want the same thing.... yes! And it's ALWAYS correct! I feel like I'm cheating if I eat Chinese from anywhere else.... read more

If you want sugar sugar sugar definitely eat here. Place gets points for being "fresh" made/prepared but it's just regular fake Chinese food. The General Tso's chicken actually stuck together from the sugar. I can see why people love this place based on the fact that people also drink soda all day and the portions are HUGE so it's a good value. On the positive side, the service was good but we didn't know if we were supposed to sit down or wait to be seated so that was confusing. read more

Terribly unprofessional when taking orders on the phone. I was rudely cut off multiple times while explaining my address, so I asked if someone else could finish my order. I explained to the other worker the issue and how restaurants shouldn't chase away business with bad etiquette but she was not concerned. Needless to say the food was subpar and unfortunately my last minute option on Christmas, will never order again! read more

Quite possibly the best Chinese take out one can get in Huntington. I enjoy their sweet & sour soup and Orange chicken a bit more than other dishes. They stay busy and there is a reason why - their food quality. read more

Great food, Great service! We order shrimp fried rice and chow mein from their all the time as well as your other Huntington location. I don't know why everyone's writing negative reviews about you guys but it seems this location is getting more positive views than the other I don't know why the other got so terrible reviews but whatever atleast this one got better. read more

Terrible customer service. I understand people prank calls but there should be a better understanding that some people on lunch doesn't have the luxury of waiting. 5-10 minutes on a 30 minute lunch is not something someone would want to do, especially that it takes 7 minutes to get there- minus traffic. Just unbelievable. read more

So, I was never a "Chinese Food" fan. I'd go for it on occasion, but for the most part it was just okay. But...I'd always frequented buffets, where the food is old and cold. My sweetheart and I had been told about #1 Kitchen, and finally decided to try it. OMG. Soooooo good! The food is hot, fresh, delicious and affordable! We go about once a week now! We love this place! I recommend: Crab Rangoon, Wonton Soup, Sesame Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken and Lo Mein. Their egg rolls are great too! read more

Horrible customer service. They complain and get bad attitudes when they take your order.

If I wanted buffet food, wouldn't I go to a buffet? Same ol' stuff, just made to order. The chicken lo mien was mediocre at best. The staff would get a 2 out of 5. We felt like intruders in someone's kitchen. Prob won't make an effort to return in the future. read more

I was very impressed with this restaurant for my first visit. The service is quick, the food was delicious, and I definitely received a good value for the price. The crab Rangoon was one of the best I've had, and the chicken and broccoli was stellar. I'll definitely be ordering again. read more

Only chinese resturaunt we frequent. Hibachi suks. Everything cooked together. Was there one tome only. Way overpriced.

Wow, told by staff at Fairfield Inn in Huntington that this was the place to order delivery from. Yelp reviews seemed to confirm. Prepared my phone in order, to expedite the process and made the call. Was looking forward to asian dining, although in my hotel room by myself and working. I was put off by the busy signal, at first. Realizing that was probably a good sign at 6:00 on a Wednesday night. I again called, I was happy to hear the phone ringing... I was greeted with an abrupt answer, must be busy. I responded with my request for delivery. I was asked my location and stated, Fairfield Inn on Kinetic Drive...I was told that they would not be delivering that far, tonight. I was a bit flummoxed...and asked if I had understood her correctly... She again repeated that, they're not delivering that far, tonight. I said really ? The call ended...she hung up on me !! Wow, a Wednesday night in Huntington...I expected that this might not be the busiest night of the week. My bad. I will more than likely, never consider this restaurant as an evening meal option during my times in Huntington !!! read more

My favorite Chinese place in the area! I have never tried anything here I didn't like. It's always fresh and high quality. What I usually order only costs about $9, and that lasts for at least two meals. It's much more worth it than all the local Chinese buffets. read more

I cannot even imagine how this place might get a bad review. I'd passed their space routinely and had not ordered until a friend strongly recommended it. We have ordered a number of times for delivery and have never been anything but pleased. Yes sometimes there are language barriers. read more
