I've been coming here for a long time, sometimes consecutively for months so I feel like an expert Numero Uno-ian. HahaJaja. Except, my GoTo is ONLY two or three items on the menu. Tehehe Before I talk about the food, I love the sense of community they embody. Sometimes I'll be having lunch and overhear conversations and it's so pleasant hearing staff genuinely enquire about customer's children, businesses, etc. Gives me all the great feels. The staff is very welcoming to me as well and often makes space for me when they're occupying the lone table (after all it's a takeout spot). I enjoy hearing them sing along with the music and I've added a few Asian hits to my playlist. Their food is good and consistent. I'm not much of an adventurer when it comes to my tummy so when I find a dish I like, I'll order it for months until my little palate begs me "no more". Each time I order it's fresh, and tasty just like it was the previous day. Prices are affordable and like most fast-food restaurants, they offer many daily specials. They get all five of my stars because hey, they're Number One. The End. read more

The food was inedible! Total waste of money! How can you screw up shrimp toast and beef with broccoli? Well they did it! The shrimp toast was almost black from overcooking and the beef and broccoli was flavorless and overcooked! Don't was your time and money on this place! read more

Wouldn't recommend this spot because they will charge you extra fees without you knowing so be very noticeable about that and I recommend this store a zero read more

Whenever I'm too tired to cook myself dinner after work, I'll call and order my go-to meal, bbq ribs with fried rice, they deliver real fast too. be sure to leave a tip ! read more

Number One Chinese Kitchen - menu - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The absolute best thing about Number One Chinese Kitchen is you only need to spend $6 MINIMUM for delivery. So if you live or are staying in this area and don't want to spend an extensive amount of money or leave the comfort of your own home, ordering from this restauraunt wouldn't be the worse decision in the world. Also, they DO accept credit cards and you can state that you want to pay for it with your card when you call. So yes, say at little as possible and be prepared with your order. SERVICE/DELIVERY: Like many yelpers before me have mentioned, the staff aren't extremely fluent in English, but they are really kind and courteous. When the delivery man came to the door he handed me the food I ordered and didn't get upset with me when it slipped my mind to sign the receipt (since I paid with card). He kindly reminded and went along his way. So service and delivery for delivery purposes only is pretty good and don't forget to tip especially in the Fall/Winter seasons where rain is abundant and from what I could see they use bikes or mopeds or something other than a car to delivery you food, but don't worry your food is well-protected because my dishes weren't water-damaged! FOOD: All foods are made differently dependent on where you get them from. I firmly believe this, especially when it comes to different Asian cuisines. That being said, I've never had Chinese food like this before, which I don't mean in a bad way. It's definitely authentic, if that's what's most important to you. My friend and I both got combination platters. The combination platters come with an egg roll, pork fried rice, and an entree of your choosing. I tried the orange chicken and she got the chicken chow mein. The orange chicken was decent and filling. I have never orange chicken like it before because there were actually bits and pieces of real oranges throughout the dish. My friend's chow mein was a different story...it looked kind of slimy and weird, but to be honest the flavor was all there and they just used a different noodle than you normally might see at a different chinese restauraunt or one that is more Americanized like Panda Express. I think the noodles they used were rice noodles, but I can't confirm or deny this hypothesis because it was just really based on how it looked. All in all, I think that you can't really go wrong from ordering here and it's super convenient that you only need to pay up to $6 to get food delivered to your door. If I wasn't just visitng and lived in the area, I'd probably be a regular since sometimes my lazy struggle is absolutely real. Not all dishes can be amazing and I've only tried a few, so just keep an open mind and know this isn't Panda Express and you should be fine. read more

The egg goo yum is delicious not over cooked unfortunately I ordered a large house special fried rice and was very disappointed that there was very little meat in there no scallions and no bean sprouts read more

my go-to chinese takeout in the neighborhood. every meal i get is great and the people at the counter are always nice. eat here and get the barbecue sauce read more

Food is amazing. Clean. Recommend. I come from ENY just to get food from here. One customer left with $160 of food for her and her large family. read more

Friday night and I definitely did not want to cook , this place was so affordable, food was fresh and flavorful and delivery was super fast. I would definitely recommend and order from them again . read more

It's a good hole in the wall american chinese takeout spot. I order often (probably more than I should tbh). Four stars because the food is well prepared and delivery is always quick. For the last year I've had the same delivery person so i know people that work there stick around which makes me believe they care about their employees. I'm a big fan of the General Tso platter with pork fried rice, wonton and sweet and sour soups, veg mai fun and the singapore noodles. They always give sauces and plastic cutlery even if you say not to in your order (my only complaint). Most all items come in plastic containers that are recyclable or reusable as food storage. Once i was sick and ordered from them multiple times in two weeks and they gave me some extra egg rolls, seems like a small thing but it means a lot when business owners and customers recognize each others humanity. Big love to all the staff at this place, I appreciate the meals you make and they are very much loved and appreciated in my home. I'll end this review with a friendly reminder to support small businesses and to not order take out when there is inclement weather (in general, not from this spot specifically) bc it puts the delivery people that ride bikes at risk. If you absolutely have to order, tip more than you normally would!!! read more

Ugh what can I say. I've been ordering delivery from here for a few months and the food has always been just meh. Nothing to write home about, but not too terrible. I'm writing a review now because I found a fly in my soup. I find that 100% extremely unacceptable. There are so many generic Chinese restaurants that I'd rather eat at without flies in my food! Disgusting. read more

Number One Chinese Kitchen - Fly in soup. Gross - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

don't buy food from here because they will add a service fee on without telling you and they will force you to still buy the food so don't buy from here thank you choose another spot such as a spot on Kingston between Sterling right there by Fabians store if that's a good Chinese store they don't charge no fee read more

Disaster. Ordered from Seamless and the entire order had spilled into the bag. Only thing salvageable was a small order of fried rice... which I had to wipe clean of the mess of spilled lo mein. I will be eating cereal for dinner... and will not be ordering from here again. read more

I've ordered from here quite a few times now and the delivery is always WAY faster than the estimated 30-45 minutes. It arrives hot and fresh! My personal favorite is the egg roles. I order 5 or 6 of those suckers and chow down. Anyone that's giving a poor review simply doesn't appreciate good Chinese take out. This is the #1 Chinese food spot in the area by far. read more

Best Chinese in Crown Heights - always fresh. I used to ride my bike to Bushwick to pick up Chinese in my old neighborhood until I found this place a couple weeks ago. read more

First start with the rude delivery driver. Calls my phone screaming demanding I come down stairs*don't live in bad area* wouldn't have ordered out if I felt like getting dress. Then walk away cursing at me guess he didn't like tip he earned Food gets here 40-45min later with warm food.that was either put in bag sideways and left that way or he recklessly carried it. As result food was in nice shallow puddle of garlic sauce. Only gave them two stars because did try to address it by giving me a credit for my chicken and broccoli but gf food was only Luke warm. So just returned the order..heard good things wanted to try them out too bad read more

When you have to choose a Chinese restaurant to get your fix of fried hard, chopped up chicken wings , why would you choose the Number 2 Chinese Kitchen? Oh and they have Mumbo sauce. read more

So I placed an order solely because of Yelp reviews.my take on this place is bias partly because they messed up my order and it was a bit of a challenge explaining my address and what i wanted to order to the person on the other end of the phone ( just a language barrier mayb this is why i got my rice order screwed up ) I ordered my fav shrimp with broccoli and garlic sauce and i also got the general t-so shrimp to taste what people were raving about. the shrimp with garlic sauce was tasty the general t-so shrimp was fine the sauce was great and spicy but the shrimp overly battered for my taste. i will have to definitely give this place another try. Oh i almost forgot i got the crab ragoon it was okay , it tasted bland i've had better here in the hood...dont get me wrong the people were nice and had good phone manners and this was the quickest delivery i have ever had. read more

It's amazing this is the first Chinese takeout spot that I have been to that doesn't suck. I had given up on takeout spots outside of Sunset Park, Flushing or Chinatown in Manhattan because I have had too many gross experiences. From listless veggies to shrimp fried rices that were made with Adobo seasoning. Also many spots are greasy, the food tastes muddy, not very clean and chock full of MSG. So I was starving one night and gave this place a chance based on yelp reviews. I ordered my standard which is what I base all Chinese takeout on: fried chicken wings and fried rice. I figure if a Chinese takeout place cant do this right then they cant do anything right. So guess what? The chicken wings were crispy, juicy, and tasty; the rice was unremarkable but ok. I ate my fill and I didn't have a stomach ache or get an MSG headache. Then I repeated this order several weeks later and the food was still tasty. Not bad for $ 6 for 4 chicken wings and rice. So that means Number One Chinese Kitchen will get more orders out of me and I can see what else they can do to feed my late night cravings. read more

Number One Chinese Kitchen - Chicken wings and veggie fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered delivery of a variety of items. Arrived on time, but most of the food was between lukewarm and cold. Delivery guy was nice but couldn't figure out how to buzz into my building, which is pretty standard. Most of the food was so-so. I wasn't expecting gourmet, but it was just mediocre and cheap tasting. Will look elsewhere in the area for good Chinese.. read more

Yay. The goodness is in the General Tso's Shrimp. read more

This restaurant is exactly what you think it is: straightforward Americanized Chinese food stock full of msg and it's straight up delicious. I have been getting take out and delivery from here for two years. Prices are fair. People are nice. My go to is pork fried rice and General cho/tso, but ribs, fried chicken (mambo sauce + fries), dumplings (thick noodle but sometimes v. good), and chow fun are also pretty good. They're accommodating (sometimes get black bean sauce on the noodles). Sometimes the staff have very delicious looking noodle bowl I haven't seen on the menu so maybe there's more authentic options hidden in the wings, but I would stick with your go to bullet proof glass Chinese take out orders. read more

Pretty Good. General Tso's Chicken needed a little more sauce but otherwise pretty solid. Crab Rangoon and Sweet and Sour Chicken normal, which is essentially what makes a take out chinese place good. No surprises. read more

There is just something about the way they make their half chicken that sends me into orbit. I order it with piping hot, crispy fries and a cool homemade iced tea. Ahh, perfection. read more

Ok, so based on the reviews of Nai S. and J.G. my fiancee ordered the General Tso chicken and I ordered the General Tso Shrimp...both were very good. Everything was hot and fresh and the price wasnt bad...they did charge and extra 50cent per plate because we both wanted extra egg and sprouts in our rice. So for 14.00 we had tasty chinese food delivered froma neighborhood spot. Its definitely all about the General Tso Sauce!! read more

Having had some really really bad chinese food in this neighborhood, I had pretty low expectations, which may add to my very high rating, but-- when you're craving chinese food, this place is really pretty good. We had hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, veggie rolls, and kung pow chicken. The soup was hot and delicious, the veggie rolls-- not TOO greasy and the kung pow was very tasty. read more

Every time I order the delivery is fast. I just called and the guy new my previous order and address before I could tell him thank you! Amazing service. Highly recommend. read more

just moved to the area and wanted Chinese. picked this place because I didn't have any cash. it was here in 15 minutes. I had the chicken and broccoli - delicious. my husband had boneless spare ribs. loved it. we got steamed pork dumplings and they are good but a little too doughy. the sauce for the dumplings isn't what I'm used to so I probably won't order them again, sadly. but the entrees were delicious, and it was cheap and fast. this will be our weekly Chinese Sunday go-to place for sure. read more

I can't speak on everything but I can say the General Tso Chicken is slammin!!!! And I found this place on yelp, ordered over the phone and my food was here is about 10 mins!!!! Luv It!!!....Hold up (thinking to myself) this might be a bad thing...So if I gain 10 pounds over the next few months, blame them!!!! Damn this sauce is good! Ok back to stuffing my face :) read more

Sad to say we order frm here almost 6x a month....its really good, and they always....i mean always get my order correct, eventho the person that takes the order on the phone barely speaks english. Delivery is fast. My only compliant is that the rice is sometimes hard and not too fresh. read more

This has been my neighborhood Chinese restaurant for almost my entire life. So call me biased if you'd like, but I can say I walk the addition 2 blocks to go here when there is one take out spot closer to my house. And now that winter is here I am just so happy they deliver. read more

First place I tried for Chinese food on the area and Will not be going back. I ordered from grub hub the chicken and broccoli and normally the chicken from any Chinese restaurant is light in color with light sauce. This chicken and broccoli however was really dark and very chewy. I couldn't even bring myself to eating the rest. Ended up throwing food out. read more

My go-to Chinese spot! I love this place. The food is great, delivery is fast, and it's a simple menu. My only issue is the delivery guy who always pretends he doesn't know how to ring the bell just so he doesn't have to come up the stairs. If it wasn't for that, they would have a full 5 stars. read more

So I've been to this place a few times. Food is pretty good for your neighborhood Chinese and not all that pricey. However last time I went I had a pretty bad experience .The guy who took my order barely seemed to understand it. Not sure if it was a langue issue or if he was really rushed. When I got my food the lady who handed to me chastised me for not calling ahead. Sorry, but seeing how I live a block away I'm not always going to bother to call ahead. When I got home my order was pretty messed up. I asked for no broccoli and half my order was dumped out for, you guessed it, broccoli! I went back another day and they got the order right and food was good. read more

So happy with Yelp right now- I ordered based on the recent reviews- and it is as good as I read! Just make sure to ask for extra crunchy noodles for your soup- really good- no MSG read more

My general Taos chicken had 2 shrimp tails in it. Also the rice wasn't great. Sucks bc I live right next to here. I like Wing Cheong much better and I'm 6 blocks from it. read more

Ordered chow mein from this place it came as a soupy onion & sprouts stir fry... What. Not to mention it (whatever it is) tasted very bland and other order of sesame chicken came covered with a very dry sauce. Avoid. read more

Who knew? I used to live right around the corner from Number One and apparently, I was spoiled! For a neighborhood takeout spot, their food is pretty darn good. I miss their brown rice with chicken, broccoli and garlic sauce but most of all I miss their vegetable fried rice. The restaurant by new place sell "vegetable fried rice" but their aren't any vegetables in it? A Number One, their vegetable fried rice had pease, carrots, broccoli, onions and bean sprouts! Simply delicious!!! read more

Do not order from this place. Their service is terrible. My food took 1.5 hours to come. however before the hour I called to cancel my order but the lil Chinese guy hung up on me and said they can't cancel it. Please add they also took the money off my account. I will not be ordering from this place again. Called back 30 minutes later and he said they are still bringing my food. I still did not get it but thats okay because they probably did something to it. read more
