Great food. Easy local restaurant that has consistently good food, and service. Highly recommend for a quick bite.

This is an inexpensive Chinese take out. There is no seating. The menu is extensive with choices of all the favorites. A few mentionable items. The sweet and sour pork is just that. Fried pork in one container and a side of sauce. The sauce was no where near enough when portioning out the pork. This is one of my favorite foods and I would not order again. The chicken Lo Mein was really good so everyone in our party gravitated towards it. We also had sczehuan chicken that was quite good. Rice most meals come with white rice, I don't suggest you pay up for fried rice as it's just plain rice fried? Finally I will blame this on transport after pick up but both pork and vegetable egg rolls were mushy and flavorless. So I guess this place is hit or miss. Oh and if you order, make sure you get your soy or hot mustard, We weren't given or offered so make sure you ask. read more

I love the number of walk-in small Chinese restaurants named Number One. Just all the American restaurants that claim to have the world's best hamburger. The fun finding here is that they are probably one of the best little Chinese places I've come across in a while. The menu is very common to these places but the difference is how fresh and well prepared the food is, at least at time of this review. I had Cashew Chicken along with fried rice and hot and sour soup. My wife had a Shrimp dish and substituted Thai noodles. Everything was really flavorful. The ingredients seemed pretty fresh. The staff was minimal but very friendly and seemed appreciative of our business. Over all a very reasonably priced meal that I recommend. We will be back. read more

This is the best Chinese takeout restaurant within Soddy, Hixson, and red bank. I grew up here and my dad always got us no 1 Chinese since I was a little one. Each year they get better. I always order beef and broccoli add onions and my husband always gets an egg drop soup and lo mein of some sort (beef or shrimp). It is always 100% delicious. The sauce they cook for the beef and broccoli is to die for! I will always choose this place over anything in Soddy (if I can get away with it lol) I do want to address, this place is not for sitting down and eating in. This is a call ahead and come get your food to take home kinda place. So if you're looking for that, I suggest going elsewhere. They also close most of the time at 8pm on the dot but that never bothers me. Best hole in the wall Chinese food ever! High recommend! read more

Love this place but not tonight. They closed early. No warning. Just stood there in the kitchen staring at the front door while I knocked and they wouldn't answer. Time says they close at 8:30 they decided to close at 8:00. read more

Always take out great vegetarian food with fresh vegetables. Stir fry, egg drop soup, vegetable egg doo young. The lady always wraps well so no spills on way home. Nice portions. read more

terrible experience. ordered General Tso chicken from the pictures behind the counter, showing chicken and broccoli. when I opened it in my car (because they removed all tables to eat indoors), I discovered chicken and yellow rice! went back in and she turned the menu over to show lunch. it said served with rice, but didn't mention no broccoli. on top of that you picked your bottle drink out of a refrigerator that didn't keep them cold and they didn't provide a cup of ice. I will not return and suggest you be cautious of your order. read more

Number One Chinese Restaurant - Not exactly what I asked for. - Chinese Near Me - Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee

I love going to this place every time I get a hankering for Chinese food. Fast service and very friendly family owned.

My husband likes this the most of the two local Asian spots. For Soddy though, it's decent, and my son always devours the chicken and vegetables. The restaurant is very clean, and it's family run. They are very nice :) read more

I tried this take away spot a month ago, couldn't have been better; however, this past Sunday 09/29/24- 4:30pm, food was absolutely horrible. General Tso Chicken turned out to be General Tso Deep fried cornstarch chunks, no chicken!! The LoMein was so over cooked, or maybe pre cooked and held too long. Noodles were horrible. read more

The food here is really grateful Chinese food. They have a great $35 special that you can get eggrolls three entrées are usually get two entrées and a large. The rice is wonderful. It's not sticky. It's not gummy. They're very nice. They do not take credit cards only cash your check, if you call, they'll have it ready when you get there usually it takes him about 15 or 20 minutes to have it ready and it's always hot and our dog loves their wontons out of their wonton soup read more

Absolute hole in the wall- wonderful Chinese takeout! I have gluten issues and don't mind making my own sauce- it's quick and easy- restaurant was incredibly accommodating and make me dishes without any sauce. My family on the other hand can have whatever and enjoy all the food they get from Number One. The people inside the establishment are incredibly kind. Customer service truly does go a long way! If you're in the area and like decent Chinese takeout- don't skip this place. read more

Favorite Chinese food in area fast and friendly service never had a problem with them. Delicious Chinese food.

Best Chinese around by far. Quick and fair priced

Love the food and the service. They have the best crab Rangoon and it's nice just being able pick up and bring home.

Love the food! Great taste and on time service. This is your go to Chinese! Pick it

I tried this place roughly 5 times when I first moved here. The only thing I could find worth eating was the egg drop soup. Stuff was either too salty, too bland or just off in flavor. You do get a lot of food, but if it isn't good who cares. I told myself I should try this again before reviewing since it has been awhile but I am afraid to waste my time so that should tell you something. I drive quite a bit out of the way to get Chinese from other places now. read more

I definitely would not drive to Soddy Daisy to eat this but when you are here and it's all they have for Chinese, it will do. Sometimes I'm just craving Chinese and this fills the order. Food is ok but not the best. read more

Ok my daughter wanted Chinese tonight. So I gave this place another try. I wasn't thrilled with the beef and broccoli, so I tried the happy family and still wasn't thrilled with it either. The rice was the best part which wasn't all that good, it was over cooked. The egg drop soup was ok. I guess my Chinese craving is filled for the next few months. I can't recommend it if I didn't care for it. Oh and the price!! I ordered crab Rangoon, beef and broccoli, happy family and two small egg drops for a little over $30. They only accept cash, no cards. read more

They have never gotten a single order wrong for me in nearly twenty years. Some of the tastiest Chinese food in the southeast region. My wife loves their Black Pepper Chicken and Crab Rangoon. I order Szechuan (chicken, shrimp, pork) and quite often I ask for it to be prepared extra spicy. They are more than accommodating with your special requests! read more

This is not the place it use to be got order wrong. They give smaller portions and the food is not good at all. Very disappointing

Super delicious food. Extremely flavorful and good servings for not a lot of money. Kids loved it so did the wife, definitely will come again. I see why they call themselves number 1, truly deserving. read more

The Mrs. and I get a hankering for Chinese takeout. This place does have a few tables and chairs where you can sit inside and eat your food. However we usually take it home to eat and watch a Netflix. When you come in they usually will greet you with a "phone number? Or name?" Once they figure out who you are and what your order is they grab your order And it comes out fairly hot. The price is usually reasonable and comparable to other Chinese takeout places the order is usually correct and somewhat enjoyable. It's good enough to satisfy your craving for Chinese food. But There is nothing earth shattering about the service or the food or the location. Just your average Chinese food place. Not a good enough where I would recommend it, but not bad enough that I wouldn't go there if someone suggested it. Average. read more

Disgusting. I am an average cook and can make better Chinese food than this. Nasty minute rice for their fried rice. Crab Rangoon was pathetic and order sweet and sour chicken. Yea you get about 5 of them. 0/10 would not recommend for anything. read more

We are new to Soddy area, and craving Chinese food. This was not the place to go... food was cold, greasy! Will not be back.

We order from here a lot. We've only done take out and we've always been satisfied with our food. The tofu is cooked evenly and they are generous with their portions. I can feed my family of five with a combo and a tofu order. I wish they did take cards but thankfully they do accept checks. read more

Have been there one time. It was not good. Was not what you look for in Chinese food. Very strange compared in looks and taste of other Chinese take out. Have not been back. read more

Surprisingly good given the reviews. All my Chinese will come from here. Killer pork-fried rice and egg roll, and the sweet and sour shrimp was yummy. read more
