This place knows what they’re doing. My new go-to Chinese spot. The fried chicken was so good and the prices are good as well. Well done

I am not one for writing reviews, but holy moly did I have to. When they say "No. One Chinese", they don't joke around. This is my 2nd time ordering from them. Staff is VERY friendly and VERY helpful and clear over the phone. When I ordered, 15 minutes later, I hear a knock at my door. I am always so surprised when I order from them because they are here IMMEDIETLY. On top of that, the PRICES? Out of this world. Phenomenal. I snag the lunch specials and literally one for 6.65 fills me up, and I am a big dude. This place is absolutely amazing, and everybody around needs to try it.

Been coming here since I was a kid and every time I come home to visit, No. 1 Chinese is a must!!!!! I've literally found no where else that can hold a candle to their steamed dumplings and the sauce that it comes with. Best food ever!

I just moved to the Aberdeen Area in June of 2013 from Middletown and I was missing the chinese restaurant in my old neighborhood until I found No One Chinese food. The Food is superb and they delivery your food hot and fast. No complaints, Except for the ONE DOLLAR GASOLINE CHARGE. I am pretty much across the street. I had to downgrade their review as the last time I had my food delivered, the delivery guy requested a tip. Maybe he should learn how to read the receipt, as I ordered online and added the tip in. In my opinion, it's very unprofessional to expect a tip and ignorant to ask for one. Will highly consider ordering from the Sultan Wok who is a block away. I updated my review today as my past two meals were excellent!!!
