#1 Chinese Kitchen Staten Island Reviews
The lo mein was flavorful and well-seasoned, with tender noodles and generous pieces of pork. The roast pork was juicy, perfectly cooked, Overall, it was a delicious and enjoyable meal. The staff were very friendly too! It’s good to support small businesses like this.
The fried chicken wings at this shop are absolutely delicious! They're freshly fried to perfection, with a golden, crispy exterior and flavorful chicken inside—just as good as what you get elsewhere! The owner is also incredibly friendly and attentive to customer needs. The milk tea is made with high-quality ingredients, and the taste and texture are much better than other milk tea shops! Definitely worth a try!!!
I ordered a beef fried noodles today. It tastes good. My son likes it. I will definitely try something else next time.
Would add a photo of the perfectly cooked food, but it was too delicious to have been worried about such nonsense. Employees were super nice and helpful. Lo mein, fried rice, general tso chicken, fried pineapple and beef, all of it was PERFECT! Finally found my spot on the island!
Just grab the pork fried rice real quick I have dropping off a vehicle across the street at the car dealership. This pork fried rice is hot and delicious.!!!!
Im coming out of my way to say this. I ordered General Tso and expected the usual.......wrong! This General Tso actually has a nice kick to it like its supposed to!. I found my new spot!
Really good food dont listen to the bs

Great food and great customer service .
So let me first start off by saying this is my number one go to Chinese restaurant on Staten Island. Me & my family has been enjoying the great food that comes from number one for the past 24 years. The customer service is great as well. This by far is our best spot when it comes to Chinese food. No other place can compare, clean environment & great quality of food. 1B
Been ordering from here since 2000, delivery is great. portion is great. It may not be an authentic Cantonese cuisine style, but if you're on a budget, or don't want to spend too much, this is the go-to place. You get a lot for 5.95 lunch specials. The food tastes good, service is great and the delivery is quick. They've done right by me, and done well to keep my service for over 10 years, closer to 20 now!
Clean nice place with such amazing great tasting food !!! Always on time always polite employees family operated !!! and the dumplings and beef sticks are to die for !!!! Yesss this is the best Chinese food in south beach !!!
Dined in this restaurant and ordered a combination sesame Chicken. The food was great in texture and the rice is perfectly cooked. People there were very nice!
Great drinks! I recommend the Chicken Fried Rice and General Tso's chicken!! The staff was helpful and very friendly.
I see why they are #1 Chinese food. I ordered food last night the garlic and butter dumplings where amazing, along with the sesame seed chicken was delicious. I would definitely come back for the dumplings again! I'll give it 10/10 🔥

I used to be a patron of another Chinese food spot, but their quality has taken a dive. Decided to give No. 1 Kitchen a shot. Just got some takeout from here. Solid overall experience! Will be back for more! Thanks General Tso's Chicken and Fried Pork Dumplings were tasty!

We usually order from another Chinese takeout spot but, earlier in the week we got spoiled food. We thought it was time to try another spot. We ordered our favorite - chicken, and broccoli with chicken/pork fried rice. The food came quickly and was hot. However, this place was cheap in supplying sauce and gave no utensils or napkins. We spent over $75 and most places give free items when you spend over a certain amount. This place doesn't offer any promotions like that. The fried rice was bland almost to the point of being tasteless. I felt like the rice needed a bit more seasoning and salt. The sauce from chicken and broccoli was tasty but, congealed and had very little. The food tasted fresh at least. Not the best experience and I am not sure if we would order again.
The food is gross

Disgusting!!!. I placed an order last night for 2 things the price seemed off so I confirmed if it was the right items. It gets here and something I didn’t ask for which explains why the price was so high !. They gave me two little chickens and then two humongous pieces that tasted like it was infused with something and tasted like coconut I will never order again.
I think this place got a new owner or something it’s horrible! Food is nasty! Service is so bad! They don’t care about the customers they get the order wrong. Food took forever to get delivered and all I ordered was A sesame, chicken and fried shrimp they didn’t even send me the rice on the side. Don’t order from here! ITS HORRIBLE I PROMISE!!!!!! It sucks because this was my son’s favorite Chinese spot I ordered from them for years. But the new owners are horrible!
