Overall the food was disappointing at best. I ordered for delivery wanting a break from the holiday dinners and leftovers. I was warmed greeted on the phone, my questions quickly answered and my order placed. The delivery arrived in about 30mins nice and hot! When I opened my order General Tao Chicken and Chicken Lo Mein I was a bit surprised the General Tao sauce wasnt the spicy looking red color i was used to, instead it was a dark brown much sweeter and lacking any other real flavor. The chicken its self ( more batter than chicken ) wasnt the same type of batter that Ive had so many times it was just a bit different and not in a good way. The white rice that I ordered with it was over cooked. The egg roll was nothing more than fried dough absent of anything other than a few pieces of under cooked cabbage. The Lo Mein was so heavy with 5 spice thats all I really tasted, the noodles were over cooked the chicken rubbery and to me more vegetables that I like in a Lo Mein. A disappointing experience one I wont be repeating.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Ive actually enjoyed a dish or 2 from this restaurant however today, when I called to order delivery someone picked up the phone then hung up. I was then compelled to call back, thinking perhaps I had the wrong number. I called a second time and a girl answered and although several co-workers and I have ordered delivery from here on several occasions she tells me "we dont deliver that far." So I assure her that weve ordered there before and theyve delivered here before. She then tells me "Well, the delivery guy wont go back there then." Feeling a bit frustrated and more importantly disrespected I ask to speak to a manager; her reply "They arent here." and immediately hangs up on me. RUDE. DISRESPECTFUL. INCREDIBLY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I will no longer be a patron of this establishment.

The vegetable rice was very blah and not even seasoning could fix the taste. We got orange chicken which looked like something my dog let out in my back yard today! We also got fried shrimp which was decent but not for reasonable price! Vegetable egg rolls??... Nope not available like what kind of Chinese restaurant is this!??! The best thing that came out of that place was the fortune cookies! When you go to pick your order you would think it would be in the bag... Nope its in a vodka box from the neighboring wine and spirits! When you walk in you could just tell that it was dirty/filthy and was need of serious cleanup/remodeling. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY GO NEXT DOOR TO SUBWAY!!

Been going here for years, best Chinese food around. Honestly the people who gave it bad reviews dont even warrant acknowledgement because those people are just used to the uncultured garbage that is Panda Express. Ive been all over the country and the world and have found very few restaurants I enjoy like this one. But yes, be warned it is a family establishment, so if youre used to being waited on by people in aprons thats not how it will be. Its one of those "hole in the wall" restaurants that people who love food rave about because you get great food and great people for cheap prices and you sit around and enjoy.

Best Chinese Food Ever! I have been everywhere: DC, Maryland, NY, Jersey, PA, and live in the DC area. Im a huge Asian food buff. #1 Chinese has the best WonTon Soup, Crab Ragoon, Sesame noodles, etc. Youre gonna love it. I was surprised to find such quality in the strangest of places. #1 Chinese is the kind of place you would travel to a big city to find, but you wont have to put up with the big city attitude. The family is super sweet, the food is out fast, and your order is never messed up. They are one of Lancasters best kept secrets. Cash Only, come prepared to leave happy and full.

I have eaten here about year ago, and was 100% disappointed in the food. It was simply disgusting. However, with my favorite Chinese restaurant closing, I decided to give it another try. I must say they have improved A LOT. The crab ragoons, the General Tso, pork fried rice, egg rolls, and fried dumplings were delicious as well! Only small thing was that the sweet and sour sauce tasted a little off, like it had too much ginger or something. I dont know if management, chefs , or recipes have changed, but whatever it was, it was definitely for the better.

First time going and was very impressed with not only the quality of the food but also the people running the place. You know you are at a good restaurant when you see there have been families who have sent Christmas photos to the workers themselves. Highly recommend. Food, service, and cleanliness all top notch.

Love the food here! Its so reasonably priced (but just keep in mind that it is cash only), the food always hot, and the portions enormous. Everything I have ever ordered has been excellently done. Often, when I order take-out, it only takes 10 minutes till they have it ready and waiting.

Ummm definitely not my favorite food. I got the General Taos chicken.....it wasnt spicy but had a strong lemon flavor after taste...couldnt tell where the broccoli was either because it was mixed in with the sauce and chicken......definitely not my favorite!!!!

Very few shrimp in dish. Egg rolls super small and tasteless. Filled with cabbage and not much more. All 4 meals had mostly vegetables with small amount of meat. Very pricey for what we got Never going there again..

From out of town and used to eating very good Chinese, Japanese, and Korean food at home in Jersey. I wont say disgusting but my family and I were pretty disappointed with the food were received.

I always go here for Chinese food and have never had a problem. I ate here last Wednesday and contracted food poisoning that I am still suffering from. I will NEVER eat here again!

The place could use a good cleaning more often, but if you go just to pickup and take out your food, you can do no better this restaurant that knows how to make a name for itself.

Im amazed at how plump and delicious their rice is. I always get chicken fried rice with wings. Definitely the best Chinese food in Lancaster, maybe even the world.
