New Number One Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in City of Rochester

🧧 New Number One Chinese Restaurant – Full Review 🍜 📍 1540 W Ridge Rd, Rochester, NY 14615 🎮 Boss Fights and Bites Review Series

🔥 First Impressions: The moment you walk in, you’re hit with that classic takeout aroma – soy, garlic, sesame oil – you already know it's about to go down. The spot has that old-school Chinese takeout vibe: simple, clean, and focused on flavor, not flash.

🥡 What I Ordered:

General Tso’s Chicken

Shrimp Lo Mein

Crab Rangoons

Egg Roll

Steamed Dumplings

🍗 General Tso’s Chicken: Sweet, spicy, and crispy – exactly how it should be. The sauce had a good kick without overpowering the flavor. Chicken was tender inside with that golden crunch. Easily one of the best in the area. 🔥

🍤 Shrimp Lo Mein: Noodles were cooked just right – not too greasy, not too dry. Shrimp was fresh and had good bite. Could use a little more garlic or soy for depth, but still solid.

🦀 Crab Rangoons: Creamy, crunchy, and packed with flavor. These were a hit. You get that satisfying crunch with the creamy crab filling – not overly sweet like some spots do.

🥟 Steamed Dumplings: Soft and juicy with a flavorful pork filling. Dipping sauce was on point. Not doughy, just right.

🥢 Egg Roll: Golden and crispy with a nice balance of cabbage and pork inside. Great with the duck sauce.

👍 Pros: ✅ Big portions, great value ✅ Fast service ✅ Hits all the nostalgic Chinese takeout cravings ✅ Clean and well-packaged

👎 Cons: ⚠️ Lo mein could use a little more flavor ⚠️ Limited seating (best for takeout)

🎮 Final Verdict (8.9/10): New Number One Chinese Restaurant is bringing the heat. Classic Chinese-American dishes done right. If you’re craving comfort food that hits every time, this place delivers – literally and figuratively. Perfect for a late-night boss fight meal or chilling after a long grind.

Me and my co-workers at Strong Memorial Hospital love this place a lot. We usually order large beef fried fries with eggs. Plus, I always like their dinner special menu of General Tso chicken with a side of Beef on a stick, or chicken nuggets because I'm Loving It hahaha and Food Always Taste Fresh.. there were 5 pieces of nuggets. I ate 2 of them before I took the pics.. The taste overall is great and amazing.. This family and friend Business is great.. They have a Great Team Work to Cook all of these food for there Customers..Very hard workers from the person picking up the telephone line to makes orders, too the chefs back in that small kitchen preparing washing the Chicken, beef and pork and Rice . And almost everyone there is A Chef Cooking the Food.. That is a Amazing Team Work.. Sorry this is getting long.. There Food is the Great and Tasty.....

I've been ordering here for a while. At work we often times place large orders. However, I will never order here again. Today the person who cashed me out and the delivery driver were smoking in the back of the restaurant as I was out front eating my lunch. I use the term "back" loosely they were about 10 feet from the "dining room". The smell permeated the building, and when I confronted them the worker told me "it is what it is, man". No accountability, no apology - nothing. Not only was there smoking going on in the restaurant, but they were smoking right next to open uncooked food. So if you like that sort of thing - go for it. If you find it repulsive that there is cigarette smoke by your food then...
