No. 1 China Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Jackson

After recently moving to Thomasville and exploring the limited restaurant options in the area, I decided to try out No 1 China restaurant in Jackson during a trip back from Mobile. With a promising 4.5-star rating and being conveniently located just 25 minutes from my house, my expectations were high.

Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed that it was bustling with activity, indicating its popularity. The food was served piping hot, and the overall cleanliness of the place was commendable, although the decor seemed a bit outdated.

As a connoisseur of Chinese cuisine with experiences from various regions like the California coast, the northwest, and the East Coast, I have encountered a wide range of Chinese food styles. The dishes at No 1 China, while decent, did not quite meet the expectations set by the high rating. For example, the Kung Pao chicken, which I have enjoyed in different styles before, was deep-fried at this restaurant, which may be a stylistic choice but was different from what I expected.

The whole area they are in is like that.if you are sensitive to msg do not eat there or make sure and order off menu and tell...

Good food, and friendly staff. But the buffet never changes. It could offer a lot more, many don't know but you have to ask for the steamed white rice ? They have a menu, things from the menu could be on the buffet. Interior design very old and out dated. Other than fast food, there is basically only one other restaurant in town. So with the captive audience, it can afford to improve. Instead it is much like the rest of the town .... never changing until it's gone. ... MODERNIZE, and update your buffet and decor. Add more variety. So you are not just the only 1, but actually #1. The...
