No 1 Chef Chinese Food — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I order from No. 1 Chef often via Postmates. Something went wrong this time (not their fault, their computers were down), so my hubby and I took a quick trip to pick up our order. The lady was SOOOO nice and helpful over the phone. With that said, the food here is top notch! When I need comfort food, I get the egg flower soup and dumplings. The soup is ALWAYS hot and fresh and just feels like a hug. I've also ordered the egg fu yun, and trust this place is NOT stingy on the portions. Everything I've had has never disappointed. Yes, it may look like a hole in the wall, but if you want the kind of Chinese food that satisfies, give this...

Food tastes good but the portions are much smaller than other chinese take out joints. I got 3 pieces of meat & a whole bunch of veggies plus 1 scoop of rice. Normally when I buy chinese food lunch-combos, I can't even finish it in one seating. Not enough sitting chairs/tables either, i counted two only. Rest of the space was just empty; I guess they don't want us sitting down. 2 stars for the quick service, we won't be...

most people would probably label No. 1 Chef as a hole in the wall but I would rather label them as a hidden gem 💎. Been eating here for about 5 years now and it’s still exquisite every single time. I really enjoy the authenticity and proper quality of their dishes. Thank you No. 1 Chef for always keeping your food fresh...
