No. 1 Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Newark

I want to start by saying I love this place- it’s a family favorite in my house. Today’s experience has gone above and beyond. I am so thankful and appreciative of the service that I was given today. I wasn’t feeling too well today and slacked on ordering dinner for the family. We decided on Chinese at 9pm. Knowing they closed at 9:30pm I gave it a shot and called. They said they would gladly be able to make our meal but asked if we could be there by the time that they close at 9:30. Living only 5 mins down the road I assured them I would be there in time. Little did I know we would get into a car accident. After calling 911, I called to make them aware of the situation. They offered to hang around until 10pm. As we waited for the cop to finish, it was about 5 til, so I called the restaurant to pay over the phone and asked if they could just set the food outside for us because I didn’t want them to have to wait any longer. As we pulled up there at 10:05pm, they were waiting outside for us and immediately asked if we were okay. I apologized and thanked them for checking in and waiting for us. I wanted everyone to know how great they were. Getting back in the car I began to get teary eyed because I couldn’t believe how kind they were and how the first thing they asked is if we were all okay.

They will forever have my business!

Thank you guys again so much for your...

Stopped ordering chinese food on campus due to the food being so much lower quality here than anywhere else. Its like everything is injected with a bunch of sugar - for example, the general chicken is dressed in a thick red goo that taste like glazed chicken.

When it comes to customer service, I received the wrong item the last two times I ordered here. When you call, you literallly can't understand them and they make no attempt to redeem themselves. After the second time, I got fed up and complained about getting the wrong food again. They offered me 10% off next purchase if I just keep the food.

Honestly, I have a hard time believing there is a worse chinese food place out there. Even a cover-up, money laundering restaurant run the triads would have better food.

In conclusion, don't waste your time and money. This city would be better off if this franchise...

If you’re looking for the gold standard of crispy tofu, look no further than No. 1 China. Their tofu is everything you want it to be: perfectly golden on the outside, with a satisfying crunch that gives way to a tender, flavorful center. The sauce clings to each piece just right—bold, savory, and slightly sweet without overpowering the tofu’s natural texture.

What impressed me most is consistency: every bite is crisp, not soggy, and the portions are generous. Paired with fresh broccoli and fluffy rice, it’s a balanced dish that feels both hearty and clean. I’ve had tofu from countless places, but this version stands out as the kind you crave again and again.

No. 1 China proves that tofu and vegan food can be a star on its own. Absolutely worth a visit if you’re a tofu lover—or even if you...
