" Every time I eat at No 1 Kitchen, I remember why it's my favorite Chinese takeout in Rock Hill. The bourbon chicken is fantastic and the spring rolls are always crispy. Price-wise, they are very reasonable for the amount you get. The only drawback is that the interior of the restaurant could use some updates, but that doesn't ruin the experience for me. I highly recommend coming here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was let down by my experience here. I had heard great things and went in for some General Tso's Chicken, but it tasted bland and the chicken pieces seemed stale, not fresh at all. Service was fine, but the atmosphere felt a bit drab, making the experience unenjoyable. I hope they can improve because I wanted to love it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Rock Hill for over a decade, I had heard about No 1 Kitchen but never had the chance to try it until recently. I ordered the bourbon chicken, and while the flavor was authentic, I was slightly disappointed with the rice - it wasn't as fluffy as I prefer. The service was quick, but the atmosphere felt a bit cramped during peak hours. Overall, it's decent, and I will likely return to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried a lot of Chinese restaurants, and No 1 Kitchen is a solid option if you’re looking for quick and tasty meals. The sesame chicken is my favorite, crispy with a delightful sauce. Despite its appearance, the takeout has never disappointed me. They're absolutely worth checking out! Just make sure to call ahead during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Order accuracy has been a problem for me lately. Twice I have gotten the wrong items in my order, which has been frustrating. However, the food is still good, and when I do get what I ordered, it's always tasty! I recommend giving it a go, but double-check before you leave to ensure your order is correct. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just amazing! I tried the sesame seed chicken and it was the best I've ever had! The takeout process was smooth, and my family enjoyed their choices too. I wish we could eat inside, but the takeout is just fine for how tasty the food was. Highly recommend watching this hidden gem on the corner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'd like to say I love No 1 Kitchen, but my experiences have varied. Sometimes, their pepper steak is to die for, and other times, it seems bland and unexciting. The staff is generally friendly, but the wait can be lengthy when they're busy. Maybe consistency is what they need — I'll keep trying but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
