" What I loved about No 1 Kitchen is the authenticity of their dishes. Coming from a city with a rich diversity in Chinese cuisine, I was pleased to find something that felt familiar. The crab rangoons and sweet and sour chicken hit the spot! The only reason I gave it a slightly lower rating is that the wait time was longer than expected during peak dinner hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently moved here and was really looking for a great Chinese restaurant. I decided to try No. 1 Kitchen and ordered the pepper steak and spring rolls. The steak was tender and seasoned well, while the spring rolls were crispy and flavorful. I've had better visuals in the dining area, but it didn't take away from the incredible food. Overall, I'm happy I found this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading rave reviews online, I was excited to try No 1 Kitchen. I placed an order for shrimp fried rice with additional veggies and was pleased with the generous portion size. However, the rice had an oddly orange tint and lacked flavor, which disappointed me. The staff were friendly, but there was a significant wait for my order despite not being too busy. I may give them another chance down the line, but for now, I'm not convinced. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've loved No 1 Kitchen for years! They have the best egg rolls in Rock Hill, and their sweet and sour chicken is always on point. My family orders from this spot regularly and we’ve never had a bad meal. The pricing is very reasonable considering the quality and service, which has greatly improved. Keep up the good work! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to order from No 1 Kitchen for a family dinner, and it was a hit! The kung pao chicken and egg rolls were standout dishes, bursting with flavor and freshness. I loved how quickly the food was prepared and the reasonable prices they offered. The only downside was that we had to eat in the car since it was too crowded inside! If you're looking for good Chinese food, this should be your go-to place. " (*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*)
