" I recently visited No 1 Chef Chinese Food after hearing so much about it, and I can honestly say it lives up to the hype! The beef and broccoli was simply outstanding – tender meat and perfectly cooked broccoli in a savory sauce that wasn't overly sweet. The atmosphere felt cozy and inviting, although it was a bit cramped. The service was attentive, and I didn't have to wait long for my food. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic meal here! The flavors reminded me of the dishes my grandmother used to make. Really authentic taste! Their dumplings were fresh and perfectly cooked. I was also impressed with how clean the establishment was. The only drawback was the limited seating. It was pretty packed when we went, and we had to wait a bit, but it was worth it for the food! Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Chinese flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Chinese flavors, you have to try No 1 Chef! I was impressed by the wide selection, and everything is cooked fresh to order. The restaurant may not be the most luxurious, but that’s part of its charm. The wonton soup was rich and satisfying, perfect for a chilly evening. The prices are reasonable considering the taste. I left with a full belly and a happy heart. I’ll be back soon to explore more options on their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" No 1 Chef is one of my go-to spots for takeout. The orange chicken is a family favorite, and the flavors take me back to my time spent in China. Everything is cooked with noticeable care and attention to detail. Although the seating arrangement is quite limited, the service is fast and friendly. Their fried rice is a must-try! Even though I experience smaller portions, I always leave satisfied. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The food is authentic and flavorsome, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. We ordered multiple dishes for a family gathering, and everyone was impressed. The service was fast, even with a busy crowd. The only downside is the limited seating area, but it’s worth the wait. If you love Chinese food, this restaurant should definitely be on your radar!

" My visit to No 1 Chef was a mixed bag. While I can't fault the flavors, which were undoubtedly authentic and satisfying, the portion sizes felt somewhat lacking compared to similar places I've visited. The sizzling rice was delightful, with an impeccable crunch, but there were just not enough shrimp to go around. To top it off, despite the busy environment, the service was surprisingly quick and attentive. I’d certainly recommend it to anyone in the area looking for tasty Chinese food, but be prepared for slightly smaller portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm not particularly picky when it comes to Chinese food, but I was disappointed with my experience at No 1 Chef. While the food was decent, it lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for, and I found the service to be a bit slow. The seating was cramped, which didn’t help. I might consider trying it again, but there are other places I've enjoyed more. " (*Curated Review*)
