" No 1 Chef has become a staple for my family and me! We enjoy their variety of dishes, and the food is always prepared fresh. I personally love their honey walnut shrimp. Although sometimes it can be a bit on the pricier side for what you get, the freshness of the ingredients makes it worthwhile. The seating can be cramped at times, but the food definitely compensates for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited No 1 Chef for lunch, and it was a delightful experience! The meal was fresh, and the flavors spoke authenticity. I'd recommend the house special chow mein – it was hearty and satisfying. Though the seating was limited, we managed to find a small table. Service was quick, which was perfect for a lunch break. Will definitely be coming back soon. Kudos to the hard-working staff! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is incredible! My friends and I ordered a variety of dishes, and each one was bursting with flavor. The restaurant may not offer the most lavish atmosphere, but it’s the food that makes it shine. I recommend trying the sesame chicken—it was a standout for me. The portions are decent but not overly generous. I enjoyed my dining experience and would definitely come again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Aside from its quaint and modest look, No 1 Chef packs a punch with its authentic Chinese dishes. I savored their dumplings and fried rice, both of which held true to the flavors you would find in a typical Chinese kitchen. The only critique I can offer is that it can get a bit loud when it’s busy, making conversation hard. But don’t let that deter you from experiencing what they have to offer—it’s truly worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" No 1 Chef Chinese Food is a diamond in the rough! I was skeptical at first, but once I tried the sweet and sour chicken, I was convinced. Each bite had a balance of sweetness and acidity that was spot on. The service can be a bit hit or miss depending on how busy they are, but overall it has been a positive experience. The restaurant's small size means it can get crowded, but the food definitely makes it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
