I came to a beach town and started craving Chinese food for some odd reason. I stumbled upon Number 1 Chinese and while I wouldn’t call it Number 1 in it is passable. Decent whole in the wall Chinese spot. It smells like almost every Americanized Chinese place I have ever been in, not bad but a little odd. Nothing special on the inside, a handful of table, I recommend taking your order and going. Staff was friendly enough, one guy goofing off on his computer and a lady running the register and the kitchen. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken but I was thinking of Thai food when I did so I didn’t really want it, with that said it was still pretty good. The chicken pieces were breaded nicely and cooked well. Rice was nicely prepared and a excellent addition to the meal. Worth a visit if you’re in town and that Chinese craving hits you but not worth going out of your way to visit.

Great and modest at the same time, this tiny little Chinese restaurant in Bethany has the formula down just right. Decent prices, good location, polite and friendly, and some very nice dishes for take out. Make sure you order early in the summertime, otherwise you may not get through on their phone lines– yes, it’s that popular! I’ve sampled several vegetarian dishes and they have all been nicely prepared. This is not Kowloon or Shanghai, but really good stuff for our touristy little area. I do wish they’d offer brown rice, but you can’t have everything! Credit cards taken… Come hungry!

This place was surprisingly good, looking past the strip mall location. The mooshi chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce dishes were both tasty. If you are looking for quick, no-frills takeout after a long day at the beach, this is your place.

They may be Number 1 for the worst Kung pao chicken I’ve ever had! And the egg roll was dreadful. So much for going with other people’s reviews!

We had vegetable lo mein, vegetable fried rice, and General Tso’s tofu. The lo mein had a complex, smoky flavor and was not overly greasy. Same for the fried rice, it was light and fresh tasting. All of the vegetables were crisp, not a withered pea in the bunch! The General Tso’s tofu was salty and slightly chewy, the sauce was delicious. We were totally surprised by the quality of this meal. $ 17 for more than enough food for two and it was all so good. This place is better than the«supposed» best carry-out in Washington, DC. We will be ordering again, I hope they are consistent!

Good hole in the wall Chinese place. Kung pao chicken was flavorful & there was a lot of it. Egg roll was awesome. Service was fairly quick & friendly.

Good for satisfing a craving — not good enough to be a destination you’d go out of the way to reach. Lots of food for the money! There are very few Chinese places in the area.
