Although the food is flavorful, my only feedback is to make sure all of the shrimp is deveined. I inspect all of my shrimp before eating and have to devein them myself. I even take the shrimp out of the egg roll and devein them. Theres absolutely NOTHING pleasant about eating cooked shrimp feces....even though its cooked at high temp. Please take this into consideration.
I absolutely love this place and have for a while. I ordered Kung Po Chicken and didn’t know they had peanuts on it and I’m highly allergic and they let me come in and take the food back and made me brand new food! They were really nice about it as well! definitely a 5 star for me.
Come on New Number One. Our office has been ordering take out for years. Always great food. Today we ordered a large take out for our office of more than 40 people and the food was horrible!! Most of us ended up barely eating our lunch and threw out most of it. Will not be a returning customer.
Ive been ordering here for a while. At work we often times place large orders. However, I will never order here again. Today the person who cashed me out and the delivery driver were smoking in the back of the restaurant as I was out front eating my lunch. I use the term back loosely they were about 10 feet from the dining room. The smell permeated the building, and when I confronted them the worker told me it is what it is, man. No accountability, no apology - nothing. Not only was there smoking going on in the restaurant, but they were smoking right next to open uncooked food. So if you like that sort of thing - go for it. If you find it repulsive that there is cigarette smoke by your food then dont eat here.
Ive eaten from many different Chinese restaurants in Rochester, but this one definitely has the best food. Their customer service is horrible, but whatever... its takeout. They deliver pretty fast as well. If you want good food and fast delivery, order from New Number One... if youre not easily offended by rudeness over the phone.
Honestly being Asian American I do not tend to like Chinese American food but this is by far best Ive had in the city. I wouldnt say I like the crab rangoon here much too sweet and whipped texture but I have fell in love with almost everything else Ive tried. Food always seems fresh not soggy, old, or dry. I will continue to use this restuarant as my go to Chinese food place until a major mess up occurs.
The portion sizes are huge (I payed 9.99 for a sesame chicken for one person). Also, this is literally the greatest sesame chicken Ive ever had. I eat Chinese all the time, and there is nothing better than this right here. Its so good that I had to go online to review it, because its that freaking good.
PLEASE DONT ORDER FROM HERE, especially if you’re paying over the phone with a card. I had been a patron for them for years but recently I noticed the staff is different and the food wasn’t as good. To top it all off, one of their employees stole my card information and made multiple purchases!!!
I usually order from this place at least twice a month. Whenever I order the person who takes the orders gives different prices every time. One time $16.01, second $17.01, and recently, $17.66. It doesnt make sense... inflation? I dont make much money so I cant afford these price changes every time. Also they say on their website, they say there is free delivery, but they always charge $2.00. I called them and they said we charge $2.00 on every order, and I only live 0.7 miles away from them.
Small place,lil run down and when I was there, not very clean. Food was average with average prices. Had delivery 3 times and went the last time to pickup my food and well, I will not order from there again. Delivery boy was cooking my food until hes screwed up. Anyway General Tso chicken turned into General Too Over Cooked and no where near taste wise to actual flavor of GenTso. Would say more but I really dont want to spend another minute on or in the place. SORRY, not trying to be mean, just honest.
In my opinion, best chinese food in Rochester. People keep complaining it takes an hour to deliver, I have no idea since I always pick up and its always ready in ~20 minutes. Everyone at the register and answering the phone speaks English very well.I always to their online ordering because I can see the entire menu, find any specials, be clear with what I want, and you get a 10% discount. That makes this not only the best food but also the most economical.
The food was fast n hot and the condiments were set out so u didnt have to ask for extra sauce or napkins and the side that comes with it which is usually just an eggroll had alot of options such as beef on a stick chicken teriyaki ect. I love this place definitely going here again!!
I order here regularly and never had a problem unlike some others who say the customer service is bad. There are only 2 tables in this small restaurant, so if your trying to bring your family this might not be good for you, there also is no public bathroom use. This place is located at a fork in the road north of Westfall Rd and E Henrietta.
From eating at a lot of different restaurants around Rochester this by far is THE BEST Chinese food in the county...theyre a young new addition to Rochester they still ironing out kinks but me and my friends have ordered 5 times all with in an hour and being a chef their cooks are spot on money with they way they cook their food good job folks keep up the good food

2022-03-17I ordered General T. Chicken & pork fried rice. I come from down state NY, closer to the city and let me tell you! Me and my friend just ordered from them and the portions are nice and big. I will say its a little more expensive(why i gave 4 stars) than the chino spots in the city, but you def get what you pay for. ❤Update- and its GOOD!

2022-01-23Normally I shy away from joints with generic names like Number One or King Win. New Number One though has simply amazing food! When you order online and leave custom requests like extra spicy or no extra vegetables, thats EXACTLY what you get!!Great taste, great service- cant be beat!

2022-02-12Had good ratings so I figured I would give it a try, and of course I ordered my food to get a call saying that they can’t deliver because they don’t have a driver. Well then maybe figure that out and make it a non option on your website or something. Because this was just such a huge inconvenience and a complete waste of my time. I will never order through beyond menu again or from this restaurant.

2022-03-04I am one of the many nurses at Strong Hospital. We order from new number one multiple times a month. We absolutely love the food, and in the rare case that something is missing or made wrong they rectify it immediately.
