    Small place with poor ambience. Food was generally average. Good sized portions for decently cheap prices. I probably wouldn't eat there again, but it wasn't bad if you want some decent cheap chinese. The place could definitely use a renovation.

    Do you enjoy a smorgasbord of food that, despite having vastly different ingredients, somehow manages to come out the same boring shade of beige? Do you crave a level of grease that is rivaled only by that found in a deep fat fryer (which, coincidentally, I am pretty sure is their most treasured piece of culinary equipment)? Do you have a masochistic personality that loves being treated as a complete and utter incovenience, at best, by the woman at the counter? Then I have JUST the place for you! I stopped in here absolutely STARVING one day. I ordered the sesame chicken and the potstickers. I feel like these are almost impossible to mess up. I have had these dishes at Panda Express and they were good. I have had them from the Co-op, cooked by people with little to no experience with Asian cooking - good. Hell, I've even had them in so called tv dinner form - good. No. 1 New China? Awful....in every sense of the word. Trashtastic .... and not in a good way. I did eat it. And I hated myself for it. I felt as I imagine the 16 year old who runs the fryer at McD's feels. I felt like I could literally sense the grease oozing out of my pores. They couldn't breathe... it was a crisis. At one point I couldn't tell if the grease around my mouth was excess from the food itself rubbing across my lips, or if my face was literally rejecting it as I ingested it. I think it was a little bit of both. That being said, the young man at the counter was extremely personable. The woman...well, best I can say, is bored and slightly aggressive. I had to mentally run through my morning to make sure I hadn't stopped off on my way to work to poop in her morning cereal and perhaps that is why she was so irritated by my existence. I'm pretty sure I didn't. Pretty sure.

    So, so greasy. Didn't taste or have texture that Chinese fried foods traditionally have.

    A very strange strip mall, not hard to get to yet seems like it's off the beaten path. New friend Victor M. highly rated it, and it got my attention, since I wasn't going to bother. I put my order in, I was lured by a lunch special of beef lo mein, egg roll, and pork fried rice. Add delicious cream cheese wontons and it came to about ten bucks. While I waited I briefly looked around a thrift store. When I got back it was in the bag. These guys are fast. I like how you can eat in if you want, a good amount of room. I love how it's diagonal to Chin Chin. It reminds me of Philadelphia on the corner where the 2 philly steak places are on the opposite corners. It wouldn't surprise me if they're related.

    I have been going to No1 New China now for a long time. the food has amazing flavor and the staff is very friendly. I always get the house fried rice. It does not have peas in it and no other fillers such as broccoli. The cream cheese wongtons are amazing. This place is a must go to. I would recommend calling in your order then picking it up. they provide delivery for free if you buy $15 worth of stuff. This is a must try. It so far is one of the best in saint paul.

    3 Stars for value price but the food was just ok. The steamed dumplings were lacking flavor. I had a combo platter with lo mein and rice. Average lo mein but the rice underneath had way to much sauce. Overall I would try something else next time but Id still go back.

    Very bland-ordered wings (hard as rocks), and the lemon chicken was cold and the skin was falling off-money wasted-gross!!

    We just ordered takeout from here. There was a slight misunderstanding over the phone about the quantity we ordered. The guy on the phone was EXTREMELY nice about it and we both had a laugh... he corrected it right away. They estimated it would arrive within 30-45 minutes. It was here way sooner (score!). The delivery guy was also extremely nice. This place most definitely gets five stars for customer service. We ordered a ton of food (we wanted leftovers to nibble on) and the only thing we found blah was the wonton soup. The dumplings were excessively thick and the broth had an off flavor to both of us. But the soup was only $1.60 so it was worth the adventure, regardless. The vegetable egg foo young is awesome--the sauce is very rich and pulls together all the flavors in the patty. The pork fried rice had a lot of good flavors going on. The cream cheese wontons, fried meat wontons and steamed potstickers were all delicious (and surprisingly not overly greasy like most places). The chicken lo-mein had a good flavor. Everything tasted really fresh and came to us super hot. The chicken kung pao was ACTUALLY a touch spicy. Finally. How much did this ungodly amount of food come to, you ask? Thirty six bucks. I'd do the worm if I weren't so full. I... I think I'm in love.

    This little Chinese joint deserves a 5-star review. As a Chinese native, I can definitely say this place is the closest to one of those homey, mom-and-pop kind of Chinese restaurants you'd find in China. The owners can speak Chinese and are very friendly for a chat. They are very patient in answering any questions you may have about their food or if you want any recommendations. Most of all, if you want something specific that's a modification of an existing menu item or something that's not on the menu at all (i.e., an authentic dish), they'd be willing to make it happen, even if they would need to obtain the ingredients! How cool is that?! We have ordered from them numerous times now and every time the food has been fantastic! We have tried many things and they all tasted fresh and very flavorful. If we have to make suggestions, we would say try their Thai dishes (Red Curry Chicken, Thai Basil Beef, Pad Thai, in that order), Diced Chicken with Hot Pepper and General Tso's Chicken. All are amazing! Yes, their store front may not be very impressive but it's nice that they have an open kitchen, which is something you would rarely find at a Chinese restaurant. Their delivery is pretty quick too. All in all you can't really go wrong with No. 1 New China!

    Have to update my review of this place. After switching owners I didn't care for the food at all. I stopped going there for a few months. Well I had a craving one night and tried it one more time. The food was fantastic. I now have tried several different dishes and all were very good. What ever changed, keep up the good work as this is now my go to place for takeout Chinese, once again!!!!

    Delivery was prompt. Spring rolls were good. The Beef was squishy and the Chicken was undercooked. tried the ribs based on other reviews and they were dried out like they had been sitting under the heatlamp since lunch. Much of it went into the trash, which i guess is why you are hungry after eating Chinese food.

    Just finished a meal for 6. Service was good and food was ready when I arrived for pickup as promised. While food was prepared well with fresh ingredients it was short of flavor.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
