I got the chicken and shrimp with cashew nuts combination platter and it was pretty good. I ordered through DoorDash and it was surprisingly still hot

Beef peppersteak is inedible breaded slop, literally not even made of steak. Chewy and disgusting, sticky gristle. Called the store back within 2 minutes of trying it, asked if I could simply trade it in for something else since 1) it isn’t steak 2) it isn’t good, and 3) I didn’t eat it.
Got transferred to management who were rude and dismissive..
I usually get the sweet and sour chicken, which is consistently excellent. The family that runs the business seems sweet. Sorry to say I will never go back.

Ive been buying food here for years as i used to work close by, even when i was not working i would go here. Havent been there in a while so a couple of weeks ago i ordered a chicken lo mein combo which was my favorite, when i went to pick it up i noticed new people/cooks working there, for my surprise the pork fried rice that i ordered with it was completely bland,pale & no flavor at all, they used to put vegetables in it and there was none. Just a few pieces of pork, no onions or vegetables, it was really bad i couldnt eat it. The chicken lo mein was overcooked but the flavor was ok. Today i tried again and i ordered pork fried rice and sesame chicken, NEVER AGAIN. Same bland flavorless pork fried rice very dry, the sesame chicken was soooo overcooked it was so hard to eat, they fried it too much. I trew it in the trash. Terrible not buying food here ever again.

This restaurant is very tasty. I’ve tried several Chinese restaurants in the Rochester area and this is my favorite. Their food is savory and flavorful. The quantities are nice, the cost is not too high, and the environment in the restaurant is very warm and friendly.

New Number One Chinese Restaurant – Full Review
1540 W Ridge Rd, Rochester, NY 14615
Boss Fights and Bites Review Series
First Impressions:
The moment you walk in, you’re hit with that classic takeout aroma – soy, garlic, sesame oil – you already know it’s about to go down. The spot has that old-school Chinese takeout vibe: simple, clean, and focused on flavor, not flash.

What I Ordered:
General Tso’s Chicken
Shrimp Lo Mein
Crab Rangoons
Egg Roll
Steamed Dumplings
—
General Tso’s Chicken:
Sweet, spicy, and crispy – exactly how it should be. The sauce had a good kick without overpowering the flavor. Chicken was tender inside with that golden crunch. Easily one of the best in the area.
Shrimp Lo Mein:
Noodles were cooked just right – not too greasy, not too dry. Shrimp was fresh and had good bite. Could use a little more garlic or soy for depth, but still solid.
Crab Rangoons:
Creamy, crunchy, and packed with flavor. These were a hit. You get that satisfying crunch with the creamy crab filling – not overly sweet like some spots do.
Steamed Dumplings:
Soft and juicy with a flavorful pork filling. Dipping sauce was on point. Not doughy, just right.
Egg Roll:
Golden and crispy with a nice balance of cabbage and pork inside. Great with the duck sauce.

It’s one of the better Chinese food places in Rochester. I’ve ordered from here about 4 times and never had any problems. The fried chicken is REALLY GOOD!!!!! I’ll order more next time for sure. The hot and sour soup was great also. The lo mein was okay….

It’s so disheartening to say that this restaurant has gone completely DOWN HILL. The food is absolutely DISGUSTING now , none of the same cooks who have been there for years are here anymore! I ordered chicken and broccoli, my usual; and I’ve noticed the last few times the sauce has been getting darker. Today, it tasted like it was made in BBQ sauce !!! The lomein noodles were mushy, tasteless and given in a very small portion. ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!! The NEW STAFF continues to get my orders wrong as well. I have been ordering from here for YEARS, sad to say that today was my families LAST. We will have to find someplace else, hopefully closer to where we live; seeing how we drove over 30mins just for this place because it USED to be the best in town.
P.S. We were starving tonight, to drive 30mins and not even be able to eat this food in it’s entirety because of it being cooked improperly. Now, I have to wait till Tuesday to return the food and be refunded. (nice how I have to waste my gas to be refunded for their error huh)?

I 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 it’s 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 it’s GOOD!

Pork lo mein (all I ordered) was sticky & had no flavor. Took almost all of the food home and thought it might taste better with more seasonings like garlic powder and salt & pepper. That didn’t help at all. I gave it to my husband who usually likes things I don’t, and even he didn’t like it.

Me and my co-workers at Strong Memorial Hospital love this place a lot. We usually order large beef fried fries with eggs. Plus, I always like their dinner special menu of General Tso chicken with a side of Beef on a stick, or chicken nuggets because I’m Loving It hahaha and Food Always Taste Fresh.. there were 5 pieces of nuggets. I ate 2 of them before I took the pics.. The taste overall is great and amazing.. This family and friend Business is great.. They have a Great Team Work to Cook all of these food for there Customers..Very hard workers from the person picking up the telephone line to makes orders, too the chefs back in that small kitchen preparing washing the Chicken, beef and pork and Rice . And almost everyone there is A Chef Cooking the Food.. That is a Amazing Team Work.. Sorry this is getting long.. There Food is the Great and Tasty.. No complaints,
