About Chinese #1 Kitchen

Chinese #1 Kitchen is a Chinese restaurant located at 5833 S Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL 60629, primarily offering takeout and delivery services. They can be contacted at (773) 476-8004 or +1 773-476-8004.

Customers consistently praise the restaurant for its generous portions, often filling plates "past the brim." One reviewer even claimed it to be the "best Chinese food I have ever had." However, it is noted that the dine-in environment is not particularly welcoming, making takeout the preferred option.

One customer shared their experience with the pork fried rice, describing a unique flavor that they attributed to the pork marinade. While they found the flavor to be "overwhelming," they did not consider it unpleasant. They also tried two smoothies: a coconut smoothie, which they found good despite being "water based," and a strawberry smoothie, which they felt was too "watery sugar" and needed more strawberries.

It was also mentioned that a person was seen asking for money near the entrance, and the reviewer only had a card. This detail may indicate issues with the surrounding environment, that may impact the customer experience.

In summary, Chinese #1 Kitchen is recognized for its large portions and flavorful food, particularly for takeout. The restaurant also offers smoothies, although customer feedback on these items is mixed. Potential customers should be aware that the dine-in experience may not be ideal and that there were reports about people asking for money outside of the establishment.

Best Chinese Food I have ever had! I would recommend take out since it isn't very welcoming to dine in. They always fill the plates up past the brim!

My first experience here was take out I had a small pork fried rice a ordered 2 smoothies, the fried rice had a flavor to it I couldn't explain, it wasnt a bad flavor I think it was probably the marinade of the pork it was very overwhelming but it wasn't bad tasting. My favorite smoothie was the coconut it seems water based but good, and a strawberry smoothie that needed a bit more strawberries, it was a bit on the watery sugar side add more strawberries! We came across a lady opening the door and asking everyone for money I only had card.

I haven't been here in 2 years. I was a little skeptical about it at first, but to be honest, I'm glad I stopped! I ordered a sm beef fried rice x-tra spicy and an order (2) of egg rolls. As you can see from the picture, one of the egg rolls didn't make it! Oh my goodness, it was delicious! I have enough leftovers for tomorrow, too. I ended up spending somewhere between $10-$15.

DO NOT COME HERE!!!! There’s a lot of roaches here. Seen one crawling on the wall like nothing after I ordered. Then I started looking around and found this INSIDE the KITCHEN!!!!! INSIDE THE KITCHEN!!!!!! All those dead roaches makes u wonder if you’re eating one!!!!! They have roach traps and all out there like nothing. Restaurant should be CLOSED till they fix that issue. Definitely taking this up to the city. Food that YOU eat and there’s ROACHES!!! Not even in my house!🤢🤢
