Number One Chinese Restaurant

Located near Pape Ave. and Mortimer Ave., walking distance from Pape subway station, Number One Chinese restaurant is a great little local gem serving classic Chinese Cantonese dishes. Featured in the images are: - Pan fried Rice noodle with beef: a Cantonese classic rice noodle dish. Savory and often a favourite across the ages. Main flavour base is soya sauce and not spicy at all. Keep in mind, if you're looking for these on the menu, you'll find them in the 'Cantonese' section and not the noodle section. Solid 4/5 as some might find this dish a bit on the oily side (note: not a fault of Number One. Typically, making this rice noodles requires a certain level of oil to keep them from sticking in the wok). - Fried bean curd with beef: on the menu, this is made with fried bean curd but our family likes it with the regular white tofu. This is what I so appreciate about Number One. They were willing to change the dish to the white tofu. Either way, the dish tastes great, savory and easy to eat but the white tofu just makes it so much smoother and goes so well with steamed rice. 5/5 - Pan fried noodle with chicken and mixed vegetable: this is also a classic Chinese dish, pan fried thin yellow noodles with chicken and mixed vegetable. I appreciate that the dish isn't too salty and is an overall crowd pleaser. Note: some restaurants make these yellow thin noodles crispy fried. Number One makes them pan fried. We like these noodles regardless so it's not a game changer for us. Flavour and taste this dish gets 4/5 What sets Number One apart is their friendly customer service. Happy to visit this restaurant again!

One typical Chinese Choy Suey restaurant, ordered from the Chinese online food app. Got the beef fried rice combo. It just tasted like the items you get from any food court, however, the so call Wonton is technically a deep fried Wonton sheet, no meat or shrimp whatsoever. Learn a lesson from ordering with those pretty pictures, lol

This spot is the last slice of nostalgia left in Toronto. The food reminds me of my childhood. It’s the best chicken balls in the city. Amazing egg rolls, great fried rice and noodles, and the kindest service. I live downtown and I order it delivery because it’s so good. Thank you Number One Chinese team. We really appreciate your service to the community ♥️

This little hidden gem consistly prepares delicious dishes from the cantonese chow mein, chicken to the fried squid with red peppers; the food is always fresh and the service is exceptional. I have been coming here over the years with my family and they always are welcoming and friendly. I am obsessed with their chicken fried rice, try it, the portion sizes will fill you up, you won't be disappointed!

Really good food!! Both people who were serving me were the absolute sweetest! They checked in often if I needed anything. If you do dine in I highly recommend their homemade chilli sauce as well. I got the combo 2 for dine in and a special chop suey to go. Both were amazing 🤩 def my go to spot now🥰
