My fiancé is from the Syracuse area and I'm from Charlotte, NC and we just moved to Manlius in August. The first thing we did was try this place out and we LOVE it. The family that owns and runs this place are so kind and hard working they even know me by name! And they know that my fiancé always asks for extra dry noodles for the wonton soup I don't even have to ask anymore! The food is absolutely delicious we've never had a bad meal from this place. I've tried multiple meals from this restaurant and all have been cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. We've tried a few other places around the area but we always end up getting No1 Kitchen because it's just that good and very affordable. If you're looking for the best Chinese food in the area this is it!! I can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you to everyone who works there for always being kind and all that you do for us in the community!

I would first like to say that I have been ordering from this place since moving back to the area since 2015. it has become one of the favorite Chinese takeout places for my family and we order just about every Christmas day. The last couple of times we ordered online and then went to go pick up was not the worst experience but it could’ve been better. Whether you are ordering for an ASAP pick up or a custom time… You expect your order to be ready at the given time. Now, again, I know that it is Christmas Day, everyone had the same idea and I don’t mind waiting a few extra minutes but… We placed our order before 4 PM for a 5 PM pick up. We get to the place right at 5 PM, but waited a couple of minutes in the car as we saw it was jam packed in there. My kids and I made our way into the restaurant and stood in line waiting for our turn to pick up our food. Once I got to the counter, there was a child (usually is) taking everyone’s payment and asking for their name or last four digits of their phone number, as well as if they called their order in or was it placed online. It took her a while to find my order , but once she found it, she told me it was not ready yet. OK, perfectly fine. Our total for the food was $90 even. I included the tip into the total so it would round up to the $90. We gave her $50 in cash and we told her to put the rest on our card. The little girl tried to tell me that she was going to charge the card $44 and some change because of the tip. I tried to explain to her that the tip was already in there and she tried to argue with me a little bit. I had to literally take out my phone and show my receipt which showed the tax and the tip included and that is when she realize that she needed to only charge my card $40. That was a little annoying. I don’t know if she really didn’t understand at first, was trying to pull a fast one, and how many other people does she charge extra… But whatever. It is my personal opinion that you should not be leaving a child to handle the payments. I go to the back of the restaurant where my kids were at this point and sit at the table waiting for my name to be called. Tons of people are loading in still to pick up their orders. As time goes by I am noticing that people that came behind me were getting their food sooner. Now, I don’t know when they called or placed their online order. I just know that at 5:40 PM I was tired of waiting and I got up to ask how long it was going to take for our order to be done, especially since we placed it at 4 PM for a 5 PM pick up. The mother at that point told me it was going to be another 15 minutes. Are you serious right now?! I am livid because this is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t know if my order just didn’t get done or if they just kept putting it to the side? My kids and I did not walk out of that restaurant with our food until 5:55 PM. It’s unfortunate that we won’t be doing business with them anymore because I don’t pay for terrible service.

Absolutely loved my experience at China Cafe! The flavors were incredibly authentic—felt like a true taste of China right here in town. Prices were very reasonable, offering excellent value for such delicious food. Plus, the service was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place!

I visited this place very randomly. . . Dint even know this place existed. . . I was surprised with the food I had. . . The fried rice tasted the way it taste back in india. . . I walked out of the restaurant with a great satisfaction. . . it really satisfied my taste bud. . . 😇 And it is an affordable place

When it’s cold outside I often think spicy ramen and sushi, maybe that’s just me. Just gave this place a try after being disappointed by a couple other places I’ve tried and I will be returning to Good Time Sushi! The service was warm and welcoming. The atmosphere in the restaurant was delightful and comfortable and the spicy vegetable ramen I had with spicy tuna was just amazing and delicious. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Food was exactly what I was hoping for. Rice was cooked perfectly, sushi was to die for, seriously the best sushi I have had . It was so good we went back right after and placed a second order the firecracker roll was my favorite. If you are a fan of kimchi please try this one! It’s spicy and so perfect!
