Ate here for the first time and honestly the food was GREAT! My husband and I asked for food recommendations around town and I was craving Chinese or Thai. We heard of this spot near by was ok and nothing else was cheap enough with good quality so we tried A1 and THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The chicken was juicy and soft, the veggies were still crispy and fresh, the sauce was perfectly seasoned and the noodles were perfect texture! This place was NOT OK it's DELICIOUS 😋! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR GREAT FOOD FOR GREAT PRICES!

This place is absolutely disgusting!! They do not care about how they're preparing your food!! Please do not ever buy from this place the food is oily no flavor and taste like chemical food products!! Protect yourself! Go somewhere else or pay a little more your life may depend on it!! Poor customer service as well I waited over an hour for my food and when it arrived, I tried eating it and threw the entire order in the garbage!! I feel sick!! Let's just stop eating this type of Chinese food! go to an authentic place instead

I was going to order from Imperial Wok on Howard Ave but their prices are expensive as a walk in. I’m stationed at work and can’t leave and so I needed delivery. I wanted something quick but cheaper… not cheap, quick and nasty 🤦🏽‍♀️ Don’t ever improvise price over quality… Sad mistake!! $2-3 and location of restaurant make a huge difference. The food came extremely quick and I paid the same price for food I could I could have picked up and it was horrible and I tipped the driver There is no flavor. There aren’t even any carrots and there is no gravy sauce JUST OIL!!! see photos. I am completely dissatisfied and I rarely eat Chinese food and because of this location it will be a long time again before I do. I’ll go to Imperial Wok and pay the extra money.

The food there is very delicious 😋 😍. Oh my, I ordered 2 general tossed chicken 🐔 😋 . It was so delicious and the service was great. The lady was super, super nice . And the young gentleman was very kind.

★★★★★ 5.0 TheCorona Patron · Jul 2025

The service was great. The individuals were kind, the environment was very clean and the food seemed fresh, all of it was hot and freshly cooked. The location is unfortunately in an urban area where there’s heavy criminal activity but nevertheless, criminals have to eat too lol. I’d definitely go again and the prices are not excessive; very reasonable.
