Number 1 Taste Chinese Food Watertown

No. 1 Taste in Watertown has been me and my mom’s go-to Chinese restaurant for years, and somehow it seems to get better every time we visit. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious—exactly what you want from a neighborhood favorite. What really makes this place special, though, is the warm hospitality. The woman who runs the restaurant always greets us with a smile and makes everyone feel genuinely welcome. It has that rare combination of great food and a personal, friendly atmosphere that keeps you coming back. If you're looking for reliable, tasty Chinese food in Watertown, this spot is a true local gem.

5 star experience at Number 1 Taste. I continue getting pork dumpling content in my TikTok feed, where I was ready to drive to Chinatown to go on a dumpling tour. I read a positive review for Number 1 Taste that their dumplings were delicious, where I decided to stay local. They were absolutely right! Maybe the best fried peking ravioli pork dumplings I have ever had. Fresh, great size, and mouthwatering. Also a very clean restaurant, and friendly staff. Looking forward to my next dumpling craving, and also trying more options on their menu.

I wanted to like the food. But the soup was too watery (egg drop soup), and there was too much cinnamon in the egg rolls. But the staff was super nice and I like to think it was made with love! The lo mein wasn’t too bad. Little dry. I see great potential here.

Standard Americanized Chinese takeout... So the 4 stars are strictly with that context. If you like American Chinese food.... Check it out. Quick service. Hearty portions. Very affordable. Very very oily food... Like dripping in it. They do have a "healthy and simple" option on their menu though. I liked the hot and sour soup. Noodles were soft and fluffy.

More food than we expected and at a good price. Nice and hot, tasted fresh. It was enough for two meals. Plenty of options. Take out only, but that worked for us. Travels well also. Nice staff. Kids liked that they could peek through the door to the kitchen to watch the food prepared.
