Welcome to Number One

“ I was in town on a snowshoeing trip and came here every night since I wanted a hearty vegetarian meal that wouldn’t break the bank. Of the 4 main dishes I tried, I enjoyed the veggie Ho Fun and Egg Foo Yung the most. Staff is very friendly and the orders came out quickly when I called ahead. Portions are also generous on the main dishes; I needed it after burning 3,000 calories a day hiking. ”

“ I love ordering from this restaurant! The food is always on point and the employees are very friendly! I have never had a problem with their food or ordering which you can do via phone call or walk in. For those who are new to the restaurant, they don't except checks. They do however except card and cash. ”

“ Great food! Great price! Had 3 people with me and we all loved it. One was local but haad never been there but will going now routinely. The lady at the counter was a fantastic. Super fun personality. ”

“ Great food and friendly staff. It's so convenient to have meals ready in 10 minutes or so, and be able to park right out front for pickup. Thanks for your great service! ”

“ No. 1 Chinese Restaurant is our favorite local takeout place when we are to busy to cook. The choices are many, but we have our favorites. Everything is consistently fresh and tasty. The owner is energetic and super friendly. Give it a try and then you'll know why we keep coming back. Enjoy ”

“ I highly recommend the sweet and sour chicken; got a pint with white rice. They are very generous and it's delicious! I like the smaller pieces of chicken . Very fast, friendly ,and affordable! I'll be back! ”

“ Okay, so you want Chinese food, you want it now, and you want it dependably made. Go here. It's pretty much all takeout now, but get hold of their menu (online or at the restaurant) and bookmark or hang it on your fridge for those nights (or days) you have a hankering for some good, reasonably-priced food. Oh, and a generous selection too. The owner will take your order, and be there to hand it to you and finish the transaction. She might not look like very much, but she's got the energy of three people, and loves a good joke. I've been going there for years, and will often compare other places to Number One's offerings and abilities. Other places might occasionally compare, but usually fall a bit short. Of the three Asian houses in Saranac Lake, this one's the best. Park on the street, or across the street in the small corner lot, and either way mind the traffic. You'll want to to make it home safely for a really good meal. ”

“ Beef lo mein, fried rice and dumplings. My 4 y/o said it was the best meal he ever tried! ”
