Reviews for Original Number 1 Chinese Kitchen in Bloomfield, NJ

After patronizing the restaurant for over 35 years highly disappointed with the manager treatment on how he resolved issue... pertaining to my order. He will not get my business again. Very unprofessional. Three times in a row they made errors in my pickup orders resulting in me having to drive back to received the correct order. The quality of food do not taste as good fromyears ago. Read more

MAGGOT IN MY FOOD! (Long story short) This isn't the first incident. Ive had food from this place with a piece of silver metal... brillo sponge piece in my food before.. I let it slide but now a maggot is absurd. I was eating right outside the establishment,right away I started puking in the parking lot. I entered, informed employees of the incident with the food and the asian cookemployee came from the back and said, ?its fresh broccoli and was giggling? apparently his name is Tommy and he?s the manager.Im not even sure as to why he was giggling as if its a norm to him, now I?m looking at the review and its a norm. for thisestablishment to have things in there food now. Now I?d be wrong if I yanked him or caused chaos in the establishment for suchnonsense. The only employees that shown genuine concern/were disgusted was the hispanic employee shift lead and Americanemployees. The shift lead showed concern rather than the asian manager which is very disturbing. Read more

Tried to order curry chicken with fried noodles only to be told they have no noodles or brown rice. Then had to cancel the order... only to find out the guy on the phone didn't take it down. Wasted my lunch break on this place . Read more

This used to be one the best Chinese restaurants but now what a disappointment. I placed an order for lunch letting the young... man that took my order that previously my daughter and I had been there and order pork friend rice(seafood allergy). When we gothome I received a pint of shrimp fried rice called back they apologized and prepared another order. Picked it up came home andshrimp fried rice. We called back to receive more apologies was told we could come back but we passed. Was told they wouldcredit the amount to the phone number. So told the young advised there was no credit linked to the number as a matter of factthere was no record of us ever ordering from this establishment but he did advise I could speak to the manager when I came topick up my order. Apparently he spoke with some else who tried to get the manager I believe she said his name was Mike addressthe issue but his response was he was not hearing this. So I asked to speak with the manager and when the young lady came backshe said his response was ?I am too busy? and he refused to address the matter. For the record it is not the amount it wouldhave cost with or without the credit that was due to us but the fact that you think you are too busy to address a customer?sconcerns. You were not on busy when you gave me the wrong order no one time but two times and I was patient and understandingeven when you gave me something I was allergic to. #1 Chinese Kitchen you suck or should I say Mike. Cudos to the 2 individualsthat tried to help Read more

Restaurant doesn't look inviting when you first walk in. Could use somehouse cleaning . I hope the kitchen is cleaner.. Read more

BE CAREFUL WHEN ORDERING FOOD FROM THIS PLACE GUYS!!! I found a dead cockroach in my food. I called up the restaurant to inform... them about this situation and the person who picked up the phone call was really nasty and acted like it wasn?t a big deal atall. He told me it?s summer time and that?s probably why there was a cockroach in my food. He told me to contact Uber to get arefund and place another order. Why the hell would I want to place another order from this place? Are you kidding me? Read more

Are you trying to kill me or something? I ordered chicken and broccoli, why is there a shrimp in my food. Hoping I don?t need to... use my epi-pen or go to the hospital because I?m allergic to shellfish? Don?t order from this place if you have food allergies,even when you order something that you shouldn?t be allergic to, there could be a surprise waiting in your meal! Read more
