No 1 Chinese - Ayden

No 1 Restaurant had some of the rudest people. Every time you go in there the women’s have an attitude , they take their own time taking your order .. I will not return to an nasty rude establishment

Mediocre food, disorganized, slow. When you Live in a small town, you adjust your expectations, so I don’t expect city dining. A ubiquitous Chinese restaurant isn’t going to serve top quality food, but it should at least be hot, decent, and not a hassle to get. If these people tell you it’s going to be a ten-minute wait, go ahead and count on 30. Recently, I ordered soup, only to get home and find it lukewarm. An egg roll should be crisp. These are not crisp and not hot in the middle. The last straw for me was standing on line to place a take out order. Ten minutes passed, and my order still hadn’t been taken. The young child behind the counter wasn’t helping the situation, as her mother had to keep answering questions for the girl. I drove to the other ubiquitous Chinese restaurant one town over, was served promptly with hot food. Don’t eat at No 1 in Ayden. Just drive 8 minutes to No 1 in Winterville. You’ll be glad you did.

While the food is generally good, the overall atmosphere doesn’t feel professional. I have a strong feeling that the man was having an argument in the back before he confronted the girl. Even if I didn’t understand his language, it was clear he was angry, and that anger spilled over to how he treated her. I couldn't stay silent about it. If it were my daughter being spoken to like that, I would hope someone would step in and let the boss know that yelling is not the appropriate way to handle the situation. I sincerely hope he understood my concerns, as it's crucial for him to realize that such behavior is unacceptable. While the food is enjoyable, this experience has left me unsure about returning in the future.

The food is quite good, but the service can be quite disappointing at times. The owner/manager struggles to retain cashiers, and his limited fluency in English makes it hard to understand him when addressing order issues or explaining things. He also isn't the most welcoming person. Additionally, if there is a mistake with your order, you will not receive a refund. They will offer to remake the food, but that's the extent of their response. My experience was with takeout.
