New Number One - Newark

I’ve ordered here a couple times. The egg rolls were sitting out at room temp next to the fryer once which I overlooked. Today I went to eat my leftover lo mein and found a human hair in it after I’ve eaten half 🤢 it’s def not mine bc I have blonde hair!

I found out about New Number One through a friend of mine who hosts community-building jam sessions in the restaurant, and they have become one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is not only prepared quickly, but tastes amazing. And to allow my friend to use their space to foster a tightly-knit community with the shared interests of good music and good food is nothing short of spectacular.

I’m here waiting for two grub hub delivery orders and it’s been over an hour and I keep being told the orders are coming up, yet approximately 15-20 other customers have came and went since I’ve been sitting here. It’s also probably about 30 degrees in here. Customer service sucks, atmosphere is awful and I’m not sure about the food but sitting and waiting for an hour for maybe $12 pay is absolutely insane to me.

as a dasher, this is THE worst restaurant i have visited. Often the employees/ owners are not even in the building during normal hours, leaving customers to wait 30 minutes or more b4 they show up Even if there you can expect an extended wait for hastily cooked food and ridiculous wait times....

The woman that answers the phone, takes your order, and greets you upon arrival, has the personality and people skills of a house plant. Fortunately, the food is decent.
