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. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5...
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. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
We've been getting food from this place for awhile but I'm done. The quality is very inconsistent, as is the service. Today there was an eggshell in my hot and sour soup, and the Ma Po Tofu was completely flavorless and had sliced jalapeño peppers in it, but no pork. it was as if they took some of the broth from the hot and sour soup, watered it down and added tofu and jalapeños. They also aren't great about including sauces (Hoisin for the roast pork, for example). I've ordered my last meal from them.
My order was missing items, and the cashier was very rude. We had to return to the restaurant to get the missing food, and they didn't even apologize for the inconvenience. They seem to treat customers poorly if they don't tip for takeout, despite the already high prices of the food.

I wish the food had arrived hotter, but that wasn't anyone's fault. The restaurant is quite a distance from where I live. Overall, the food was good, and I will definitely come back again.
Maybe mall Chinese food quality? But worse service, inconsistent food quality, and issues with every order that they argue about. Not a great experience.
The rice was inconsistent, with some portions being cold and clumpy. The boneless ribs were fatty and unevenly cooked.
Little hole in the wall. Jason the owner nice guy, food excellent! My new take out place. Giving up on rice valley.
