I was starting to lose hope!

The business in question, No. 1 Chinese, is located right next door to the old Beam Audio storefront near Rite-Aid. What was once a former tattoo shop has been transformed into Three Rivers' tiniest take-out spot. The brand new Chinese restaurant celebrated its grand opening just last week.

Residents noticed the sign outside the restaurant had changed from "coming soon" to "opening October 15"; after all this time I didn't take them at face value but they sure showed me!

Here's the lowdown on No. 1 Chinese:

Is it take-out only? There are a few chairs and tables inside, but it's meant to be more carry-out style. Call ahead or order online.

What are the hours? Open 7 days a week until 9:30 p.m. Weekdays they open at 11:00 a.m. for lunch and on weekends doors open at noon.

What's the menu like? Glancing at their online menu it looks like all your favorites are available like sweet n sour Chicken, fried rice, crab rangoon...I have to stop there because I'm getting too hungry.

From what I've heard the parking lot gets pretty packed during prime hours, but locals say it's worth the wait!
