As a little hole in the wall Chinese place, Number One Kitchen No. 2 is bog-standard for Charleston. Little greasy fried things and fried rice that, perversely, is not fried. (What is that about, Charleston? Seriously. The sh*t is yellow. That is not fried rice.)

The problem with this place, beyond the fact that nowhere in Charleston can you find decent Chinese food, is that it's completely uneven. I've eaten here several dozen times since moving to the area, and each time there seems to be a 50/50 chance that what you receive is going to be technically inedible. Chicken wings sometimes arrive burnt, as will anything fried -- i.e., half of their menu. I once was served moo goo gai pan that had no chicken in it. Moo goo.

I've dealt with this in the past since the place is cheap and convenient, being pretty much my only option for delivery other than pizza, but a recent meal there left my entire family with stomach cramps. Won't be going back, and I've been warning everyone I know away as well. Drive to the end of Ashley Phosphate and go to Ocean City instead.
