I had heard about this restaurant and that it was a good place to eat. My spouse and I have looked for a restaurant to replace our old favorite Steak and Rice. This isn’t it. The food is average. There is nothing special about this restaurant.

I love their healthy menu--steamed. My husband loves their regular menu. I've enjoyed their steamed shrimp with veggies. I just add a bit of garlic powder to add more taste. I need to eat low sodium, which is tough at most Chinese restaurants. My husband loves their shrimp moo shu.which comes with four pancakes.
Their delivery service is efficient. We plan to go to the restaurant and eat there as we really do enjoy their food. Their servings are large and they don't skimp on the shrimp. BTW, the shrimp are of a decent size, not the tiny ones served at some restaurants.
They send flyers to the surrounding neighborhood with coupons. Each time we've gotten either the 4 crab rangoon or the 2 egg rolls free with the coupon---spend $15 and get the free things. It's an excellent value with very tasty food.

We have tried a lot of Chinese Restaurants in the area and this is usually our go to. Carry-out is ready in 15-20 minutes and always fresh and hot. Great Crab Rangoons and Lo Mein. Also the Mongolian Beef is very good.

We frequently order from here, but our delivery tonight just reminded me how consistently good this place is. Always a great choice for take out or delivery!!

Have not been here for a while but the food was not as good as on a previous visit. Just OK Chinese. Crab Rangoon was great but Orange Chicken was not. Other dishes OK.

We decided to try China First since we wanting to get a home delivery and it was close to our house. The prices seemed right and when the food arrived - wow! - it was heavy! I have 2 teen age boys that eat like there's no tomorrow and they couldn't finish their orders. I ordered a "lighter" (appetizer) that filled me up big time. The taste was very good and we will next time go inside their store and sit down and eat. We really liked all of the items we ordered.

China First is our 1st choice for delivery of very good take out chinese food. Our family loves their food. They are always on time, even in a blizzard. The food is as expected, done right, and servings size is good. There are a lot of choices in chinese take out. China First is a top of the list.

Have eaten here many times. Food is good with generous portions. I call ahead and food has always been waiting for me when I arrive and is still hot. We usually order the combination meals. Prices are very reasonable.
