I went to this restaurant yesterday. Although it's a little late to post this review, but I must say: this restaurant is really great! ! The greenery of this restaurant is well done, which makes me feel very peaceful and natural. The quality of their food is also very good. There is no strange smell or strange shape, but it tastes so good that I can't help drooling sometimes. ? And their attitude is super good. Although they are a little busy sometimes, they still treat me with their enthusiasm after they are done. And the following are my favorite foods there. It's really delicious ?

Vegetarian options: If you like vegetarian food, I recommend the yellow bean curd, which is very delicious.

Parking: There is plenty of parking but if they are very very busy you may have to park on the side roads.

Another great take out from Kevin, Owner of First Garden; so friendly & willing to make/add any changes to Menu to satisfy all food requests; delicious & huge variety of authentic Chinese dishes. Fortunate to have their business in GUILFORD.

Very nice people, great Chinese food spot, and the woman who works the desk is super cool, friendly, and welcoming. They pack the food very well, and it's always fresh& hot. They are closed one day on a weekday, and I believe it's a Tuesday. But it is worth it. I've been going here for about 5 or 6 years.

We went to connecticut zoo today. And when returning back home . Just googled and stopped by to have dinner. (Well. To be honest , my husband was attracted by the outdoor table, and when we arrived, we found there is no so called table ? )BUT , To our surprise. The owners are SUPER FRIENDLY, smilingly, they can even cook the food accordingly to the taste we like . The portion is HUGE . The spring roll is Hugest ever I’ve seen , To be honest , we’ve been to several take out restaurants every time when we go visiting all kinds of museums parks and zoos , they’ve been the most impressive one !We will certainly come back ! ❤️

One of the worst Chinese food experiences we have had in CT. Ordered General Tso chicken for my college aged son who took a couple of bites and pushed it away saying “nope”. So I tried it and tasted like sugar and fried cornstarch with a way too sweet sauce. No vegetables came with it… just globs of this gooey stuff and hardly any chicken inside the globs. I mean, this is a basic and common American Chinese dish not known being super healthy but eating this is guaranteed to take days off your life. There are other Chinese establishments nearby that serve same dish and you can taste the chicken, less sugary and comes with broccoli. This was a one star experience.

Super amazing service. ? i had ordered the boneless spare ribs with the fried rice. The spare rib meat was in very large pieces with very little to no fat. Super good and tender. Someone shared with me the chicken wings they ordered here as well and i wish id ordered them instead. The wings are very small but where they lack in size they make up for in amazing flavor! I can tell this restaurant cares about their food and knows what they are doing!
