Wonton soup to-go that’s simply delicious! Broth is rich and comforting, wontons are perfect, and yes, they have roast duck too! Cash only, but totally worth it.

Beef fried rice, happy family, and egg rolls were delicious. Great service. Cash only. However, concrete floors were dirty and someone behind the counter watching loud computer videos detracted from the experience. Probably better as a take out.

Many many years ago my wife and I had an opportunity to live in several countries in Asia for over a decade. While in China we had been to many provinces and tried almost all of the regional cuisines. So whenever we find a local Chinese food place we order several dishes traditional to particular regions to learn the chefs or families cooking style....We ordered 4 dishes & First Chinese BBQ is a Cantonese restaurant. The BBQ pork was hands down the best I had since I lived in Hong Kong, my next favorite was an obvious cantonese style due to the sweetness of the sugar- pickled vegetables and pork intestines. I don't like the traditional flavor dish due to the sourness of the veggies, but my wife does, that sugar made this dish something all it's own and really good. Not a fan of the canton style of Mapo Dofu, wife liked it though, i prefer the Sichuan style. The hot and sour soup was also a big win in my book definitely will order that again. They also have several cooked meats by the pound which is awesome and I will definitely be back for often!!

We had a truly wonderful experience dining with family at this gem of a restaurant. The new owner personally prepared an unforgettable meal featuring an outstanding Szechuan whole fish with tofu—brought in fresh that day! Every dish was a hit: the soft-shelled crab was delicately crisp, the sizzling oyster dish rich and savory, and the sautéed water spinach perfectly balanced. The roast duck noodle soup, one of their specialties, was a standout—succulent, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. Each plate was bursting with freshness and expertly seasoned. The value was excellent, and the hospitality made us feel right at home. We’ll absolutely be back again soon!

We’ve been coming here for a very long time. We stopped for a while and came back not too long ago and met Brian the young owner and new management. The food is very good and authentic. The waitresses Mia and Angel are so attentive all the time. Today we celebrated our daughter’s 25th bday. Brian was so kind to prepare a dish “on the house” and it was delicious! We ordered lots of food, servings are very generous and delicious. Always wash it down with hot tea and we’re all set. Yes, the outside is not appealing but don’t judge the book by its cover. It’s a hole on the wall and it’s very good!

Food is always good here!!! If you are ok with mediocre service but flavorful food- this place won't disappoint you!!!
The food was delicious, fast and fresh. I am visiting from out of town for and just selected them when searching for Chinese food. The BBQ duck was sooooo good. I haven’t eaten duck since I was stationed in Germany and this was just as fresh and tasty. The atmosphere inside is to eat and enjoy good company. I will definitely be back when in town 5/5..

I have been going since the prices were half from what they are now in the menu. I understand the increases, but not the portions cut short in new smaller plates. They are other Chinese Restaurant alternatives ..

This Arlington location has changed management. Prices went up, portions shrinked. The worst is recipe changed, especially the Beef Flat Noodles. It used to be dry and full of robust Flame flavor. Now the noodles all clumped together and topped with soggy glaze. I'll give up this dish in the future. Service was okay,, just needs patience. Considering there's only one girl and she has to attend to every guest.
