The food is delicious. I ordered another dry-pot fish fillet for takeout. I didn’t open it when I took it. When I got home, I found that what I was given were dry-pot potatoes. This was too much!

The take out rice noodle is hard when I brought it home, it’s doesn’t taste like rice noodle at all cuz it’s hard. I ordered tomato beef tender but it doesn’t taste like tomato at all, and it looks totally different from the image

I have been coming to First Chinese BBQ for 30 years, starting with the original Richardson location. Takeout orders during the pandemic were disappointed. Quality of food has gone down since. Cheese shrimp (wife favorite) was very oily, a thick layer of oil at the bottom of takeout container. Dried beef flat noodle (chow fun, my favorite) was salty, the noodle was over cook and become mushy. Only the BBQ duck/pork are still OK. The Richardson location is still maintain its original quality.
We use to go once a week but decided not to go back lack of cleanliness and service. Food quality has declined and the short hair waitress there is very rude. She is more worried about getting her tip than actually giving any service. I can speak Chinese/Mandarin and they didn't know that but I can hear them talking badly about their customers. It's not all the waitresses but mostly the short hair Chinese waitress. The last time we went there was last week. I got up and headed to the bathroom and saw a rat, not a mouse but a big rat run under a pile of furniture that was stacked up but the bathroom. I told the manager at the front and she looked at me and just kept working. I guess it was not important to her. We rather drive further to find some better food and a cleaner restaurant.
The "BBQ" meal dishes - duck, chicken, pork - are typical Cantonese flavors, but not enough vegetables for a lunch plate. Other foods are rather bland, southern Chinese style. Counter service is chaotic and negligent, so customers and staff are both confused about who is ordering, who is picking up, who is paying, who is next, etc. They only accept cash, no credit cards, which is inconvenient for customers and raises suspicions of possible tax avoidance.
This is where the local Chinese eat for Chinese food! Traditional dishes are served here. Peking duck, roasted pork, soy sauce chicken to go is all there. Note only cash transactions.
Two types of persimmons and an AMAZING selection of herbal teas. You can get a HUGE amount of saffron here at a quarter of the price!
