Really really great. Our dinner here definitely lived up to the hype and was totally worth the slight anxiety of if we had enough cash on us to pay the bill LOL. We got the fried pork chops, orange chicken, seafood hot pot, roast duck, barbecue pork, barbecue fried rice and beef flat noodle. Our bill was $150 after tip, which wasn't bad at all considering how much food we got. It fed 3 grown people with large appetites and a teenage boy with an even bigger appetite. And we had plenty of leftovers. We thought portion sizes were good. Barbecue pork was awesome, savory and sweet just delectable. Roasted duck was kind of boney (not like that's their fault) but the skin just melted in your mouth and had the best flavor. Fried rice and flat noodles, both great. Fried pork chops were surprisingly good, they were CRISPY, and again the portion sizes..... you would expect maybe two pieces? But there was a plate full. I think the seafood hotpot was one of the weaker items, but by all accounts it was still tasty and was loaded with shrimp and various seafood; just wasn't quite as flavorful as the rest. Orange chicken was some of the best we've had. Service was fast and efficient. We're already planning our Christmas takeout order from here!

Cash only business! Pretty decent family style Chinese food for the area. I have heard the Richardson location is the OG and best but I haven't been to compare. The restaurant was clean, though did smell of...intestines due to the nature of the more authentic dishes. Roast duck and bbq pork are on the menu but I didn't get a chance to try any of them. We did have the orange beef and the lomein (called something else here) and both dishes were pretty good. The beef was a bit tougher cuts, but nothing too gristle that I couldn't chew through. I will say I prefer the orange chicken to the beef, though. Probably due to the chewability since the flavors are both the same. Nice crunch with the sauce, too. Service was great and attentive. Price point is fair.

This was my second time going there. I love their flat beef noodles. They are very good flavor. Their Chinese food is authentic so as this restaurant is so traditional. Only cash. I didn't know and I forgot to bring my atm card so I was not able to order many items. The atmosphere for this restaurant is very clean and pretty. From outside you will not able to tell how nice inside is. I wish I can request this restaurant to take card or some kind of different payment.

Stopped in to pick up some food to go. I always love First Chinese BBQ and this was my first time to this location. First off...they forgot to pack my rice. How in the world am I supposed to enjoy my Chinese bbq with zero rice...ughhhhhh. My flat noodles were oddly dry as can be. They definitely didn't have the same texture and taste I'm accustomed to from other locations. As devastated as I am...had to make my own rice at home to make my meal complete. Possibly a bad day for the staff as it was late in the day, but this was not a good visit.

It's been a while since I've been to first Chinese bbq. I normally go to the Richardson location but it's been years. My friend wanted some Chinese food in Haltom and I thought of this place. We def had a great meal. The only one we didn't like too much was the beef flat noodles (which was dry and kind of bland) which was unusual. This is usually one of our go to dishes. The orange beef here was excellent. Even better than the Richardson location. They were cut thinner and fried and easier to chew. I've had huge cubes of beef, which maybe quality is better, but a bit harder to eat and less sauce. Salted and pepper tofu is always a great choice ! But a bit pricey for tofu. It's crazy these vegetarian dishes are same as meat dishes. The prices are on the med-high side for Chinese food. Just these three dishes were $50 before tip. I did buy a small box of char siu for $5 to go. That's a fair deal! I think their to go meat by the lb is great. Remember! Cash only !

When you walk in the first things you see are a case with, usually, whole bbq ducks and a pink/red colored bbq pork. The restaurant itself looked like a diner with several booths, tables and large tables for big groups. The menu is extensive with pics, but there are limited descriptions of all the dishes. I am GF/DF. The wait staff was able to answer the ingredients as such based on my choices. Even when this place is busy, they are prompt with serving the food. The food itself is flavorful and delicious. My personal favorites are:l the: spicy pork an eggplant (not very spicy) the soft noodle anything, wonton soups, Peking duck, sesame chicken and all my friends love the garlic chicken. I highly suggest you check them out

The bbq pork was very good. They only take cash (still). Will try to eat in as it's a full restaurant but I only ordered the bbq pork to go last time.
