" I used to frequent New First Dragon years ago and decided to give it a shot on my lunch break. While the service was quick, I found the food mediocre. My sesame chicken tasted very dry, and the accompanying fried rice was unremarkable. The egg rolls needed more flavor as well. That said, the dining area was clean and the service staff was polite, but I was left hoping for a better culinary experience. I think I might not return as my expectations weren't met. " (*Curated Review*)

" New First Dragon really impressed me! The portions were generous, and the flavors were apparent in every dish. The staff took great care of us, making sure our glasses were always full. The environment was comfortable and clean, which makes it easy to enjoy the food. I had the hot and sour soup and some fried rice, and everything was delish! Definitely a place I’ll be revisiting soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" New First Dragon has become my family’s go-to for Chinese takeout. We love their fried rice and spring rolls as side options, but a recent visit left me longing for better. The chicken was dry and lacked the flavors we’ve come to love. The staff remained friendly, as always, but quality seems to have dropped. I’m hoping this is just a fluke and not a trend. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited New First Dragon for an evening meal, and I wanted to share how wonderful my experience was! Their chicken lo mein was delicious, with flavors that were spot on. The ambiance was cozy, making for a relaxing dinner. I was slightly disappointed with the egg drop soup, which was rather bland. But overall, with the attentive service and tasty food, I will certainly be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" New First Dragon is my go-to Chinese restaurant in the area. The flavors are robust and well-prepared; however, they do need to work on portion sizes sometimes. My last order of General Tso’s Chicken was great but a bit smaller than I expected. The service is always prompt and friendly. I really love the welcoming feel of the restaurant, and I frequently recommend it to friends. Just need bigger portions and it would be perfect! " (*Curated Review*)

" A recent visit to New First Dragon left much to be desired. While I have enjoyed their food in the past, my last order of sesame chicken was undercooked and lacked flavor. The egg rolls were also overcooked, making them chewy and tough to eat. I was disappointed because I had high expectations based on previous visits. The ambiance remains nice, and the staff was genuinely friendly, which is a redeeming quality. However, I think they need to up their game in the kitchen to avoid losing loyal customers. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited New First Dragon for lunch and was happy to find a wide variety of dishes. The hot and sour soup was some of the best I've had, with just the right amount of spice. However, the chicken on my plate felt a bit rubbery. The ambiance is nice for a lunch date. The staff was friendly, and they serve food quickly. Overall, a decent place for lunch if you're craving Chinese. " (*Curated Review*)
