" First Chinese BBQ has been my go-to for authentic Cantonese food for years. The crispy pork is a must-try, and the portions are generous. However, it often feels cramped, and the atmosphere isn't the best; but if you're there for the food, you won't be disappointed! Remember, it's cash only, so come prepared. Don't skip the wonton soup—it's like a hug in a bowl! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed during my recent visit. I ordered the BBQ pork and was expecting it to be as flavorful as I've had in the past, but it was lukewarm and didn't have a lot of taste. The service also left a lot to be desired. Although it was a casual dining experience, I felt like the staff was looking for tips even before we finished our meal. A mixed experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon First Chinese BBQ and, wow, what a gem! The food is authentically made, reminiscent of the meals I enjoyed in my travels across Asia. The BBQ pork was juicy, and they have larger-than-life portions. The only downside was the crowded atmosphere and the staff's demanding nature regarding tips. Yet, I'd gladly return for another bowl of their mouth-watering noodles! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience here was mixed. The BBQ pork was devoid of flavor and served cold, which was really disappointing. However, the environment is packed—definitely a hustle and bustle theme if you enjoy that kind of vibe. The service was where I felt the most disheartened; there’s very little friendliness. Still, it’s always busy, so maybe I came on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Brought my family here and had an okay experience. The barbecue was nice but the atmosphere was less than appealing. The service could use improvement as well. At one point, the waiter was very insistent about tips which put a damper on things. Definitely think they should work on customer experience along with maintaining the quality of food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come here, I am reminded why it's considered authentic Chinese BBQ. I love the wide variety of dishes, especially the wonton soup and fried rice. It's such a comforting meal. The restaurant's atmosphere can be noisy and cramped, but it feels like you're dining right in the heart of a bustling market. Plus, aspects of service can feel demanding concerning tips. Regardless, the food never disappoints! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Cantonese food, First Chinese BBQ is the place to be. The flavors are reminiscent of dining in China. I was particularly impressed with the roast duck; it was perfectly cooked. Despite the cramped atmosphere and the sometimes gruff service style, you won’t find more authentic dishes elsewhere. Just be sure to come prepared with cash! " (*Curated Review*)
