" Visiting First Chinese BBQ is like stepping into a time capsule of authentic Cantonese cuisine. The roast duck was absolutely phenomenal, with crispy skin and succulent meat. The place itself may not have the glamour of upscale restaurants, but the flavors more than make up for it! Service was friendly but somewhat hurried—it felt like they were pushing us to finish up for the next customers. Overall, an incredible meal that I can't wait to have again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place if you want Chinese BBQ! The only downside is that they are cash-only, which is not very convenient. But the roast duck and BBQ pork were among the best I've tasted—really flavorful. Be prepared for a bit of a wait and don't be surprised if the servers emphasize tipping when you pay, but the food is worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibe here at First Chinese BBQ is definitely not fancy, and you come for the food, not the decor. The BBQ pork and the roasted duck are some of the best I've ever had. However, I noticed the service can be hit or miss. Sometimes the staff is really nice, and other times, they seem too busy to help. The place is cash-only, which is inconvenient, and there's often a wait. Still, the food is worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" First Chinese BBQ is a favorite among locals for a reason. Their roast duck and BBQ pork are always stellar. The portions are generous—definitely value for money. The vibe is casual, though it can get loud depending on the crowd. That said, their aggressive service is quite off-putting at times. Nonetheless, this is a spot worth visiting for sumptuous BBQ! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally visited First Chinese BBQ after hearing so much. Wow, their BBQ pork was outstanding, tender and flavorful! The service was okay—nothing special, could be more friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was quite noisy due to the crowd, but that’s the charm of a local favorite spot. I will return to try more dishes! " (*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*)
