" After hearing a lot about Eat First, I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the orange chicken and crab rangoon. While the chicken was decent, I expected more authenticity in flavor. The crab rangoon was quite tasty though, crispy outside and creamy inside. The ambiance of the place is quite nice, making it a cozy little joint. I might come back to try their lunch specials next time. Overall, a satisfactory experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I usually love this place but had such a bad experience lately. The chicken teriyaki sticks were overcooked, and the dish was served cold. The waitress tried to help, but the damage was done. I hope they improve because I genuinely want to support local businesses. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eat First had some of the best sweet and sour chicken I've ever tasted! However, I was not thrilled with the egg rolls this time, which tasted a bit stale. The place has a nice atmosphere, though there isn't much room for dining in. Still, it’s a great spot for takeout. I would recommend it but with caution regarding the egg rolls. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Eat First and was absolutely impressed! The egg rolls were massive and packed with flavor, something I rarely find elsewhere. The kung pao chicken was spicy and had a delightful crunch from the veggies. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you're getting. I must say, this has become my new go-to spot for Chinese food. The only drawback is the limited seating, but the takeout options make up for it. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my favorite takeout spot! I've been ordering from Eat First for years because they always get my order right, and the food is consistently delicious. I simply love their fried dumplings and the chicken corn soup. Their lunch specials are also a steal! Definitely worth stopping by. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! I discovered Eat First last month and have already been back multiple times. Their sweet and sour shrimp might be one of the best dishes I've ever tried—the shrimp was succulent and the sauce was perfect. My only complaint is the lack of seating, but it's a worthwhile visit. The staff is also friendly and attentive. A must-visit if you're in the neighborhood! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished my meal, and I couldn't be happier! The flavors at Eat First are always spot on. I love their chicken and broccoli and always add extra sauce to make it even better. The staff is super friendly, making the whole experience very enjoyable. I will definitely continue to come back! " (*Curated Review*)
