" I've come to love First China after several visits! Their lunch specials are simply amazing, offering high-quality food at a low price. Ideally, I would recommend the orange chicken and egg rolls; they never disappoint. The owners are friendly and service is efficient, which makes each visit enjoyable. It’s a cozy little joint and even though it’s takeout, they have made me feel valued as a customer every single time. Keep up the great work! " (*Curated Review*)

" First China is a diamond in the rough of Cary! I tried it on a whim because my typical Chinese spot was closed. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and was blown away. The flavors were super fresh, and there was a perfect level of spice. Portions were generous, too! The only downside was the wait time, which wasn't excessive but felt longer due to the craving I had. The staff was polite, making my wait less painful. The only thing I would improve is the seating area, which feels a bit cramped. Overall, highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was really looking forward to trying First China after hearing so many wonderful things about it. The food was decent, but honestly, it felt pretty standard for Chinese takeout. I had the sweet and sour pork, and while it was good, it didn’t have the zing I was expecting. The service was friendly, but the restaurant itself could use a little cleaning. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but I think there are better options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about First China, I was excited to finally visit. The place has an unmistakably charming feel that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. However, upon ordering, I went for what I thought would be a classic: the fried rice and sweet n' sour chicken combo. The food was okay, but just a step below my expectations based on the hype. I didn't enjoy the sauce on the chicken, really too sweet for my taste. The fried rice was average too. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but I can’t say I’m in a rush to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" First China is the quintessential stop for takeout on the weekend. The convenience and accessibility of the location are unbeatable. I typically go for the house special lo mein, which is always packed with prawns and veggies. Not once have I been disappointed with the food quality; each meal leaves me feeling satisfied! The only downside is during peak times, you may have to wait a bit, but it’s definitely worth it for the taste that you get. " (*Curated Review*)

" First China is my favorite spot to grab some Chinese takeout! The crab rangoon is consistently good; they have just the perfect crunch every time. The sesame chicken is another dish I can’t recommend enough. I've been coming for years, and although the atmosphere is simply okay, the food definitely makes up for it. They have a solid menu with many options to satisfy any craving! You can’t go wrong with this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I walked in, I was enveloped in delightful aromas wafting from the kitchen, specifically the smell of freshly prepared dumplings. I settled on ordering the sesame chicken, shrimp fried rice, and pork egg rolls. I've visited many Chinese restaurants, but this one stands out remarkably! The sesame chicken had the perfect crunch and flavor that pulled me in right from the first bite. Even the shrimp fried rice was something to rave about; loaded with shrimp, it was both hearty and indulgent. As for the egg rolls, they had just the right balance of crispy and soft. My only critique is the limited seating and the ambiance, yet the tasty food more than makes up for it. This is the best spot for tasty Chinese food—a must-visit if you're in the area!
