China First

Dropped in for some noodles before work that night. I walked in and was asked what I wanted, not how many were in my party. Should have left then, but... My server asked me how spicy I wanted my soup, scale of 1-5, I replied "7" and got a level 1. The beef was quite tasty and well seasoned, but the broth was lacking, and the spaghetti noodles kind of ruined it. Also, all the dumplings at this establishment are pork, so those are out if you don't dig swine. Server gave me my check while I was in the midst of eating in a kind of "hurry up and leave" move in my opinion. Even had to ask for water. Won't be back ever.

Absolutely love their congee! Although when I asked about it, the waitress said they didn't have any. It seems to be listed as, "Fish porridge". I'm crazy about it. The chow fun is pretty good, noodles stick a bit. Not every item on the menu is bomb and last time I got the fish porridge, there were very fresh, uncooked pieces of ginger in it that absolutely destroyed the taste, but you can avoid those. I enjoy the meat, I find it to be cooked very well, but you'll definitely have a different experience depending on the chef! Sometimes you'll get a 5/5, sometimes a 3/5, but never worse than that.

I'll start off by saying this, the staff was very nice. What the real bother is the service. We arrived and ordered within 5 minutes of being seated, it took well over an hour to be served. It's insane! There was no communication between the kitchen staff and relaying updates on our order. The menu was ridiculous, there was no order to the menu whatsoever. It was in complete shambles with little to no description of the food. On top of all the mentioned above there was zero COVID regulation inside this restaurant. Not a single customer was required to wear a mask, neither were the staff. Social distancing was non existent. The staff in the kitchen weren't even wearing gloves or hair nets?!? I figured that was commonplace even before COVID!

I like the food there but one of the waitresses is VERY RUDE. When I called the restaurant to place an order just now, even before I started ordering, she was like rushing me to order fast and told me "be quick!". When I finished ordering which only took 5 seconds, she hanged up on me immediately without even telling me or allowing me to ask how much time it will take. This is not the first time she had attitude issue. I used to buy $60 worth of food there every week and I will not buy there any more not because of the food, but because of her really bad attitude.

It was a horrible experience. Worst place ever. Forget service. I decided to take my pregnant fiance there for takeout since I have a bogo coupon at China First. When I was met by the nasty rude owner who denied me the use of the coupon and refused me service I felt severely discriminated against. I didnt have the complexion for the connection I guess. Owner said it was buy two get one free. I said lets read it together show me where it says that? and she say get out. I never coming back.
