The receipt
Patricia R.

I called my parents up and told Mami to get ready as I was picking her up to get some Chinese food by her side of town. She had been asking for some from this new place which still has not opened up yet so I told her we would go to the spot they will once in a bit get dinner from. It was early evening so we drove down, stepped in and placed an order of the shrimp lo mein ($10.25), a pint of chicken lo mein ($7.25) for my brother since he can't eat shrimp, a large boneless ribs order ($10) and crab rangoons ($6). They were all quickly prepared and back to my parents home we went. The shrimp lo mein was decent with tiny shrimp and not too many veggies, the noodles could have been a bit more flavorful. The boneless ribs ($10) were a touch tough and so were the rangoons though that happens to fried dough. It has been a few hours since the meal and the slight aftertaste remains in my mouth which I am not loving. The lady was quick when taking our order and their service was good.

Decent local Chinese, food is always piping hot and made to order. Anything can be altered to your spice preference. I recommend this spot over others across the street for sure. One of the best egg rolls. Great affordable prices and large portions. BEWARE: they are CLOSED on Tuesdays.

Supposedly, how special fried rice with ham!
Kenneth P.

lowering my rating to 2 stars: For what I used to pay 16.50 somehow magically it's $20 charge to 3.50 for house special and $1 ham I don't see none of those ingredients in my rice maybe one tiny piece of chicken and one tiny piece of pork. I've been here for years, lately I've been getting ripped off. And taken advantage of. The flavor is good but the service is going to shit! I overpaid I'm disappointed. I know a place where my whole meal is $14 with more than enough ingredients and taste way better. I'm going to start going over there.! Sad because I used to consider this place almost 5 stars! Last time I paid one dollar extra pork, they gave me last pork! This is stealing.

Excellent lunch deals! Not too salty which is greatly appreciated. Lunch choice entree, and egg roll or soup and a soda! Fed me lunch and dinner. Friendly staff. Carry out only of course.

I haven't written a review in a long time but I had to show support after ordering here. The chicken broccoli I got for a lunch special was perfect, not only that but the portion was huge and the service was great. I've had chicken broccoli from 2 other local Chinese food spots and not only were the portions smaller than at First Choice, but they tasted off too. This chicken broccoli that I got here was a 10/10.

Lately there has been a lack of good New York style Chinese takeout food in the east Orlando area and places that were once good took a serious nosedive. While there are very good places like Chuan Lu Garden offering a great more upscale Asian food experience, the typical Chinese takeout spot has seemingly all but disappeared. This has had me seeking a good New York style Chinese takeout place and trying the various local options. This restaurant is located in a mall anchored by a Publix supermarket and it is rather plain on the outside a bit run down on the inside. While I awaited my Chinese food, my attention was drawn to a group of four machines, one with gumballs, the other three with cheap trinkets and found myself wondering how old those gumballs actually were. But I digress... So, onto the food... I wish I could say it was good. I also wish wishes came true. Fifty dollars for takeout for four of us and there was nothing good about it. My daughter and I split an order of steamed dumplings. This might have been the worse out of all of our offerings. It tasted like the dough was not fully cooked. It was also bland, which was the one consistent throughout this meal. Bland. The egg roll was terrible. The curry chicken was bland. I upgraded to a fried rice for $2.00 and the rice was dry and, like everything else, bland. The only thing that was halfway decent was the wanton/egg drop mix soup. My search for good New York style Chinese takeout continues.

Super oily eggplant in garlic sauce
Enit S.

Well, this wouldn't be my first choice I'll say that right off the bat. The people working there were unfriendly and looked miserable. I ordered the eggplant in garlic sauce and it was an oily mess (see pic) it had good flavor but why was it drowning in oil? At least the vegetable fried rice was good. When I got home there was no fork, no soy or duck sauce packets in my bag; I was surprised to find a fortune cookie. I'd be reluctant to go back just cause the eggplant was so oily, leads me to believe everything else probably is too.

As usual, the food is spectacular! So fresh and tasty! Enough food for 2 people to share. Do have to mention the egg rolls are not the same as they use to be. Completely different and disappointing. This is the only negative feedback. I wish they would change them back.

Great Chinese food! Always hot, always fresh. The combination platters have enough food to share, for around $10.

Service could've been better. They double charged us and didn't realize it until after we…read moreapproached them once we paid. The food did come out quick however, and funny enough, the appetizer came out last. Skip out on the chicken and garlic appetizer for sure. Our table didn't like it so we sent it back. I'd say get the lomein noodles with spice because that was definitely the best thing we had there. In terms of the protein, the beef was good but had some mint pieces in there that were completely off putting. The shrimp was a bit too sweet and the chicken green peppers (not photographed) were decent as well.

This is a lovely spot with lots of flavor and generous portions! I highly recommend going here with…read morepeople who are down to share so you can try more items! One entree works for about 2-3 people. I tried 3 dishes. My only feedback is the Dan Dan Noodles were not close to what I expected. This is my go-dish at Sichuan restaurants and these didn't have the flavor or texture. To make mine taste more flavorful I relied on adding some sauce from my fish entree to this. I'll come back as this place has such tasty food. The seating is good too and it's a good location!
