Quality of food has slipped down. Portions have gotten smaller. The taste has changed. We got the house lo mien.

The hot and sour soup here is the best I've ever had! Soooo gooood! Egg rolls are also yummy. Almost every dish I've tried here in many years of taking out has been very good. The staff at the front counter are always pleasant. Meals are made in no time. I usually visit Publix just next door and my food is always ready when I come back. read more

Out of the 5 things we ordered only one was acceptable so they get one star. If I ever order here again, I will try other things and may re-evaluate. read more

See all

We get Chinese at least twice a month. This is our go to place. My husband and I like it. The egg rolls need to be made fresh but the beef and broccoli is great as well as the beef fried rice. read more

The food was very good. Lunch special had plenty of food but did not offer soup or a choice of rice, just pork fry rice.It did include soda. Great if you drink that garbage. Tso's chicken was the best to date in Fl. The bar is set very lo tho . Restaurants here are like health care here, either very good or dismal. My wife had hunan chicken and the broccoli did not taste or smell (weird) you know what I mean. Right below the lunch menu is says if you don't see it we will make it. We asked if they could do Hunan Shrimp instead of chicken. The reply was a VERY curt NO. Typical not very friendly.For the most part we will eat there again if hungry and around Inverness. read more

The staff was extremely rude when we called to place the order. Food was tasteless, portions were large but a waste since it wasn't good at all. We ordered 4 different lunch specials and all 4 were awful. Never ordering from there again. read more

First time here.. I'm definitely a repeat customer. Great portions.. flavorful and price is fair for the amount of food.

Food here is....ok, not anything special. Staff is curt and rude. I order general tsao extra spicy. Totally ignored, barely any flavor and definitely no spice. I don't recommend read more

It was really good, we finally found a good Chinese restaurant in Inverness. Food was good, the wonton soup, the steamed dumplings and the shrimp and lobster sauce, really good. read more

Far superior to the other 2 Chinese places in town. That being said, the egg rolls could have been fresher. read more

Great portions and cooked well. What you'd want it take-out Chinese food! A solid choice!

First Taste is one of the better takeout Chinese food outlets around. The meat they use is better grade and the vegetables are fresh. I like that they offer 2 sizes of many items. read more

Excellent honey chicken with rice, egg rolls were perfect and I don't really "like" egg rolls but these were delicious. The cream cheese wontons filling was a little sweet for my taste so it lost a star but I will definitely be back. The price is almost too cheap for how good the food was. Pleasantly surprised after reading the reviews, worth a shot in my book, my new Chinese place for sure hopefully the experience I had continues! read more

Best Chinese food in the inverness area. Crab ragoons are the best in the whole county but the general sasoes chicken isn't spicy. Other then thats the food snd service is great. read more

When you walk in, the place is completely rundown. Broken tiles on the floor, broken chairs, dirty walls and messy counter. The woman answering the phone and taking walk-in orders is rude and looks to be frustrated with everyone. She'd rather look down at her iPad then say thank you or anything nice. The food itself is typical and boring with dry rice and mushy chicken. I know you can't expect much from places like this, but overall it's even lower than low expectations. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. All these reviews are old if you go there right now I guarantee you this will be the best Chinese you'll have in 25 miles ! Krab Rangoons are amazing and the orange chicken is to die for ! read more

I love this place..best fried rice and crab ragoons..I also love the vegetable egg fooyong

This is absolutely and by far, the very worst Chinese restaurant I've ever had the displeasure to go to. I purchased food for two people and they agreed. We took the food and opened the containers, and left them behind a dumpster for the wildlife. We've actually eaten at scores of Chinese restaurants all over the USA, but have never tasted such greasy, tasteless food! I'm surprised these people are still in business, but given the fact that we're in the middle of a pandemic and all the food stores have closed in the strip mall they're located? Gives me a clue why they even have one single customer. I'm never unkind towards a business, but this tasteless greasy food should NEVER be called Chinese food. If you want to try a Chinese buffet that offers not only good food but quality? Try the Chinese Buffet Restaurant across the street from Walmart on Cortez Blvd. ( Highway 50 ) in Brooksville. You will never be disappointed with their selections or quality. And.... They offer a 10% senior discount. Just ask for it when you go to pay. read more

I use to love the food here! They changed owners and not only could the woman behind the counternot stop looking at her ipad long enough to take our order, but when we did finally order and grt our food the noodles were mushy and the food wss tadteless. We wont be going back there again. 2 owners ago it was the best chinese food in town! read more

They had great food at one time. My recent experience was a disappointment. Somethings changed there.

had a doordash order come.. the food was bland, not very good, even with me adding sauce... will NOT order again, poor food, it sucks, maybe it was good at one time, NOT anymore. not worth the money at all. read more

My son said this is the place he and his friends like best. We called in our order which included, Crab Rangoons (best we've had), fried dumplings,egg rolls, WonTon soup (5 wontons!), Curry Chicken,, pork fried rice, Lo mein and General Tsao's chicken. We loved every bite. This is not our first time eating here. Surprised by less than favorable reviews. read more

I have never had a bad meal from here. This is my go to for chinese food. I have had many different dishes from here. A few of my favorites are: the Generals chicken, chicken mei fun , mongolian beef. crab rangoon, house special fried rice and several others. Just too many to list. I have been going here for several years several times a year. It is consistently good. Give it a try. read more

I agree about the Crab Rangoon being the best in Inverness. My favorite Chinese restaurant in Citrus County.
