“This place is phenomenal I got the beef and broccoli lunch special such great portions and flavor I’ll be back”
“The lunch special here is amazing! As you can see from the photos, the portions are overflowing and extremely delicious. The smoothies here are also only $5.25, which I have yet to see a cheaper smoothie around the Avondale area. Would highly, highly recommend this place!”
“Good food, big portions, great price. I will order from Eat First again.”
“This place has the BEST boba! They used fresh mangos instead of mango powder flavor, and you can taste the difference! It gets pretty busy in the evening, but it is worth the wait!”
“Alguien me puede decir que rayos se es esto? En mi arroz?Muéstrame que es Me da asco pensar que sea.....”
“La señora de lentes atiende muy mal se equivoca no devuelve dinero o cambia la comida aparte es grosera NO VENGAN!”
“I ordered this today at 11 when they opened, so why does my order look like this. Very disappointed!!”
“i ordered two strawberry smoothies today and on our way home the person i was with told me a hair just came out of his straw as he was drinking it. i decided to check mine and it had a hair in the drink as well. at first i thought it might be outside the cup but i moved it with the straw and it was indeed inside. we both felt disgusted. we’ve ordered their smoothies on multiple occasions and never had this issue. on top of that the guy that took our order looked like he had an attitude. terrible experience this time.”
“This was a huge mistake I haven't purchased from them in years. Their food was very good years ago. So I decided to give them a try again because my regular Chinese food restaurant is closed on Monday's. This place charges for absolutely everything, 2.00 for green onions in dishes. The fried chicken was not fresh, it was old, and the bone was brown and looked dried out VERY OLD . I will NEVER eat from this restaurant again. The quality of the food is terrible. The vegetables were soggy and overcooked, and the shrimp looked and tasted like they came out of a can. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this place.”
“Small Chinese restaurant, I ordered shrimp fried rice was ok needed like bit spicy i asked for some shiracha they want to charge me for it. Dining in restaurants you provide all needs for you food taste better one star for that and I tip them 20%”
“If you want a no frills, generous portions Chinese take out. I've been coming here for years and the lunch specials are the main reason why I come here.”
