Oh, First Chinese BBQ, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. First off, let's talk about the food. I ordered the Roasted Duck with White Rice, and let me tell you, it was like love at first bite. The duck was so succulent and flavorful, I could practically hear it whispering sweet nothings in my ear. And the white rice? Don't even get me started. It was so perfectly cooked, it was like a warm, comforting hug from your favorite grandma. But that's not all that makes First Chinese BBQ so seductive. The ambiance is downright alluring. The dim lighting, the warm colors, the intoxicating smells... it's like being wrapped up in a cozy blanket, but with a hint of danger. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like you're part of a secret club, and you can't wait to see what kind of delicious mischief they'll get up to next. And let's not forget the service. The staff at First Chinese BBQ are like a group of sultry sirens, luring you in with their charm and expertise. They know the menu inside and out, and they'll guide you to the perfect dish with ease. They make you feel like the most important person in the room, and who doesn't love a little attention?

Aug. 2023 We ordered the House Crispy Noodle, Four Treasures w/Garlic Sauce (scallop, shrimp, beef, chicken), and Roast Pork. The food here is just really good. 2022 We had a party of 8 and we ordered Beef Flat Noodle, Seafood Flat Noodle, Crispy Noodle with BBQ Pork, and Wonton Noodle Soup with Duck & BBQ Pork. Dishes are large (family style) and everything was delicious! Our waitress took good care of us and the food came out relatively quick. It's cash only, so be prepared for that. There are several signs saying "Cash Only" in front of the cash register.

At First Chinese BBQ, the Peking duck is a savory delight, boasting perfectly crisp, golden-brown skin that gives way to tender, succulent meat bursting with deep, roasted flavor. The rich, glossy duck sauce adds a luscious sweetness that enhances every bite, creating a perfect balance of smoky, umami goodness. Wrapped in delicate pancakes with fresh scallions and cucumber, each bite delivers an irresistible contrast of textures—crispy, juicy, and refreshing. An absolute must for anyone seeking an authentic and indulgent Peking duck experience.

Its not authentic. Yet so many people keep saying this it makes me question if they are paying for reviews. People that say this havnt been to China and obviously dont have a clue about what real Chinese food is. I will say that the food tastes okay for American style chinese but the service is terrible. Although its a chinese restaurant its no excuse. I should also mention that the owner also steals some of the tips that belong to the servers. They regularly fail their health inspections. Just go look at there scores on the city's website. Nearly every year for the last 5 years they scored low enough to be closed or have followed up inspections. In the past they have used a communial bowl to fill up customers waters by dipping the cups into it instead of using the water fountain attached to the soda machine because it was broken. People working there have said they recycle the rice that was uneaten and use it to make fried rice meals etc. Totally disgusting. Just watch when the lady cleans the tables, u can see her put all the dishes on top of the tray on the cart but the rice bowl always goes under the cart separate from the trash. There is also a woman working here that bullies the other workers. I know 3 people that worked here before and quit because of this. Cheap people. Go find some real chinese food in dallas. We don't have it...

Lets talk about my new favorite cantonese (chinese) restaurant in DFW. This gem is outstanding. I discover many holes in the wall on my travels but here in Arlington of 20 and collins is this monument to Chinese cuisine. Now if you know arkansas and collins you know youre in little saigon. Lots of Vietnamese stores and people so get ready for a culture change.

Walkin and see bbq roasted duck, beef pork, cuddle fish hanging on hooks you can buy cash only.

They have a small series of booths and a handful of tables. Pick a drink and goto town on their GIANT menu. Go with friends, go family style. Get a dish like bbq pork and steames rice. Get a veggies like veggies and fishballs its cabbage to them (baby bok choy) to us. And then try a wild card or a favorite like sweet n sour pork, orange chicken. They are known for their duck so maybe get a duck. And dig in

I cant brag about this place enough. Get past the language barrier and eat well today.

Ill post entire menu...
