First Chinese BBQ

Support local small businesses! This place has the most authentic Cantonese food in Austin. Seriously don't know why they are not crowded but we like that we get seated immediately every time. When we are craving serious Chinese comfort food, we drive all the way across town to eat here. Stand out dishes: - Beef Chow Fun (gan chao niu he) has good wok hei - Won Ton Noodle Soup - Beef Noodle Soup - Roast Deck, Soy Sauce Chicken, Char Siu Pork - we always get extra to take home. Staff is friendly and attentive (unusual for an authentic Asian restaurant). Casual family dining. Reasonable prices. The only problem for me is that it's so far from my house!

Amazing! Do not deprive yourself, EAT HERE! All 3 dishes are great: 1. Szechuan Beef (spicy) from the Pork & Beef 2. Stir Fried Round Bean with Pork from the Chef’s Special Menu 3. Happy Family

My recent dining experience at First Chinese BBQ in Austin's Chinatown was extremely disappointing. The food quality was concerning, and the ingredients clearly lacked freshness. In particular, the mixed vegetable pot had a noticeable sour taste from the first bite, as if it were made from leftover scraps. Such cooking standards and service do not meet customer expectations. I strongly recommend avoiding this restaurant to ensure a pleasant dining experience.

I've tried food from this place many times and had never disappeared. Today I got 4 to-go for the family and all including my kids love the food. It's not too saucy or oily, just perfect and the portion sizes are huge, I think we have enough for another meal. Good food and highly recommend it

Wow. Just, wow. I rarely leave reviews, but this Chinese food place absolutely blew me away and deserves every single one of its 5 out of 5 stars. I can honestly say this is the best Chinese food I've had in years! From the first bite, the freshness was undeniable. Every ingredient tasted vibrant and high-quality, not like it had been sitting around. The vegetables were crisp, the meats perfectly cooked, and you could tell everything was prepared with care. And the flavor! Oh, the flavor. Each dish was a symphony of perfectly balanced tastes – savory, sweet, a hint of spice where it belonged, and incredibly aromatic. It wasn't greasy or heavy like some places; instead, every bite was clean, rich, and utterly delicious. We tried several dishes, and each one was a standout. If you're sear
