China First Restaurant, Ballwin MO

What an absolute joke. We ordered General's Chicken, and it was completely inedible. We even ran the "meat" thru a food processor to show how tough the "chicken" was. Photo included. Will never order from here again.

THEY DELIVERED TO ME ONE TIME 2 WKS AGO AND TODAY I CALL TO ORDER AGAIN AND THEY DONT DELIVER TOLD ME TO GET SOMEONE ELSE I GUESS THE LAST $10 TIP WASNT ENOUGH OR THEY JUST QUIT DELIVERING ALL OF A SUDDEN. NOT SURE WHICH BUT JUST BE CAREFUL PPL.

I absolutely love this place!
1The food is the best Chinese food you get! Their food has won multiple awards for being the best Chinese food in St. Louis! They cook with so much flavor it's a party for the tastebuds! The hot and sour soup is the best I've ever had anywhere! When it's chilly outside or your not feeling the greatest, it's the perfect go to! The beef lomein is also fantastic! And the portions here are so generous! I have never been able to finish anything in one sitting but the soup! Lol! The spicy dishes are great too! I had the Mongolian beef and it was just the right level of spicy. Your mouth is warm and tingly but not burning and beef is so tender! The couple that runs the business is so sweet too! They always remember me and even the foods I usually order! They are always smiling and make you feel like your family! You simply must choose china first! I only get my Chinese take out from them! My order is ALWAYS correct, ALWAYS delicious, and the service is ALWAYS fantastic!

My Chinese restaurant that I usually go to is on vacation. Wanted some chinese food looked at reviews. This place is good. Hot and sour soup is very good, great flavor. Mongolian beef is good just be ware it is spicy. But a good spicy. Love the the online ordering and they are very pleasant. Lastly the place is clean, probably the cleaniest take out chinese place I have ever been to. Will be back!

This the best Hot and Sour soup you can find! It is the perfect amount of spicy with a generous amount of tofu, egg, mushroom, chilis and more! The Lomein is another dish that is better here than anywhere else I've tried it. Their sauce is the secret! The portions are so generous! I really love the Mongolian beef! It's also spicy but not painfully spicy. Yep kind that makes you sweat a little but it's packed with flavor! The steamed pot stickers and crab rangood are excellent as well! Everything here is so great! It really is a must try! You will be so glad you did! Get the hot and sour soup!

This is the best Chinese delivery/ carry out in Ballwin no doubt. I’ve been coming here for years. I tried 3 other places in Ballwin for delivery just to see the difference through the years and this place has way more flavor and the best fried rice.

This place was NOT what I expected. They overcharged us then told us we ordered something completely different off the menu. We got served with polystyrene plates and were told to get our own plastic forks and napkins. EXTREMELY BAD SERVICE!
VERY DISAPPOINTED!

I will NEVER buy from here again.

Best Chinese around, Great pricing, Fast, and Extremely nice people if I could give them 6 stars I would.

Absolutley the worst food I've had.can't even call it food.
Egg roll tasred like oil. Beef dish was tastless.
No remorse from owner.
Stay away

Had one number wrong on my card and they said I have to cancel the order myself after card was declined. In order to do that I had to text my order number to a 3rd party. No directions about this on site. Then waited 20 minutes to receive food. Sesame chicken was tough. Pork fried rice was on point atleast. If I ever go back I'll just order that in person.

Best Chinese food in STL! Every time I'm back in town I make a point to stop by. The family who runs it is amazing and super friendly.
