great food and great service. Food is fresh and really good. Love the sweet n sour chicken and the lomein.

This place has good food and available to remove anything you dislike for things you like, they can make some things that's is not a combo into a combo, very nice restaurant. read more

I'm sorry I can not rate them they have new people there they made a big mistake with the order and I made as big order. I also asked for boneless rib tips without the sauce due to diabides. I m very honest this restaurant has changed than the high in price for things that was not ordered in the first place I was not really happy read more

I ordered chicken wings with Pork fried rice, well the poerk rice had 3 small pices of pork, I also ordered wonton soup, arrived home, they did not give a bag of hgard noddles for the soup. The rice sucked. The chicken wings were not even chripy at all, more like rotisserir soft. I do not recommend this place. read more

Food here is mediocre at the best, the reason I only went once. Service is poor. There are plenty of Chinese places that are close buy to get really good food for the same price. read more

Always happy with our order from China First! We frequently order through DoorDash and our food comes hot and fresh.

Some of the worst Chinese food ever from one of the rudest women I have ever encountered. I ordered and was charged for requesting white chicken meat in my General Tso. Instead I got a few small tiny strips of questionable mystery dark meat with probably 90% batter!! The entire meat portion of my food was almost completely batter. I almost feel she had to have been teaching me a lesson for asking for something different. While the other four or five customers were waiting for their food, the same lady tore into several other customers in front of everyone. Beware of this place!!! read more

Make sure you know what you are paying for, they seem to up your bill. Both people before me questioned their bill and she was charging them double. When I ordered she told me the amount and I said how could it be that much and she immediately dropped it to the right price. Be careful. read more

Order out from here quite often, often enough to use their website to order and pay to make it convenient for BOTH of us. I recently noticed an extra $2.00 charge and asked what it was for and was informed that it was a "convenience fee" Bye Bye China First read more

I have been on the search for a good Chinese restaurant in the Inverness area. The search continues. The good. It appears somewhat clean. Takeout is pretty fast. The window service (now because of covid) is adequate. The bad. If bland flavorless chinese food is what you crave, this is right for you. I've tried this place at least 4 times in the past 2 years and each time I say it's my last, but then the convenience of the location, and my optimism that "Perhaps they have changed, it's hard to wreck chinese food" takes over and I try them again, AND am disappointed again. I rate it two stars, because the lunch is cheap and the wonton soup isn't terrible. I am so sorry this isn't better. I really want it to be. read more

They serve an okay pork fried rice. The egg rolls are small and sometimes too soggy. Some of the time I find my hot and sour soup to taste a bit off and definitely not a consistent recipe. The chicken in the dinners is sometimes too breaded. This place was much better several years ago and a regular monthly pick up for dinner, but not so much any longer. read more

Placed the order online. It said it would be ready for pickup at 6:22. Didn't get it until 6:50. They forgot my fried rice I ordered and the steamed vegetables was basically only broccoli. I will never choose to eat here again. read more

We enjoy Yummy House, but find Ocala too far to drive, so we tried China First, in Hernando. The food was OK. The only thing keeping us from ever going back was the lack of cleanliness. Nothing about the place seemed clean, starting with the front door. If they don't clean the things that are obvious, why should we believe the kitchen is clean or that the staff has good hygiene habits? read more

I love this place. It's more of a take out restaurant but if you wanted to sit and eat there's a couple tables. There food is always fresh. My daughter favorite is the pork Lo mein. The Prague chicken is good and the egg rolls are yummy. read more

China First - Front - Chinese Near Me - Inverness, Florida

See all

Food has been good here in the past but there is no excuse for it to take 45 minutes to get a Chinese take out order. Hopefully they gave us the right stuff... I've gone ahead and upgraded my rating and added to the review. My order, while delayed, ended up correct and the food was hot and good. So, in four visits, the food was always excellent but there was an unacceptable delay on one occasion. read more

food was very good, but I am still hungry, the portion of the lunch special was very small, the egg roll was tiny, this is the first Chinese food since covid-19, today's date is 04/30/20. I was afraid this was going to happen, so I am not surprised at all, I will try another place in Inverness, Fl. read more

When you walk in and look at the decor the place needs a good scrubbing and painting if the front is dirty what about the kitchen????

Had a combo lunch from this restaurant today. Shrimp lo mein and pork fried rice. Which was 80% rice to 20% lo mein. Which the rice not being very good in my opinion. Reason for my review. I gave them 2 stars because I can tell you they have good eggs rolls. Better luck to you for a better meal than I received from them. read more

If you love Chinese wings, you are no doubt aware that good ones can be hard to find. This place has the best I've had ever since I moved out of New England: 1. Fried Chicken Wings (4) is what you want to order. One wing is a full wing, containing the drummie, flat, and even the point. These are marinaded, lightly breaded, perfectly fried and served in a paper bag. (I only ever got them to go, and never ordered anything else with them.) Quite simply, these are the best wings of this kind I've ever had. These guys don't make any of the rookie mistakes, the sophomore mistakes, or any mistakes at all in their wing production. What can I say? I was in wing heaven! read more

Best chinese in inverness. And fresh. Try this place before any other and youll see the difference..

China First restaurant on Croft and 44 in Inverness Fl. has really dropped in quality since I last ate there a year ago. Rarely get Chinese but since I have been craving it and I have to be on a clear liquid diet for the next 3 days I stopped to grab a last meal on the way home. The food was horrible. The egg drop soup was a congealed mess of flavorless goop the General Tao's chicken was bland the crab ragoons we're soggy and had a sour taste they tasted of an imitation cheese filling. I had some beef and snow peas that was ok but nothing to write home about and for this and some cold fried rice I paid a whopping $37 dollars would have had a better meal at McDonald's and could have gotten a drink and desert read more

Good NYC style Chinese food. Solid and family owned. Consistent and fast. What more can I say?

Awful food. Ordered the bourbon chicken and in no way did it resemble chicken, either by look or taste. I've had plenty of bourbon chicken at other places and I have no idea what I just ate. Terrible. read more
