Our food arrived and unfortunately it was subpar even for Chino-American fare. Too sweet, tomatoey, and fried rice was greasy. After a few bites I tossed mine in the trash. Both our entrees, the General Tsao and Szechuan Beef, used the same base (and poorly executed). How is this possible except for diners who don't know the difference? There is so little excellent Asian inspired food in the area. This place is near the bottom. No bells. No whistles on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. Not a do-over.

You come to places like this to eat 7 to 10 Lbs of reasonably good tasting food for a low price. This spot hits that mark with precision. If you want value, this is it. The price to portion ratio is exceptional. The flavors are actually pretty great. The ingredient quality is well above average for your typical takeout fare. It's not going to win any James Beard awards but it's perfectly fine being exactly what it is. A good takeaway restaurant. Worth a stop if you're hungry and on a budget. Crab rangoons: big and well stuffed. Chicken wings: crispy and tender with a ton of rice Chicken on a stick: "best I've ever had" says my 42 year old child of a friend.

Lets face it we all love Chinese food, from Generals Tsu's chicken which will make diabetics…read morecringe, to fried rice and beyond it's a comfort food for us. First China is located in a very accessible area of town two stores down from Harris Teeter on Old Monroe. That said their lobby isn't much to look at as if they don't want diners. So, if you're wanting to belly up to a table and get your carbs on, no dice hombre. They packed my meal very well and it was still so hot when I got home, I almost burnt my tongue (I live literally behind Harris Teeter). The shrimp egg rolls were really good! Crunchy, not soaked in grease, and flavorful. The Wonton soup is pretty boring with a barely flavored broth and too much noodle to filling ratio. The same goes for the egg drop soup which I believe used the same broth? Not sure but both were boring. The Crab Rangoons were fairly standard, not bad but not outstanding either. Now onto the main courses! I'm going to start with my least favorable item the pork fried rice. While the rice was perfectly cooked and the meat was plentiful, the execution was off. I almost think the cap from the soy sauce broke off b/c the rice was seriously dark and the soy flavor was off the charts. I didn't enjoy it and this is the third Chinese restaurant to cook this way. I'm not sure if that's the style now, but I don't care for it. As for the protein, I was expecting Char Siu for pork. For those who don't know that's the pork with the red ring and very tasty with notes of Asian goodness. The pork I got was just added to a hot work and not cooked with traditional Chinese methods. Next up was the Lo Mein. The noodles tasted stale to me as if they've been laying around for a while or in some package. Moreover, I wish restaurants would be more consistent as the noodles weren't round but like a rectangle if looking at it from the top. While this may sound trivial the shape of food makes a different in flavor. For instance, elbow macaroni doesn't taste like spaghetti even though they're the same ingredients. That's because it hits the taste buds differently and tricks our minds into thinking it's a flavor rather than texture. Finally, and I noticed this off the bat, is great Chinese restaurants have a slight smoky flavor to Lo Mein and fried rice among some other dishes. This is subtle yet can really elevate the dish and it comes from a wok that's been seasoned for years. I know I'm nitpicking here but these things really make a difference. The chicken Mei Fun is a simple dish yet very affective. Plenty of green onion, bok-choy, onion & eggs along with thin rice noodles and plenty of meat. The flavor is on point with what I'm accustom to having however I do like carrots in mine. Overall, not bad. Overall, First China isn't inspiring yet not the worst I've had. My family thought it was ok, but when splurging on carbs I want a delicious endeavor as I don't gorge too often. Also, I wish they'd add a Beef Chow Fun to the menu as I have to go to Matthews to get it. The people are nice but it's a very quick interaction so I guess that's good. In summary I'd say it's mid.
