Finally made it to First Chinese BBQ in Haltom City, and I’m already planning my return trip. Ordered the char siu pork and the lemongrass rib, both excellent choices that showcase what this place does well. The char siu had that proper lacquered exterior with good caramelization and the right balance of sweet and savory. Tender without being mushy, exactly what you want from Cantonese-style roast pork. But the real star was the lemongrass rib. Outstanding. Deep fried to a perfect crisp exterior while staying juicy inside, with the lemongrass flavor coming through beautifully—aromatic and distinct without overpowering the pork. Paired it with their fried rice, which was legitimately impressive—proper wok hei, individual grains, no greasiness. The kind of fried rice that makes you wonder why you ever settle for mediocre versions elsewhere. This is the real deal hiding in plain sight in Haltom City. Skip the generic takeout spots and come here instead.
I had the bbq fried rice. The best I’ve ever had. Plentiful portion. Only could eat 1/3 of it. Good leftovers. They have a good variety! Received my food fast. The drawback was waiter was not friendly at all & they don’t have sweet & sour sauce. I will be back to order different plates. Give them a try.
One of my go to’s when I come home to visit! We always get the wonton noodle soup with bbq pork and bok choy/Chinese broccoli and most of the time will split the pan fried noodles with whatever protein we are feeling!
First of all, remember to bring cash or you will need to leave your spouse while you drive towards downtown Ft Worth to the Wells Fargo drive through ATM, like I did. The food is always so delicious - hot, fresh and consistent. We had orange chicken and Pork soft noodles. The egg rolls are a little different but really good. It's become a regular for us.
Orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, hot sour soup, and bbq pork was great! The duck was a little gamey for all of us. The “happy family” (veggie/meat dish) and the soft noodle (chow mein) was ok. Waiter was quick and nice but the waitress was a bit rude and uninviting.
