First China in Cary is fantastic! Our favorite meals are the pork lo mein and the spicy orange chicken. On top of the amazing food, the staff is very friendly and efficient. When I was sick with the flu, the wonton soup from First China was the only thing I wanted to eat and it was the perfect comfort food at a time when I really needed it! This is definitely our go-to spot for Chinese food and it never disappoints.

I have been coming here since 2000. In the 26 years of coming here, I have never gotten a plate of bad food that I can remember. The food is always hot and consistent. I no longer live in Cary but will travel 30 minutes both ways just to pick it up. Best Chinese in the area, nowhere else even comes close.

We just ordered some food for take away. Beef lo mein, chicken lo mein, chicken and broccoli and some wontons
The beef lo mein was sauce wàs a bit much. The noodles were mushy and overall it tasted salty. The chicken lo mein was better noodles still not that great, chicken and broccoli with generically okay lot of sauce, not a big fan of a lot of sauce, but it was thin so you could just drain it off. The wontons were generically okay.
Would never eat here again.
Lo mein is a pretty straightforward dish, the fact that the sauce was off the noodles are mushy and it was overly salted, unacceptable
