The best Chinese cuisine in Talladega, hands down. Ms. Wendy is an angel and is very patient with customers. Give them a call and get their delicious Honey Chicken plate!!
Had a hard time hearing phone on the phone. Only drive thru service. So call ahead. The fried rice was really dry. And the rice and entree placed into separate compartments of a Styrofoam container. The steamed dumplings were good. Also I ordered teriyaki chicken and it was really dry not too much of teriyaki sauce used at all. It was basically chicken and vegetables sauteed...
I've been gone away from here for over ten years. With my travels across this country, I would seek out Chinese food that could possibly come close to First House. I missed it. I craved it during two pregnancies and beyond.
Upon coming back to this small town, it was my number one goal to go back and say hi to Wendy and get my grub on. Thankfully I have a huge family and everyone's tastes varies and I got to be the designated one to pick up our huge order. Don't think for one second that once Wendy and I caught up and she handed me my order that I didn't drive to the back of the building and very discreetly pick one small bite from every box that was in those bags. There was no way I could resist the aromas that were filling throughout that vehicle! Everything tasted EXACTLY as I remembered from over ten years ago. There is nothing, anywhere, even remotely close enough to First House.
My recommendations: General Tso Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Almond Chicken, and Mongolian Beef. On a side note, definitely get the Hot and Sour Soup with fried wonton, trust me, you'll thank me for it.
I'm so back home!!
First house is always good. No buffet but you still get alot of food for a great price. Friendly staff. The building looks shady but the food is great. I get the Happy Family lunch special everytime
Egg rolls tasted like they had been reheated and were very dark brown. We ordered 2 dishes with beef n both were very dry and too tough to eat and called ahead and asked was the beef dry or soft!! The beef color was dark black and was like it had been reheated several times before. Also ordered fried rice and the rice was very lumpy and stuck together and you could tell it was regular white rice with some sorta liquid sprinkled with it that turned the color. It still tasted like white rice and had never been fried and most fried rice usually has egg, peas and sometimes carrots mixed in it, theirs had nothing but the coloring and had it been fried it would not had been lumped together and no fortune cookies. Worst Chinese I've ever had!!! Plus they overcharged us for extra noodles that go on egg drop soup. U get 1 large bag with a quart of soup and nothing for the 2nd order of soup since they charged us for 2 small bags of noodles.
This is the first and last time I tried first takeout restaurant. We ordered two combination plates which what is about $9 plus tax which should have been about around $20. As the combination plates does not come with a side of Chow Mein noodles, I asked if I can have a side of shrimp chow mein to which they responded they have to give me a combination not just a small side. But they said they would give me a large side of shrimp Chow Mein. ( instead she charged me for a full combo plate which was another $10 and did not tell me she was charging me a combo plate) so the total was $31 and some change. After we came home, I look at the order, and I didn't see the shrimp chow mein noodles that I ordered instead I seen this slimy looking cabbage with bits and pieces of undercooked shrimp.???? when I called her back I told her that I ordered shrimp chow mein and it's usually more noodley but I got some cabbage looking stuff and she responded with... "The noodle dish I'm talking about is called lo mein not chow mien, and you ordered chow mein and thats your fault not ours." Cutting my losses, I said okay thank you and she hung up not offering to make it right. I Google Chow Mein noodles and lo mein noodles and what's the difference, and they are BOTH a noodle based dish. What I got was a slimy cabbage with little bits of pieces of shrimp not a single noodle was inside of their I'll never go back to that place again
yea noo.. that's a bug. wasnt my food but.
