We were visiting the area and were just looking for food before heading to our hotel. Food didn't disappoint. It may have looked as plain as they come but the flavor was there. Service was good-- our food came out fast which was great because we were hungry. Ambiance was ok-- just your typical Chinese food spot.

We stopped at this Restaurant at spur of the moment and it was an excellent choice! Our favorite foods that we usually rate a restaurant by is Crab Rangoons, fried Rice, the chips usually offered with soups, General Tao Chicken and a dish with garlic sauce And veggies. The service from the time we ordered to delivery of our food for sit down dinning was about ten minutes was very hot, And if it suppose to be spice it was perfect for the spiciness! The Crab Rangoons you could see the crab pieces in the cream cheese and it had a little bit of sweetness to the filling! We love it that way! The chips that you get with soups were given to be snacked on prior to our food was delivered and they we home made in the restaurant and very good and not over cooked! The rest of the food met all our expectations! It is our go to restaurant for Chinese! We live about 15 miles away! ( Wolcott)

Prompt, polite, reasonably priced. Pepper steak and General Tso Chicken and both were good and adequate portions with soups included. Favorable impression of good effort and result.

Moved to the Finger Lakes from NYC. Hard to find really good Chinese food. First Dragons food is really good. Wonton soup is delicious, shrimp and lobster sauce is awesome. Tried the shrimp toast and was blown away. Highly recommend this restaurant.

If you are hungry at 9 pm for Chinese food takeout then they are still open. Food is pretty good & affordable for the area. They accept credit card payment.

I came here for lunch while in town for work. The place is spacious and clean. It can easily seat over 50 people and is good for groups. This Yelp listing is confusing because I dont think they serve sushi anymore. The menu seemed strictly (American) Chinese cuisine. There was a sushi bar in the rear of the dining area but did not seem to be in use. It looked like a well-kept storage area. I ordered the kung pao chicken, which came with pork fried rice and an egg roll. The kung pao was fresh and tasty. The fried rice was fresh and hot, but a little bland. The egg roll was delicious. It was really as good as it gets. The service was great, and the prices were affordable. They also take credit card. I'd eat here again.

This place has really stepped it up since i first started coming. I personally come for the sushi because it's the best within the area and some of the best I have ever had prepared for me. The owner is an excellent sushi chef, and sometimes add extra rolls for you to try with no charge. The staff here are very friendly and if you are a regular they remember your name. My take out orders are always correct, the bathrooms are always clean, this place is just a great place to eat quality oriental food.
