The front brake may just need bedding in a bit, you rarely get optimum performance from new (cheap-ish) pads, you can accelerate/test this by sanding the pads a weebit, also you could rub some solvent on the wheels to get rid of any laquer/shine product they may have put on them.
Adjust the lever/caliper position as you see fit.
