" After hearing so much about First Wok, I decided to try it out. The ambiance was lovely, although it could be a bit more spacious. I ordered the garlic beef, which was flavorful but a little greasy for my taste. The service was friendly, but we waited quite a bit for the entrees, which was a bummer. Overall, it was a good meal and I’d consider coming back, maybe to try a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" First Wok isn't perfect, but their food is generally very good. I particularly enjoyed trying their different appetizers, especially the spring rolls. They served generously, which was a lovely surprise. I think the main courses could use a bit more spice though. The service was good, attentive when they weren't too busy, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. I think it would be suitable for a cozy dinner date. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you value authentic flavors, First Wok should be on your radar. I enjoyed a special dinner with my partner here, and everything felt right—great ambiance, friendly staff, and delicious food. From the crab rangoon, which had a beautiful crunch to the Szechuan chicken that was spicy yet flavorful, it was an exquisite dining experience. Our server was attentive without overbearing, making for a relaxed evening. The prices reflect the quality, but I'd say it's worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to have dinner at First Wok last night. My husband and I were greeted warmly and seated quickly. The ambiance could use a slight refresh, but the food truly made up for it. I really enjoyed the orange chicken, though it was a tad sweeter than I'm used to. My husband had the beef with broccoli and was very pleased. Our portions were hearty, and we definitely left with some leftovers! Overall, I’d say a solid dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a regular at First Wok for years now, and it never disappoints. The sesame chicken is my all-time favorite; it’s tender and bursting with flavor, accompanied by fresh vegetables. Their egg rolls are also a must-have. Although I have noticed a slight dip in service speed during busy hours, the staff stays friendly and attentive. I appreciate that they always check if we need anything else, making us feel valued each visit. This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in town for a reason. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family visited First Wok for the first time last week. We were a bit unsure since we usually go to a different Chinese place, but wow, were we blown away! The food was delicious, especially the sweet and sour chicken which my kids devoured. I was impressed by how fresh everything tasted. The service was friendly, but we did wait a bit for our food. The ambiance felt pleasant, with vibrant decorations that added to the whole experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially for families! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dining experience at First Wok. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. The Mongolian beef I ordered was packed with flavor and came in a generous portion. My husband loved the orange chicken, which he said was the best he’s had in ages. We shared some egg rolls that were perfectly crispy. The decor is simple but cozy, perfect for a family meal. Overall, this restaurant has become our new favorite spot and we plan to return often. " (*Curated Review*)
