" First Wok has earned its place as one of my favored dining spots. The quality of food is top-notch, and there’s nothing quite like sitting down with a warm bowl of hot and sour soup to start. The staff are consistently kind and prompt, though sometimes one might feel a bit rushed during peak hours. One of my biggest complaints is the atmosphere; while it is comfortable, it could use some sprucing up to match the quality of food served. Regardless, I keep coming back for their amazing dishes and comforting feeling whenever I walk through the door. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our last visit to First Wok left us both thrilled and satisfied. The staff was jovial and attentive, and they made sure we had everything we needed throughout our dinner. I loved the chow mein, and the egg rolls were crispy and well-seasoned. The only downside was the restaurant’s decor, which felt a little tired; however, the warm atmosphere and delicious food made it easy to overlook. This is a place we’ll certainly be returning to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited First Wok several times, and it’s always a solid choice for Chinese food! Every meal I’ve had has left me satisfied, especially the hot and sour soup and general tso's chicken, which I could eat almost every day. The portions are generous, and I appreciate how nice the staff is whenever I dine here. Although the exterior might not look like much, trust me, the inside and food make up for it. Highly recommend for a quick meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love First Wok! The food is always fresh, and they seem to have a good mix of traditional and modern Chinese dishes on the menu. The sweet and sour chicken was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sauce. The table service is usually great, but I've noticed my last visit took longer than expected. Luckily, the staff was extremely apologetic and did everything to make it right. Overall, I’m happy with my experience, and I'll keep returning due to the quality food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have seen a lot of positive reviews, but my experience wasn't the best. The food was decent, but it was served lukewarm. The service was friendly, but my server seemed overwhelmed which added to the wait time. I’d explain further, but I am uncertain if I will return since there are plenty of other options available. Just average for me. " (*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*)
