" First Wok is a hit or miss, depending on the day you go. I’ve had some decent meals, but also some that left a lot to be desired. The sweet and sour chicken has been consistently good but the rest seems to vary widely. Still, I've appreciated the generous portion sizes, enough to keep me full. I just wish they would improve their service; often it feels like they’re understaffed, which contributes to the overall dip in dining experience. I’d consider going back, but only if I didn't have other options. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high hopes for First Wok based on some positive comments, my experience was lackluster at best. The restaurant felt dated and the food lacked freshness. The crab rangoons had no flavor and were tough to chew. While the portions were decent, the overall quality fell disappointingly short. Service was also slow and disinterested. I won’t return anytime soon, as I’ve had far better meals at other local Chinese spots. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's hard to pinpoint what went wrong at First Wok, but my last visit left a sour taste. The service was frustratingly slow, with staff hard to find. The food was simple, lacking the bold flavors that I expect from a Chinese buffet. The egg drop soup was bland, and I had high hopes for the shrimp but was let down big time. The chair I sat in was also uncomfortable, which added to the overall disappointment. I doubt I’ll be back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, First Wok isn’t a place I would recommend. I tried their lunch buffet, and the food was tepid at best. The staff was slow to respond to requests, and the overall cleanliness seemed questionable. The sweet tea was my favorite part! But when that’s the highlight of the meal, it’s hard to say anything positive. On top of that, the atmosphere felt stale and uninspired, which made it hard to relax while eating. Sadly, I won’t be a repeat visitor. " (*Curated Review*)

" First Wok left me feeling quite indifferent. The food was mediocre at best. My general tso's chicken lacked the spicy flavor and richness I expected. The crab rangoons did not have enough cream cheese filling as they claimed. I would have liked better options on the buffet, and the ambiance was a bit dull. The prices were reasonable, meaning that the portions were fair. I can see people sharing their opinions about the restaurant, but I think I might pass next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend and I decided to give First Wok a shot and we ended up regretting it. The service was poor, and the food tasted old. I specifically didn't enjoy how hard the chicken was; it felt like it had been sitting out for ages. The salad bar looked sad and the whole place needed some attention. Even though the portions were plentiful, it just wasn't worth the price at all. I wouldn't go back if you paid me! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited First Wok for lunch last week. The selection on the buffet was really limited, and most items seemed like they'd been out way too long. I opted for the general tso's chicken and, wow, it didn't even taste like general tso's! It was overly sweet and chewy, not the crispy, savory experience I was hoping for. On the plus side, the sweet tea was refreshing! But overall, I left feeling disappointed and won't be coming back anytime soon. I might as well cook at home next time. " (*Curated Review*)
