" After doing some research, my friends and I decided to check out First Wok only to find out it didn’t live up to our expectations. The atmosphere was dull and lifeless, and the buffet options were poorly replenished. When we arrived, we were greeted with a display of nearly empty trays. Our service felt rushed, and despite some beverages being nice, the food overall left us wanting more. I wouldn’t be interested in a repeat visit to this restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week was my first visit to First Wok, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Upon arrival, we waited a long time to get seated even though there were many empty tables. The buffet selection was severely lacking, and I didn't really enjoy what I picked out. The fried rice seemed old and the egg rolls were greasy. The best part of my meal was the drink, which was appropriately refreshing! Unfortunately, the service was subpar; I felt like I was invisible. I probably won’t return based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" First Wok certainly isn't for food enthusiasts. The service was non-existent, and the food tasted pre-prepared and reheated. I had the egg drop soup, which was about the only palatable item on my plate. The atmosphere was lackluster; it felt more like a cafeteria than a restaurant. Portions were decent, but I felt that if they can't get the food right, the size doesn’t matter. Save your money and go to a place where freshness is king. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at First Wok was hardly enjoyable. My husband and I expected a nice evening out, yet the atmosphere felt depressing. The food wasn’t what we anticipated. I had the kung pao chicken, which was overly sweet and far from authentic. The fried rice appeared reheated instead of freshly made. The service wasn’t the best; we felt ignored by the staff. Despite the generous portions, I won’t be recommending this place to anyone after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to take a chance on First Wok for dinner one night, and it turned out to be an average experience. The food was okay but lacked freshness, with many options sitting out for too long. The sweet and sour chicken was decent, but the crab rangoons definitely needed improvement. I noticed the portions were substantial, which is a bonus. However, overall, I left feeling somewhat disappointed and unsatisfied with the service provided. Perhaps next time, I’ll go somewhere else. " (*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*)
