Their food was on point tonight. 👏🏼 I've eaten from First Wok a handful of times and they're usually good. I had their food for lunch a couple times, it was decent and exactly what i expected it to taste like. One time near closing i got a dish (house special lo mein) that tasted like a few of the pork pieces in it were about to turn but I was still appreciative of them letting me order despite it being nearly closing time when I went in. And it was still edible (and loaded with the extras vs noodles) just not as good as it could've been otherwise. The guy usually working the register is nice. Last time the food was decent, but the guy at the register irritated me (nice guy wasn't there) by taking a guy before me that walked in a couple minutes after me. Maybe he knew him personally, but I'm almost religious about following what I feel like is a proper succession, so it upset me (probably unreasonably so). But all of this post was really just to say that tonight the food was so exceptionally delicious I wanted to share the experience with others.

Me and my husband have been coming here for almost 20 years and they have the best Chinese food service and best atmosphere I have encountered since living in Gainesville so I don't understand the negative comments the owner is really a down to earth person

Guy in the front with the huge bulging eyes is so rude and disrespectful he talks to customers like they’re stupid instead of being informative. His attitude was so horrible I thought I was at McDonald’s. Also they don’t wash their hands before handling your food.

My daughter and I and I stopped by here on Sunday and ordered the shrimp fried rice and chicken wings. I was upset because they burned the chicken, and it looked like it was refried . Please do better, and if you go, ask for freshly fried chicken.

They have the most horrible customer service skills imaginable. I have gone there for years and have noticed rude comments here and there, but ignored them because I didn't try to worry about it. They cause trouble about asking for plastic silverware when picking up a take out dish, and I was asked "aren't you going home to eat this?" Also beware if you're past the ten minutes, because I thought my husband picked up the order, and he didn't, so I was called three to four times, and text messaged three times about the order being ready, borderline harassment, which was really odd, and I went to pick up the order, all within business hours, and was verbally abused to no end about it. They put up the hugest fuss if you're coming in after 10 minutes to pick up YOUR order when driving time from a house to their restaurant can take anywhere from 15-20 minutes not to mention traffic, and they have the audacity to make you feel like the worst person in the world for paying for their food when it sits there for longer than 10 minutes. It's ridiculous, if I order and arrive while the business is still open I don't see what the problem is, but they definitely have a problem with it and don't mind giving you immense grief about it. I still paid but I won't be returning to their business given that they think its okay to treat their regular customers that way.

Wonton soup is flavorless. Beef teriyaki on a stick was extremely small portion sizes compared to what I normally get else where. Egg roll appears freshly made and not frozen so they get a point for that. I've definitely had better and probably won't be back. I'm simply never impressed when they serve yellow rice with Chinese food, thats always your first sign its your typical run of the mill not so great Chinese food.

This place has been a family favorite since we moved here 14 years ago. The Special Combos are a great end of day grab, and the Wonton Soup is my personal favorite for when I'm sick.

This place was delicious and the staff was extremely nice. Food was prompt and delicious. My fortune cookies were extremely promising. If everything goes according to plan I’ll be posting an update. This could be big … stay tuned.
