Good evening, We have been going to First Wok for years and the food is always good until tonight. The only reason they are getting a 4 star review is because the fried rice tonight was bad. It had a very bad smell to it and a slimy texture. The rest of our order was perfect as usual. Have a good night.

My friend had First Wok when I was over last week so I decided to try it.I had the beef sticks and the chicken chow mein with crispy noodles. The beef sticks were good and it was the only part of the meal that I finished. The problems started with the chicken chow mein. While I appreciated the food being cooked fresh, the food had little flavor. I could only taste a slight hint of lemon in the chicken chow mein. Very distasteful. I threw almost all of it away. The crispy noodles on the side were not cooked fresh. They weren't hard as a rock stale but the noodles were definitely out for a while.I am having a tough time deciding whether to go back and try what I saw my friend had, or just cut my losses and keep going back to other Asian restaurants in GNV which have reliably served great food.

We stopped here to pickup lunch. Their broccoli in garlic sauce was ok, have had better ones. And even though they did not have sesame tofu on menu, they said they could make it - sesame tofu was not up to the mark. My husband went to pick the order up, asked for extra plates and got couple styrofoam plates. Who uses styrofoam these days? Not good for health if hot food comes in contact with styrofoam and also it takes forever to break down.Egg fried rice was good, but otherwise food is mediocre - a bit surprised this restaurant has 3.9 stars! We couldn't find any other Chinese restaurant with better ratings off 75, so stopped here. Do not recommend! Will not order here again!

Pretty standard Chinese food. Really can't complain. It does the job. Good value, quick, it works.
Admittedly our taste buds are off. Hoping this would tickle them. However it was just ok. I really wanted to like. For the price and the amount you can't go wrong. Didn't work for us.

First Wok is our go-to Chinese takeout place in Gainesville. They are always friendly and efficient taking our orders and have them ready in 10 minutes.I highly recommend the Double Cooked Pork and Cream Cheese Rangoons. My wife enjoys their Chicken Lo Mein.Keep up the great work!

The only to-go Chinese food for us. No frills attitude, only great food at reasonable prices. Any combo with cream cheese wontons is the way to go.

The food was pretty good. I wanted a cup of ice for my coke they didn't have one. It was over 85 degrees inside as I was eating.

I had veggies in garlic sauce, pork friend rice and egg roll lunch special, $8.95. The rice was OK, not a whole lot of flavor. The veggies were a little too raw for me and the sauce was oyster sauce and ketchup. Very strange flavor. The egg roll was not good at all. There was too much wrapper that was raw and only a tiny bit of filling.
