Ordered Hot & Sour and Wonton soup along with pork fried rice, both subpar. Rice was mostly onions with peakaboo little bitty pork and dry no taste. Sour soup had a sweet taste and little vegetables. Pretty bland overall. Save your money go elsewhere.

We’ve lived in the area for 3 years now and have been ordering from here since day 1 and they've been our trusted place, clean, decent food. Today- we ordered 5 of the same meal came home ate- and all of us instantly felt super sick. Dizzy, extremely nauseated, and hot sweats. That was all it took. Won’t ever be back.

The food is consistent good, especially the specialty dishes. The regular Chinese food is on par with the other local establishments.

Another Great Dish
We popped in for lunch the other day and I had my favorite Hot and Sour Soup and my wife had to try the Crispy Duck ($20.95). She loves duck and it’s not offered in too many places. My soup was great as always. The Crispy Duck was fabulous. A large half duck breast was perfectly fried with a light, crispy coating, then cut into strips and set atop a bed of mixed vegetables. As we ate in, they had a second plate with rice and a cup of a savory dipping sauce that probably had soy sauce, black bean paste and some other Chinese secret spices. This must have been on jumbo duck as there was a lot of food here. So much so that she had lunch the next day with the leftovers. Great dish No. 1 Wok!

Great Food, Great Prices
We’re always looking to try a new Chinese restaurant and found this one yesterday. Located just down from Muscle Car City, this place looks like all the other strip mall Chinese eateries. A few tables for dine in, a counter over which hangs the ever popular photos of Chinese dishes and an open view of the cooking area. They actually advertise themselves as ‘Chinese N Thai” and their menu is quite expansive. There is a wide variety of Lunch Specials, priced from $8.79 to $9.49 that include either a can of soda or an egg roll, and pork fried rice. My wife ordered the Chicken with Mixed Vegetables with a can of soda for $8.79. I ordered a Large Hot and Sour Soup, not a Lunch special, but priced well at $6.29 for a quart, $3.99 for a pint. Everything is made fresh and their take-out lunch business is brisk so we had maybe a ten minute wait. We did eat in. My wife’s lunch was packaged in a large foam box that most restaurants offer for left over take homes. The box was full, about 1/3 pork fried rice and the rest was the chicken and veggies in a whitish sauce, steaming hot. Loaded with chicken and a nice variety of crisp cooked veggies. My wife really enjoyed it and ate the whole thing. My soup was outstanding! Dark and silky, loaded with tofu, celery, carrot, mushrooms, and who knows what else, and I think the best flavor I’ve ever had. Not too vinegary sour, not too loaded with pepper flakes and I think I detected some ginger and maybe a little sugar. And I’m surprised the container didn’t melt as the temperature of the soup had to be just shy of boiling. The soup was accompanied with a bag of crispy fried won-ton strips that I like to drop into the soup while I’m eating. As planned, I ate half and brought home the rest to enjoy again today for lunch. We did see that they had duck dishes on the menu and the very personable gentleman at the counter told us the duck dishes were quite popular. There are nine other soups to try also. They have a good website and are not afraid to post their prices. We’re going back for sure!

We had some expectations based on the reviews we read, so that's part of the 2 star rating. We had our food delivered. We were definitely less than impressed. The Mongolian Beef was mostly onions with very little Beef. The Vegetable Chow Mein did not have any chow mein noodles, not what we expected. The Bourbon chicken was the best dish mostly because it had some chunks of Chicken. The Shrimp with snow peas was just okay. The Orange chicken was dry and chewy, not sure if that's because we had it delivered? And the Spring rolls were mostly rap with very little filling.
Overall, we could have gotten better from Panda Express for nearly half the price. Sorry No. 1 Wok, I really don't like to give such low ratings 😞. We will keep looking for our go-to Chinese restaurant.

This is the BEST Chinese food in the neighborhood. I used to get delivery from a different place, but when I moved I was out of bounds. So I started ordering from No 1 Wok and it's so much better! Everything is so good and delivered piping hot. The cartons are totally stuffed! I love the veggie lo Mein and fried rice. The egg rolls are amazing.

My favorite Chinese food in Punta Gorda. It’s always fresh and fast. They are accommodating too if there is something you want that isn’t on the menu (they had cream cheese wontons and made me crab Rangoon). The delivery takes a little longer but well worth it and I’m sure it’s because they’re so well loved.

Tried to order by phone and was told it would be an hour, asked to speak to the store and wasn't allowed. Last time I picked up because of the length of deliver and the driver was furious saying she had nothing to deliver. Their phone ordering is really bad!!

I arrived about 5 minutes after ordering from my phone and they kept me up to date on about much time the food would be ready in. I live about 15 miles for this place and would definitely go back! North Cape residents, it's worth the drive! Large potions for the price. My husband and I both ate dinner and were super full. This picture shows what we couldn't finish, so much left over. After about a 25 min drive home, th
