Customer Reviews
First Wok is delicious and I highly recommend it recommend it to anyone. If you are vegan, this is a great option. I loved my dish; I ate every last bit broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and tofu. I was scraping my plate…
On quest to find best crispy beef in Cincinnati area and was recommended to stop in and give their's a try. Stopped in on Saturday during lunch and placed order. Service was prompt and dish was out in within 5 minutes. Beef was crisp, not super crispy like I was looking for, and had a bit of a chew. Sauce was great but a bit heavy. Dish was very good and would return, but still searching for that crispy beef dish that is crisp with beef super tender so that it almost melts in your mouth.
I give them an extra star because it was Christmas and they were busy, but wow, I know most Chinese has some type of sauce but the chicken and vegetables was doused in so much oil it was slimy and just not good. Crab Rangoon was ok, but tasted little crab and just tons of cream. Probably worst Chinese I’ve had… and I love Chinese food 🙃
The hot and sour soup was actually hot and sour!! Very good recipe. And the takeout packaging was watertight and held up on the drive home. The pork with garlic sauce was super fragrant and I really liked it. And the rice was perfect. The shrimp lo mein was not the best I’ve ever had in the area but it was tasty enough.
Currently providing carryout in the age of COVID. You have to feel for these small businesses. I don't know how they do it. Food was just ok but not every meal can be the best ever.
