About First Wok

First Wok is a Chinese restaurant located at 2555 Willowcreek Rd, Portage, IN 46368, USA. They can be contacted at (219) 248-2286 or +1 219-248-2286.

Based on customer reviews, First Wok offers both dine-in and carry-out services. One customer noted that while dine-in is available, there is no table service. The restaurant also provides parking for customers picking up orders. Information regarding restroom access was not provided by this reviewer.

Experiences with the food quality appear to be varied. One customer who tried the pepper beef found it to have a different but enjoyable taste and indicated a willingness to order from First Wok again.

However, another customer had a significantly negative experience, describing the food as the "worse Chinese food ever," bland and tasteless. They specifically mentioned the shrimp in the shrimp fried rice tasting steamed and mushy, and the chicken in the chicken fried rice being so dry that their daughter spat it out. This reviewer strongly recommended against ordering from First Wok.

Adding to these concerns, a subsequent review reported that the reviewer and their children experienced food poisoning less than 12 hours after consuming food from First Wok. The children were reportedly sent home from school due to illness. This reviewer strongly urged others to avoid the restaurant and recommended that the health department investigate.

In summary, First Wok in Portage offers dine-in (without table service) and carry-out options, with available parking. Customer reviews present a mixed picture. While one customer enjoyed a specific dish, others reported very negative experiences regarding the taste and quality of the food, with a serious accusation of food poisoning. Potential customers should consider these recent reviews when making a decision.

I had a taste for Asian food, thought I'd give this place a try. I ordered pepper beef. It had a different taste, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. I did observe a few people coming in to pick up their orders. You can dine in, but there's no table service. They have parking. I'm not sure about restroom access. I plan to order again from here.

Always good, wholesome, family-values cooked right into their cuisine. We love First Wok, which has always been our first choice in Asian fare. The precision with which First Wok infuses the various herbs, spices, and oils is exact and always pleasing to eat!

I have been coming here for years and I genuinely love the food and highly recommend it to anyone looking for Chinese food in Portage! Portions are generous as a combo plate + side of lo mein typically gives me two meals. Prices are super affordable too! Love the lunch specials, combo plates & egg rolls! I had mono last month and First Wok was the first meal I ate after a month of drinking only water + chicken broth (picture below is roughly 35-40% of what they give you I had a whole other meal for the next day). I love this place so much.
