First Wok

Looking at the positive reviews it must be a local thing. I cannot recommend this place at all. I’ve had «Chinese» food from coast to coast. I’ve had some bad ones but this rates as one of the worst. This was my first order here so we went with something simple — Gen. Tso’s chicken and bourbon chicken. The General’s chicken was ok but the sauce was definitely not even close. The bourbon chicken — it should be grilled, this was boiled. There should be bourbon in the sauce, even if it’s just bourbon flavoring — this had neither. The fried rice was the worst. It’s more like refried rice. The taste was stale and the rice was really dry. If you’re looking for some good Chinese food, I suggest you look elsewhere.

This is the go to Chinese take out in NKY. Always fresh food and great fried rice. This place has the best crab rangoons You will ever have. You can call ahead and pick it up through the drive through window.

My favorite Chinese place in the area. It’s not going to knock your socks off, but it’s good and the prices are reasonable. Hunan Three Flavor and Szechaun Beef are my faves! They are always fast with the pick-​up orders too.

No happy. Chicken and broccoli had a funny taste. Crab rangoon was horrible. There fried rice is not true fried rice. Along with the other food we had ordered. Not worth the money.

Love y’all, love your food, everything is wonderful. We get carry out usually once a month to two months, and it’s always amazing. Best chinese food around here!

Fast, efficient, good food, friendly people. Call your order in ahead, and it will be waiting on you through their carry-​out window. Orders are always perfect, and if you have a large order, they oftentimes throw in a few free apps. They are my go-​to carry out in the area. Favorites: Jumbo shrimp w/​lobster sauce, General Tso’s chicken, Mo Shu pork, Combination Lo Mein, Bourbon Chicken.

So I’ve been going to this restaurant off and on for years. The food is really good, but they are extremely dishonest. The last time I went I paid with a credit card and tipped. When I later compared my bank statement with the amount, I saw that they added more to the tip than I put. I let it slide, I thought maybe it was a mistake. Now i’m starting to think otherwise because I was in there last Wednesday and I paid with my credit card. Once again, they changed the tip. My advice: if you go, only pay with cash.

The vegetables were very fresh and the rice was so good. I got the beef with garlic sauce lunch special and it was just spicy enough and a really good portion for the 4.50 price. The crab ran goons were also very delicious. The service was also very friendly and fast. I will definitely be going back!

They are my go-​to Chinese joint for take out. I can’t count how many times we have been there over the last 5+ years. Usually the food is VERY consistent in flavor, the amount you get, the quality, etc. In the past. it TOTALLY was — and probably will be in the future.
Our problem was trying to find a take-​out joint on labor day. We tried Greek To Me but they were closed. First Wok was open but I think it must have been their backup staff. The pad thai was TERRIBLE — no sauce what-​so-​ever — very little flavor. had flavor complaints from other dishes. This is VERY rare from First Wok — normally the food is great. I personally had the sesame chicken and it was almost what I expect — stil a bit bland. My mother had the fried rice wither her lunch portion meal and it looked and tasted like boiled yellow rice. was *NOT* fried rice and very obviously so.
I am a fan of first wok and will give them more chances but I can honestly say I was not impressed by this labor day meal.

I made the mistake of reading a review here on Unilocal about a new Chinese place in Florence (that was given great reviews!) and thought, «yes, that’s what I’ll have tonight for dinner. Carryout = time to clean my house!.» But, since I had some other stops to make (i.e. Kroger), I decided to kill two birds with one stone and stop at 1^st Wok. I’ve been here in the past and I can’t say that I actually recall «what» I remembered about the food, so I came in with an open mind.
I ordered Crab Rangoon and Szechaun Chicken with steamed rice. I had hoped for a spicy pork, but they only had 2 pork dishes and neither were in «red», denoting spicy. After ordering, I noticed at the bottom of the menu that they would make any dish spicy, but I didn’t want to be a bother.
The service was friendly and fast, and I got my shopping at Kroger done while the food was being prepared.
Unfortunately, the food was a bit of a letdown. Zucchini is not a preferred asian vegetable for me. The chicken was tender, but almost a little «too» tender – seemed even slimy, and while the dish was a bit spicy, it had this offputting red color and somewhat vinegar flavor that I experienced at Amerasia, which makes me think that distributors of sauces have changed recipes or this is some new (and awful) trend in American-​Asian food. The crab rangoon was a heavy wonton wrap, but fried and not left to drain as well as they should have been. By the time I drove the 5 minutes home, the texture had turned «gummy», like 3 day old pie crust that’s been in the fridge. Just not what you want in a crab rangoon!

Easy place to go for takeout, they even have a drive through. The food is your standard generic Americanized chinese food. I’ve never eaten there but I’ve been inside and it’s clean and the service seems to be friendly. The food comes in large portions and is reasonably priced. Nothing to get crazy about but it’s convenient and fast when I’m craving chinese.

Great Chinese food! This place has great fried rice and egg rolls. The general tso’s is really great too! Service was great, food was great, location is pretty good too. I recommend it to anyone who love Chinese food!

Wow. I can’t believe I haven’t had this place until tonight. I’ve been hearing about how good it is for a long time. i ordered the beef lo mein and told them to make it spicy. Oh yeah! It was excellent. I will be back!

We LOVE First Wok. We used to eat at another local Chinese food place, but they closed their doors on Sunday. Well, Sunday is Chinese food night! Closing on Chinese food night is unacceptable!
The staff is very friendly and has a great memory. After only a couple visits they knew our orders and our faces. The price is very reasonable and most importantly — the food is delicious. I’ve not ordered anything «bad» from this place.
They have a drive-​thru for call ahead orders so you don’t even have to get out of the car if you don’t want to. They also deliver locally within a limited area. If you get the chance to try the food, I highly recommend them!
