You know this place was our go-to for Chinese food takeout for about ten years! But the last couple of times we went, it hasn't been the same. The crab puffs (Rangoons) are still good but the fried rice, the lemon chicken, the sweet n sour pork, the chicken and vegetables, the seafood etc just haven't been hitting the same way.Maybe, we will try it again in the future and I'll update my review.

I'm simultaneous disappointed and impressed. Disappointed because when I order "broccoli with tofu," I expect deep-fried tofu with crispy edges, smothered in a garlicky brown sauce. A bit trashy, oily, but comforting and nostalgic. This version is decidedly more healthy, with huge chunks of steamed firm tofu in a very light, almost clear, almost flavorless sauce. That said, I really can't be mad; it was a TON of surprisingly healthy, fresh, and hot food. No lie, it must have been at least two pounds of protein and veggies, plus a pint STUFFED full of white rice, crispy wonton chips, and a fortune cookie. All of one regular entree order, not even a lunch special.Knowing this, absolutely I'd order again. Just spring for some hot chili oil to spice things up.

Still hankering for potstickers/dumplings I decided to order from here as I haven't been in a while and remembered it being good. I called to put in an order for delivery but now they only deliver withing a 2 or 3 mile radius and apparently I'm about 5 miles. I wasn't going to order but after getting through my hairwash day and a quick yoga session I was hungry enough to fight the 5pm traffic. I called back and ordered combo lo-mein (spicy), steamed dumplings and 1 egg roll. I wasn't given my total over the phone but it didn't matter. I was told 15-20 minutes, which was just enough time to throw on sweats and get up the road. I made it there rather quickly. I'm sure before 20 minutes had passed since placing my order. I walked in and right up to the counter. The gentleman there wasn't overly friendly. Pretty blunt and straight to the point, asking me for my phone number immediately when I reached the counter. Surprisingly my food was ready and waiting! Even with his demeanor, he still found it within himself to fill me in on his allergy woes while he ran my card. I just found the juxtaposition a bit funny. I got home just as quickly as I'd made it to the restaurant and was seated and ready to eat in no time. To my delight everything was still hot and fresh. The lo-mein wasn't as spicy as I would have liked but I do find that most of the time. I think they try to account for the American pallet and not make it as spicy even when requested. Outside of that it was EXTREMELY tasty! It was loaded with meat, mostly beef. But there was also a ton of shrimp and I think it was pork. There was probably more meat than even noodles! and the veg was almost non existent. Even though I enjoy veggies I don't think anyone would complain about having an overload of meat in their dish. The egg roll was beautifully brown on the outside and fresh and crisp on the inside with the veggies and ground meat. It was exactly what a really good egg roll should be and for some reason so many places do wrong. Here, it's perfection. The dumplings said it came in a serving of 6 but my container had 8. I couldn't believe it! And they were so good!! The wrapper was the perfect thickness with no remanence of oil anywhere. I keep wasabi at home and I mixed it with the soy sauce and was in heaven. I only stopped coming here because there's a place closer and ones that deliver but none of them hold up to this place. I'll start coming here again because its more than worth the drive and definitely worth the money.

I view Americanized Chinese food as separate from Chinese food - not necessarily because the flavors and ingredients are different but more so because they fulfill different cravings. While I consider soup dumplings or dim sum as comfort food, Americanized Chinese food feels more like a guilty pleasure.While Panda Express fulfills that craving very well, I like having other local options, and First Wok is one of them. The portions are huge and I think good for the price. My favorite thing here is their Crab Puffs (aka Crab Rangoons) - it is an extremely satisfying version of it. I also like their General Tso's Chicken and Sesame Chicken. Their Orange Chicken is okay but it's hard to beat the Panda Express version that forever stays in my mind. I've also tried the Sweet and Sour Pork but it is not done well here so I would try another place if that is what you're craving.

Delicious and still huge portions. I miss dine in, but take out is fast. Dinner portion is huge with enough soup and entree for several meals, so still my jam after all these years. If you bus, the stop is right in front of the restaurant, so very convenient if you live nearby. Will def be back, and it was great to pay the restaurant directly for once, not DoorDash or Grubhub. Got all the food pictured for $16 -can't beat it.

I've been coming here for years but won't be coming back anymore. The last few times the shrimp tastes horrible like it's gone bad and they still served it. Also, some of the meat in my dish was ice cold like if it was refrigerated already cooked and then tossed into the hot rice and mixed up with it.

I've gotten food here with my dad for about 15 years (since I was 6 years old). I've been to a lot of other places, but they don't come close to how great the food is here :) it's my favorite place to go when I come home to Austin from college

I had the combination fried rice and the hot and sour soup. The fried rice is drenched with soy sauce. There is no flavor except the soy sauce. The meat, especially the beef, is very gristly and I have to spit it out every time. The hot and sour soup has a good flavor, but it is very watery. The ingredients are mostly egg and mushroom. The portion is very big and cheap but the quality is just not there.
