This place was delicious and the staff was extremely nice. Food was prompt and delicious. My fortune cookies were extremely promising. If everything goes according to plan I’ll be posting an update. This could be big ... stay tuned.

This place has been a family favorite since we moved here 14 years ago. The Special Combos are a great end of day grab, and the Wonton Soup is my personal favorite for when I'm sick.

This place has become a regular for me and I’m yet to try something on their menu I don’t love. Not only does all their food taste great but their quantities are massive and reasonably priced. Highly recommend if you like traditional Chinese food.

Me and my husband have been coming here for almost 20 years and they have the best Chinese food service and best atmosphere I have encountered since living in Gainesville so I don't understand the negative comments the owner is really a down to earth person

Their food was on point tonight. I've eaten from First Wok a handful of times and they're usually good. I had their food for lunch a couple times, it was decent and exactly what i expected it to taste like. One time near closing i got a dish (house special lo mein) that tasted like a few of the pork pieces in it were about to turn but I was still appreciative of them letting me order despite it being nearly closing time when I went in. And it was still edible (and loaded with the extras vs noodles) just not as good as it could've been otherwise. The guy usually working the register is nice. Last time the food was decent, but the guy at the register irritated me (nice guy wasn't there) by taking a guy before me that walked in a couple minutes after me. Maybe he knew him personally, but I'm almost religious about following what I feel like is a proper succession, so it upset me (probably unreasonably so). But all of this post was really just to say that tonight the food was so exceptionally delicious I wanted to share the experience with others.
