| - Fast service, good prices, clean, and the food seems good. Of course, I'm no expert on Chinese food. I have heard people rave about Italian restaurants that I, as an Italian, find lacking; so I suspect that someone of Chinese ancestry might think First Wok falls short. Take that as a caveat. Anyway, I like their egg rolls and boiled dumplings. The crab rangoons don't impress. Their hot and sour soup is good. Gentle kick to it. I often get Pork Lo Mein and enjoy that. Servings are ample. The General Tsao Chicken is good, as are all the entrees I have tried. The usual unappetizing photos of their dishes adorn the wall. I often wonder about those photos. A friend living in Taiwan sent me a cookbook that was popular there and it contained the same quality photos of the food. Curious. The menu lists a plethora of items and the wall has posted another list of dozens of entrees. What these all are escapes me and there is often a language barrier when asking for an explanation. Sometimes I feel adventurous and plan to order something I never had before but I always end up going with something familiar. For a sit-down dinner, I prefer Rainbow Gardens on Neil Street, but for a quick and satisfying Chinese dinner, First Wok should not disappoint.
