    I love the atmosphere. The service was great. The place was clean and neat. However, the food was a bit too sweet to my taste. Probably I am conscious about consuming carbs. Not recommend for keto people.

    Best Chinese food in Michigan! Super delicious, lots of food, hot and fresh A restaurant that actually properly cleans the shrimp, only restaurant I eat shrimp really. I've been coming here since I was a little girl going to crazy dr appointments. My mom would take me here to cheer me up. It definitely set a standard for me Since moving away I don't get it as much as I'd love to Lansing has awful Chinese food in comparison They need a location here! My favorite Chinese restaurant of all time, there's a restaurant in Chicago that's as equally as good. Egg drop soup actually has vegetables and shrimp, it's the best! Egg rolls are unlike anyone else's It's yummy! A lil pricy but you get a ton of handbreaded food. Dairy free!

    Exceptional service and courtesy! The meal I ordered contained mushrooms, staff was kind enough to make the order without them for me and were so kind and understanding about it. The Food was INCREDIBLE, very fresh ingredients and hot.Establishment was clean, staff was swift. Would highly recommended!

    I’ve been here twice now, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times, the food was AMAZING! The service is also very quick and efficient. The sweet and sour chicken sauce is some of the best I’ve ever had.

    First Wok serves your standard Chinese food, but it seems like it’s good quality. The interior of the restaurant is surprisingly nice, and the staff seemed nice. My lunch order of cashew chicken was delicious and full of vegetables and nuts in addition to the chicken. The sauce was plenty savory, and I was very happy with my meal. I’ll definitely be back sometime.

    First Wok is the kind of place that reminds you what great Chinese food is supposed to taste like. Every dish comes out hot, fresh, and packed with bold, well-balanced flavor — never greasy, never bland, just consistently excellent. You can tell real care goes into the cooking, because nothing tastes rushed or thrown together. The portions are generous in a way that actually feels generous, not gimmicky, and the prices are more than fair for the quality you’re getting. Whether you’re ordering takeout or dining in, everything is done right — orders are accurate, packaged well, and ready on time. That level of consistency is rare, and it’s what keeps people coming back. What truly sets this place apart is reliability. You don’t gamble here — you know you’re getting a great meal every single time. Friendly staff, efficient service, and food that speaks for itself. If you’re looking for a Chinese restaurant you can confidently recommend without hesitation, First Wok is it. Once you try it, it becomes the standard.

    Fantastic food as always! Server was wonderful despite being busy as heck! Fresh veggies, fully stuffed crab Rangoons, enough food for 2 meals of leftovers after eating full plates! Highly recommended! So many choices for everyone's taste. Egg drop packed full of deliciousness!

    The fried rice was excellent, good smoky flavor and spice level as requested. The Hunan shrimp was ok, nothing special. We were asked to pay in the middle of the dinner service as they want to close early due to a slow day. Spacious location !
