First Wok

First time ordering food from this establishment. It’s mainly a take out/delivery place, which I didn’t mind because I was picking up my meal to go anyways. I placed my order with DoorDash and it was ready for pick up fairly quickly. I ordered the Chicken Broccoli, Egg Roll and an Egg Drop Soup. The chicken broccoli was the right amount of sweet and savory. The broccoli was crispy, just the way I like it, not over cooked. I’m picky with my egg drop soup and their egg drop soup was delicious and just the right amount of egg and flavor. Their portions are pretty large, my meal could have easily fed 2 people. I am looking forward to trying other dishes.

This is a lovely hidden gem. Your typical, no frills Chinese restaurant with VERY generous portion sizes, decent prices, and friendly staff. They offered to make me Sesame Tofu despite it not being in the menu. Easy accessible parking lot with plenty of parking. Their dining room is temporarily closed yet I walked in, ordered, and was out the door within 10 minutes.

Been going for years. Out of the way now, but still make a point to go. Only pick-up. They never opened the sit in part after the pandemic. It was very dark antiquated anyway. The service was always good tho.

An order out joint that stands out among the best Chinese American food we’ve had in Austin. We recently took a trip to First Wok and were very impressed with what we found. There is good parking out front and the ordering process to pick up is very smooth. The food was hot and stayed hot during our trip back up north. We ordered beef and broccoli, plain lo mein, steamed dumplings, and one egg roll. Everything ranged from meh to good, or a 4 to 7 for a numerical idea. The thing that really pushes it over are the LARGE portion sizes. The beef and broccoli was delicious, velvety and savory, packed to the brim. The white rice it came with tasted old but it’s plain white rice so who cares? The plain lo mein was fantastic. The noodles had a great chew and good flavor with every bite, again, a large portion. The steamed dumplings were the most ehh of the food, definitely not the worst we’ve, just not good. Lastly, the egg roll was pretty good, we actually wish we had ordered more of them. Summarily, the food at First Wok is pretty good for Austin’s Chinese food scene but compared to others it’s meh. We’ll give this place an Austin 4 but in the Bay or NYC it probably wouldn’t hold as high.

Food was delicious . General Tso chicken was very tasty.
