First Wok

I am not very impressed. I ordered delivery and only ate about half of my order. I’m not sure what i got but I ordered Hot & Sour Soup. I took two bites and threw it out. The Szechuan Chicken was ok but I wouldn’t order it again. I hate to say it but the crab rangoons were the best part and even those weren’t very good. You can eat it, but it won’t ease you craving for Asian food.

Best General tso’s chicken around! I also love their sesame chicken, chicken with black bean sauce, sweet & sour chicken, actually everything I’ve gotten here has been delicious!

Don’t have a lot of time to write this, but I’ve been putting this off for about a year now. I’ve been going here for many years, probably since they opened about 20 yrs ago. Same owners (I believe). From all the «fast» Chinese restaurants, this is by far the best one in town. I am a hard critic, but this place has always been really good! I had the Orange Chicken this evening and it was amazing! Perfectly fried, not too much breading, wish it had been a little spicier, but that’s me… I like it hot, next time I’ll ask for hotter. The owner is always friendly and knows how to make her customers feel comfortable and keep coming back. I have two other Chinese restaurants that I frequent because of their nice sit down atmosphere and their food, but the owners are horrible, they have no clue how to treat their customers. I guess its their culture to be rude and bossy to their customers in china, but it does not fly in USA. I work in a hotel, so whenever someone wants Chinese in the area, I send them to First Wok because you do a great job and thank you for the great service and always delicious, food !!

Good value lunch for eat in or carry out. Really enjoyed my pepper steak lunch special.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in the area! The food is fresh and delicious — American Chinese. The prices are very reasonable. The owners, Annie and her husband, are extremely friendly, courteous, and accommodating. I’ve been a regular there for years. The dining area is clean and comfortable, reminiscent of a small New York place. I am a Chinese food fanatic. I have searched for better Chinese restaurants nearby and have not found one. I usually get the chicken with broccoli combo, steamed, with the sauce on the side, steamed rice instead of fried, and I substitute egg drop soup for the egg roll (although their egg rolls are my favorite!). The whole lunch is about 450 calories at most depending on how much sauce I use. And I love that the soda fountain is in the dining area so I can refill my diet Pepsi at will. We recently moved to Texas but I regularly visit «back home» and never miss meeting my old friends at First Wok for my favorite Chinese food. It became a regular afternoon hangout and I miss it terribly. It’s that kind of place — home away from home. If you go, please tell Annie that Stacey says hello! :-)

While I agree with others that this is not the best Chinese food in O’Fallon, I will say that it satisfies the craving and it is not bad. Some days it can be awesome and others just fair. I think it has to do with the oil and how long they use it before it is changed.
I like the Orange Chicken and the Kung Po Chicken. I think these are both good choices. The Lo Mein noodles are really good if you eat them hot.
Price is excellent especially during lunch. It is worth giving this place a shot!

This place used to be GREAT! Something happened and now they barely get an order correct. In the last two weeks I’ve received a raw chicken appetizer that they refused to fix or even act like they cared, messed up a large order for my family (I think they delivered the wrong order) and recently I ordered and it never got delivered. Today, they messed up my order so badly that it wasn’t even edible. When I called the kid who took the order didn’t even care. He even repeated the order back verbatim, and still got it wrong. I hope they get their help back in order because it’s a shame such talent will be wasted on horrible help.

Love this place, I’ve been going here for 8 years and it’s amazing every time, nobody I know has ever had an issue with the place. The staff is nice, the food is tasty, and the owner is amazing. The food is very reasonable compared to other Chinese locations and over the 8 years I’ve only seen prices increase once, by about. 20 cents. The quality and quantity of food is fantastic and I recommend it to everyone who comes to visit us who wants Chinese food. Fantastic.

Although this place isn’t the best Chinese food that you’ll get in the world, it’s pretty much the best tasting Chinese you’ll get around this area. I have been going here for years and the quality has never dropped and the employees are always polite (even when they deliver to our house and the dog barks and barks at the delivery man)! The prices are great, the employees are great, and the food is great!
I would definitely check this restaurant out if you ever in the area. It won’t disappoint!

Great tasting «American» Chinese food at decent prices. I love this place — they are friendly and their delivery is super-​fast and always perfect.
The menu is extensive and has all the stuff you ever want.
I also like calling a Chinese restaurant where I can understand the person on the phone and they can understand me.
This is my go-​to Chinese place now and I love it. Highly recommend.

A decent Chinese take out joint. Reasonable priced. I recommend the steamed potstickers. Good mix inside, thick dough outside. The dipping sauce is a must. Egg rolls and crab Rangoon are better than average. There is always an coupon to use and they are very quick!

Just love having delivery Chinese food without being in the City. Quality food and service.

Reasonably priced — decent food — friendly staff.
The hot and sour soup is not my favorite, but the szechuan chicken is quite tasty!
Nothing fancy, but good — especially for the price.

I gave it 5 stars to make up for Tim B.‘s 2 star review (he admits to reviewing places he hasn’t even eaten in, and has more 1 star review than most people have total)
This is Chinese Take Out. When we first moved here, we thought they were all the same, but First Wok has won us over. The customer service is always friendly. They don’t get grumpy if you use their coupons (which are on the back of the receipts from Shop and Save next door. Our orders have always been prepared quickly and accurately. The food is always hot, and tastes good (for what it is).
Is this a 5 star establishment??? Well the food is the best Chinese takeout around, so yes. The restaurant itself is not the kind of place you would want to sit around and eat a meal at. They do Chinese takeout better than anyone else in the county (and that is not my opinion, but according to the St. Louis Suburban Journal). In fact, when I congratulated the older lady that works counter, she was unaware of that fact.
My personal favorites there are the steamed pot stickers (actually the sauce — it’s wonderful). The crab Rangoon are good, but a little sweet for my liking. The chicken fried rice is great, as is the Hunan chicken. My family eats the beef lo mein, and love it, along with the General Tso’s and the sweet and sour chicken.
We have had them deliver a few times, and there was no charge, and delivery was quick.

I live in U-​City and work in O’fallon and this by far is one of the best fast food variety Chinese. I’ve had a wide range of the menu and to this day the Kung Pao Chicken is the best. Their crab ragoon can be hit or miss and their egg rolls can be quite greasy sometimes. But, that aside, they totally make up for it in their dishes.

The other reviews are spot on. I love Chinese food, but finding a good place has been hard since my relocation to the area. I came on here and saw the great reviews, so I went ahead and tried it out. I’m so glad I did. The food was incredible. I had szechuan chicken, egg rolls, and hot and sour soup. Everything was great, price was more than reasonable, and it was quick!
Staff was very friendly, and I couldn’t be happier. They now have a loyal customer.

Let me preface this review by saying I go to First Wok 3 or 4 days a week and love it.
Perhaps it’s not the best Chinese food in St. Louis, but for a $ 5.24 lunch special (tax incl.), you get a ton a food that’s perfect for a midday work break.
Also the people that work here are pretty chill and love to dole out free crab rangoon if you look hungry enough.

What can you say? it’s your typical Chinese place, except I’ve been eating at for over 8 years. Very consistent takeout and good prices for the area. Never ate in — but it has the typical campy and unimpressive Chinese restaurant décor. if you’re in the area and want Chinese food I’d just start here.

More flavorful than the average Chinese takeout, but service may be slower when busy as the kitchen is not very large.
