First Wok

We ordered take out from here in April and we were not impressed. We ordered some pretty simple dishes (shrimp fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and beef with broccoli) so I am not sure how they messed them up but they did. Also, you could not eat in the restaurant, I am not sure if they changed that since then but if you are interested, call before you go, if you are trying to eat in.

First Wok is one of my favorite Chinese takeout spots in Austin. Portions are very generous (definitely enough for leftovers), prices feel fair, and the food is consistently fresh and flavorful. Service has always been friendly and quick. I highly recommend the Beef & Broccoli complete meal — it comes with your choice of soup and an egg roll. I usually add white rice and a side of lo mein, which makes it a super filling combo. It also has that authentic neighborhood family-run feel. Definitely a reliable go-to for Chinese takeout.

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

I’m convinced the bad reviews are fake. I’ve been coming to 1st wok for 4 years. I haven’t found any other Chinese take out in Austin that can even compare to this place. Every time I come here it taste the same (Amazing!) and the staff is polite, and it’s nice to see it’s a family owned business with the kids sitting doing their homework. You just can’t go wrong with 1st Wok!!!

I love their food. Amazing portion for $12 or so. They even have a special diet menu for those with dietary restrictions. I can portion one meal (meat, veg, rice) into 3 meals throughout the day or days. Closed on Tuesdays, open by 11 AM is perfect. Orange chicken has orange peel but not nuts like the website says. You can have the sauce on the side.
