Great people and quality food. We have been a customer for years and love the Bourbon Chicken, Crab Rangoon's and the best Hot and Sour Soup.

The lady that works the front counter is beyond awesome and their egg rolls are amazing. Thank you ma'am! She always remembers my order and offers me I e water every time! Both employees are great!!!

Let me tell you how popular this place is. Christmas Day and it was off the chain busy!!! All workers were keeping the pace to keep up with orders!!! Outstanding! We waited a little extra longer than usual, but that's ok... it was NUTS! Food was HOT, FRESH and DELICIOUS! Everyone was friendly even in the whirlwind of preparing orders and taking new orders! Thank you for the amazing food! I never hesitate coming to 1st Wok for our Chinese food! I'd give them more stars if I could!

Food quality is always great and consistent! Great value and great portions! Plus super nice folks behind the counter. Our local quick chinese craving pick up spot! I highly recommend the Hunan Shrimp!

The food is always hot and fresh. The employees treat you as family. Prices are good for the amount of food and quality that you get. We love this place.

Ordered takeout tonight of Sweet & Sour Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, Steamed Rice and Egg Rolls. It was all delicious as usual! We just love Ching, the owner, she is so friendly and welcoming. This was my moms favorite place to go for lunch, and Ching would always make a point of sitting down and talking to her. If you haven’t tried them, you have been missing out on some of the best Chinese food in NKy!

Been eating the 1st wok take out for 30 years. Best in town, by far.

This is a great place to get authentic Chinese food the staff is actually from China so they cook really good food and it's not overprised.. I have actually been coming here for years it's a good little spot and if you wanna sit and eat it's usually not that crowded they mainly do take out and drive-through.
