2 reviews for First Wok Chinese Restaurant
I believe that this is the place--I'm still learning how to determine the names/locations of places which appear to have multiple addresses (street names as well as towns). It's NJ, and I've been recommended to not try to figure it out.
The setting is in a mall, and the service prompt. A lot of items on the lunch menu, so I opted for the spicy chopped chicken with fried rice and wonton soup. Asked for the dish to be served spicy, and wasn't disappointed.
Tea was immediately served.
Rice: I usually don't like fried rice because it's served overly sweet and with who knows what. This one was different--instead of omelette there were strands of scrambled egg. The rice was not in a clump, instead simply lightly flavoured and kept as individual pieces with a soothing flavour.
Wonton soup: good broth--neither oily nor MSG laden; refreshing. The wontons were the thinner type of wrapping--usually seen in high end Chinese restaurants--with a sweeter pork ginger scallion filling, much like the type in bun.
Chicken: lots of vegetables and tender chicken, thinner sauce which wasn't overly sweet like at most places, instead filled with ginger, lots of chile, and vegetables al dente.
Total with tax and before tip: ~$7.50
Next time, I'll have my husband join me. This was one of the best Chinese meals I've had in awhile
Average Chinese place. Sign outside said vote for us as top 100 chinese in the area. I would not put them at the top. Maybe around 50 as they were only average. For the lunch price I paid which was high I could have done better at the shore at a chinese take out place. My food was good but not really impressed. The paintings on the wall should not be American like they were but Chinese!!
