Our "usual" Chinese place is closed on Sundays so we decided to give Chinese First Wok a try. I do not recommend. My food was inedible. I ordered shrimp and broccoli combo with egg fried rice. The sauce was flavorless and oily, and there was so much oil in the rice that it puddled under it. Really disappointed that a simple dish was so bad. My daughter ordered the crab rangoon. It was oddly sweet and full of cream cheese-minus crab. My plate and leftovers went in the trash. read more

Everything that I've ordered here has been delicious. My orders are always on time. The staff is friendly. Not much of a dine in place. I recommend you do take out or delivery. The place is clean, not noisy and is located in a good area. read more

Chinese First Wok food is delicious, been getting take-out here since 2018 and won't go anywhere else. It's best for take-out/pickup and they deliver locally as it's small and only has a few sit in tables but is totally worth it. Always exactly the way I ordered and hot and delicious. Have since moved to Norwich CT, and can't find anyplace here half as good. So will put in an order during weekday and have husband stop and pick up after work on way home. It's THAT good. read more

Service is very friendly! Recommend any of the soups. Favorites our wonton, egg drop and hot and sour. Love their vegetable chow mein and orange chicken. So delicious! Also for a little snack try the Chinese donuts. All their food seems very fresh and excellent and fairly priced. read more

Just went back as its been a few years and our regular place was closed today. This was our go to place before we moved to the town over. They did not disappoint. Food was great as always. We ordered on line this time and it was simple. Although I think they need to update their prices since what was quoted online was maybe $3 less than what they actually charged me. First time going here since Covid, and saw that they have no eat in, and the door is actually blocked. Took me a few seconds to figure out how to get the items, since the top of the door was plexiglass with a speaker in it. Saw that the lower part was like a cabinet door that opened and was a pass thru for food. Picked up a new menu, was told that they had just updated it last month. read more

Chinese First Wok - Our take out dinner - Chinese Near Me - Groton, Connecticut

Food was good, as expected. Delivery service is quick and the food is hot when it arrives.

Entrees were both bad. Would only recommend the soup, donuts and white rice. We got takeout.

Something I like about these guys is that they're really quick in making your food. The foods decent, not the best but good. Haven't had any issues with the staff. The environment isn't the best for sitting down inside, it's tight with maybe 6 chairs & 2 tables. Check them out though, it's a decent experience. read more

It's Tuesday night and you just want some basic crave American Chinese food with all the sauce, sugar, oils and MSG! Don't lie this is what you CRAVE! This place is that! Don't be a Karen if they mix up your chicken rice with pork rice, move on! This ain't the Golden Dragon, it's the Chinese First Wok! Decent prices for pretty good Chinese food! I ain't mad at it! Orange Chicken was piping hot, egg roll was thicc and had a nice crisp ahell and fried rice tasted fresh! (They actually used a lot of fresh ingredients like orange peel and chopped onions/carrots, which was a nice touch)! COVID TIP: call ahead to place order or use website to place order and then pay when you get there. They aren't taking walk ins! read more

Came to Groton 6 years ago on a family trip to Mystic, my parents picked up the best Chinese food I've ever had. Came back on my own with a vengeance to find that amazing Chinese. I searched high and low, looked at pictures and reviews, everything. Bottom line, I don't actually know if this is the right joint, but I couldn't care less cause this Chinese food was to die for. Would drive 3 hours again lmao read more

I normally travel into new London to pick up my Chinese food but unfortunately I was hit with covid and needed something to deliver to me. I took a chance and ordered from here despite the reviews. I decided to go with the safest thing possible- Chicken wings w/ pork fried rice and a wonton soup. How could you mess that up, right? $18... plus I added a $3 tip not knowing they included a $2 delivery fee in the total. ‍ $21 for these "wings" Poor little guys looked a little on the anorexic side. Tossed it right in the trash. read more

I really wanted to relax & enjoy some American Chinese takeout. Unfortunately, the pandemic has hit many of the local restaurants hard & I drove to 5 different ones & they were all closed at 8 pm on a Saturday night. I found Chinese First Wok locates next to Planet Fitness. This place has taken the utmost safety & food handling precautions to provide their Chinese food to the public. They created 2 small walk up windows to exchange the food & money to the public. They ask that people call in their order & you can pick up. I ordered a large chicken & broccoli & it was very good. The Vegetables were wok fried & cooked perfectly in a light brown sauce with bones less skinless chicken pieces. The won ton soup was very good with at least 6 large won tons in a wonderful light chicken broth with some chives. The egg roll was very good, stuffed with cabbage & chicken, shrimp. It was slightly sweet which was not the norm. It may have been an anomaly. I will try one again another time. I thoroughly enjoyed all items. All 3 items were $14.75 which Zi thought was pretty reasonable. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely Italy order from here again! read more

Chinese First Wok - Chinese Near Me - Groton, Connecticut

This food was fresh, piping hot and delicious! I got the beef and broccoli and loved it. The crab Rangoon were very good as well!

$25 for a quart of beef & broccoli, a quart of orange chicken, and a pint of wonton soup (which had 4 large wontons) All tasted pretty great - just like you'd expect these dishes to taste, well seasoned, not too salty like some other Chinese take-out. About 25 minutes from online order until delivery. Simple online ordering, but to pay by card you have to enter your credit card number and expiration date in an unsecured "notes" section, then your card number is printed on the invoice that comes with the the delivery driver. They scratch it out with pen, but it's still readable. Hopefully they'll update their website with a secure way to pay with a card. read more

This joint is fantastic. The food is so good, my spicey dish was actually spicey, and had awesome flavor. I'm come here a few times, and I've never been disappointed. read more

Typical American Chinese fare but done well. Pork fried rice is among the best I've had. The waitreß was friendly. Small place can feel a bit cramped but I will be back. read more

Horrible horrible horrible. I ordered sesame chicken with fried rice and an egg roll. This is most definitely not chicken, its 80% fat. The rice tastes like cardboard. I was excited when I saw the other reviews. Extremely dissapointed. Ended up throwing it out and buying a new lunch elsewhere. read more

Typical American-Chinese cuisine, we order from here whenever we're in the mood for it. It obviously doesn't compare to "true" Chinese, or even that on the Hawaiian islands, but for some place on the East Coast? Totally. Portions are a good size, and we always have leftovers for the next day or two. Family loves the crab rangoons, chicken teriyaki, sweet & sour pork, pork fried rice, and lo mein. The turnaround time is super quick and you can just order online and head out on your way to pick it up. No one ever gets headaches or sick from here-- which, if you've eaten Chinese, you know can be a problem sometimes. Super easy to get to, it's right in the Goodwill plaza next to Planet Fitness. Overall, great option for a quick dinner when you just don't feel like cooking. read more

This place stole $62.20 from me. Beware!! I cancelled my order to go to the business myself instead. Even tipped them. They charged me anyways for the cancellation. Stealing my money. Shame on this busines. Don't order here. read more

So I would like to say that after eating Chinese Food in Honolulu there is nothing on the face of the earth that would get 5 stars from me. Just my opinion and everyone has a benchmark to which they measure their favorite foods. With that said Chinese First Wok has many good things about it. One they are fast! Lightning fast! And their Kung Pao Chicken has bamboo shoots instead of celery. The food is good and cheap. I would say it is in the top 3 of Chinese takeout places in Groton and centrally located. read more

We ordered from this restaurant tonight instead of our usual restaurant. This place has delicious food and is worth ordering from. We ordered several appetizers and a combination plate plus a regular size meal. The Szechuan wontons are amazing. I will be ordering from here again. This may be our regular place to order from now on. Thank you so much for making delicious food . read more

Close to home. The food is good, ready quick, and reasonably priced. Don't expect much for sitting down and eating in though, this is more of a takeout / delivery style service with the focus being on that. read more

I don't know what happened during that shut down time but OMG this food is amazing!! New item on their menu, coconut shrimp, is delicious! And their crab Rangoon is so much better now! Love love love this place! Only Chinese food I will order from now in Groton! read more

This food is always Ahhhh-mazing. It took me a while to notice it tucked in next to Planet Fitness, but now I won't order Chinese food ANYWHERE else! It's so fresh, the vegetables are always colorful and vibrant- which is a telltale sign that they are cooked perfectly with a slight crunch. The rice is always perfectly cooked. The steamed dumplings (pork and shrimp) are PERFECT! Not too doughy, and the dipping sauce that comes with them are phenomenal. My boyfriend has had the sesame chicken and general's chicken, and both were perfect! Not too much breading and the sauce isn't too sweet. Everything is always hot, fresh, and perfect! read more

Just okay. Standard take-out Chinese quality for the most part. I really wanted to like the place, but the egg drop soup is the main reason for the three star review. There was so much food coloring that it was literally neon yellow. Like a highlighter. To the point of being unappetizing. I may try it again at some point, but only after working my way through the other area options. read more

This is the best Chinese Restaurant in Groton hands down. My husband and I get takeout from this place at least once a week. Our usual go to is Sesame chicken combination platter with white rice. Amazing!! Always tastes fresh and hot. Every time I go to pick it up it's ready to go, they are so fast and so nice! I also suggest their Crab Rangoon, fried chicken and fried rice. Super delicious and the amount they give you is great for the price. The combination platters are pretty cheap and the lunch specials are basically the same amount as the combination platters and so cheap. Easy place to find and grab food. read more

i hate to be that guy because this place is usually really good but i was eating my egg roll and i looked down and saw this metal shaving piece. i'm not sure if i ate any beforehand so we'll wait it out and see. i called to let them know to check the other food before it goes out and they tried to offer a discount. Just be careful when you're eating. read more

Figured I would order from somewhere other than my usual Chinese Take out Restaurant (Peking Kitchen) and was sadly disappointed. The Crab Rangoon were smaller, Orange Chicken was practically all breading, and they took my order wrong! Made me regret not ordering from my usual place. Will not order again. I ordered the same thing from Peking and payed 3 more dollars and did not get an egg roll, also delivery driver was fast and just looking for a fast tip. Website says "Best Chinese Food in Groton", Fake News to say the least. Do not order unless satisfied with mediocre food for high prices. read more

Ordered the General Tso's chicken with fried rice wasn't spicy at all but it was still good. The rice is also

Good Chinese food at a reasonable price. Sufficient portion sizes. Efficient delivery in a short time. Have got food delivered a few times and never been disappointed. Love their lunch combos n excellent beef dishes. read more

This place used to be the best around. Something changed. I recently ordered boneless spare ribs and chicken fingers. The ribs were mostly fat and the chicken fingers tasted like fish. I'm not sure what happened there, but they need to go back to their old ways. I won't be returning. read more

New owners. Food was way above average. Benchmark of a great Chinese restaurant for me is hot and sour soup, this hot and sour soup blows any competition way out of the water. The eggrolls are full of cabbage and shrimp and pork and carrots without the grease. they're dry but crunchy and delicious. The bone in spare ribs are fall off the bone tender but without the sweet red GUI candy like sauce most Chinese restaurant have on them. The chicken on the stick looks really blackened and dry, but is so sweet and moist and delicious the first bite in it is amazing. read more

Pretty good place. I've never gotten sick nor have I ever gotten anything disgusting or not what I ordered. Staff is quiet but very polite. I looove their lo mein as well as their hot and sour soup. They will also make things spicy or not regardless of what it says on the menu. I usually get things a bit more mild. read more

An awesome place for take out! We ordered online- there's no indication that tells you how long it will take, but we got there 15 minutes later and it was ready. Great prices and great quality food- the lo mein had nice fresh, crunchy vegetables, the dumplings were beef and so good, and sesame chicken was still a little crispy under the sauce, not soggy at all. Will definitely order out from here another time soon! read more

I loved this place! First time eating here. I actually had it delivered. The chicken was wonderful! And unlike other places their white meat was actually white meat. I would definitely be eating at this place again! read more

We haven't visited in several years, but were not happy with our usual Chinese takeout place, so we gave this another chance. I'm glad we did! Overall, the food was fresh and delicious, and the noodles in the lo mein were wonderful, the best I've had in a while. My only issue was with the mu shu chicken, instead of the fresh, tender-crisp veggies, it was mushy and overcooked. It tasted like it was made far in advance and kept warm. Mu shu is one of my favorite dishes, and sadly, this was disappointing. Everything else was really good, and we will definitely go back.....just not for mu shu! read more
