    The receipt
    Patricia R.

    I called my parents up and told Mami to get ready as I was picking her up to get some Chinese food by her side of town. She had been asking for some from this new place which still has not opened up yet so I told her we would go to the spot they will once in a bit get dinner from. It was early evening so we drove down, stepped in and placed an order of the shrimp lo mein ($10.25), a pint of chicken lo mein ($7.25) for my brother since he can't eat shrimp, a large boneless ribs order ($10) and crab rangoons ($6). They were all quickly prepared and back to my parents home we went. The shrimp lo mein was decent with tiny shrimp and not too many veggies, the noodles could have been a bit more flavorful. The boneless ribs ($10) were a touch tough and so were the rangoons though that happens to fried dough. It has been a few hours since the meal and the slight aftertaste remains in my mouth which I am not loving. The lady was quick when taking our order and their service was good.

    Decent local Chinese, food is always piping hot and made to order. Anything can be altered to your spice preference. I recommend this spot over others across the street for sure. One of the best egg rolls. Great affordable prices and large portions. BEWARE: they are CLOSED on Tuesdays.

    Supposedly, how special fried rice with ham!
    Kenneth P.

    lowering my rating to 2 stars: For what I used to pay 16.50 somehow magically it's $20 charge to 3.50 for house special and $1 ham I don't see none of those ingredients in my rice maybe one tiny piece of chicken and one tiny piece of pork. I've been here for years, lately I've been getting ripped off. And taken advantage of. The flavor is good but the service is going to shit! I overpaid I'm disappointed. I know a place where my whole meal is $14 with more than enough ingredients and taste way better. I'm going to start going over there.! Sad because I used to consider this place almost 5 stars! Last time I paid one dollar extra pork, they gave me last pork! This is stealing.

    Excellent lunch deals! Not too salty which is greatly appreciated. Lunch choice entree, and egg roll or soup and a soda! Fed me lunch and dinner. Friendly staff. Carry out only of course.

    I haven't written a review in a long time but I had to show support after ordering here. The chicken broccoli I got for a lunch special was perfect, not only that but the portion was huge and the service was great. I've had chicken broccoli from 2 other local Chinese food spots and not only were the portions smaller than at First Choice, but they tasted off too. This chicken broccoli that I got here was a 10/10.

    Lately there has been a lack of good New York style Chinese takeout food in the east Orlando area and places that were once good took a serious nosedive. While there are very good places like Chuan Lu Garden offering a great more upscale Asian food experience, the typical Chinese takeout spot has seemingly all but disappeared. This has had me seeking a good New York style Chinese takeout place and trying the various local options. This restaurant is located in a mall anchored by a Publix supermarket and it is rather plain on the outside a bit run down on the inside. While I awaited my Chinese food, my attention was drawn to a group of four machines, one with gumballs, the other three with cheap trinkets and found myself wondering how old those gumballs actually were. But I digress... So, onto the food... I wish I could say it was good. I also wish wishes came true. Fifty dollars for takeout for four of us and there was nothing good about it. My daughter and I split an order of steamed dumplings. This might have been the worse out of all of our offerings. It tasted like the dough was not fully cooked. It was also bland, which was the one consistent throughout this meal. Bland. The egg roll was terrible. The curry chicken was bland. I upgraded to a fried rice for $2.00 and the rice was dry and, like everything else, bland. The only thing that was halfway decent was the wanton/egg drop mix soup. My search for good New York style Chinese takeout continues.

    Super oily eggplant in garlic sauce
    Enit S.

    Well, this wouldn't be my first choice I'll say that right off the bat. The people working there were unfriendly and looked miserable. I ordered the eggplant in garlic sauce and it was an oily mess (see pic) it had good flavor but why was it drowning in oil? At least the vegetable fried rice was good. When I got home there was no fork, no soy or duck sauce packets in my bag; I was surprised to find a fortune cookie. I'd be reluctant to go back just cause the eggplant was so oily, leads me to believe everything else probably is too.

    As usual, the food is spectacular! So fresh and tasty! Enough food for 2 people to share. Do have to mention the egg rolls are not the same as they use to be. Completely different and disappointing. This is the only negative feedback. I wish they would change them back.

I was disappointed with the steamed oyster as it was well cooked but the taste overall was just not for me. Lobster was also a let down. You could tell it was frozen or not too fresh. The meat was sticking to the shell which is a tell tale sign Overall a stellar meal , I would just avoid some of the dishes above but otherwise it was great

Besides that I really loved the chee cheong fun with xo sauce and the fried shrimp balls. Maybe because we went on a Monday they didn't do the dim sum carts which I love. But then again, the restaurant isn't too big so I feel like they usually don't do the carts. But this is a way to ensure all the food you're getting is fresh though! I do wish the dim sum menu was a little more varied. I feel like a few staples that I normally gravitate towards weren't there. But there was still enough to have a good filling meal.

    I was craving Tasty Wok (again) & decided to order 2 more dishes that I haven't had in years…read more Mandarin Egg Tofu With House Sauce Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce These 2 dishes are HOUSE SPECIALTIES so that means they are known to be unique dishes and delicious. Mandarin Egg Tofu - Egg tofu is very delicious and is similar to silken tofu consistency and this dish is delicious. It has pork strips, enoki mushrooms , mini corn, snap peas, green onions. The egg tofu is fried first and once you bite into it its very tender and silky smooth texture and kind of creamy. This is my favorite tofu. The house sauce is a big brown based sauce. The snap peas seemed a little overcooked losing its bite and crunchy texture nonetheless still a memorable delicious dish. This would be a great vegetarian dish if you opt out the pork strips, Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce - This is usually served or listed on the menu as a rice plate dish. I usually eat this dining in and its a delicious plate entree. They use Swai filets for this dish. For $1 extra you can order it as a dish with rice on the side and you get more fish filets etc separate. This is a lightly battered fish filets fried and topped with house brown sauce with slithers of onions and red / green bell peppers. Of course the brown sauce is black bean sauce so you will see speckles of black beans with the sauce. There are ginger notes as well when you devour this dish. The fish filets are cooked perfectly so soft and tender. The rice served here can be better imo. Perhaps better brand or grain rice? Also ordered my regulars ; Walnut Shrimp, Beef Chow Fun. Walnut Shrimp - Request ordering this (take out only) having the broccoli stored separately. This provides the shrimp dish to not be soggy. I think you get more shrimps this way too. Tasty Wok's walnut shrimp is by far the best in orlando imo - they really seasoned the shrimp itself prior to dressing it with their creamy sauce. The sauce has a tad sweetness to it & some sort of umami. The shrimps are jumbo large sized. You get about 10-12? Shrimps in this dish. I have had my share of tasting this dish at different restaurants and by far Tasty Wok's is by far my favorite. Beef Chow Fun - Another favorite from Tasty Wok. Wok Hei present, Tender seasoned beef thinly sliced, and Tender wide noodles. It was under seasoned salt wise but eating it with their creamy sauce seasoned beef makes up for it. Again, ate my share of Beef Chow Fun at many restaurants and by far Tasty Wok's have been my favorite thus far. They offer free mini tubs of chili oil upon request. Also chopsticks. Tasty wok do not seem busy dining in but they are busy with take out orders.

The staff were friendly and prompt. We came around late lunch and it was picking up after we were seated. The space is wide and has the old traditional Chinese restaurant aesthetics with a slight modernization. You can see all the crispy meats hanging at the front counter like a traditional shop. We ordered the Shrimp Wonton Soup with Egg Noodles. My go-to for comfort food. I've been a customer since college days and they make one of the best shrimp wontons. I know they've tweaked the recipe a little since the shrimp filling used to be ground up, which was better, but it didn't take away from the freshness. The broth is consistently flavorful with fresh greens and egg noodles. I somehow like the texture of the noodles more than the spaghetti size ones. We ordered the Crispy pork Belly and Duck combo which is really well seasoned. Some bites may be a little salty but it balances out with the rice. You can hear the crunch on the pork belly which is my favorite. We also got the Beef Chow Fun. It's wide noodles and cooked with scallions, beansprouts, and white onions. It was cooked over a flame so you can taste a hint of a char which is not overwhelming or greasy. It's the perfect balance to all the items. What I didn't order was the Water Spinach but it is one of my favorite vegetable dishes. You have to try it when it's available! I had hot tea with it and lots of hot chili oil in my dishes! I am happy they have remained pretty consistent in the dishes. Only on a couple occasions it was off but not many times. There's a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. They share it with other popular spots like Haan Coffee, Sampaguita, etc.

It's about a 20 min Uber ride from Epic Universe, and while they close at 10:30, they stop serving dine in customers around 9:30 PM. Fortunately I called at 9:10 to let them know we were on the way, and they told us they'd allow us to dine in. I appreciate that. The menu is pretty big. Prices are really good for the portion and all entrees come with rice. Can't beat that. I didn't see any noodle soups on the menu but I saw on Yelp someone had a duck noodle soup so we asked if this was offered. They said they could do it. The broth and noodles were good but the duck tasted a little old. We eat a lot of duck so we're kind of picky, but I think for most people, this would be just fine. We also ordered the honey walnut shrimp, mongolian beef, and beef chow fun. The shrimps were really big, lightly battered, but they smothered the dish in that mayo sauce lol Once you wipe off some of the mayo, it's pretty good though. I loved that they served this with steamed broccoli cause greens ya know? And they offered a good amount of walnuts for that crunch. The mongolian beef was delicious and while there were a lot of onions, there was also a lot of tender beef. The flavor was good, not too sweet, not too salty, and not spicy either, despite all the dried peppers. Beef chow fun was a hit. You can really taste the smoky wok hei flavor which makes it authentic. The beef was tender, the ho fun noodles whole and intact. Paired with their chili oil, so good! The chili oil is upon request only, they don't leave it on the table. Be warned, it does have a nice heat to it!. Service was prompt and courteous. For $71, we were able to have a quick, tasty dinner for 3.5 people (3 adults, one 5 year old). Can't beat that.
