Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it absolutely did! I ordered the vegetarian curry, which was almost $20 from the menu. Expecting different vegetables, I was treated to a fine assortment of bamboo shoots, water, chestnuts, frozen broccoli, and that was it. Being a supposedly tie style curry, it was expected to have a coconut flavor however, this had some sort of curdled/sour/nauseating watery sauce to it. The rice was crunchy. There was no curry flavor to it whatsoever. I do not understand how this place stays in business because the food just keeps getting worse. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, there was one table seated in the restaurant. read more

The service is the same for everyone no matter the age. Which is amazing for teens too. Food is done with perfection for everyone. Kid friendly. The atmosphere gives off the perfect vibe with the theme. Is cooler in here perfect for hotter days. read more

We love ordering from here. Sometimes we choose to dine in. Love their green tea and boba tea. Their broccoli and garlic sauce I adore! The veggie lo mein is also a favorite of mine and the sweet and hot soup. The owners are nice and friendly. The inside is calm and quiet and usually you can have a nice meal and conversation. read more

The food was cold it wasn't that great either and way over priced compared to a lot of other places maybe because it's Ligonier ‍ I honestly don't think they're even open half the time because I think I read on another platform that they open when they feel like it but don't quote me on that lol but seriously the food is not worth the money the little Chinese place in Blairsville is way much better you get a ton of food it's hot and reasonably priced ! Sorry guys but this one just doesn't cut it for me! read more

We always do take out as we live close by. Very good value for money, tasty and well-prepared, and always on time!

The food is always on point and consistent for the many years I've been coming here. The place always feels clean, service is fast and fresh. Connie & Henry are always very welcoming when we come for take out or dinning in. read more

My wife and I live in Ligonier, and regularly eat takeout from First Wok. It is consistently high quality, tasty, and the proprietors are very kind. The food is always ready on time. Our most frequent choices are moo shu pork, cold sesame noodles, hot and sour soup, and fried dumplings, all of which are excellent. This restaurant is a solid asset in an area that otherwise has little decent asian food. (But do visit Tokyo in Latrobe!) My wife and I know good food: we lived in Pittsburgh for decades, we've traveled a lot, and we take our food seriously. First Wok isn't a destination restaurant, but it is a reliable local staple. As I read some of the very negative reviews, I have to believe that either they utterly lack perspective or they had some ax to grind. read more

The short answer is: It's overpriced for being just ok. My girlfriend and I are visiting family and we all decided to go out to dinner. The inside is pretty small but it had plenty of room for the six of us. The decor is pretty dated and nothing to write home about. We each ordered 6 different meals and got extra plates so everyone could try everything. I would list everything we had but nothing really stood out. It was all just ok. read more

Food is always consistent, plentiful, and hot. Never have had a problem with an order. If dining in, atmosphere is nice and clean. read more

Not only is this the best Asian restaurant in Ligonier, it may be the best In Westmoreland County. Small restaurant but huge menu. Chinese, Japanese or Thai, all done really well. Don't miss the Thai Summer Rolls appetizer. Fresh, delicious and a killer dipping sauce make this a great starter. Hot and Sour soup is really tasty too if you want to go Chinese. Large portions on the entrees make the prices a value. We've ordered both from the Chinese and the Thai offerings and always have been pleased. Unfortunately last night they were out of eggplant so I couldn't get the Thai eggplant dish I was hungry for. But the Thai Chicken Basil was a winner too. Service is quick and friendly. Restaurant and restrooms are clean. I haven't tried the sushi yet but I imaged they'll be the same high quality as the others. read more

Great tasting, high quality Chinese food. Probably my favorite hot and sour soup of all the places I've have had it. Friendly owners.

Used to be the best place around but something changed. Food doesn't taste like it used to.

I eat here fairly often. Sure it's not the cheapest place to eat...but it's delicious. If you want cheap food. Head to the buffet. This place is good for a sit down dinner. read more

I am giving it 4 stars because it wasn't amazing or "wowing" like I assumed it to be. Chinese, Japanese, sushi and Thai all served under one garden filled roof. The atmosphere was quite tacky and outdated the food was served quickly! It was a over priced though. $13 for chicken and broccoli and no option to get a smaller portion wasn't cool. I'm sure we will stop back eventually but at least we are prepared for our over priced meals!! The chips and duck sauce were fantastic though! read more

First Wok Chinese Restaurant - Chicken and Broccoli with steamed rice - Chinese Near Me - Ligonier, Pennsylvania

See all

I have to admit...we read the poor reviews prior to ordering from this place, but being the only chinese place around and craving chinese we decided to give it a go. Well just like most of the reviews said we were pretty disappointed. For started we thought it was pretty overpriced specially for how crappy the food was. We ordered take out for lunch and ordering the following; Fried Dumplings: These by far the worst. I have never seen these packaged the way they were. I am used to getting them in our local spot back home which I guess we are spoiled, they pack it in a round or rectangle large container so the dumplings aren't piled on top of each other and the bottoms are crisp and the top of the container is vented. This container was a typical fried rice container and they were all piled on top of each other. One bite was all we could manage. You bit into these and the oil just oozed out, it was really gross. Not to mention for fried dumpling they were really soggy and gummy. Not good at all. General Tso's Chicken: This wasn't absolutely horrible, but definitely not good. The sauce had a very strange flavor, like nothing I have ever tasted before(and not in a good way). I want to say it was like a sweet/sour/burnt and then a slight tart flavor as in tart/sour as if something wasn't good in it(like expired or something). It was really a strange flavor. It had a slight spiciness, and the pieces of chicken were really large, slightly crispy. This sauce was on the oily side. Fried Rice: I'm not sure I would call it fried rice. It was more like steamed rice, with a little bit of veggie and egg thrown in it. And again very oily. One good note the rice was cooked well it wasn't mushy, but that's all it had going for it. Thai Mei Fun: This was honestly the only good thing in the order. It was not great, but it was good. It had pork and baby shrimp in it. The pork was definitely the lowest cut of pork that was way too much cartilage, but otherwise it was pretty decent. It was rice noodles, baby shrimp, pork, cilantro, sweet and light spicy sauce, and crushed peanuts. Again though way over priced. It was about $14. Total this order was around $50 which I thought was ridiculous. Our local spot you could get all this for lunch plus free spring rolls and lunch salads for $30 and the quality would be top notch. I would say you are better off driving the hour into the city of Pittsburgh and getting some real chinese/thai food. For those of you who are going to try it, although we did not try their sushi, we heard numerous neighbors who did and had awful food poisoning, so try at your own risk! read more

I wish I had read the reviews before going in...I gave it 2 stars. One for the food, and one for the staff. They weren't friendly, barely even said hi when we came in (party of 2). We sat for about 5-7 minutes before anyone came to get our drink order. We were the only ones there at this time. We placed our order and the food came out rather quickly. I got the Jungle Curry and I've definitely had better. This place was small and had dusty decor throughout. I had to salt the food, and added a small amount of pepper to give it some decent flavor. Once we finished, the waitress came over and handed us our bill...$9 more than what it should've been. I told the lady about it and her response was "Yeah, that was the lunch menu, I'm so sorry, these are the dinner prices..." ok...well, I've never been here before so I didn't know that. It didn't say lunch anywhere except the back where it had many other (better) options, but because it said "Lunch" only on the back, I assumed it meant we couldn't order from that side. So, we opted for what was on the inside of the menu. She literally wanted to argue with me about it, but because it was the price of another meal, I wasn't backing down. She caved and gave me the prices that was listed on the menu, I paid and walked out. She didn't acknowledge us walking out or anything. They need to figure out how to run this place, apparently. read more

I went to this Chinese restaraunt for craving of Chinese. Being that it is the only Chinese in the area, I tried it out. Needless to say horrible service and portion sizes, way overpriced. I would not recommend coming here for Chinese food. Rice and a small dinner dish is $17. Mediocre and expensive. Save your money are try many other great places in the Ligonier area read more

First Wok Chinese Restaurant - Jasmine tea - Chinese Near Me - Ligonier, Pennsylvania

Takeout review. Super pricey. They charge $13 for the smallest Philadelphia roll I've ever seen. And I didn't get it, but $14 for a bowl of pho? Absurd. The higher prices might be because they're in the small town of Ligonier. It's interesting that they serve Japanese, Thai, and that one Viet dish. They also sell little souvenirs by the door. read more

Visiting from Chicago, where we are spoiled with amazing restaurants, and was thoroughly pleased! The menu provided many options and was vegetarian friendly. I loved it and would highly recommend! read more

Friendly service and hot take out. Great hot and sour soup!

I really enjoy first wok! the servers are so kind and the food is pretty good. i always have good portion sizes and i'm always pleased with my food! I would recommend. read more

My fiancé and I decided to stop here for lunch from the moment we walked in i should have listen to my gut and went somewhere else. Soon as we walk in no one was in site. We final got seated started looking over the menu. $15.95 for sesame chicken and white rice?! Thought thats was very price, got served chips and sweet sauce which was the only good thing I had. The food was out in a minimum of 3 minutes subway takes longer than that. The chicken was very stringy, over cooked and the breading on the chicken was mush. My fiancé ordered Hawaiian chicken served with vegetables, pineapples, oranges. The chicken was the same over cooked and mush and the vegetables were cold as well as the the pineapples and oranges. Also to be refilled with a pitcher that didn't look like it's been clean, I find it appalling to pay $33 for what and to severed. I would be ashamed and would NEVER return to this place again! read more

We came in for dinner. I got "Amazing chicken" which was everything but amazing. The chicken was so tough I couldn't eat it. For $13.95 you figure you'd get a decent sized portion or at least something you can eat... the vegetables were not even blanched I don't think and I may need dental work after having to gnaw on them... the tea was terrible... Next time I'll just lick a toilet seat... read more

The food is good, the service is quick, the prices are reasonable. Some of these poor reviews boggle my mind. Apparently some forks believe the proprietors should work for free. read more

This restaurant sends out really cool vibes. The decor is welcoming, the staff is very helpful and friendly. Their sushi is amazing; I have had sushi from many different places out in Philadelphia, and this place was just as good! Although it is a small establishment, they really put effort into their food. I had the spicy salmon roll and the spicy tuna roll and they were delicious! (Their spicy sauce is SO spicy though, so definitely be prepared; still so good, though!) Oh, and they have a selection of bubble teas, so what's not to love?! Definitely my new favorite spot to grab a bite to eat. read more

Again and again. I bring new friends in and they are hooked. Unfortunately they can't come as often as I since they don't live as close but they always enjoyed it. The best thing about the place is the menu. A great selection of Asian cuisine and i hear they are expanding their place and may offer dim sum soon. One can only hope. read more

We read the other reviews and found this to be a great find for something other than the standard bar fare of Western PA. Service was fast and friendly, the food was delicious. My children devoured the sushi and my husband enjoyed his yellow curry even if it was a bit on the mild side. The prices are a bit high for the area but completely reasonable for sushi. You get what you pay for. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Very small portions for lunch. Ordered noodles and soup for $13.70 not including tip. Pricey for your below average Chinese. Received food and never saw waitress again. I guess the fact that I was the only patron in the place should have been an indication that something was wrong. read more

I have tried this restaurant again. It seemed a little better, brighter, cleaner. Still priced high for what you get. I ordered General Zho's combo. It was mostly breading, One super small shrimp and 4 other pieces of other unidentifiable meat in a WAY WAY too sweet sauce. Hot & Sour soup was just ok. Not hot and not sour, more like a beef broth with a little tofu in it. No mushrooms or other vegetables. :-( read more

The first few years they were open I was a regular, 2-3 times a month. Then they seemed to get a bit inconsistent, in fact due to the last couple of times I hadn't been there in six or eight months but sometimes you just gotta have some Chinese food, so I broke down and ordered some to go this evening. What a disappointment!!! Ordered Gen Tso's pork which was 80% batter and the Lo Mien was overcooked to the point the noodles were mushy and the pork was all on top instead of mixed in with the noodles giving the appearance of a lot of meat. I think complacency has just taken over the place. It's a shame because it used to be very good. read more

the only sushi place in town. staff is nice, owner is sweet, but food is sub par at best. I ordered out quite a few times, to get mediocre sushi or a lunch special that was substituted with celery or broccoli stems for veggies. I know of two people who have had terrible food poisoning from the sushi here. The won ton soup is decent, though. It is hit or miss, honestly. Eating in is okay, I prefer Roboyko in Greensburg or Saga in Pittsburgh. read more

i paid 51$ for what i think wasn't even worth 20. the egg rolls are $2.25 apiece and they are half as long as a normal egg roll you would see at your average 8.50 all you can eat chinese buffet. probably 2in, literally... eating there most certainly makes anyone appreciate the average chinese buffet. im sick i spent what i did for such poor quality and small amounts. there was even fake seaweed on top the sushi which was also extremely over priced for the size. new city buffet in greensburg blows this place out of the water with their quality and its all you can eat for under 10$ or fill up a tray for same price, 4 egg rolls here cost what new city buffet charges for everything and their egg rolls are bigger an better. i wouldn't recommend it for the price. i wish i could comprehend why this place charges so much cause its not even good or big portions. thats just my opinion, and ive ate chinese for years in many states while in the service and this definitely most expensive and probably the worse read more

The restaurant is small and the decor is more Italian than Chinese. I think it is very over priced. I got general tsos, fried rice, and wonton soup. The soup was amazing. The sauce on the General tsos was really thick and a honey type consistency. I also got a can of Mountain Dew for about $3. Highly over priced for a can that costs about $.25 each in a pack of 24 read more

Terrible food. foul smells and bad atmosphere.. however! nice employees if I do say so myself!! ALSO SOOO EXPENSIVE
