    Steak that's in the beef fried rice.

    I have ordered here before and notice that the last few times the food quality had changed and that the service was not so good. So, I decided to order something simple.. Beef fried rice, how could you mess this up. Opened the container and the beef was white. Seemed concerning to me so I went back. I explained that I was concerned about the beef being white and was immediately approached by the manager with attitude and told unless sauce is on it won't have color. The manager kept saying it's steak, well in all my years I never seen white steak. Again, with concern of getting sick I asked for a refund, but the manager kept saying you have to get something else. Anybody in their right mind wouldn't want any food at this point. She wanted to go back and forth and I said I don't want to argue. Very unprofessional. I will never go there again. What type of meat are you really serving First Wok?

    Crab Rangoon was hot and not bad. For just under $15 I got the crab rangoon and teriyaki chicken. The chicken was hot but entirely completely average. It was just chopped chicken with a couple broccoli florets and a soy sauce flavored sauce. It wasn't really sweet or teriyaki at all. The crap food matches the dirt cheap prices though so if that is what you're after...

    I ordered the fried crab sticks appetizer on Sunday, June 4th to find that they had been battered, and deep fried in the cellophane PLASTIC covering! I had taken a bite and noticed that I was chewing on something that didn't feel right in my mouth. Upon discovering the crab sticks were cooked in plastic, I returned to First Wok. The manager informed me that they would not refund my purchase, ($6 Bucks & 25 cents) and offered a "new" order of the sticks, to which I declined. (Why would I order another batch of that? huh?)..anyway, they gave me 3 egg rolls in the place. The egg rolls were limp, not crunchy, flavorless and bland ( I can't think when I've ever had a bad egg roll)....anyway I wanted to post this, so Buyers Beware!

    Quality of food has really gone downhill. Shrimp Fried rice tasted old.Then they have the nerve to charge extra for Soy Sauce.

    They are the best when it comes to Chinese in the Euclid area. Always fresh and quick in making up your orders.

    I have to admit, I am not a big Asian foodie. There are certain items I am familiar with and enjoy…read morevery much. Unlike most other cuisines, with which I am extremely adventurous and not only willing, but look forward to trying new things and experimenting. I am a bit timid with Asian cuisine. I find it a bit challenging to navigate their typically extensive menus. Based on a recommendation from a foodie I hold in high regard, we went to "Han Chinese Kabob & Grill" last night. I was informed it is a small establishment so we called for reservations. We were told they do not take them and to be assured of a table we should arrive early. So we showed up before 6pm to a basically empty restaurant. We were seated quickly by a pleasant young woman that spoke no English at all. When we ask a question she went off right away to find our server for help. Within the next 15 minutes the dining room went from empty to full like someone had thrown a switch. It remained that way the entire time we were there. Very soon a wonderful young woman arrived at our table. She provided water, answered several questions, and took our orders. She was very pleasant and professional. I ordered an excellent brown sugar milk tea along with a great cucumber salad and marvelous lamb chops. Some of the meatiest chops I have ever had. Just about everything is available with any level of heat you desire. I am typically very reserved when it comes to spicy foods. I find it hides the true flavors of the ingredients so I always order with no heat. My entire meal was prepared perfectly. My wife and our guests felt the same way about their selections. There was plenty of food to take home for another meal. Our final surprise was when we received our bill and discovered how affordable it was to eat so well. We had an excellent experience and enjoyed our stay very much. We will definitely return.

I have been coming to this restaurant in many variations, owners and names, but it still remains consistently delicious and authentic. The decor is so moms, non existent really, there are menu pictures on the wall, Payne Avenue is always under construction or lacking enough storefronts but I will always come home to eat. The egg drop soup, I know it's simple, but it's full of yolk and large pieces of egg, especially if you hit it with white pepper for an extra punch. The beef with spicy green beans are full of flavor, tender and the best I town. The pan fried noodles, tonight we ordered 2 different variations, veggie full of s variety of mushrooms and the seafood full of Chinese broccoli l, shrimp, scallops and garlic, the perfect consistency of crunchy with a little bit of saucy noodles. A visit is never complete without dim sum, shrimp rice roll will always be my all time favorite. I never remember to take pictures, we are too busy laughing and eating to have our phones out.

We ordered the rare beef noodle soup, a dish with spicy fish, and a clay pot brisket dish. Rare beef noodle soup: (3/5) This dish came with sliced rare beef, onions, bean sprouts, noodles, veggies, and a few other things. The soup was kind of bland and the beef portions were kind of small. The noodles were also average. Spicy fish dish: (5/5) It was indeed spicy and the fish and vegetables were delicious. The fish was tender and had a nice texture unlike some other restaurants that just heat things up in a bag. Brisket clay pot: (5/5) The brisket was super tender and tasty. The vegetables and radish that came with it also had a nice flavor. I know few restaurants that can make this dish as good as this one. Service: (4/5) Our server came to refill water frequently and checked in on us. Ambiance: (3/5) It was nice and quiet since we came close to closing time. One of the employees was eating in the back. The interior was clean though the bathrooms were kind of wet and they had no paper towels and had a moldy hand dryer. Just so you know, they don't have hot tea for free.
