Best American Chinese food I've found in Michigan!! This place is pretty much only take out- it's quick, cheap, portions are huge and it's so delicious. My favorite is the sweet and sour pork, chow mein, egg rolls, orange chicken and Mongolian beef. One order of food can feed at least 3 people. It's delicious, a great family owned business!! read more

The woman who gave me my food was very nice and asked me if I needed cutlery for my food, which is not something that happens that often. The general toss was amazing, but more than that...for the price I had enough food to eat for 3 meals!! It was so good. Very worth the price. Look forward to going back. read more

First Wok - No19. General Taos Chicken Combo Plate - Chinese Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

See all

HORRIBLE customer service. We placed an order 2 hours in advance and they waited until we called about it to tell us that they couldn't fulfill the order. And then, when we asked questions, the woman on the phone kept talking over us and blaming us for ordering through DoorDash. No food, no ambiance, just a bad experience from start to finish. Never coming back here. read more

I ordered orange chicken and chow mein what I got is dried noodles and big pieces of breast chicken that were fried literally huge, big as a hand read more

I have ordered from 1st Wok many times. The food was always good and fresh tasting. Until today I ordered Almond Boneless Chicken, Egg Drop soup. The wontons for the soup smelt like they had been fried in old oil. smelt the same when I opened the Chicken. All the food tasted as if it was left over from yesterday and they just heated it up. It was at 4:30 so not the end of the day. I will be looking for another restaurant to order from going forward read more

I was looking for a Chinese restaurant. I used YELP to help me find one. After looking at many restaurants, I saw and read that 1st Wok had good reviews so I decided to go there. Now, my first impression of 1st Wok was a hesitant one. It's not set in the best of plazas. There closed businesses that surrounded them. I didn't know if I should get out of the car but I did. When entering the establishment again I was hesitant. It's not the best looking restaurant. Definitely needed a paint job. There were 3 booths for dining in but they were taken up by supply boxes, one of their kids was watching their tablet and the other booth had a child sleeping in it. I hadn't planned on eating there anyway. There was a customer there waiting for their meal. I asked him if he came here often and he said yes with no hesitation. He said the food was good. Ok. The woman behind the counter was very nice. I asked questions about the food, especially the ABC, Almond Boneless Chicken, a specialty in Michigan Chinese restaurants and she answered every question with pleasure. I ordered the ABC combo which consisted of chicken fried rice, almond boneless chicken, a chicken/pork egg roll & chicken flavored gravy. The price was reasonable. When I got home and opened the foam container there was so much food I couldn't believe it. Definitely worth the price. Now, how does it taste. The egg roll was a little different. Crunchy on the outside with a different consistency on the inside but tasty. I've never had a chicken/pork egg roll before. It was bad. I had asked for plain fried rice instead of chicken fried rice and that's what I got. It was a mountain of rice, enough for 3 or 4 people!! WOW!! There had to have been a least 10 pieces of crispy chicken with green onion pieces on top. Again, enough for 3 people. The gravy, though different to me was very good on top of the chicken and rice. This was an excellent meal. I ate this combo dinner for 3 days in a row and every day I ate it was a treat. Tasted like day one. Overall..... The Almond Boneless Chicken (ABC) combo meal was really good and tasty, all 3 days!! Despite the dingy environment, I'm going back to try something else. Maybe beef pepper steak this time. Give 1st Wok a try. The ABC is really good!! Peace and Good Food read more

Great food and service! Kind employees! You get a ton of food!! Highly recommended!!! read more

Yum, yum, yum. I love this Chinese. We have always gotten take out. Two of my families favorite dishes are the beef fries rice and chicken egg foo young. The beef fries rice is because it's made with real beef and good quality beef. It's really flavorful. Not just brown color rice. The chicken egg foo young is super flavorful. The dish being made with bean sprouts is often very bland when I try it at other restaurants but never the case here. Two thumbs up. read more

I'm giving a cautious five stars only because we have only tried this restaurant once on 12/19/2023 and we only ordered a quart of wonton soup and four of the spring rolls. While we still prefer the wonton soup from New Great Wall (sadly the owners retired and closed the restaurant), the wonton soup from First Wok is a close second and the spring rolls were quite good in our opinion. The owners were so nice and having their children there we thought was a great thing as well. It's a very small place but the price was excellent and we look forward to trying some of their other dishes. I will update the review after we try it again. We would definitely say give it a try! read more

Amazing food great portions ! Service is quick always ready for pick up. And it's hot

This is in a strip mall next to CVS. Overall it offers great value. Service: Friendly. My order was ready in 15 minutes. Food tasted fresh could have been a bit more flavorful. They only have a few booths for dine in customers. I saw a sign at the entrance that shows weekday's lunch combo (Chicken dishes only) for $5. I would come back again.... read more

This isn't a fancy place, and like others have mentioned, it's mostly carry-out. But the food was good and the portions were generous. I had General Tso's, which had a sauce which wasn't quite as dark or as spicy as I'm used to, but it was good. The chicken was tender and didn't have too much breading. I don't think it was double fried, but it was decent. The rest of the food was pretty good, too. Was it something that knocked my socks off? No. But it was solid and about what I expect for Chinese food that I'm willing to eat. We will try this again. read more

For a walk in walk out Chinese restaurant, great food! Almond Boneless Chicken is fresh and crisp with great flavor, sauce is amazing and isn't brown crap looking like other Chinese places. Mix Wonton egg drop soup is amazing, the wontons are moist and flavorful and the egg drop soup actually has large pieces of egg and does not disappoint. Fried rice is great and has pieces of chicken in it, but lacks any veggies or egg in it. Overall, if I could get more veggies or egg, I'd have my new favorite place for fried rice. Only thing I can knock this place down on is maybe not completely understanding english. Will try more food from here again. read more

First Wok - Mix wonton egg drop soup with actual pieces of Egg! Love it! - Chinese Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

This used to be our favorite local Chinese restaurant. Everything they make is good. But they don't have curbside pickup, and while waiting to go in to pickup an order I called in, my husband saw customers - one who walked over in scrubs from David Dental in the same plaza, WITHOUT MASKS, indoors, with an airborne virus. My husband called me, freaking out: "I can't go in there! It's small, and people without masks!" We canceled our order. I should note that one of the worst aerosolizing procedures is teeth cleaning, so I would NOT want to be anywhere that an unmasked dental clinic worker has been breathing. UGH. As my husband watched, more unmasked people came in. It's easy to stop: don't let them IN. Put a table outside the door like other carry-out restaurants, where people can pay by putting their money or card in a basket held by the masked/gloved employee, then get their order, put it on the table, and step back. But indoors, with an airborne virus? Not safe. Not safe at all. It's so sad. read more

On the flip side, utter disappointment. Dishes meant to be spicy were sweet. The fried rice had no flavor and we won't be back.

First time here and my order was on time and hot and fresh. I ordered my entree, steamed, and it was cooked perfectly. The hot and sour soup could be a meal by itself. Lots of chicken and tofu. Better than expected. read more

Was looking for a good Chinese restaurant since we moved to this side of town in February. Finally found the place. First Wok has very good food and I highly recommend it. Unfortunately they were not open on Thanksgiving so we had to try a different place and it was disappointing. Just reinforces my statement that First Wok has great food! read more

Questionable chicken in fried rice. Weird soft texture in cubes. Did not taste or feel like chicken. The rice over all had good flavor once picking "chicken" out! read more

Very large portions and food was served hot for carry out. Great customer service and fried rice was yummy.

Very good food. Consistent quality. Friendly staff each and every time. Ordered a carry out from there tonight.

The owners were very polite, maybe I came on a bad day when there was an inexperienced cook, some of the items taste like oil, and bland. I've never seen shrimp fried rice where the rice was dark brown, and it's not brown rice, not sure if they put the soy sauce in it. Although the chicken was fresh, I wont go back. read more

Wow! We have been so disappointed with the five or six Chinese places in this immediate area. We ordered one dinner of almond boneless chicken to split, and I think we ate only 2/3 of it. There were large thick pieces of white chicken with light breading, and it was fantastic. The fried rice wasn't very warm, but that's easy to remedy when you get carry out. This place is a keeper read more

This is possibly the best and cheapest Chinese food you can get, the entrees are excellent and the crab rangoon is made to order. I love all the items on the menu and will continue to eat here read more

This is by far the BEST Chinese restaurant in the area. Have had several dishes and have never been disappointed. I am a regular carryout customer. Food is prepared quickly and is very good. Portion sizes are very generous. The Hot and sour soup is made to order and is Excellent! Food is very tasty and very fresh. read more

Literally the best Asian food I've had in Macomb county, I've tried their competition and they should just bow down on their knees. For takeout, their prices, and their portions, and their quality, we should all be on our knees thanking the Creator that they even exist. I can't move out of state, because there isn't a 1st wok in other states. I love this place so much, that I would trust them to raise my child. If you haven't eaten at 1st Wok, you haven't lived, you are dead, go order first woke, life changing experience read more

Realy good food, portions could be a little bigger, but Im a big eater very freindly people, a family member told me that " this is probably the best almond chicken I ever had ". it is good, read more

Best Chinese food in the area, hands down. This place was recommended to me by a friend about three months ago. Wish I had known about them nine years ago when we first moved in. So good! Portions are HUGE. Plus, you have to love a place that gives you your almond boneless chicken gravy on the side without even having to ask. No one likes soggy chicken, right? read more

First Wok - Almond boneless chicken combination ... There are THREE pieces of chicken in there! - Chinese Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

By far best sweet and sour chicken in the area for take out. Shrimp fried rice is also awesome. Moved 12 miles away, but still willing to drive the distance for delicious food read more

Yes this place is mostly geared for carry out orders - But, you will find that the food is outstanding and the best in town.... As they say do not look at the cover of the book but, venture inside and see the hard work that the chef will perform to make sure you are 110% satisfied. He works hard but has this done unlike other chefs ... He has the touch which is why this place get's a high 5 !! You will not be disappointed. Lou read more

Love it. They run specials with all lunch chicken dishes being $5 and everything is delicious. Have missed them with them closed celebrating Chinese New Year. Whenever I call, they greet me by name which is something I enjoy in a local place. Highly recommend. read more

This is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area. While they do offer 2 booths for dine- in, it's really more geared for carry out. The food is reasonably priced and is quite good! They also will make items that are not on the menu... Added bonus! This is a must try - it doesn't disappoint! read more

This place deserves your attention. Prices are average and the food is excellent. I prefer these eggrolls over all others around the area. The ABC is wonderful, not greasy at all. The Sweet and Sour, Generals Tso's, and Sesame Chicken are all great. If I had one complaint, the Chicken Fried Rice is sometimes rather dull... it needs more flavor sometimes. But all in all, it's much better then any other place around. read more

Great deals on food and a very friendly staff, one of my favourite restaurants.

This was the worst dinner that I have ever had. I don't know how this place is still in business. Have you seen the chicken in the chicken fried rice? It's like cubes of lunch meat that have been sitting out for days. That's not even the worst part. I could go on for hours about how disgusting this place is. Save your self the trip and go somewhere else. read more

This is an incredible little gem! Don't let the great prices fool you... Everything is made to order and we love their takeout. Family owned and operated... Which is the backbone of our country! This is the only local Chinese restaurant that we go to! We have never been disappointed. The portions are very generous and the food is fantastic read more

Very good even though the food was served in Styrofoam containers. 3 tables, more of a carry out place. I'll be back.

Always really good quality, plentiful and tasty. Nice family and great service.

I moved up the street a few months ago and I've been here several times since. I'm not a huge fan of the entrees that I've tried but their egg rolls and shrimp fried rice are amazing, its what keeps me coming back. The food is always hot and fresh and ready for me when I arrive to pick it up. read more

This is the 3rd Chinese Restaurant I've tried in the Sterling Heights/Clinton Township area. The restaurant uses good quality ingredients (better than the other restaurants I've tried in the area). The sauces and final product is average. I have read the reviews prior to trying this establishment.... The reviews were 5 stars... The 5 star ratings (I perceive) were over stated..... After eating the product, I'm surprised how middle of the road the food tasted. The owners / family making the food are very nice and their English made it easy to converse and order my dinner.... I've had much better in family Chinese restaurants (Royal Oak/Ferndale). I will continue to search for a 5 star quality Chinese Restaurant in Sterling Heights/Clinton Township. Thank you First Wok for your efforts and hope the overall quality improves. Please keep using high quality ingredients. read more

Super yummy food!! Ordered won ton soup, almond chicken and sesame chicken, all delicious. It's hard to find a good Chinese place anymore. Will be returning!! read more
