It was just ok. Ordered take out. It was very efficient but didn't really satisfy. The order was fully correct. read more

Crab Rangoon's good be more filled. Some chicken dishes are dry and could use more veggies.. but for the price, everything else has been great. I've been looking for egg rolls that aren't filled with cabbage but more of the ones that are filled with pork and bean sprouts with plum sauce. read more

First Wok - Chinese Near Me - Portage, Indiana

Cook handling raw shrimp, beef & chicken with bare hand then wiping on shirt. This can be cross contamination. Also they messed up our order. We walked in and watched the mishandling of the meats. We got home before we realized that one of our entrees was incorrect. First time, last time. read more

Some of the best Chinese I had. Place was clean, food was fresh. I will drive from chesterton to go here.

Go someplace else. I got crab rangoon that was normal size but the amount of filling would have filled a thimble; maybe. When I mentioned this to the counterperson they just kind of said "Oh" and walked away. I paid for a full order of crab rangoon and I got a thimble full of filling and some overcooked pastry, or whatever it is they use to make it. It was like inedible. The potstickers were just floating in grease. The filling was good but they were just floating in grease. It was gross. Hot and sour soup? Well it's hot. That's about all I can say. Just go to New Hong Kong. Much better food. read more

We ordered delivery on New Year's Day. Order taker was very friendly. Delivery took a bit longer than expected, but it was well worth the wait! Sesame chicken and egg rolls are top notch. Beef fried rice was excellent as well. Will definitely order again! read more

First Wok - Sesame chicken with fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Portage, Indiana

First of all, the old reviews are just that. This place was spotless upon ordering takeout. Very good, fresh food! Very friendly folks working. Glad I gave it a try! read more

Great staff always friendly, orders are quick and food is always great, one of my favorites places for take out in portage!!! Will not disappoint!!! read more

Just ate some take out--the food was not good at all. Flavor, texture, freshness..none of it was good. Chicken Lo Mein noodles were way over cooked--kinda mushy; veggies were chewy and i had to spit them out. crab rangoon seemed unfresh , just warm, shriveled and barely any filling. All the food left a wierd after taste. Wish i would have read these reviews before ordering. I only took a few bites and couldn't continue. Hope i dont get ill after eating this food. read more

Love this place. We have been ordering for years. Delicious food and great prices. Their soups are delicious. They are always friendly and delivery is quick. Always will be my first choice! read more

Everything from the general tsos Chicken, The steam dumplings and, and even the egg rolls, everything is made from scratch. It is like eating home cooked meal. read more

Definitely some of the worst, if not the worst, Chinese food I've ever had. The noodles were bland and over cooked, and the rice was also over cooked and dry. There are far better options for Chinese food in the area at similar prices. I highly recommend that you get takeout from elsewhere. Also, as other reviewers have stated, the owner is extremely rude. Some of the worst customer service I've ever had. read more

My family and I order delivery from here frequently. The food is always so good! Our orders are always made correctly, and customer service is always good! read more

There is no pretension about this place, that's for sure. The dining area looks like a crappy employee break room. The food? I think that it is quite good. When in for pickup, I enjoy watching them make everything fresh, in full (side) view. My favorites include the shrimp lo mien and crab Rangoon. The delivery service is very, very good. Prompt, accurate & accommodating. I live in between cities.. Portage phone number and Chesterton address. To most restaurants east and west, it may as well be Siberia. But First Wok makes the trip every time. The guy that usually delivers (I think he drives a Subaru?) is very nice. Lastly, I'm closing in on triple digit visits... So I just do not understand all of the bad reviews posted... The place is good enough to consider opening a Second Wok. read more

I went in to pick up lunch before work a few days ago to find myself stuck behind 4 ladies who had never been to a Chinese Restaurant, or at least it appeared that way. One made a joke about me thinking I'd get in and out quickly, but didn't know I'd be stuck behind them. After what seemed like forever for them to order, the guy behind the counter took my order. I tossed a tip in the tip jar and stood to the side so another customer behind me could order. My food came super fast and when it was handed to me the guy behind the counter said, "sorry for the wait". The ladies looked surprised that my food came before there food did. Now, onto the food. The egg roll was awesome and the rest of my lunch was really good, too. I can't believe I waited so long to try this place. I'll be stopping in again too pick up lunch and dinner. read more

PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!! I came here and ordered boneless pork with chicken fried rice and an eggroll. The pork was completely awful. Dry and rubbery old meat reheated is what it was. The chicken fried rice was plain and had no flavor. The eggroll was nothing but cabbage and was fried in the fish oil vat because it tasted like fish. I tried to get my wife to try some and she spit it out. And I paid almost 10 bucks for it. Do not waste your money here. Avoid at all costs! Trust me you'll be glad you did. read more

I would pick up food every week here until today. Food always tasted great. But after seeing that cook drop the spatula on the floor and pick it back up like it was nothing as continue to use it IM OUT! read more

This place is okay, went here because I was hungry while driving home from Chicago. I had the orange chicken and fried rice. The rice just looked like a dirty yellow brown color but tasted okay, still couldn't bring myself to eat more than a few bite because of the look. The orange chicken was nothing special either, it didn't taste fresh and I should have known better when I saw the cook grab a portion of fried chicken from a huge bowl that did not look like they make sure to keep it with in time temp control standards. I gave them 2 stars because of the surprisingly hot cashier. read more

I usually order from Beijing which is not far from this place. I wanted to try a different restaurant for dinner. HONESTLY I've called many places to order food in the past. I never left a review but this one everyone needs to know how bad this place is. YES!!!!! with one phone call. THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE RUDEST AND WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE/BUSINESS read more

Kk, (clears throat) This place honestly sucked. Rice bland, everything overcooked and bland. Never again. They need new cooks, this ain't real Chinese food. read more

I would give less than one star if it was an option. Management is RUDE! They do not admit when they are wrong and just try to get a replacement on a delivery....haha if they don't think you deserve it they will try to beat down your door and throw your wrong food at your door! Food is not good enough to put up with that!!! read more

Gave me a stomachache. Overpriced food and the place is dirty! The shrimp were all different colors. Some were pink and some were gray. The fact that there is food laying out in the open is so gross. There was a giant pile of breaded chicken sitting on the counter in the kitchen. I won't be back. read more

Please don't order from these people they need to learn some humility and respect every phone call they are ghetto and disrespectful and they spit in the food constantly drop the spatulas pick it back up and put it in the food as if it never dropped if I could give them -1 stars I would read more

I came here on my lunch break once and ordered the chicken curry. I have to say it didn't taste bad, but wasn't on par with the chicken curry that I had at other places. They did prepare my food in a timely fashion and the service was really good, but I thought the food itself was totally average. I work in portage and there aren't a ton of restaurants around so I will probably come back again. read more

This place is delicious! it's close to my place. They have great fast service. You can watch them make the food right there when you order it. read more

Worst Chisese food ever. Beef and chicken dishes were under cooked. I called First Wok, waste of time . I was bounced around from one employee to another. read more

Awful smelling food my shrimp really smelled like urine I'm assuming it's expired. Very rude service.

There's not many Chinese places in Portage that deliver so thats a positive. Ordering over the phone is really easy and delivery has always been amazingly fast. I've ate here for years now and have nothing bad to say about them at all. The sweet and sour chicken is good, the egg rolls are good and the vegetable delight is amazing. Their food is more "real" and homemade than Panda Express' ever will be. You can actually watch them cook their orders (in general) because of the open floor plan. They do alot of business; so that should reflect positively on them. Obviously this is not gourmet food- but it is good and i do recommend it. read more

Delivery driver cruising around over a half hour with our order put the cold 2 liter in with the warm food. Our $60 plus order was not warm upon arriving so called the store to be hung up on by the clerk at the phone! Called back asked for a manager said no manager was in. Won't be ordering again. read more

Liked this place a lot...service was blazing fast! We are in town from California and found this place to be totally acceptable...kept it safe-Fried Rice, sweet and sour Chicken, and Low Mein. No complaints what so ever! Can't really eat there, because it's small...I do feel bad for these guys however, because Panda Express is on it's way, but if your looking for some seriously fast, CHINESE food go here. read more

We've been eating here since we've moved out here to Portage almost 3 years ago. Great food, quick service, and friendly staff... Why not keep coming back?! My girlfriend is a vegetarian, and the staff has been more than accommodating making her custom dishes for her dietary needs. I would definitely suggest this place to others. read more

I go to this place only when jade garden is closed. The general Tso's chicken is edible, but definitely not the best. The egg rolls I won't order again. read more

Food's not bad, I would eat it again but nothing special. The fried rice is just strange and really dull. It appears to be white rice fried in soy sauce? It did it's job, no real complaints minus the fried rice. read more

If your looking for out of the box, out of the freezer Chinese and you just really don't feel like going to the grocery and cooking it for yourself, why not order from here? Don't get me wrong the food wasn't terrible-- for what it is. But, are there no good Chinese food restaurants in Portage? I was expecting REAL sweet-n-sour sauce, not some sauce from a bag! The plain white rice was fine... hehe. You guys need a make over--change to fresher, hand made foods, and if you have to raise the price--people will still come if the food is 'quality'! read more

I just took my Last Wok at First Wok........Food sucked bad Jade Garden is the best in Portage. I mean the egg rolls and fried rice are god awful. I wouldn't feed my dog that garbage read more

Quick review- -Good service -Quick -Not cheap -The food was pretty awful. My wife didn't think you could screw up Chinese. Egg foo young was OK. Cashew chicken was bland. Sweet and sour chicken tasted like rubber. read more

Too bad I can't give no stars. Stuck in the travel inn - CR England lots of people come through here.... I ordered delivery stated specifically that I do not eat the sauce served with the dish and to please provide extra soy sauce. Didn't get anything. I call back and the witch that answered said I'm not obligated to give you anything- oh well. This is what you get when people think YOU ARE obligated to patronize them. It's sad and sorry that people treat other human beings that way. Keep your coins and go to Shenanigans next door people. read more

Wow! I went in Monday July 10, 2017 and what a completely rude person waited? on me- even worse than normal !! I have been in here several times without EVER having anyone that works there be pleasant or EVER say Thank You. Never ! But this time this man was so rude and even what i would call nasty !! Also The sweet & sour chicken I ordered was I believe left over from the precious day ( I went in shortly after they opened) because it was hard & the inside chicken? was dried up and unchewable !! I believe I will take my business back to Jade Garden from now on where they know how to treat people !! No wonder the place was completely EMPTY !! read more

This is SUCH a shame but if you are looking for quick Chinese in Portage, I urge you to keep driving right on by First Wok. Ordering over the phone without a menu went surprisingly well. Food was ready upon pickup and actually tasted pretty good. However, leftovers the next day went SO wrong when what I thought might have been a sliver of pork bone WASN'T. Let's just say that judging from the size of this winged bugger -- it lived long and ate well. Sure it could be a fluke. But, really, do you want to take the chance? read more

Ordered from this spot twice. First time wasn't that great and the second time was no good either. Figured I'd give them a second chance but the food is just bland and VERY greasy. Beef and broccoli I got was OK but the fried rice and egg roll were just disgusting. I'd rather go to the frozen aisle or just not eating at all before I eat from this place again! read more
