First Wok

Not bad food, but not anything special, either. The bag looked a little rushed in getting put together when it arrived at the door - menu smooshed in and one box was not completely sealed so the other containers were wading in garlic sauce. However, time from order to delivery at door (ordered through GrubHub) was not long. If you need Chinese that is fairly cheap, and you're not particular with flavor, then this is not a bad option.

How do you judge a restaurant? By the consistency and quality of the food they make, by their staff and demeanor, the timeliness of service, and of course, location and cleanliness of the establishment. The ONLY non-star has to do with the space the restaurant occupies and the ventilation issues consistent with oil frying the majority of the food. I never leave without knowing I have been there. THAT said, the food is consistently delicious, the portions excellent - as are the prices for those portions. Been going to New King's Wok for pretty much 10+ years, on average once a month, and not once have they missed an order, made an order that wasn't consistent with the last time I ordered it, or made me wait more than a few minutes. When they say 20 minutes they mean 20 minutes. Best Chinese on the east side. My go-to and I do. Cheers!

This pace has really good food but it's never ready on time. They told me 30 minutes. I showed up 30 minutes later and then waited another 30 minutes. If I had known it was going to be an hour I would've been fine with it. I've worked in restaurants so it get it but not even an apology was offered 😒
