I did love this place until about one year ago when I came back from South and North Carolina and I did order my favorite plate in this restaurant...4 seasons. I spoke to the adorable lady(not her fault) that I ate in South Carolina the same plate as well in North Carolina but nobody cook this plate like them here in Southampton. I also told the adorable lady to charge me 15 dollars instead of 12 and something. Well, for some reason the cook made my food miserable full of MSG that I could not eat the food. I just trash it and I did try to control myself because I was really mad. When I am mad the best thing I have to do is not go back because I can be very uneducated do to the madness and I did not go back because that sweet lady did not deserve it...she is a great woman. I saw her reaction when I told her to charge more than the price. I wish to go back because I really miss that food but I know that now maybe the cook spit in my food after read this rate. Please, I am not against the adorable lady. I know she is a very good Chinese woman but the cook is a very bad man who puts a lot of salt without dissolved in my food that I just trashed it because I take pills for hight blood pressure and if I eat that food who knows if I could have a stroke or heartattack. Forgive me adorable lady, I know it was not your fault but if the cook is not your husband he deserve to be fired.He tried to poison me with a lot of...
Read moreOverall, if I could, I would have given this place 3.5 stars.
First Wok is a family-owned and run, store-front, Chinese takeout of the typical American variety.
The owners are quite friendly and helpful. This is what is best about this place.
The food itself is pretty middling and what you would expect from an establishment like this. It's not bad, especially from a budgeting perspective! With that in mind, it's a great deal! Still, it's not great if you are in the mood for authentic Chinese food.
For example, the Sesame Chicken lunch plate, at $5.75 was a bargain. There were a number of fried chicken chunks in the meal, but the sauce was an unnatural color and way too sweet for my taste. The fried rice was a step up over competitors in this category. Still, it was acceptable rather than good.
The Shrimp Lo Mein, at $5.70, had a reasonable number of shrimp and chewy noodles, but the sauce was a little bland while also being salty? It would've been nice if it were more complex in flavor.
Finally, the Pan Fried Dumplings were small compared to others in the area. This left them a little dried out and chewy despite the flavor still being acceptable.
Overall, it wasn't a bad experience but I can't say it was good enough that I'd go back. Regardless, I'm sure it would satisfy other folks who like this variety of...
Read moreWe normally love the food but last night, not so much. I know with Covid it's a crazy time but I'd rather wait 25 mins for food rather than get in 10 and it was all over done :( the egg rolls were over friend, broke all apart at 1st bite and dry inside...the boneless ribs all fatty skimp pieces, the veg lo mein was minimal and no taste, no coloring upon opening and seeing noodles so I knew before first bite... Disappointed but I think they are just rushing to keep people happy. Slow down..it's ok to make us wait for food. I'll def be back but won't be til things are more normal and supplies/food can be used to make proper food and proper portions. Stay safe....
