big portions & cheap price: I didn't know much about this place until a co worker told me about it. I also found out that my girlfriend really enjoys this place too. I have had a lot of great meals out of here and I enjoy there crab Rangoon. They also have hot & sour soup that's good. I like the sweet & sour chicken as they give you quite a bit to eat. All in all this is a Chinese carryout place worth checking out. You can dine in also although I noticed that the dining area can sometimes be a little dirty. read more

First Wok - Lunch special fried rice, sweet n sour chicken, crab ragoon (came with 2) - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

This was our first time to carry-out from First Wok. Great! The food was made with FRESH ingredients and excellent flavors. No mystery-meat or squishy shrimp! The crab Rangoon was delicious and not too sweet. We will return. read more

Slightly disappointing food, with a mix of good and bad bites of chicken. Their egg rolls tasted frozen, their spicy mustard wasn't good, and my husband had to cover his fried rice in soy sauce in order to eat it. Cheap food, run of the mill takeout Chinese. read more

They don't have Chinese vegetables! Their vegetables are zucchini, broccoli, and carrots! Where are the snow peas and baby corn? Maybe a water chestnut for a little crunch. Who puts zucchini in Chinese food anyways. Yuk. read more

There meals can be a hit or a miss, but i am a fan of the daily lunch specials. The orange chicken is a good meal and I do love the crab rangoon. read more

Order from here a few times now. And what I will say I've ordered delivery all of those times and Wow same guy has delivered it. And He is always here before the given delivery time. And So steaming hot. I had to let it cool for a few minutes before enjoying their delicious food. read more

I was impressed as I walked into the restaurant, that the kitchen was open, and looked like a Chinese restaurant that you would walk upon in the streets of Downtown Chicago or NYC. The sesame chicken portion was double, what I was expecting. It was near perfection and exceeded my expectations. The fried rice was moist and well-balanced. The price was fair, but could deter folks before they even try the food. The folks of Bloomington are lucky to have this restaurant, too bad I was only passing through. read more

My favorite chinese quick food. I eat here atleast once a week. Love the boiled dumplings. They have a variety of specials that are all well priced. Was very happy with the fried catfish I got last week, atleast a pound for five bucks. Got a funny look when I asked for tarter sauce. The people are always kind and happy. read more

I'm a biz traveler who sometimes likes to forego the Bloomington "night life" in favor of watching cable in the hotel room. As such, this is my go-to place for Chinese. They have good food and give you a bunch of it for not a ton of money, and the delivery is always fast (maybe I am just used to Chicago). Recommended. read more

Best chicken fried rice in town. You can taste the wok hei. Plus they use bean spouts, not peas and carrots!

this is my first time ordering from first wok. I was pleasantly surprised.... the food arrived steaming hot and delicious! we ordered shrimp fried rice, pork egg roll, veggie egg roll, fried chicken wings, chicken egg foo young cp w/hot and sour soup and veggie fried rice. I requested well cooked shrimp and chicken wings. and everything tasted good. I will definitely order from again and may even replace where I usually go! read more

Get the black pepper chicken, extra spicy or house angel hair. Those are don't miss! Grab a Pepsi to cool off because when you order extra spicy, they MEAN it! read more

They showed up in less than 15 min. rice is hard, vegetables almost raw, soup was cold. And if that was Kung Pao chicken I am a frog.

As far as inexpensive chinese goes this place is great! Generous portion sizes and actually cooked well. I didn't feel totally disgusting after eating it...just a little disgusting! ;) Will definitely be eating here again when the craving hits. (bonus...any order over 10 bucks gets you 4 free rangoons!) read more

Fast, cheap, and large portions for those with a big appetite or wanting left overs. I have yet to be disappointed with their food or their service. Yummy every time. read more

It's somewhere between 'meh' and 'blah'. The kung pao chicken wasn't spicy. The chicken was breaded, limp and sparse. The Chinese vegetables were green bell pepper, celery, button mushrooms, carrots, broccoli stalks and 6 peanuts. The egg rolls were fried in old dark oil. The delivery was prompt and accurate. read more

Have special menu for Chinese students;) I give 4 stars cuz is ran by real Chinese so after all this is REAL Chinese food.

I have been coming to first wok for the last 19 years! I absolutely love this place. My favorite dishes are orange chicken and general tso chicken. Good quality, fast, and great value! They also deliver. read more

Best food and it is quick. Love the specials when you order you get free food. Bargain! Love the chicken on a stick!!!!

Was the food mixed in a toilet? I got the Mongolian beef and it defiantly tasted nasty. The dish was not well balanced either. way too many onions. read more

My #1 hangover cure in college was egg drop soup and veggie egg rolls from First Wok. That's enough to get a four-star review from me. Their entrees are good too, although unfortunately I mostly went for soup and egg rolls. They also have excellent crab rangoon! This was the only Chinese food my friends and I ever ate in college - can't beat the location. read more

Ordered 3 people worth of food and got it delivered in less than 15 mins! All of it piping hot and delicious as usual!

Will never go here again. The food is below average. They also forgot part of my order. When I called they said they were sure they put it in there, essentially calling me a liar. I told them they did not and I'd like it delivered since I couldn't come back. They wouldn't do it and told me I could either come back and get another one or they'd give me $1 credit. I told her the item was $2.35 + tax. She didn't care. I could either come back or just get a dollar. I asked if she thought that was appropriate customer service and she thought it was. I asked to talk to someone above her and she said she's the co-owner. If this is appropriate customer service for them then I'm not interested and I'm passing on fair warning to other customers. read more

First Wok is fast, cheap, and delivers consistent quality. It's chinese takeout, so don't expect anything fancy, but they do a good job within that parameter. read more

Good prices. Good quality given the location. Stopped here on a cross country trip.

The food was well prepared and the taste was authentic. I lived in NYC and ate at Chinatown regularily, this place would fit.

This is the best Chinese food in Bloomington Normal. Everything I have ever ordered has been hot and authentic!

When I want Chinese Food I order from here ONLY! BEST IN BloNo The only thing I will never understand is ...Why charge for delivery...and then expect a tip. But that has NOTHING to do with the AWESOME FOOD!!! read more

Ordered general tso chicken and beef with broccoli for delivery. Took about 45 minutes and we finally got our food. We got the general tso chicken but instead of beef we got some kind of pork (meat was pink and breaded). Called the store and they said they would send out a new dish (which was great) they called back 10 minutes later and called us liars and said that we were wrong and we were stuck with a dish that we didn't order. One star is too many for the terrible customer service. read more

Ordered online before noon. Got there before they even received fax for the order which came in at 12:09. Was told it would be 5-10 minutes. Waited and watched people come in and order and receive their food. Asked again how long it would be, after waiting 15 minutes. Was told that they had just receive the order. That was not true. After all of that my General Tso's chicken was so hard I could not even chew it. Needless to say I will not go back again. read more
