    Express Line 2

    6/4/2025 First Wok 653 S. Bernardo Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94087 I went there on a Wednesday evening to try their chow mein. It's at the back of the Safeway/Cherry Chase Center, lots of parking. It looks like a mostly take out place, nobody was there dining in. It's a clean table and chair setup with a slight Asian temple incense odor from an arrangement at the back of the restaurant. They have a large assortment of entrees in their steam table pans for the Express Line meals. I ordered the House Special Combination Pan Fried Noodle to go, since I didn't want to be the only guy eating there. My food was ready in about 10 minutes and the bag felt heavy, good value. The noodles were crispy and got chewier as the gravy soaked in. The combination consisted of shrimp, beef, chicken, pork, broccoli, celery, mushroom, cabbage, green onion and onion in a mild and tasty gravy. I was happy with my chow mein (good for 2+ meals) and would repeat for their other Cantonese dishes.

    Food very delicious I couldn't wait to eat it before taking a picture !! Service is great also

    Outside menu

    Let's get a few things straight first: * This is not a fine dining establishment so I'm comparing it against other casual dining spots (but expect more than fast food) * I tend to avoid buffets, even pre COVID, as you don't know how long it's been sitting there. * I'm not worrying about authenticity -- just food I enjoy eating. I will let others decide if it's truly Chinese. I was craving Chinese and, with Mandarin Gourmet closed, I don't have a go-to spot. We decided to try First Wok based on reviews. And, of course, we ordered way too much so we could sample the menu. On to the food: Hot & sour soup -- the large is enough for 3-4 people. I liked the spiciness but wish it had a bit more egg and a few more mushrooms. Chicken rice noodle -- essentially stir fry with rice noodles instead of rice or noodles. A surprisingly flavorful dish. Mixed vegetable with tofu -- the only dish we wouldn't repeat. Not bad but just not remarkable. Vegetables were good but the tofu was bland. Sautéed three ingredient -- prawns, scallops, and squid with a ton of snow peas and some carrots. The oyster sauce was very good. Did I say it was a LOT of snow peas? BBQ pork with string beans -- sliced BBQ pork with a generous amount of string beans. Quite good but I would have enjoyed a little more spice; maybe more garlic? The above was enough food for two people over three meals, and we ate well each time. If you don't mind buffets, you can walk in and order a three item combo. It's fast and easy, even during COVID times. As Arnold would say, I'll be back.

    Not a nice experience

    This the worst felling and worst experience ever never coming back we find cockroach in the food and we try to talk to the owner to let him know the problem and he did not care he never get back to us a picture attached

    House garlic chicken, sweet n sour pork, bbq pork fried rice, and chow mein; super dry and tasteless

    Are they still in operation? They were closed when I came today around 6 pm, despite having a sign saying they were open 7 days.

    Yes they are open although there was a small period of time they were not open (without any signage stating why) during the time you visited. However they are back at it and making excellent sesame shrimp, ginger beef, roast pork chow men and…
