With excellent Chinese food in NYC, Philadelphia and Atlanta -- places I've called "home" -- options are pretty bleak where we are now. Based on an exuberant recommendation from neighbors, we gave Number 1 Wok a go -- and my reaction is NO. Maybe. Maybe? Well, Mongolian Beef was pretty good. Everything else, perhaps 1.75 on a scale of 5. So my intent is to give 'em a second try with a totally different order. -- Soup: egg drop wonton was devoid of taste. The wontons may be a tad better than other local takeouts. But not by much. Hot & sour was too peppery, with a thin base. -- Roast pork chow mein: blah! Salt, soy sauce, nothing much helped. I'm the first to admit that chow mein is a pretty mild dish under the best of circumstances, but this takes "mild" to a different level. Prices are higher than other take-outs. There was a steady influx of customers while we waited for our order. "Must be good," I said optimistically. Wrong. read more

I've gone here for more than 10 years. Typically the food is reasonable, but always on time. Last night was the last night. Called in our usually order. Ready in 15 min. Got there in about 20 min. 20 minutes later, not ready. 20 more minutes not ready. Remember they require you pay when you come in. An hour later the food is brought to the counter, wrong soup, and nothing hot. Soup Luke warm and wrong. If you order, don't pay until they give you your food. Better yet don't order Should get 0 stars read more

Great place for Chinese take-out! The food is tasty, affordable and the portions are plenty to share. Hot and sour soup is a bit spicy, so if you can tolerate very spicy it does have good flavor. read more

I normally come here often, this time what's mess!!! I found a screw in my pork fried rice!!! Not sure what more I can s read more

Number 1 Wok - A SCREW!!!!! - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Got home after spending $37 for 3 lunch specials. Shrimp and cashews had three shrimp. YES; 3. Really? I hate to complain but after other previous issues it's just too much to ignore. Given the Verabdah development next door it's time for a decent Chinese restaurant. The bottom line is stay away. Go to China City a couple of miles away. It can't be worse and the service must be better as well. Sorry to write such a review, but #1 Wok, you earned it. read more

Service is terrible. Placed an order, was told 15 min. An hour later still waiting. Soup hot everything is cold.

We thought we would try this Chinese take out place. The place was clean. The food was okay, not oily, over cooked, soggy but ... I ordered Chicken chow mein and I received chicken chop suey ... my husband's order of General Tso's chicken was correct. Both entrees were okay. We initially tried to order on the phone, and when the person who answered the phone said "know our address?" I responded with "on Palm Beach and Babcock Ranch"; she said "no" and hung up. Rude. My husband wanted to give it a try. Our order was from the "lunch special" which came with char su fried rice, the rice was hard and dry with about 6 mini pieces of bbq pork and a handful of peas. We will continue our hunt for good Chinese take out in southwest Florida .... read more

Main dish was so-so Hawaii 5-0. Kind of bland.Got a big wad of fatty meat. Rice was overcooked, and wantons in the soup were undercooked. The thick part wrapped around the meat center was raw dough. The best part of my $32 meal was the soup broth. Chicken wings were a little dry and could have used more seasoning. $2 each (i got the appetizer size which was 4 wings for $8. They forgot to include a fortune cookie. overall pretty disappointing. The girl at the front had a cold. She should not have been there serving food. read more

I just stumbled across this place completely by chance and boy did I strike gold here. I was halfway up to bonita springs when I realized the place I was going was closed on Sunday. No worries, I pop out the old cell phone & look for other places nearby. I looked at a number of places, but nothing really caught my eye. Then I came across this place. Its 3 star average had me leery, but as I looked at the reviews, almost everyone said the food itself was quite good, but they had issues with service or the hours or whatever. There weren't any pictures of the food, so I said f*ck it, number 1 wok here I come. When I got back to my car with the bag, I noted that the food smelled "right," so I was excited to get home & try it. Well, once home, I opened the boxes and realized I'd hit the jackpot here. Everything was fantastic. Prior to this place, I thought nowhere in the state would be able to compete with First Wok in Gainesville because that place is awesome. I won't say this place is better, but it is in the discussion which puts it into rarified air. My wife thinks this place has better general tso. I would call it a draw. First wok has my favorite boneless spare ribs in the country, but this place holds its own even with those other ribs. I believe their lol mein is better than first wok as are their egg rolls. Chinese takeout is my favorite kind of food, so I fully anticipate that me & the staff will be on a first name basis quite soon. Superb & worth every star! read more

Number 1 Wok - chicken and rice in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

This place just rocks. Classic, cheap, good portions. Couldn't ask for anything more.

The cleanest Chinese food in the entire area. I got some food at a small place on 41 in a little plaza on 41 and Grace, I was burping acid almost half the night from the grease. This place is closer to us, but on that night it was already closed, so I ventured away, but now that I have tried it, it's my favorite, so far. The wonton egg drop soup was actually clear and the wontons were delicious, the other place the soup was murky and all I tasted was grease, blah. Never again. This will be my go to for my Asian cravings for now. I love trying new places so I will try others, but when I want a "sure thing" I will definitely head to #1 wok by publix :) read more

Number 1 Wok - #1 Wok store front - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Food - good. service - AWFUL. Phone in the order - CHECK. Get a time to pickup - CHECK. SHOW UP ON TIME - CHECK. Food ready? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. (Oooh, I think I hurt myself.) I've stopped going there. Each time they promise to do better, each time it got worse. People walking in the door and ordering to go got their food faster than I did. MULTIPLE TIMES. Service? They don't know the meaning of the word. Here's the thing, if you're not going to start to cook my pre-ordered take out until I show up, then why take my order on the phone or online? why not just tell me to show up and THEN order. This place is just awful. They also have their kids running around playing video games, LOUDLY, in the shop. It's just not good, not good at all. the only good thing? the place is VERY clean. read more

It's a to go order and they give no plates also the young cook is with out a mask if their not using the restaurant the least they can do is give you plates so u can eat with them.... bad service I'll let you guys know how's the food... read more

This was the worst food I have ever had. The rice was terrible, and I mean terrible. The lo mein had no flavor and the general tso chicken was awful. I will never go back there again and I do not recommend any one eat there. Save your money!!!! YUK!!!!!!!!! read more

I got the orange chicken and it was good, thought the sauce was a little watered down but all together the meal was okay. The rice was cooked perfect, if looking for a quick meal not a bad option. read more

Have you ever been to a Chinese takeout place before? It looks like some of these other customers haven't... As long as you understand that Chinese takeout means you call ahead (or order online) show up, maybe stand around for a bit, and eventually pay for your order and leave, then this place is awesome! The food is absolutely delicious and exactly what you're looking for at this kind of establishment. read more

Just picked up a large order of different chicken styles. The chicken was definitely not fresh. The meat had a hard chewy layer (not the batter). My guess is it was cooked earlier and then reheated. Maybe I caught them on a bad night but it's a Friday. read more

We have ordered from here many times. Today when we went to pick our order there were 2 young boys (maybe 8 and 4) yelling and cursing in the restaurant area. They were most likely the owners kids. We all have to work and balance home life buy these kids were ridiculous. No one adult came out from the back to stop them from yelling or cursing. A really unwelcome environment for anyone else, and an unfortunate example of neglect of your kids. Probably won't bother coming back. There are plenty of other Chinese restaurants to pick from read more

In my opinion the flavor was not good, very lacking in flavor...blah. It was oily and poorly seasoned. I also found the man at the counter (I believe it was the owner.) to be rude. One would believe that during a pandemic, restaurant owners would be eager to provide good food and pleasant service. I believe I received neither. read more

I like to visit 1 wok good food and the price nice and clean in the sitting area and the kitchen, I love that you could see them cook your food if you want too ( Open Kitchen. read more

This place is amazing!!! Love their Chicken & Broccoli! Workers are very nice & they get you your food ready pretty quick! Definitely recommend this place read more

Didn't get our wonton soup, didn't get any noodles let alone the extra ordered, charged over $10 for bourbon chicken although menu said $6.95. Food good but not happy at all with order. read more

We are new to the area and have ordered to go a couple of times. Each time the food was hot and delicious. The staff was friendly and efficient and we will definitely be going back. read more

We've eaten takeout here three times and haven't been pleased. Each time we said "maybe it will be better this time". But three strikes and you're out. General Tao chicken was basically unusable chicken parts covered in batter which was then covered in sauce. I couldn't even eat it because it was just like chewing gristle. Husband's Egg foo yung was gross tasting and so was chicken with broccoli. The egg roll hardly had any filling inside. Basically just egg roll dough. Keep in mind we have ordered Chinese takeout food many times over the years at different restaurants, so we know what we like and what we don't like. This place seems to use the cheapest cuts of meat and products. I only gave it one star because the portions are large for the price, their steamed rice is good, and their spring rolls are good. Maybe we just haven't found the right meal here yet! Unfortunately, we won't be trying again. read more

I wish the portions were bigger, BUT the honey chicken is one of the best I've ever had and I eat a lot of Chinese food.

We have been customers for about 2 yrs. Restaurant is always clean and the food is very good at affordable prices. Staff is friendly & efficient. read more

There aren't many great new york style chinese options here in South West Florida, but this hole in the wall is as good as your gonna get, the food is decent, fresh, consistent, and they give great sized portions. read more

Hands down, the best take out in Ft Myers! We've been here so frequently that the staff knows me and what I order and will occasionally throw in some free goodies! I have yet to find anything comparable since moving out of the area. read more

Ehh. The white rice is good. The flavors are just odd to me. The sesame chicken is sweet, I'm used to a spicier style. The plum sauce isn't as tangy as it should be. I don't live in the area but I won't eat here next time I am. Might just be my personal preferences. So try it and see for yourself. read more

This place used to be good especially the young chow fried rice. They either have new cooks or new mgr. I ordered beef w/cashew nuts it was terrible, tasted like cardboard. I took it back they refused to exchange it or give another choice. I asked for something else, wad charged full price. While waiting asked for a soda they told me $1.17. I had $1.15 ,they refused to give me the soda cause I was 2 cents short. Dont know whos cooking now, sure wouldnt be coming there anymore. read more

This is my go to Chinese place now. It's so cheap and so good. Their large wonton soup is so good and not even $3. The egg rolls are BIG and so fresh and have so much flavor it's amazing. The combination plates come with a lot of rice i couldn't finish it lol. And lastly the crab ranganon are literally to die for here! I just love this place! read more

heartbroken. we have ordered from this place for over three years- because the food IS good, but tonight was the last straw. Once before the employees demanded that we pay for food we didnt order-or we could never return- the little woman was so irate and aggressive that we didnt return for over two years. We returned after that time just to see if management had changed and we were happy to rely on them again. This time they messed up an order that we call in every month, and when we called to explain- we were told it was our fault. (seriously??) I personally walked in and quietly explained to the young man that from now on- they should post a disclaimer reminding customers that "if the restaurant messes up the order, it will be customer fault". Never again will we visit. sorry we tried again. read more

Do not eat here. First time I ordered here I got for myself the sesame seed chicken combo and a co worker got the Orange chicken. We both ate at work and went home. I woke up at 3am and puked my brains out. In the morning I texted my co worker and he also puked. My thought is it was bad chicken. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. 2 stars only because the food was good going down. read more

The food is delicious and always a hit with my Family. Was disappointed to hear the interaction between a Patron and the Owner. When the Patron calmly voiced his disappointment that a plastic fork could not be provided for his carry out meal, she replied "Whatever". read more

I just got off the phone attempting to explain how my order of House Special Fried Rice to go had NO shrimp in it. The lady apparently thought I was lying, telling me without an order# she is unable to confirm my order among the many they had on Good Friday. Do you think I would take the time to call you to let you know that your cooks screwed up if I was lying. Terrible way you handled this from one of your regular customers. NOT ANY LONGER read more

#1 Wok, Fort Myers. Ate here three times. All three the food was hot temperature wise but utterly tasteless. My experience last night was outrageously bad! No chicken in the General Tsao at all! NONE! 35 pieces of friend batter and I paid $9 for this combo!!! One small broccoli was split in two and that was supposed to be the vegetables?! So very unhappy with the rip off this place is! ARGH! read more

My fortune cookie read "Good food is worth waiting for!" The hot and sour soup was flavorful and so was the Taichien chicken and Moo Shoo. Portions were large and not overloaded with broccoli. The place was mobbed with people carrying out as this is the best chinese food around. I had called ahead and arrived after 30 minutes as instructed, but had to wait for 30 more minutes for the food - along with 15 others. So I can understand why the cashier was not friendly as she steadily and quickly processed orders. A regular told me it normally takes only 10 minutes total. Just happened to be a busy Saturday night. read more

food was mediocre; servers were unfriendly. pictures of entries do not match actual entries.

"Asian Face Saving". Ordered takeout to pick up on way home from work. Restaurant 10+ miles from home. Despite verbal confirmation of correct order at counter, 1 of 2 dishes was wrong when opened at home, Szechuan chicken instead of black bean chicken. Cannot eat spicy food due to mouth condition with inflamed gums. Noted that receipt actually had wrong item followed by correction to correct item. When contacted about the error merchant was very rude, denied any mistakes, wanted us to come back although it was too far and a toll away, implied I was lying despite error on their own receipt and hung up the phone when I asked for a refund. This behavior is not acceptable in USA culture. When you make a mistake, admit to it! Please don't reward this behavior and purchase your Chinese food elsewhere. 2nd dish of Szechuan pork was bland, anyway. I recommend nearby Sakura, Shanghai or China Wok. read more
