My boyfriend and I ordered 2 lunch specials today - general tso's and chicken with black bean sauce - plus an order of dumplings. The food was good and the portion size was great. With that being said, I had a mild allaergic reaction minutes after eating. I do have a mild shellfish allergy and normally am okay with cross contamination/ being around shellfish. This time, though, my reaction was more prominent as if I had consumed shellfish. **If you are allergic to shellfish (mild and emergent) I would not recommend eating here unfortunately.

Best Chinese food in the area without a doubt. You can tell the ingredients are high quality, and everything is rich in flavor. While we do takeout often, we also love dining in because the staff is friendly and the seating is quite comfortable. Highly recommend the honey walnut shrimp, moo shu vegetable, pineapple fried rice, miso fish, and green tea ice cream!

When I was a young man I loved Chinese restaurants. Over the past twenty years, it seemed to me like it had gotten harder and harder to find a good one. Many places these days serve bland, overly sweet dishes. I wondered if it was only my tastes which had changed, perhaps I just didn't like Chinese food anymore First Wok brought me back to the days of Chinese food I remembered from so long ago. The food here is outstanding, and outside of two other places in Washington DC near where I live and work, I haven't had anything like it in more than 20 years. They have the old familiar Chinese American staples, executed to a very high level, plus there are more traditional dishes available for those that know and love them. They accommodate special requests within reason. The atmosphere was pleasant, the restaurant is clean and neat and the service is quick, attentive and friendly without being obtrusive. We had General Tso's Chicken, Crispy Beef, Lamb with Spinach in Hot Sauce, and my friend had Beef Fried rice, which I didn't sample The General Tso's was a nearly perfect rendition of the dish. Crispy flavorful, dark meat chicken chunks, delicious sauce that was sweet, but not cloying or one-dimensional. I could have stood for just a bit less sauce, and just a bit more heat, though it was anything but bland. I'll ask for extra spicy next time. Crispy Shredded beef is an easy dish to do well, but First Wok does it very, very well, an essentially flawless example of a dish that's usually at least decent anywhere, elevated beyond the ordinary. But the star of the show for me was the Lamb and Spinach in Hot Sauce. This was probably the best thing I'll eat this month. This was spicier than the other dishes, but I have a decent threshold for heat. I found it to be warm but very manageable, others may find it fairly hot, but it probably won't overwhelm any but the most tender-tongued diners. Perfumed with szechuan peppercorn, which gives a pleasant tingling or numbing sensation on top of the kick of the peppers, this dish was so good I would have eaten it off of the floor ! Unless you can't stand lamb, spinach, peppers or delicious food, get this. This is a restaurant I will definitely return to, you owe it to yourself to give it a try !
