First Wok

I eat here from time to time and have never had any issues with the food. Usually get chicken with mixed vegetables, which always tastes great and at $ 4 and change for half a pint is very reasonably priced. The only thing that might be off putting is the location of the restroom and the fact that the place sometimes does not look tidy (–1 star).

This is standard pickup Chinese food. Nice people, good food, not a great place to look at or sit in. Looks pretty rough.

Solidly mediocre Chinese takeout.
The lo mein wasn’t bad, but a bit more onions than needed. Beef was good, noodles we good… I’d order this again.
Once you get to the chicken in the kung pao, it’s not half bad. «Medium spicy» wasn’t spicy at all. No heat, actually. Way too many vegetables for a kung pao. It’s your standard mix of veggies: celery, baby corn, onions, water chestnuts, carrots, mushrooms… probably would have had bell peppers had I not requested them removed. Feel like I’m wasting have the container. I would not order this again unless I could specify just chicken, celery, peanuts, and sauce.
My lo mein was part of a combo, so it came with «fried» rice, crab rangoon, and an egg roll. Nothing will top Far East Kitchen’s egg rolls (but alas, it’s only in Chicago). The crab rangoon was mostly cream cheese. And the rice wasn’t fried. It was a yellow rice with corn and peas with some small pork pieces. Yellow rice is not fried rice. You fry rice with an egg.
Honestly, it’s cheap and it delivers. But if you want really good Chinese food, Dumpling House, hands down, is the best in the area. Authentic. Amazing. If they delivered I’d sign over my bank account so I can have it daily.
But for now, when I’m unable to go out and pick food up, this is the cheapest option. Thankfully it’s not terrible. So it’ll work for cheap Chinese takeout.

Muncie, IN: Chinese Take Out with a dining room.
So I’m nowhere near a Chinatown and need to judge this Chinese Carry Out place fairly. It’s always a struggle to draw that line of authenticity for cuisine in a location where the named ethnic group is in the minority. I will say that I was on the hunt for a low fat, and low sodium entrée tonight. Hubby just wanted something nourishing. We dined in.
His choice was the Beef and Snow peas, 8 ounces size. The snow peas, with water chestnuts, were cooked nicely and looked very attractive on top of the steamed white rice. There was a goodly amount of beef, but they were lacking tenderness. He had his nourishment.
I was excited to see several options labled «Healthy». The kind lady taking my order was patient and made several suggestions. I settled on a Combo of a half sized serving of Steamed Chicken with Mixed Vegetables, pork fried rice, a crab rangoon, and an egg roll. That egg roll was light and flakey, and thickly filled with what appeared to be some sort of shredded vegetables. That was the highlight of my meal. The cream cheese of the crab rangoon sat on a soggy section of fried won ton skin. I sent my entrée back because the chicken meat was cold while the veggies were warm. It was graciously remedied. The accompanying soy based sauce mixture was too salty to use so I sprinkled on my own light seasoning blend. The pork in the saffron colored fried rice was miniscule.
I normally don’t consume fortune cookies so I did not miss that typical dessert, which would’ve been an additional charge. Additionally, although we dined in, our food was served on styrofoam.
Seeing the Chinese characters written next to a list of dishes not on the printed menu was intriguing. Wish I’d seen it before I had ordered.
The owner was there and had immigrated from China. Does that makee this a legitimate Chinese food venue? I’ve had better but appreciate the healthier options.

Always get a lot of food for the money! The food is pretty good. I try to get something new every time and haven’t been disappointed. The employees are always friendly! The delivery is always fast and pick up is ready when I get there.

This place is great in that they were early to cater to the large chinese student body at BSU. Although not on the printed menu, there’s a marker board of 10 or so «authentic» options. I’ve probably tried 5 – 6 and they’re all pretty good. Other times, I’ve seen employees with their special meals and the staff has been happy to accommodate. Dumpling House is gonna give them a run for their money in terms of real ethnically Chinese food, but First Wok is nothing to sneeze at.

First of all, don’t believe the delivery area posted online, it’s all lies. We were well within the boundaries and had order with no problem before, and this time we had a really big order, but we didn’t get that far because we were told very rudely that they would not deliver to us. We were actually hung up on. If you are looking for quality food and service, might I suggest China Kitchen on Tillotson? You’ll thank me later.

Small place but very busy. I stopped by around 7pm to order to go. During the 10 minutes I waited at least 5 people stopped by to pick up their order.
I really enjoyed the seafood soup. Next time I’ll ask for extra spicy kung pao chicken which was pretty good.

The dining room is dreadful, but the food is consistently good and the kitchen appears to be clean and well kept. This is the only place I order Chinese food from now.

A quiet sketchy place to order food at night, however I love the Singaporean rice noodles here! I ordered pork fried rice and noodles, both tasted delicious.

I’ve been ordering from First Wok for more than 6 years, and it’s the only Chinese place in Muncie that has managed not to disappoint me at one time or another. They’re awesome about taking the dishes I order ad altering it to my tastes. (Blazing hot, typically.) Even when the item specified isn’t a «spicy» dish. I can count on one hand the times an order has been missing something (twice) and if you call they are quicker than lightning to fix the issue. I can’t really say anything bad about First Wok.
