"I've been ordering from First Wok for the past few weeks and today I am simply blown away at the quality of Chinese food that was delivered. I decided to try their Roast Pork fried rice, and the moment I took a bite, I was at a lost for words by all of the amazing flavors coming from the grilled vegetables, the pork, the rice. I mean I have nothing bad to say about the meal. Whoever prepared the roast pork, and gizzards meal deserves some serious recognition."
