    A sign out front said lunch specials $6.99 but the menu said $7.99. They must have recently raised their prices. We were greeted by a very friendly proprietor. Dan ordered Mongolian beef and I got Kung Pau chicken. I had trouble deciding because the sweet and spicy eggplant. I love eggplant but don't often find it on menus. On the other hand, it's difficult to pass up the peanuts in the Kung Pau. Oh decisions. The egg roll was the best part of both dishes. It was extremely crisp and light. It's much better than egg rolls from other restaurants. My husband complained that his dish was too oily. I had him taste mine and he said it was too oily for his tastes, too. I'm more tolerant of oil than Dan is, but I'd say it was a bit more oily than Kung Pau I've had at other restaurants. The portions were slightly smaller than what I'm use to in other restaurants, but I left full and Dan asked for a to go box. I wish I could give 3.5 stars. That would better measure today's experience. It's difficult to measure being fair to the business and not misleading customers. I heard people talking about Lo Mein. Next time I will try that. I noticed you can get a side of Lo Mein for $3.99. This place is definitely worth a try. We are glad we did.

    This restaurant is quaint. We stayed approximately 1 1/2 hours, taking our time enjoying each other. The staff was sweet and compassionate. The food was good but I didn't explore. My hubby assumed the Mongolia Beef would be spicier. He requested they add some chili spice... he was pleased with the result. I enjoyed the veggie stir fried rice. During the conversation I found out that they have vegetable tempura type tofu. So next time, I will give it a try.

    This is where I go when I want solid Chinese food options in East Tulsa. This is an unsuspecting little space that is obviously dated and kind of run down. don't let that stop you from going inside to experience some VERY friendly folks who deliver amazing quality food. I get that some places go all out on decor and keeping it bright and shiny. Again, you won't find that here. I have to rave on though about the food and the service. The first few pages of the menu in my mind tell you about what they really do. Lots of pictures and food spelled out in english only. Flip to the second half and it's no longer english! That tells me they cater to a crowd of folks who want traditionally prepared and serve cuisine! You'll find some Szechuan and cantonese fair and I've yet to have a dish here that didn't blow my socks off! Hands down a great spot and one I'll keep going back to so long as the doors stay open!

    My first visit to China Garden on 31st was yesterday evening. I was greeted by an elderly gentleman whom I assume was the owner and who was eating his supper and watching a show on his tablet. He was very polite and welcoming. As I had placed my order via Yelp he was expecting me since no one else was in the restaurant. Shortly after arriving and while waiting for my order two elderly Asian couples arrived. This made me very happy as it did the owner. They all carried on in their native language for a bit and sat down to order their food. These interactions are what I always look for when finding a new restaurant. I've traveled all over the world and this helps to identify a great choice in dining in most cases. One thing I usually do when traveling is to ask the owners or cooks to make me what they would eat for their meals to get the most authentic food possible. Will probably do this next time. Any way... Our takeout consisted of General Tso's Chicken, Dry Pot BOK Choy, Sichuan Tofu, Crab Wontons, and Veggie Spring Rolls. We also received a very spicy Sichuan Pork with Green Beans dish that we didn't order so, apologies to whoever might have been missing a meal. We were already home downtown when we discovered it. I must say I had very high hopes after reading several reviews. For the most part, I was satisfied with the overall freshness and flavors of the food. I do love how they don't over-Americanize their dishes. The General Tso's Chicken was very good with a sticky sauce and tender white meat chicken although I prefer a bit more spicy heat. Very good though. My wife had the Sichuan Tofu which she often gets from other places and I could tell she wasn't overly enthused although she said she might order it again. The wontons and spring rolls did not disappoint and were my favorite part bringing out the kid in me who is usually satisfied with a meal consisting of appetizers though I rarely do that nowadays. We initially ordered Dry Pot Cauliflower but they were out so we substituted BOK Choy. I must say I wasn't expecting just a container of Steamed BOK Choy in a clear sauce. It had no flavor and was just limp veg so it was not too appealing to me. The final dish which we don't order but received was the Sichuan Pork with Green Beans. We don't eat pork but I tasted/ate the green beans and was very impressed with the spicy heat I was looking for in my General Tso's! Too bad I couldn't eat the rest of the dish because the flavor of the sauce was my favorite of them all. All in all, I look forward to trying other dishes from China Garden and finding the ones I know I will like even better and that I know are there.

    Lunch special
    Tuan P.

    I am a supporter of local business my rating may be biased because of it. So one of the really good features of China Garden is the lunch special which is really cheap. I do feel they need to update the banner in the front because the lunch special is $7.99 now and the sign still says $6.99. The portion size is on the smaller side but I expected this because of the price. I love the sweet and spicy eggplant and would get the same thing if I go back. It's delicious. I always get dumplings especially when it says homemade. For the most part, I am happy with them. One of them is opened at the bottom. I am not sure when these were made but probably not on the same day. Wherever they got the chili oil, they need to find a different brand because there's a bitter taste. You definitely do not come here for the service. The owners are really nice people but service is slow. I am not sure what happened but they gave me chopsticks to eat with my plate. Maybe the chopsticks were for the dumplings but then they took it back when I asked for a fork. I didn't really understand what happened there.

    Dried pot ribs.
    Liz S.

    Winnah winnah Chinese dinnah. Everything we had was fabulous!!! Dried pot ribs, beef chow fun, curried chicken and double fried Seabass. Drove all the way from Joplin, Mo. to Tulsa and found this gem of a Chinese restaurant. We shall return.

    Bean sauce fish & sweet and spicy eggplant
    Dasha L.

    My new go-to Chinese spot in Tulsa county! I'm a huge fan of eggplant and theirs is fantastic! Also loved the bean sauce fish (just add a little bit of salt or soy sauce if you like a little saltier), and kung pao chicken was also solid but on the spicy side. Loooved the fresh hot sesame balls--they give you 10! Unpretentious but lovely atmosphere and great service

    Chicken lomein
    Myranda K.

    I enjoyed my flavorful chicken lomein. The egg drop soup portions were generous and some of the best I've ever had with carrots and peas. Definitely enough soup for at least two people. The wait was slightly longer than. they said it would be, but I could see they were working hard in there and had a long line. They were pretty friendly.

    General Tso's Chicken
    William P.

    Our entrees were fresh and served piping hot. I mean, this is no buffet-style Asian food. This was a cook or more in the back throwing it together as ordered and that set a high bar. With that said, I really felt like the dishes needed more onions and peppers. My General Tao's came with two small green peppers and two small white onions. In my opinion, that dish needs chili peppers and should maybe be a third veggies. My wife's sweet and sour chicken had no veggies. In my opinion, it is served best with green peppers, onions, and pineapples. Look, that's all personal preference. I can't fault them for that but we were ever so slightly disappointed by that. The egg drop soup with a little thick for my preferred texture. Otherwise, the server was jovial and prompt. The food was tasty. The high price point and lack of veggies took it from five to four stars. I mean, you get what you pay for so I'm happy to return and I'll ask for more veggies and if they deliver, I'll amend to a five stars. Not bad for our first visit.

    Simple interior.
    Joyce R.

    Wonderful food, delightful owners. Expect a no frills, in a strip mall Chinese restaurant. Then be wowed by the extensive, extremely varied menu. And they'll make it as hot/spicy, or not, as you want. The dry pots were recommended, but we didn't have much time. So we settled in with General Tso & Kung Pao. They were *really* good. Veges cooked to absolute perfection. We said we'd share a hot and sour soup. It was presented in a rather large bowl with dual table settings. Everything was piping hot. They offer a lunch menu at $6.50. Give them a try. We'll definitely be back!

They have a decent selection of milk teas and fruit drinks as well as toppings. The boba pearls are done right, freshly made so they are soft and chewy like they're supposed to be. Once I ordered popping boba on accident (honey boba on the menu) thinking it was regular boba sweetened with honey and did not like it. They graciously switched it out with regular boba for me which I truly appreciated. My one recommendation would be to adjust the sweetness level if you prefer lighter drinks. The last time I visited I forgot to ask and it was a bit on the sweet side for me. I've also ordered poke and teriyaki bowls from them before and it was ok. The food was fine, it just didn't stand out to me. I usually come here for the drinks but would give the food another try given the good service and atmosphere. They have ramen, rice bowls, and appetizers like chicken karaage and kimchi fries. Overall I'd recommend Gung Ho as a solid hangout spot that's centrally located with good drinks and plenty of food options.

I would not re-order this soup again at Kai. 4. Samosa: Great. India's curry based influence. House made fish sauce to go with it. Different for sure! Here are some other things about Kai Burmese Cuisine you may want to know. The restaurant closes at 6 PM so in order to make it to the restaurant, you have to get off work early. If you get there at 5 PM, the workers and their families are eating dinner in the lobby so if you need something, you let one of them know (laugh out loud). Apparently, the restaurant does not usually have customers during this closing hour.
