    Szechuan beef
    Nancy R.

    Chow's Chinese Restaurant still serves tasty food, however depending on who's in the kitchen. My Szechuan beef and the Green Chile beef were both tasty but very chewy or tough - the beef needed to be tenderized!!! Our hot and sour soup was lacking flavor. The fried eggplant was absolutely delicious. The BBQ pork was very tender and tasty. Friendly fast customer service.

    Love the food. Our favorites are the Szechuan style eggplant and the shrimp with flat noodles. Not crazy about the wontons or crispy duck but everything else has been great.

    Food was served pretty quickly and service was good. This is our go to for Chinese food.

    Very good Chinese food and lower prices, their curry Chicken with rice is also great. Their steamed dumplings are also excellent as well. Beverages such as iced tea and OJ are also provided (in addition to Pepsi products). Interior ambiance also spacious with plenty of tables. Service also prompt and attentive. Recommended!

    This place has been recommended to me for years and I've never been, so tonight my partner and I decided to go for dinner. I had the curry fried rice, he had the combination udon noodles and we split some apps (fried dumplings and crab Rangoon). The ladies in the front of the house were nice but not overly friendly. The place looked clean. The food was good but honestly a little underwhelming, especially for the price (which has gone up but they haven't changed it on any of the menus so surprise your $36 meal for two is now $50 before tip). The fried dumplings were really over done and the rangoon were almost non edible they were so well done. The fried rice was really tasty and to quote my partner "the udon noodles were good but the meat just tasted like it was from a fajita plate at a bad Mexican restaurant." I would definitely eat there again and try something different but it definitely didn't quite live up to the hype of my friends' recommendations.

    I miss Chows soooo much. I used to live about half a mile away and get to enjoy the salt and pepper tofu weekly. Do not let the outside of the building deter you. This place is as legit as it gets. Every time I visit OKC, I have to go to Chows. It's just damn delicous. The owners are so friendly and provide excellent service. Hands down, Choes is one of my all time favorite places to eat .

    Over cooked my lobster. The chef must be in the rush.

    Over cooked my lobster and stirred fried vegetables tasted very light. The chef must be on the rush.

    Chinese food craving = Satisfied! If you're looking for a place to get Chinese food, this is the place to go. Upon arrival, the parking lot was packed. Once inside, and after viewing the menu, the options were endless. From authentic options to Westernized options, there's something for everyone. We got the Kung Pao Chicken, Szechuan Chicken, Chicken with Black Bean Sauce, spring rolls, egg rolls, and hot and sour soup (not pictured). Prices are reasonable! You can adjust the spice level, and chili oil is available at the table. My family and I have been on the hunt for a good Chinese restaurant, and we left Chow's knowing we would definitely return. We have found our go-to Chinese restaurant. We hope to return one day during lunch, too! The lunch specials looked very good! Come give Chow's a try the next time you're looking to eat Chinese food!

    Service was excellent! Food was phenomenal and the portions were huge. This is one of our top 3 Chinese restaurants to visit.

    This is the lunch General Tso's Chicken - this is easily two portions.

    Holy Katz, BRILLIANT, fresh, San Francisco style Chinese food. The veggies were bright and crisp, and everything was cooked to perfection and served piping hot! The portions are massive (I don't know if you can tell from the photo, but the egg rolls are as big around as my wrist), and the crab rangoons are ACTUALLY crab rangoons! I live in Norman and we will be making the trip to the city just for Chow's!

    Just going to echo the reviews already on here for Chow's, it's excellent and on my second time around I found the experience just as awesome as the first. The one thing I like above all here is when I asked for spicy, it was spicy. Too many times I get some mild weak *** mess that my mom could eat. I want/like spicy so bring me the fire! And that is what Chow's did/does for me. BOOM! We've tried many menu items here and they've all been a hundred. The restaurant is clean and service is friendly. If you are down with social distancing they have divided between the tables so with staff wearing masks there is no reason to avoid this Southeast Asian slice of Heaven! Oh, and they're open until eleven so for you late night diners (guilty as charged) they can hook you up!

All secondary roads are still snow packed so at 11:30 there was only one other couple in the restrauant. The Press is in an old (1920's ?) repourposed building. The interior is comfortable, charming and a bit whimsical. We started with an order of cheese sticks. They were very good and large. I liked that the cheese sticks did not have Italian seasoning in the breading. Jan ordered the chicken fried ribeye with mashed potatoes, cream gravey and green beans. Jan loved it. I took a bite of the chicken fried steak and it was excellent. The green beans were very good. They were loaded with garlic, which I love, but if you're not a garlic fan, I would suggest another side. I ordered the grilled chicked sandwich with waffle fries. The sandwich was good and the waffle fries were excellent. The portions are large and the food quality excellent. The prices reasonable. The menu has variety. You can't go wrong by dining at The Press.

The patio space in the front was very secluded and lush, we had it entirely to ourselves. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. They even brought out a water bowl with ice for our pups. We loved our drinks. My espresso martini was boozy and not too sweet with a love whipped topping on top. Her Road to Hana was very refreshing and the pineapple tajin garnish hit the spot. Quick shout out to the dinner rolls and butter. I was starving so this held me over while our shareables came out. The Spicy Caesar was nice, loved the hit of heat that came with it. The Chicken Pepperjack Strudel, a signature dish, was really really good. Just wish it was warmer in the center but yea definitely order this. Juan's queso is not a typical queso dish. First, it's real cheese and it comes with a black bean puree, salsa verde, and avocado thinly sliced on top. We loved it, especially my wife.

I came here with a large group of about 8 of us with a reservation made early on. We were seated in a nice, private room and had an overall very lovely experience! First of all, our server Trey was just spot on with all of his recommendations. He recommended the crab cakes, the halibut, and anything that came with the spicy shrimp risotto. Our table got crab cakes to start, and this was probably my favorite dish of the evening! The crab cake was large, fluffy, and full of lump crab topped with a spicy and delicious salsa verde and pico. For the entree I ordered the halibut which was cooked well, but the side of spicy shrimp risotto definitely stole the show (as Trey accurately predicted). Most of our party ordered this and everyone was pretty happy with it! For dessert, our table shared chocolate cake and the coconut creme pie. The chocolate cake was very rich and was probably one of the best chocolate cakes I've had, and I'm not a big chocolate cake person. I still definitely preferred the coconut creme pie, which I would order again next time! Our service was fantastic for the evening, and when Trey tells you to order something, trust him and do it!
