    Inside of the restaurant

    The food is top tier We have tried other buffets in the Tulsa and Broken Arrow areas. We decided to try this one after looking at it recommended on Reddit. Great food for a great price. The total was 32.65 for 2, we ate till we couldn't any more!

    Standard Chinese buffet food and atmosphere. Busy enough that all the food stayed fresh. Attentive waitress.

    Great price, good food, and tasty desserts, the decorations are also very good. Pretty classy for a Buffay and great customer service.

    For an Asian buffet it was pretty good. We got there just in time for them to bring out fresh food. I'd go again.

    The food is great! Better than any buffet I tried here in Tulsa so far despite its small space and little choices of food.

    Excellent Thai Restaurant in South Bixby…read more Lisu Thai has a very comprehensive menu of Thai and other Asian cuisines. They are conveniently located at 133rd and Memorial Dr in Bixby. The sit-down style restaurant restaurant has plenty of room for individual guests or larger groups, and has a pleasant and restful atmosphere. The staff are courteous and helpful and the wait times are minimal. Take-out service is also available. The food is excellent. They have a number of lunch special options, but also offer a wide variety of popular appetizers and entrés that should please everyone. I have eaten here at least three times, and have brought co-workers as well. All are impressed by the range of options, the quality, and hospitality. We are grateful for another successful restaurant in south Bixby.

The Thai iced tea was fire, but the basil fried rice was mediocre. My wife had one of the Thai noodle dishes, and I thought it lacked flavor as well. After talking to the staff, I learned that the owners are Burmese, so I'll come back to try those dishes, which looked pretty good. I would suggest tone down the music a bit as it might not be for everyone.

    It's been ages since we have been to Chengdu. I don't know why because it's probably my favorite…read moreAsian restaurant. I like it because of its authenticity. You can get all the common dishes here but you can also get some unusual dishes that are very authentic. My grandson once ordered jelly fish. You can't get that at very many local restaurants. Another thing I like is that they have a couple of large round tables with lazy Susans. Our extended family sat at one of those tables once. It was fun putting the things we wanted to share on the lazy Susan and being able to spin it around and try what we wanted. It made for fun conversation talking about the different dishes. That was when our grandson ordered jellyfish. The restaurant is fairly small but the large tables make the restaurant good for groups. I think this would be an excellent place for a Yelp event. They have a lunch menu but you have to ask for it. It includes some of the popular Asian dishes for $9:95. They have smaller portions that come with a choice of soup or egg roll. Danny and I asked to see the lunch menu, but decided to order off the main menu. We split Crispy Tofu with garlic sauce and egg rolls. I liked the presentation of the egg rolls. They were cut diagonally and arranged nicely on the plate. The tofu dish was quite tasty. Next time, I plan to get Mei Fun. I have had it here before and loved the variety of flavors. The service wasn't terrible but it wasn't wonderful. We got our food in a timely manner, but we felt rushed to order and she didn't check to see if we needed anything or refill our water glasses. Service here has been excellent in the past. I am glad we came back to Chengdu and were reminded of how much we like it. We will be back soon.

We had a small group and were able to get a table right away. Our table had a lazy susan in the center which is great for groups. The service was efficient and our food came out quickly. Our waitress did check on us periodically and did refill drinks. The portion size of the food was good and a little salty. I enjoyed the green beans but they had a little bit of a lemony flavor that had a weird after taste. I think the Kung Pao could have used a little more heat. The price for the food was decent.

    According to another reviewer, this mom-and-pop restaurant has been in business over 35 years…read more Inside the restaurant is clean, very nicely decorated, pride in ownership is apparent. The owner may have a touch of OCD. The lady came out from behind the counter to square up the pile of menus, after I had shuffled through them. The tables and chairs are arranged and policed, to maintain perfect formation, as were the meticulously aligned condiments on the tables. As we were leaving, the owner wasted no time to correct the miss alignments we had caused at our table. Up by the door, an attractive little pond surrounded with live plants and colorful decorations. No coy fish. Instead, in the pool coins glisten. Evidence of many past wishes made. The ambiance and décor of this little Chinese restaurant feels relaxing. Maybe even a little classy. Check the pictures. And then there is the cheap ass flimsy plastic tableware, used to eat your meal out of a Styrofoam container. If you get your meals to go, you don't care. A plate with metal tableware would improve the in-restaurant dining experience logarithmically. Minimal service. Order at the counter. Fetch your drinks and flimsy plastic fork yourself. The food was excellent. We had the Hunan Chicken. Fresh vegetables, with a generous serving of flash fried chicken breast chunks, all covered in a magnificent tasty brown sauce. Yes, it was good! 5 stars if you get you food to go (you already knew you were going to have to eat with that flimsy plastic fork.) 4 stars if you eat in. Having to eat your food out of a Styrofoam container, in this nice little restaurant just doesn't feel right. One of the nicest small Chinese restaurants in the Tulsa area. This restaurant is recommended!
