My family and I tried this restaurant for the first time tonight. We all really enjoyed it! The interior of the restaurant was beautiful. Everywhere in the restaurant you could spot Asian-themed architecture and decorations. It was especially pretty since it was still decorated for Christmas. Our waitress was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. She gave great recommendations and solved a problem with our table quickly and politely. She gave great service. The food itself was excellent. The calamari appetizer was rather salty, but it was still tasty. Everyone in my family enjoyed their entrees, even my sister who doesn't like Asian cuisine and is a picky eater. My fried rice with shrimp was delicious! Can't wait to go back! read more

Excellent food and service! The decor is absolutely unreal. I was obsessed with it. It feels like a more formal restaurant but the staff / host are so welcoming to small kids (we came with two). We also celebrated my son's birthday and our waiter came out with a Buddha statue and ice cream to sing happy birthday to our son. He is now obsessed with oriental wok and already wants to go back we had the spicy grouper and all 3 varieties of dumplings, and mango pudding - everything was delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Family restaurant with character, warmth and so much beauty to walk around and discover. Beauty with the Koi fish and all the elaborate decor is just fun to explore. My favorite (other than the food) is the display of pictures throughout the years.... So much joy, love and happiness has occurred in this restaurant. Family restaurants that do it right are a favorite place to be, for me. -- I rarely take a picture of a bathroom (never if a person is there) but this bathroom is clean, beautiful, fully stocked, and again, more memories in picture form to further feel the warmth of this restaurant. Throughout the years we have been here a handful of times and I always felt the same about this pleasant restaurant and liked the food but I had never explored the menu like I did this experience on a Monday at 11 am and I am glad I did as I am now a LOVER of the food and not just the environment. The waitress was super friendly and has been working at this restaurant for 27 years-- WHAT???? Wow- loyalty is certainly another indicator of a great restaurant. In any event she was helpful in ordering as I really just wanted a couple appetizers that I had not tried before....I have always wondered what shrimp toast was but never ordered. After reading the amazing reviews about their shrimp toast I was motivated to order but my husband doesn't eat seafood and it's a pretty big appetizer and I was getting more food.. the waitress was emphatic about how good they are and I ordered them, as well as, chicken potstickers to split, wonton soup, and chicken fried rice for our kiddo for after school but I wanted to try at the restaurant.. chicken fried rice was good... standard but good standard and I enjoyed it as did our kiddo. The chicken potstickers are not my favorite (in the soup they were better) and I wouldn't order again but my husband loved them. I am used to the pfchangs and these were very different- felt healthier but just dry.... Again, he thought they were great. The wonton soup was AWESOME and the fact they make it with chicken is so cool as well as we don't eat a lot of pork so we never do the wontons in most places... Above all though and my favorite new treat -food is their shrimp toast, that I almost talked myself out of ordering.... Holy moly!!!! it was amazing and it was hard to put it down no matter how full I was as it's toasted perfectly and the flavors are just all really good and while it's a fried dish it just didn't feel too oily at all and was just well... perfect, perfect crunch, flavor, texture, dip, all of it.... This toast is why this restaurant will get to know our smiling faces at least a couple times a month........ When I took all the leftovers home I was excited to share the shrimp toast with our 11 year old as she also loves shrimp. I air fried it to heat it up and it maintained a good amount of the crunch and she LOVED it too... we already have a mom/daughter date to go back. Definitely get the shrimp toast....this was a celebration for my husbands birthday so we went a bit crazy with ordering a variety and this was the perfect restaurant to do this as I fell in love with a restaurant I have always admired and enjoyed going to but just hadn't found MY dishes :) We (I) will forever order the shrimp toast and wonton soup....... i will keep trying all the main dishes to find my fav and will Update.... Husband got a chicken noodle dish that I can't remember the name of... he enjoyed it very much and I also thought it was very good (pictured)....like me, he LOVED the wonton soup and he also enjoyed the potstickers... Last note, they serve Pepsi products and while I prefer Diet Coke I never expect a restaurant to have both. Husband asked if they had any while I was at the car and the waitress got me a can of diet Coke with a glass of ice... LOVEd that as any meal is better with your drink of choice. I figured- family restaurant cause someone in their family doesn't like Pepsi- or just an incredibly considerate restaurant.... Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will see you soon.... read more

Picked up from oriental wok. Service was quick and it was still hot when I returned home. I will want to return for a sit down experience. I am new to cincy and I was drawn to this restaurant partly because of the website. I can see why they have been a cincy staple for 50 years! I ordered the General Wongs - named after the owner. Perfect about of spice and I love the variety of veggies. Staff was very pleasant. read more

I can't put my finger on it, but something about Oriental Wok feels familiar and calm. There's an almost palpable aura of warmth and comfort when you arrive - like the feeling you get when coming home from a long journey. The family running the restaurant always makes sure that you're greeted in a manner that makes you feel genuinely special; it's a talent that so few can truly pull off, but it's sincerely felt on every visit. Food-wise, I'd argue it's by far the best Chinese in Cincinnati. It all sounds so silly when some of my favorite items are neither the classiest nor the most relaxing... (in fact they're quite harsh: the Hawaii volcano cocktail *complete with flaming centerpiece* and the Chengdu spicy chicken). Is it the lighting? The customer service? The silk pillows? The extensive gluten free menu? The MSG? Why do I love Oriental Wok so much? Beware judging a book by its cover: (it's in a hideously ugly high rise building) the inside has great traditional Chinese decor and ambiance. read more

Oriental Wok Hyde Park is a go to for me when I am looking to do Chinese. I can only talk about the carry out experience. Admittedly, I would give them 3.5 star rating if Yelp allowed it. The menu is BIG and has a pan Asian component to it. I've tried a few items, some of which have turned into regular orders. My favorites include the shrimp toast, beef with broccoli, orange chicken (I have to ask for extra orange sauce though). The shrimp toast is as unhealthy as it gets but gosh it is so good. Piping hot, stuffed with shrimp, dipped into the sweet and sour sauce, this toast is bursting with flavor and texture. In the entrees I mention, the meat quantity and mix of vegetables are very satisfying. There are two things that have consistently bugged me. While I am by no means an expert in Chinese cuisine, it seems that the sauces here fail to have nuance and boldness. I wonder if the sauce that accompanies the entrees are fresh made or if they are the same sauces that are on sale. Additionally, I note that dishes that have fried chicken fail to highlight the highly sought after crispy, crunchy breading. Service is always courteous and timely. Overall, good quantity and quality for money spent. read more

Oh my goodness! The service was incredible!! My server, Tad (short for Tadpole I think!) Always made sure I had what I needed, in more ways than one. Me and my husband gave ourselves a hall pass just for this little cutie! Will be coming again for sure! Hopefully he's working again read more

Food was very good! Husband ordered pan fried noodles w/pork and I ordered Hong Kong chicken. Had enough for lunch the next day. Service was exceptional. Very attentive. Classy decor and ambiance. read more

Took away some Friday comfort food today. I ordered via their website, which has the option to order and pay online (they utilize Toast service). For some reason, they have their taxes set up wrong, as I was charged sales tax, even though it was for curbside pick up with no alcoholic drinks. The option of ordering online is generally very convenient, but they should fix the tax issue. I opted for the option to have my food brought out to the car, which was efficient and fast. We could swing by their door and someone was there, we gave the name kn the order and they passed us the food. With regards to the food. Everything was nicely packed in a nicer than usual sturdy paper bag. My husband ordered Pad Thai with extra pork and he enjoyed it a lot. He would give it 4 stars. I ordered the broccoli chicken on white rice. Big mistake. I would not order this again and would rate it 1 star. The veggies were fresh and crunchy, carrots shaped as flowers, crispy water chestnuts and bright green broccoli. However, the sauce was so off-putting! Translucent light slimy sauce that made the chicken taste slimy too. I just could not get over the texture of the chicken pieces and the unappetizing look of this sauce, that resembled water with flour. While that might be just a wrong choice on my part, it successfully repelled me from reordering for a long time. Our order came to $49 for the Pad Thai and the Chicken with rice, both with extra meat. I find it quite pricey for two simple dinners, especially given the unappetizing chicken dish, so the value for that price was missing. Overall: I do not recommend broccoli chicken :) read more

Best Chinese around. Very nice people great food but don't deliver which kind of stinks

This food was expensive considering it lacked in flavor. I have had better Chinese food that wasn't $45. 8.5 for Crab Rangoon? Come on. 2 stars because the woman on the phone was really nice and curbside pick up is convenient but I wouldn't go back. Just moved to the area and it was a disappointing first experience. read more

I have lived by, passed by this place for more years than I can remember. I wanted a simple lunch for my birthday. I searched, thought and finally decided on Oriental Wok. I'm so glad I finally made it in. My drink was a mandarin Mule . It was so refreshing and very tasty. My friend and I both had the exotic mushroom dish. It was different and we both enjoyed it. The service was good and everyone quite friendly. We plan to come back for happy hour and food. read more

The first visit to this restaurant was good. The food was great, but the service was not the best. We had a server that forgot the part of our order which we ended up taking home as it seemed like an easier solution for them than to take it off our bill. Ambiance of the restaurant is very nice! You definitely get an oriental vibe which I love. After our first visit we decided to order a takeout as we really liked the food, however it was a slight disappointment as it wasn't as good as in restaurant. For the price you pay (steep) I expect the quality to be top notch every time. read more

Oriental Wok - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I really enjoyed Oriental Wok. I have seen the sign from the road for awhile, and have been wanting to try them. I finally decided to try them after coming from a long road trip. I was craving Chinese and thought it was the perfect time to give them a try. I'm glad I did. Their food is very good and taste homemade. I love being able to have an authentic Chinese food restaurant. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I came with my husband and two daughters. My husband and I started by ordering appetizers. I had an Egg Roll and he ordered the Won Ton Soup. The egg roll was so good. I love eating my egg rolls with spicy mustard. Their mustard was soooo spicy but good. The egg roll seemed homemade and delicious. It was fried perfect and not oily. The taste of the egg roll was delicious. I love egg rolls! My husband's soup was also good and tasted homemade. We loved the dumplings in the soup. This soup was flavorful and delicious as well. For lunch, I ordered General Wong's Chicken and my husband ordered Chicken Pad Thai. We ordered our daughter the kid's fried rice. All of the dishes were delicious. My dish was their version of Kang Pao Chicken. The flavor and spice level was perfect. The chicken was cooked perfect. Nice, tender and juicy. My only complaint is that the veggies could have been cooked a little longer. They still had a little to much crunch. However, other than this it was a good dish. My husband enjoyed his Pad Thai as well. It was flavorful and yummy! My daughter's rice was also good. It was simply but delicious. Overall, we all really enjoyed Oriental Wok. This will most likely be our go to for Chinese food. read more

Good place to go for last minute asian cuisine. everything tasted fresh and it was still very hot when I got it delivered from UberEats.

I tried Oriental Wok in Hyde Park the other day, as it has been on my places I want to go to list for a while. I didn't have time for a full sit down lunch so I did the next best thing. I called ahead and ordered the general Wong's chicken and an egg roll for carry out. I arrived five minutes later. The restaurant itself is very nice inside, clean bathrooms etc. Next visit I plan on dining in. I was greeted by the hostess and I paid. She said it would be another minute and asked if I would like something to drink while I waited. Great service! The food was delicious. I've been craving some good Chinese food and they were spot on. I want to try their many other menu choices next time. Just my two cents, careful with the mustard! Have a glass of water nearby! read more

I absolutely love Oriental Wok and - both locations. My fiancée and I are likely having our rehearsal dinner at their Ft. Mitchell location. We had lunch there today (Hyde Park), and though the food was great - Ming (I think was our waiter's name), was wearing cologne - heavy cologne. I`m highly allergic to fragrance, and no mater how much I like a restaurant, It is inconsiderate at best . Every time that he passed us to go to another table, my skin itched and I sneezed! I absolutely love Oriental Wok`s food, BUT, if the fragrance issue isn`t addressed, I`ll go elsewhere. read more

Came over here with husband for Chinese New Year Eve dinner. We arrived around 6pm, the place is busier than i thought for a Monday evening. As the celebration, we ordered egg roll and dumplings as appetizers, and hot sour soup. The soup is different from what i used to get in Shanghai, but still tasty. The dumplings and egg rolls looks great, but the filling could be better, i probably could do better job than that! So husband had most of it. We ordered peppercorn steak stir fry, and Chinese egg plants, and steamed sea bass! The chef cooked the stir fry steak and sea bass really well. It's juicy, tender, tasty and fresh! Husband thinks the egg plants is the best egg plants he had so far! We are full but we still tried their coconut bread puddings, mostly husband had it, he think it's great! We had a great Chinese New Year eve meal, and the owner Dr Wong even came to our table and sit together with us for a while, shared with us his story. We get to know that they have another restaurant in Cincy, so we will check that out on Chinese Lantern Festival! read more

Great atmosphere here! We ordered shrimp dim sum as an appetizer (very delicious), and I had the Hong Kong Chicken as an entree. I do not know what magic is in the gravy that is on that chicken, but it seems like the perfect cross between American Thanksgiving turkey gravy and a Chinese sauce. I highly suggest coming hungry, though -- the food was not quite as yummy upon reheating (although still delicious). The restaurant was very sensitive to my partner's gluten issues. I do wonder about the grand piano that they have in the corner -- apparently no one is actually entertaining on it? That could add a further touch of class to the restaurant. Due to my newfound craving for the chicken, I will likely be back. My partner also has dreams about the Chengdu Chicken, so it won't be long until we show our faces again. read more

Another great meal at oriental wok. Best Chinese food in Cincinnati. The food is also so good and such could quality.

Service is the best in the city. Bridget greeted us on arrival and very friendly, completely explained the menu explaining each section . Our drinks arrived at a great pace. Service staff in the room refilled drinks, taking plates. We had chicken low mein and Szechwan beef. Bridget checked in making sure everything was fine and she came back a few times during our dinner. THIS PLACE HAS BETTER SERVICE THAN the precinct!!, Plus a third of the cost without the jr experience. This is the place for attentive service, great food, large portions. We loved it and will be back. read more

It has been a little under a year since my last review, but when I come across a restaurant so remarkable, unique, and delicious, I must share my experience. First, let me speak to the service. The service my wife and I received was first class and on par with the high end restaurants I've eaten at. Our waitress, Brittnay, was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We were also visited by the owners during our meal and it was clear by talking with them, they care deeply about their business and their customers. This kind of service, sadly, is a rare find in restaurants nowadays, but added to the magic of the experience. Next, the food. My wife and I ordered a wide variety of food to get the sense for the restaurant. We started our meal with the Ma La dumplings and an egg roll. Both were excellent, especially the dumplings. The dough was velvety and light, yet robust enough to hold a large amount of tender, juicy pork and shrimp. The mala Sichuan sauce served on top was spicy, yet not overpowering. Well balanced and delicious. Also made fresh in house!! We also had the wonton soup and egg drop soup. Now, I normally don't get soup, but my coworker highly recommended it. Oriental Wok did not disappoint. Both soups were delicious and went down too quickly. Simple, yet the high quality of the ingredients was apparent and welcome. Now the main event; the entrees. My wife and I shared a Beijing Pork (similar to a sweet and sour pork), General Wongs Chicken, and Beef Lo Mein. All three were AMAZING!! Like the soups, the quality of the ingredients is second to none. The meat was juicy and the veggies were crisp and tender. I was especially impressed with the Beijing Pork (a relatively new menu item). It is baffling to me that they were able to fry the pork (a tough meat in its own right) in a way that the coating is crispy, but the pork juicy and cooked to perfection. Lastly, I will say the amount of detail they take in the experience is the most remarkable to me. For example, Oriental Wok gives small portions of rice (and will refill your portion) with the meal so you always have fresh rice. The staff/owners knew my wife and I were on a date and gave my wife a heart plate and gave us a tasty raspberry creme cocktail with our dessert. Everyone made sure to go the extra mile to make sure our date was memorable and perfect even to the last detail. All in all, this hit and exceeded the mark in all aspects possible. Taste; incredible. Service; elite. Presentation; beautiful. My wife and I will absolutely be back to dine and I highly recommend and welcome everyone to try not just the best Chinese restaurant in Cincinnati, but perhaps the best restaurant in the city! A huge thank you to the Wong family for welcoming my wife and I to your restaurant and we look forward to dining with you again! read more

One star is generous. Horrible service. The front desk lied and said they checked the order as I was opening the bag to check it myself. I took them at their word and when I got home, sure enough the order was messed up AND they had put raw onions - not slightly undercut - straight raw onions in my fried rice. I called to have it remade and was bringing back the messed up order. I was very polite because I just am but especially when someone is dealing with my food. The owner though said at my request to remake the food "maybe you shouldn't eat here anymore if we can't get your order right." Out of all the things to say when THEY made the order wrong - we will really check it next time instead of lying or will tell my kitchen to actually cook the food being served - but no the default is don't come back. Well I won't and have and will continue to tell everyone I know how rude, nasty, and ignorant the owner of this restaurant is. read more

Oriental Wok - Inside the rest , but service was so bad they dont understand what we want and the whole experience was weird - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is by far the best Chinese cuisine I've had in Cincinnati. Everything is fresh, vegetables aren't over cooked, the sauces aren't the typical "from a bottle" you find pretty much everywhere else, and the flavors are bangin. Had the pork buns, potstickers, hot and sour soup, Chengdu Chicken, and Mooshu Pork. Everything was good. No weak links. Ordered online, drove straight there from Northside. A valet greeted me in my car, brought me my food and I was home with it all piping hot. This is the only Chinese restaurant in Cincinnati for me. read more

My fiancé and I came here on a whim when we were looking up a new restaurant to try for dinner and we had a great experience! The food was incredible and so was the service! I also love the story of the Wong family coming here from China and starting this successful restaurant that now has multiple locations in the Cincinnati area. Our server, Shannon, was so friendly and knowledgeable. He helped make the experience really, really enjoyable. We started with Crab Rangoon and dumplings for apps. Both were great! The sauce on the dumplings was a tad bit spicy, which was a great addition to the flavor. The sauce with the crab rangoon was amazing! And I love that the order came with 8 pieces, so we had LOTS of crab rangoon - I never wanted them to be gone because they were so tasty! For my meal, I got the orange chicken. It was not on the menu but I saw that they had orange beef so I asked if they could do orange chicken and Shannon knew right away that it was possible. I was able to choose which rice I wanted with my chicken dish, and I got the fried rice. I was very happy with all of it! The portion was also really big, so I had about half of my meal to take home for lunch leftovers for the following day. They will also bring you more rice for no additional charge if you ask. I asked for more to take home and they even put a fresh box together for me! My fiance ordered the General Wong's chicken with fried rice - this is just like General Tso's, but named after the Wong family who owns the restaurant. He was very pleased with this dish and would order it again. All in all we had a great experience and will definitely come here again when we want Chinese food! read more

Oriental Wok is sort of a hidden gem in the city. And when I say hidden, it really kind of is. :) You can see the sign from Madison Road but finding where the actual restaurant is in the lot is a little tricky. Regardless of this, the food is excellent! Asian food is one of my favorites so finding additional, great restaurants throughout the city is a joy for me. To start, the inside is beautiful, very well kept, and pretty big. You can easily have a large group dine in for a gathering if you call in advance. For food. We started with egg rolls. They were pretty flavorful and not greasy like I've experienced at other places. For our entrees, we ordered vegetable fried rice, Hoh Fun Noodles, and Hong Kong chicken. Everything was soooooo good. If you're looking for a drink option, I would highly suggest the Mai Tai. Oh and they also have a location in Ft Mitchell if you're in that area! read more
