Our visit to Oriental Wok was nearly perfect. It was close enough to perfection for me to share a…read morefive-star review. We were meeting our friend for dinner at 6 pm on a Tuesday. The gentleman asked if we had reservations. We did not. He simply said, "Then we'll have three more guests for the evening" or something along those lines. He was very kind. Before our friend arrived, a woman stopped by to welcome us. Top notch service so far! The ambiance is beautiful. The lighted tree and decor behind us was a lot, but it felt tasteful. Jack, our server, stopped by to get us water. When our friend arrived we had a lot to talk about. Jack stopped by several times and was very chill about us taking our time. He said he didn't mind if we still weren't ready and he'd return to check on us as often as necessary. Again, kindness and patience abound at Oriental Wok. The Ma La Dumplings were absolutely delicious. The filling was delicious and the spice level, which we knew would be spicy, was perfect. Truly a wonderful bite. I had Five-Spice Tofu. The tofu was crispy as advertised and the greens were in a very light and delectable sauce. Green onions were sprinkled with the greens. I feel sometimes greens like these are an afterthought at many restaurants. At Oriental Wok they were as much a star as the crispy tofu. Mark had Orange Chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it. He mentioned the orange flavor was perfect. Either Jack asked if we wanted dessert and I missed it or he didn't ask. Our friend thought maybe he did and she said no, but she couldn't be sure. I just remember him stopping by to ask if we needed boxes. Anyway, next thing I knew we had our checks. I really wanted dessert, but I took it as a sign it was time for us to wrap up. I'm absolutely certain he would have been more than happy to bring us some dessert and update our checks, so going without was on me and that's cool. I think it's safe to say we will be back!

Other favorites are the green beans, general tso's is amazing (might be the best I've ever had), and sometimes I double order the cashew chicken because it's so damn good. I also get the shiitake mushroom with tofu very often, it's so savory and nice. I've never actually eaten in here. But this is some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. I think it's absolutely the best in the area and it even beats a lot of places in Cali for real. I think you'd probably be safe ordering anything on the menu. Big trust!!

Cumin lamb, spicy sizzling beef and the dry chili chicken are my go to--green beans, mapo tofu, and yuxiang eggplant if you need less meat in your life. The fish is amazing as well--if you don't mind bones and a bit of a wait, the whole steamed fish (not spicy!) is a real treat. Their takeout game is strong if you don't want to eat in, with easy parking outside. Check out the authentic Chinese menu if you stop by!

We got sat in the back corner hoping to enjoy dim sum and all we got was tea and some fried sticky rice. All she wanted was some steam spare ribs. We waited for 10 minutes and no waiters came to ask if we needed anything. She then got up and talked to the waitress about an order of steamed spare ribs and she said it would be out in 10 minutes. 20 minutes went by and 5 parties that came after us all got served. She was furious and got up and left while I paid for the 2 items. This time around was not a good experience since we were there just a couple days ago.

Restaurant was crowded but we were sat immediately. Service was good - not super attentive but we were able to order quickly. I had to ask for more water throughout the meal and then they brought checks and boxes before we asked while we were still eating. We ordered the dumplings, orange chicken and how fun noodles. They have a spicy scale of 1-10, I opted for the 5 on the how fun noodles, and they were spicy!! Made me wonder what a 10 would taste like. Dumplings were good - though the bottom broke on them while we were eating them. Definitely homemade! My daughter loved the orange chicken / it also had cucumbers which she didn't love. My noodles were okay - nothing memorable in terms of flavor and very spicy. Overall a bright, well themed restaurant but I don't think I'd go back for the food.

The inside decor was beautiful and fun, and our server was great- friendly and attentive. We both got the Grouper stir fry which I was initially nervous about (should I be ordering grouper in KY?!) but it was amazing! My friend had never had it, but got it because I said I always loved it in FL. Well it did not disappoint- juicy and buttery, cooked perfectly, in the light white sauce. There were about 3 good sized pieces so it was a generous serving. Came with a mix of veggies- carrots, broccoli, snow peas, baby corn, and bok choy I believe. Served with a size of rice. Nice to eat the full serving and still feel healthy, while also a truly delicious dish! Can't wait to come back and try more.
