So I admit that when it comes to Asian Cuisine, I may not be looking for all that authentic. Maybe my general dislike of fish flavors. Growing up in the country, we would only eat at a Chinese place maybe twice a year. But in those non-authentic versions, there is still a world of difference [...]

“Ninety percent of our customers are Oriental,” said the owner. “They want authentic food and they’ll know if we don’t serve them the best.” We were sitting in a tiny, gleaming-clean restaurant way out east near Mingo waiting for the owner’s husband. He’s the chef but he’d gone to pick up their daughter from school. [...]

Finally, an authentic Chinese restaurant in Tulsa. People sometimes ask me what I miss most about New York. They expect me to say the crowds, or the theatres, or the boundless wave-tossed sea. I always answer, Chinese restaurants. Entering a Chinese restaurant in New York, whether it’s hidden in an alley in the depths of [...]

Here comes Tulsa’s very first Panda Express! Panda Express is the newest addition to the 71st Street restaurant line up.  This west coast chain offers all your favorite Chinese dishes fast, hot and fresh.  One of my favorites to order is the 2 entree dish with Orange Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken with white rice.  [...]

Latest visit to New World Buffet… I have noticed that over the years Chinese buffets in Tulsa have been getting worse. I don’t know if it is objectively related to the lost quality of such buffets or I myself have been getting pickier about food and décor lately. Nevertheless, it has become difficult for me [...]

After hearing several people rave about The Great Wall, I had to give it a shot. The building itself is nothing special with a smell that is a little musty and in desperate need of a coat of paint. The staff was very nice and helpful though. For starters we ordered some of their homemade [...]

Pei Wei is a great Asian restaurant; grab lunch, dinner, or a to-go order. Every meal is made-to-order, with fresh ingredients.  They have three locations in Tulsa, but I like the one on Tulsa’s Brookside. It’s an upscale Asian restaurant at reasonable prices.  The atmosphere is authentic and modern, with a menu sampling flavors from [...]

The Best Chinese Food in Tulsa – Reviewed by: Jimby Chopsticks is clearly the best Chinese restaurant in Tulsa. Anyone who has tried the various options in Tulsa knows that there aren’t many good Chinese restaurants here. In fact, in Tulsa, Chinese food seems to equal unappetizing lunch buffets. Not at Chopsticks. The food is [...]

If you are looking for a nice and cozy atmosphere for you and your honey…search no more. Tei Kei’s of Tulsa is just what you are looking for. Their sweet and sour chicken is to die for. It comes hot with rice mixed with mushrooms, noodles, and spices. The sweet and sour sauce is just [...]

Cute little place, where the owners, and wait staff will know your name after one visit! Very homey, and peaceful. I love this restaurant, and find the orange chicken delightful. The spring rolls are probably not homemade, but still taste delicious. Great first date place, or romantic inexpensive dinner spot. When you first pull up [...]

I was at this restaurant last week that was suppose to be the only authentic Chinese restaurant in Tulsa, Chopsticks. I think there are certain things that were phenomenal, but nothing that i couldn’t live without never eating again. The Spring Rolls not so much, I dont think they were handmade, and had a weird [...]
