    House special Spicy Shrimp

    In town for business. CG was close to the hotel and had good reviews. I went in at 5:45pm on a Tuesday. Not busy at all. Got seated immediately and had food out in less than 10 minutes. For those that know traditional spicy shrimp, this was spot on! Dusting of breading to hold the salt and deep fried with the shell on, which most will eat. If prepared properly, the shell is crispy and edible, adding a great texture and umami to the dish. CG nailed it. It was SO good! Ambiance was average, but I didn't got there for ambiance

    A sign out front said lunch specials $6.99 but the menu said $7.99. They must have recently raised their prices. We were greeted by a very friendly proprietor. Dan ordered Mongolian beef and I got Kung Pau chicken. I had trouble deciding because the sweet and spicy eggplant. I love eggplant but don't often find it on menus. On the other hand, it's difficult to pass up the peanuts in the Kung Pau. Oh decisions. The egg roll was the best part of both dishes. It was extremely crisp and light. It's much better than egg rolls from other restaurants. My husband complained that his dish was too oily. I had him taste mine and he said it was too oily for his tastes, too. I'm more tolerant of oil than Dan is, but I'd say it was a bit more oily than Kung Pau I've had at other restaurants. The portions were slightly smaller than what I'm use to in other restaurants, but I left full and Dan asked for a to go box. I wish I could give 3.5 stars. That would better measure today's experience. It's difficult to measure being fair to the business and not misleading customers. I heard people talking about Lo Mein. Next time I will try that. I noticed you can get a side of Lo Mein for $3.99. This place is definitely worth a try. We are glad we did.

    This restaurant is quaint. We stayed approximately 1 1/2 hours, taking our time enjoying each other. The staff was sweet and compassionate. The food was good but I didn't explore. My hubby assumed the Mongolia Beef would be spicier. He requested they add some chili spice... he was pleased with the result. I enjoyed the veggie stir fried rice. During the conversation I found out that they have vegetable tempura type tofu. So next time, I will give it a try.

    This is where I go when I want solid Chinese food options in East Tulsa. This is an unsuspecting little space that is obviously dated and kind of run down. don't let that stop you from going inside to experience some VERY friendly folks who deliver amazing quality food. I get that some places go all out on decor and keeping it bright and shiny. Again, you won't find that here. I have to rave on though about the food and the service. The first few pages of the menu in my mind tell you about what they really do. Lots of pictures and food spelled out in english only. Flip to the second half and it's no longer english! That tells me they cater to a crowd of folks who want traditionally prepared and serve cuisine! You'll find some Szechuan and cantonese fair and I've yet to have a dish here that didn't blow my socks off! Hands down a great spot and one I'll keep going back to so long as the doors stay open!

    My first visit to China Garden on 31st was yesterday evening. I was greeted by an elderly gentleman whom I assume was the owner and who was eating his supper and watching a show on his tablet. He was very polite and welcoming. As I had placed my order via Yelp he was expecting me since no one else was in the restaurant. Shortly after arriving and while waiting for my order two elderly Asian couples arrived. This made me very happy as it did the owner. They all carried on in their native language for a bit and sat down to order their food. These interactions are what I always look for when finding a new restaurant. I've traveled all over the world and this helps to identify a great choice in dining in most cases. One thing I usually do when traveling is to ask the owners or cooks to make me what they would eat for their meals to get the most authentic food possible. Will probably do this next time. Any way... Our takeout consisted of General Tso's Chicken, Dry Pot BOK Choy, Sichuan Tofu, Crab Wontons, and Veggie Spring Rolls. We also received a very spicy Sichuan Pork with Green Beans dish that we didn't order so, apologies to whoever might have been missing a meal. We were already home downtown when we discovered it. I must say I had very high hopes after reading several reviews. For the most part, I was satisfied with the overall freshness and flavors of the food. I do love how they don't over-Americanize their dishes. The General Tso's Chicken was very good with a sticky sauce and tender white meat chicken although I prefer a bit more spicy heat. Very good though. My wife had the Sichuan Tofu which she often gets from other places and I could tell she wasn't overly enthused although she said she might order it again. The wontons and spring rolls did not disappoint and were my favorite part bringing out the kid in me who is usually satisfied with a meal consisting of appetizers though I rarely do that nowadays. We initially ordered Dry Pot Cauliflower but they were out so we substituted BOK Choy. I must say I wasn't expecting just a container of Steamed BOK Choy in a clear sauce. It had no flavor and was just limp veg so it was not too appealing to me. The final dish which we don't order but received was the Sichuan Pork with Green Beans. We don't eat pork but I tasted/ate the green beans and was very impressed with the spicy heat I was looking for in my General Tso's! Too bad I couldn't eat the rest of the dish because the flavor of the sauce was my favorite of them all. All in all, I look forward to trying other dishes from China Garden and finding the ones I know I will like even better and that I know are there.

    Lunch special
    Tuan P.

    I am a supporter of local business my rating may be biased because of it. So one of the really good features of China Garden is the lunch special which is really cheap. I do feel they need to update the banner in the front because the lunch special is $7.99 now and the sign still says $6.99. The portion size is on the smaller side but I expected this because of the price. I love the sweet and spicy eggplant and would get the same thing if I go back. It's delicious. I always get dumplings especially when it says homemade. For the most part, I am happy with them. One of them is opened at the bottom. I am not sure when these were made but probably not on the same day. Wherever they got the chili oil, they need to find a different brand because there's a bitter taste. You definitely do not come here for the service. The owners are really nice people but service is slow. I am not sure what happened but they gave me chopsticks to eat with my plate. Maybe the chopsticks were for the dumplings but then they took it back when I asked for a fork. I didn't really understand what happened there.

    Dried pot ribs.
    Liz S.

    Winnah winnah Chinese dinnah. Everything we had was fabulous!!! Dried pot ribs, beef chow fun, curried chicken and double fried Seabass. Drove all the way from Joplin, Mo. to Tulsa and found this gem of a Chinese restaurant. We shall return.

    Bean sauce fish & sweet and spicy eggplant
    Dasha L.

    My new go-to Chinese spot in Tulsa county! I'm a huge fan of eggplant and theirs is fantastic! Also loved the bean sauce fish (just add a little bit of salt or soy sauce if you like a little saltier), and kung pao chicken was also solid but on the spicy side. Loooved the fresh hot sesame balls--they give you 10! Unpretentious but lovely atmosphere and great service

    Chicken lomein
    Myranda K.

    I enjoyed my flavorful chicken lomein. The egg drop soup portions were generous and some of the best I've ever had with carrots and peas. Definitely enough soup for at least two people. The wait was slightly longer than. they said it would be, but I could see they were working hard in there and had a long line. They were pretty friendly.

    Simple interior.

Coming from California, where there are an abundance of quality Chinese cuisine establishments, we were about to give up. We found this place and decided to give it a shot. First, the ambiance is delightful, very clean and ample seating. There is an outside dining area, which would be marvelous to try if it wasn't so bloody hot outside. Anyway, the menu is pretty extensive. We ordered Kung Pao chicken, steamed buns with pork belly, beef fried rice, house special lo mein, dumplings, and egg rolls. The dumplings were on the small side, but some of the most flavorful ones we have had. The egg rolls were not a disappointment either. The chicken was good, but not very Kung Pao, more Kung Mild. The beef fried rice was thoroughly cooked and tasty. The house special lo mein noodles were excellent. My favorite was the steamed buns with pork belly. They was plenty of delicious pork belly and the steamed buns made it even better. They do charge entree prices for sides, which is a little absurd and should be addressed. They serve Pepsi products. We will definitely be back as this is top tier Chinese food for Oklahoma.

But it is better at a lot of other places around Tulsa.

    *** Review is during COVID-19 ***…read more Was craving some Chinese food recently and Yelp led me to China 8... and I'm glad it did! I knew I wanted something that felt like a classic night of Chinese takeout but a little more of a local spot and not TOO cookie cutter either. It turns out this was the right place for that - it felt like the best of both worlds! Staff person at front counter was wearing a face shield and they had moved the tables completely out of the way so I think they are not doing dine-in right now. We ordered two soups to share - the egg drop and the hot and sour. I've never really liked hot and sour soup but I gave it a try anyway. I still didn't love it but others said it was good haha. The egg drop soup was good, but I do feel like it was a little lacking in flavor. I know egg drop soup is pretty simple on purpose but I still felt like it could have used one more spice or ingredient. I liked that it came with wonton strips, which were good. The soup we ordered was fine, but it luckily didn't match the rest of the food, which on the other hand seemed much better than just "fine". For my main meal I had the kung pao chicken. To me, it wasn't spicy, but thee sauce was so good that I didn't really mind - which is kind of rare since I almost always want spicy food! The sauce was super sweet and full of flavor. I hadn't tasted something like it when I've had that dish before, and I thought that was really cool. They gave a good amount of chicken too! I substituted the rice for lomein because I was really in the mood for noodles. It was a great choice - they were super yummy as well! I'm not sure they are or not, but the noodles almost seemed homemade, like you could taste the flouriness of them... in a good way. Everyone agreed the lomein was really good. Maybe the best I've had! The portion size was really good, especially for the price - win win!! They have a small and large size for pretty much everything and we got the large for entrees and the soup as well. One other thing I specifically noticed in general was that everything tasted like a distinct dish instead of everything kind of tasting the same, like I feel is sometimes the case at similar places. Don't let the unassuming outside fool you! It may seem like your average Chinese spot but I really felt like it was so much less generic, while also not straying far from what you expect at all either. Definitely want to go back!

Yet and still, there are few restaurants that consistently deliver on 3 of the most important consumer qualities: ambiance, food, and service. As a local Asian Fusion restaurant that embraces both cuisine and ambiance, Roka sets itself apart from most Asian restaurants with their cutting-edge menu items, inviting happy hour deals and consistent service. I didn't eat out often growing up but I vividly remember passing Roka & fantasizing what it's like inside given it's one of a kind design. I was first impressed by their fried rice when ordering out in 2015 but this review is regarding my visit on October 25th, 2025. A dear friend of mine invited me out on a Saturday and I suggested Roka, one of the most reliable restaurants in town. We arrived around 4pm and, to my surprise, there was plenty of seating available. We were sat by the host and our server came shortly after. I can't recall her name but she did have great suggestions and delivered quality service. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken (reg) while my friend ordered the Sweet & Sour (sm.). The meal arrived in almost record time! I was delighted to look at our colorful, carefully assembled, plates. My meal had a considerable serving size and an even better taste. The chicken was soft, tender and juicy. With compliments from the peppers & rice, I couldn't have been more satisfied. My friend (who is picky) wasn't a fan of the mix of peppers & pineapple but I think she liked it more than she cared to admit. Overall, I had the most pleasant afternoon at Roka thanks to the everpleasing service and most tranquil of settings. It's important to show appreciation to the institutions that you enjoy, which is why I will continue to support/enjoy! Roka provides a welcoming venue, satisfactory menu items and superb service upon every visit which sets itself apart from most other Asian restaurants and above chains like P.F. Changs or Hibachis. If you're in the mood for an affordable upscale dinner with great vibes, this is the place to visit.
