Our visit to Oriental Wok was nearly perfect. It was close enough to perfection for me to share a five-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! read more

A little bit of Hong Kong in Cincinnati had us wishing we have been visiting this gem for years. To say the service is top notch would be an understatement. Our server was not only knowledgeable, he was super accommodating and on top of everything and a visit from Susanne and share of love for Asian cuisine made our stop even lovlier. We have the siu mai dim sum as an appetizer. These four tasty dumplings were some of the best I've had in the area. Our entrées included the spicy grouper with an add-on of shrimp and was one of the best meals I've had in recent memory. The Singapore noodles were perfection and included plenty of shrimp, which were just as juicy as the ones in our other dish. The staff even shared a complementary after dinner, beverage, and dessert with us - over the top and much appreciated. My only regret is that I forgot to take photos until we were halfway through this phenomenal meal. read more

I would 100% recommend everyone to come here! The staff were so friendly and attentive, the food was prepared fresh, and the restaurant itself was cozy and welcoming! There are a lot of items on the menu, so that could be a little overwhelming for some, but everything looked really delicious. To begin, we ordered some lettuce wraps, chicken maki, and the ma la dumplings. Each of them were really fantastic. For my main meal, I ordered the sichuan triple because I couldn't decide! It was plenty for my meal and enough to enjoy the next day. When we came, we didn't have a reservation, so we did have to wait a few minutes (which was totally fine). However, I recommend making a reservation for your visit when you stop by! You won't regret coming here for dinner. read more

Carry out only review: We placed an order for pick up. When we arrived we were a little unsure about parking vs pulling up to the door due to signs stating it was valet only. Upon walking inside, a kind man told us he would have brought it out to the car, so next time just pull on up! That is nice to know. I think the eggrolls were the best i've ever had. They had chicken and peanuts inside which is unusual and quite tastier than the normal cabbage and shrimp. The chicken fried rice was a huge portion and tasted fine but could have used more seasoning. The hot and sour soup was good, definitely spicy and did include a small amount of crispy fried noodles for topping. Seasoned chicken wings were nice and crispy. Very plain so easy to use any type of dipping sauce you like. I used the sauce that came with eggrolls and it was tasty. Beef and broccoli meal was decently portioned and tasted good. The side of lo mein was large and i really enjoyed the sauce. It was not just grease like most places! In fact, it really wasn't greasy at all. I'd order the lo mein and just eat that! overall, we had a good experience and look forward to trying more menu items. The inside seemed nice so we may try to dine in next time! read more

We were a party of 5. Everyone enjoyed their food. One compliment was that the pad ti was the best he ever had. The shrimp toast was a hit with everyone. The sea bass was huge. As far as service our waitress was an A+. Kate did everything over the top for us. We are a hard bunch to take care of. And the bus people were running around taking care of things. Very helpful and efficient. We will be back. read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars because that is the experience we had. I was celebrating my birthday and that is how we were treated. I am so glad we made a reservation because it was a busy Saturday night. We started with the ma la dumplings in spicy oil and an egg roll, both were so flavorful. The staff and owners were so attentive and full of information and friendly. The decor and vibe of this place is very authentic and attention to detail is amazing, you would never guess driving by this apartment building. The menu was full of regular items but also had some extra gems. My husband tried one of those the scallop and mushrooms, he also asked for extra spicy special sauce and they delivered. At the end of the meal I was treated to the birthday celebration ice cream, budda and gong fireworks then even more treats a rasberry chocolate after dinner drink. I highly recommend and can't wait to visit this city again to go back!!!!!!!! A good way to celebrate a birthday VIP style. read more

A bit of a drive for us but completely worth it! We needed strict Gluten Free for one order and you guys are great about that. From your menu to your service. The GF pad Thai was very good as was the vegetable fried rice. Might have been the best fried rice I've ever had. Loved being able to sub brown rice and adding cashews for protein and crunch. We will definitely be back! Curbside pickup always a plus in winter! read more

Had an awesome birthday dinner last night at Oriental Wok. Our server, Brenden did a fantastic job. He knew the menu really well and we enjoyed his recommendations. For my birthday he rolled over the Buddha statue and led the singing. I was embarrassed but I appreciated his service! We started with cocktails, crab Rangoon, and ma la dumplings. Everything was fantastic but we loved the Rangoons. Best goons in the city. The beer they have a collab with Rhinegeist on is really good. The mandarin mule is also refreshing. We got a side of green beans and now I'll get those every time. Still crunchy. We split shrimp lo mein, sesame chicken, and the chengdu stir fry with chicken. Everything was super good. Prices are super reasonable, the vibe is great, service is top knotch. Love oriental wok. read more

Seriously, it's my favorite Chinese restaurant in the city. The majority of my visits are spent in the bar area for Happy Hour Tuesday - Friday from 4pm-7pm. The bar staff is awesome, and they serve theeeeeee best Lychee Martinis. In addition to the staff's awesomeness, you will also meet the friendliest patrons in the bar area. It's certainly one of those places you can go solo yet still engage in friendly conversations. As for the food, tonight I opted for the Spicy Grouper, subbing broccoli for the usual bell peppers, with a side of fried rice. O.M.Goodness!!! It is one of my new favorite dishes. If you love spicy food, this dish is for you. For my fellow Yelpers who appreciate vegetarian and pescatarian dishes, the options are plenty. Cheers! read more

Quick review from a take out order a few weeks back. The food is okay, nothing special. Really not any different than the strip mall carry out places that dot the landscape Maybe it was because it was carry out. I don't know. For the price I expected better. We'll try dining in sometime and see if it's better. I hope so. The place has a great reputation but in my limited experience Double Dragon around the corner in Norwood is a flavor/quality equal, and that shouldn't be the case. read more

Our last night visiting Cincinnati, we were in search of a nice sit down restaurant. We stumbled upon Oriental Wok and decided to try them out. We were welcomed right when we walked in and seated right away. Our server, Brenden, was great! Polite, attentive and knowledgeable. We started off with an order of krab rangoons. As Brenden said "the best krab rangoons you've ever had". They were fried perfectly, loaded with sweet and flavorful cream cheese filling. A must order item! For dinner, we shared an order of pork fried rice, side of white rice and general Wong's chicken. Absolutely amazing! The fried rice was fantastic and full of flavor. The general Wong's chicken had no breading but was lightly fried. The sauce was flavorful, not overly sweet. The veggies were also cooked well. Everything tasted very high quality and fresh. We were very full after dinner but wanted to try the mango custard. We ordered one to-go and shared it back in our hotel room. It was so delicious! The texture was smooth and creamy, not eggy like custard can be sometimes. One of the best mango desserts I've ever had! I highly recommend Oriental Wok! Wonderful service, phenomenal food, beautiful decor! I can see why they've been in business for almost 50 years. Make sure to read the inspiration family story in the menu! read more

Excellent--Gregory is. Great. And. Suzanne owner is very meticulous in her management of the business and they make everyone feel welcome

I had dinner here recently with my cousin and we both had a great time. The food was really good and the service was excellent! We started by having cocktails and an appetizer. We ordered the Crab Rangoons to share. I ordered a Manhattan - my cousin ordered the Easy Tiger from their cocktails list. The Crab Rangoons were delicious! Great flavor and fried perfectly. My cocktail was divine and my cousin said her cocktail was really tasty also. For our entrees I ordered the Cumin Beef off the authentic menu and my cousin ordered the Sesame Chicken. The food was great! Crisp vegetables, the meat tender and seasoned well. The service was fantastic! Friendly and attentive without hovering. I'd definitely come back again. Probably soon since my husband finished my leftovers and enjoyed it quite a bit. read more

I went to this establishment after a co-worker recommended them. The ambiance was nice, and the food was delicious. My girlfriend was leaving our deployment, so it was a farewell dinner. She had the seabass grilled well done. It was the best seabass I had ever had. I alo ordered the egg roll. It was way too much chicken in it. The spring roll has fresh veggies you will enjoy. Their crab rangoon was banging. It had a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. I ordered the Mongolian beef dish. It was spicy and amazing. I'm not going to lie. I'm going back before I leave home to enjoy that seabass cooked well done. To all my Yelpers, let's continue to eat our way through the world. #FOODIE4LIFE!! read more

Great food in charming atmosphere. Will return. Charlie provided excellent service.

This is my go-to Chinese Food spot. I love it here. Food, service and full bar: all high-quality, fresh, and lovely.

Our only regret is we hadn't tried it sooner. If you remember a restaurant called "Grand China " on Glenway Ave, this is the closest we have found. The egg rolls are delicious. The restaurant is nicely decorated the service was great. Can't wait to go back. read more

It was such a pleasant dining experience today. I loved every moment. They were so kind, efficient and the food was exceptional. Fabulous evening and really felt like a special occasion. We tried the shrimp toast, crab rangoon, spring rolls, mala sichuan chicken, chang stir fry, and pan friend noodles. Every morsel was memorable. Even the sauces that accompanied the appetizers were memorable! Items are around $20 and one entree plate is probably enough per person. We are already looking forward to going back. It was such a stress free dining experience, the staff was so helpful. read more

I'm kicking myself for not trying this place earlier! It's really good. Their vegetables are fresh, meat is tender, grains are cooked just right. You can tell this restaurant pays special attention to their prep work and quality which I can truly appreciate. I am also in love with their wonton soup. The wontons are made of chicken and it is very simple yet comforting. The overall design of the place is incredible, I could spend several minutes just admiring the decor. I will be honest and say the price is pretty high but it is worth it if you are just getting 1 or 2 entrees. I want to try more of their menu since the food that I have tried is really good but will have to space it out overtime. Luckily this restaurant is here to stay. One word to describe their service is kind. Everyone is so helpful with giving me recommendations and bringing the food to my car which I truly appreciate. read more

WOW!! My family and I ate at this restaurant for the first time tonight and we're now forever customers. Everything here is positively notable. First, the ambiance of dining room is absolutely gorgeous. The koi ponds, the lanterns, the dragons leading upstairs, the chandelier - just beautiful. Our waiter was out of this world awesome - very attentive, conversational and spent a great deal of time with us. The owner also walks around and chats with the customers, which we thought was super nice. All of our food was amazing and I highly recommend the shrimp and mushroom dish. The ice cream, key lime pie and red blend wine are also fun items to choose from. Seriously, this was some of the best food I've ever had and you have to check this place out at least once. I already want to go back! read more

Oriental Wok - Shrimp and Mushrooms dish - SO good!!! - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

GLUTEN FREE choices abound and the flavors are fantastic. I had dim sum (shrimp dumplings), and Singapore Street noodles - the BEST I've ever had. A delicate curry sauce without the oil/grease, yet the veggies were perfectly stir fried. And, it came with chicken, shrimp AND pork. Our server was attentive and helpful, the bar (cocktails - amazing!), wines, and beers offered had a very nice selection (a Cotes du Rhone rose was perfect). The tables are large with lazy-Susan servers in the center, chairs are very comfortable, lighting just right. Our host was a mature gentleman who greeted us with a warm smile. I cannot wait to go back again... a lovely dining establishment where EVERYONE can enjoy a great meal together. read more

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
