The service was fast, friendly and accommodating. Complimentary drinks while you wait. The food was the best Chinese I have ever had. I shared a Volcano Chicken entree & crab Rangoons with a friend and had food leftover for the next day! Best place in Cincinnati. read more

I was extremely impressed with the Oriental Wok. Great server, great ambiance, and really good food. It's a tad bit pricey, but you get a lot of food for your money. We never got 1 of the 2 appetizers we ordered, however the server had that boxed up to go with our leftovers. Not enough to take off a star as he was very nice about it and it would have been too much food to begin with. I had the Hoh Fun noodles which were a solid 7/10 and my wife had sesame chicken which was very very good 9/10. Their chicken eggrolls are really tasty, and aren't dripping grease like some I've had at other places. Will most definitely come back again. read more

Housed in the Regency, this is a pretty big space complete with a bar and a private dining room. The menu is large and reasonably priced. We had leftovers for the next day and were stuffed. A decent choice for Chinese in the area. read more

This was our first time at the restaurant. We used the curbside option. It was very organized and fast. However, the food once we got home was awful. Nothing tasted right, the chicken was soft and mushy on the inside and in the fried rice it was bland. The only edible thing was the side order of fried rice. According to other reviews this place is great. But tonight this was hands down the worst experience at any restaurant I've had in a long time. I never write reviews but this was so awful I felt like I needed to say something. read more

Food is very good and until today the portion sizes have been good. Today I paid $10 for sweet and sour chicken that was not much bigger than chicken nuggets and very stingy with the rice. What happened? read more

How have I lived in Cincinnati for years and have never been here?! This was, by far, THE BEST Chinese food experience I have had in Cincinnati. Service is wonderful, the decor is tasteful and pretty, and the food was excellent - all of it! I enjoyed reading the menu and learning about the family history behind the restaurant, complete with photos. When I looked up I recognized one of the girls from the photo, Suzanna Wong, was at our table and she welcomed us to the restaurant. She was super friendly and helpful with the menu. I enjoyed chatting with her about Hong Kong, her family, and the restaurant. We tried some appetizers: the scallion pancake with eggplant (YUM!), shrimp dumpling dim sum (nice and plump) and BBQ pork bun dim sum (perfectly sweet and fluffy). I was already won over at this point! For dinner we had the Hoh Fun beef noodles (SO GOOD! I could live off those thick wide noodles) and Sichuan Triple (beef, shrimp, chicken). For dessert we were treated to mango custard which was booming with flavor and paired well with the whipped cream and strawberries. It's a little more expensive than your typical Chinese restaurant but does laps around the competition- quality is excellent and portions are large. We took home enough food for several more meals. Once we finish those I know we'll be back here again soon. I got a peek at the banquet room - It's beautiful and perfect place to host a party or meeting. So glad I finally discovered Oriental Wok!! read more

Lovely decor. Very clean. Our waitress Samantha was wonderful. Started with the fun volcano drink. Next we had crab Rangoon's which were the best I've ever had. Eggroll was delicious and One person in our group had won ton soup and said it was delish. Shrimp pad Thai was perfect. Cosmos are very good. A visit from the owners daughter was delightful. She was very courteous and we had a nice conversation with her. Good crunchy noodles too. Def. wish we had a restaurant like this on the west side of Cincy. read more

You know those restaurants where you really feel like they care about your dining experience? Oriental Wok is one of those places. As soon as you walk in to Oriental Wok, you are greeted by a friendly and attentive staff eager to make your dining experience incredible. The waiters are attentive without being annoying, and the manager walks around and chats with you like you're best friends. This place is upscale without being stuffy. The decor is great, from the oriental inspired decorations to the plush pillows in the booths, it is comfortable and upscale all at the same time. I've been here twice- both times on a Friday night-- and never had to wait for a table. The restaurant is pretty big, and although I've never seen it full, it always has a good crowd. They have a good size menu with something from everyone. Although they offer a good assortment of unique dishes, I've always stuck with the more traditional items. I really like their moo shu chicken. As far as appetizers---their rolls are served 1 to an order, which sort of caught me off guard at first, but also allows you to mix and match options without having to order tons of food. Their shrimp and cheese roll is good, sort of like a crab rangoon with shrimp replacing the crab. The eggroll is also good and is very authentic (from what I've heard). This place is a little pricier, and most entrees cost around 15 or 16 dollars. This is a great place for date night or for those other special occasions. Or, if you are just craving good Chinese and don't mind paying for it. read more

My biggest thing with any Asian cuisine is how is the rice prepared. I must say it was done well it was delicate and soft. My main entree was the volcano chicken prepared excellently. The green and red peppers enhances the plate presentation. The chicken was plump and moist making the meal enjoyable for my anniversary. read more

Oriental Wok - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Group of 12 friends went to Oriental Wok last night. We had great food and superb service. It was a little more upscale than I expected given I'm usually there at lunch, but not stuffy. We had a great time. Some restaurants are so loud it is hard with a group our size to have a conversation. Oriental Wok was great atmosphere for our group to talk to and hear each other. Order extra spicy if you like spice - the dishes denoted as spicy aren't really that hot. Again, great service. Best dumplings/pot stickers EVER. Everyone loved what they got. They split our bill all kinds of ways to accommodate mix of couples and singles. Very nicely done. Highly recommend read more

The service and food was amazing. We ordered the shrimp fried rice and sesame chicken and loved both. The fried rice was one of the best I've had for being such a simple dish. My boyfriend and I had never been here before so we did not know what to expect but we loved it. All of the managers were friendly and eager to help while the busser, Dominick, was even more kind and friendly! Although the prices are more than your average Chinese food, we will return because of the service. read more

A fantastic dining experience. I've driven past the restaurant for years and was always intrigued with the location. I had heard good things but was hesitant to go in on a Saturday evening with 2 younger children (they behave at "fancy places") First, the service was impeccable. The owner was hands on and was incredibly kind to our entire family even though they were rather busy. Our server was fantastic. Most importantly, the food was excellent. I'm old enough to remember Chinese restaurants leaned more formal, and The Oriental Wok was a great throwback to that time. My wifes orange chicken was better than I've ever had. Wonton soup tasted authentic and homemade. Pepper Steak was great as well. Plenty to take home. although it is a little more pricey than some, it is well worth the cleanliness, service and experience read more

Among the best Egg drop soup & Salmon in a chinese restaurant I ever had. Egg role was good . Excellent ambience, exceptional service by the chinese waiter who was very traditional but could speak very good english too. read more

I just finished my meal here and it was absolutely outstanding. Our server and the owner helped us and they went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal. They even gave us complimentary drinks before we left! We will definitely be back read more

We love coming to Oriental Wok not only for the delicious food but for the amazing staff and owners who welcome our family as if we are an extension of their own. We have been celebrating birthdays, holidays and family gatherings with Oriental Wok for the past 5 years and have always been met with incredible hospitality. read more

Awesome service and gourmet Chinese food - a real gem. Significantly better experience than last visit. Definitely coming back again and again! read more

I pretty much never give 5 stars. So 4 stars should say allot about this place. In one word I would describe this place as quality. The quality of food I was served here was excellent and it was def a step or two above your average fast food Panda Express level of food. Would highly recommend, very good read more

Food is really good here and I try to eat here as much as possible but only get 30 minute lunch breaks and its really hard for our office staff to get in and out that quick. We have tried takeout numerous times but its almost impossible to get through during lunch time, so we quit going here. Let us know if you ever get online ordering because it would be a god send, and you would earn our business back Atmosphere is really nice. I have met the owner and she is a sweetheart. She is very active in the restaurant and comes out to chat with tables frequently. read more

Nothing special here for me. Egg drop soup was above average. Fried rice was good but I hate it when it looks like it was put on the plate with an ice cream scoop! The twice cooked pork was barely edible; far too greasy and too much fat on the pork. I'll pass on this place next time. read more

Oriental Wok - Twice cooked porked entree - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Great food and great ownership. Took my spouse and family for a birthday dinner. Food was delicious and staff was very gracious. We felt like we were family by the time we left. Thank you read more

WOW! Went to oriental wok for the first time this evening and was blown away. I felt very safe COVID-wise with excellent social distancing. Suzanna was an exceptional host/owner/manager (not quite sure which) that made me feel extremely secure with a peanut/treenut allergy. To top off an incredible experience service wise... the food was IMMACULATE. The spring rolls were huge and delish, and the entrees were a great size and great. They gave us icecream and time with a golden Buddha statue for our anniversary. So lovely. 10/10 would recommend and I CANNOT WAIT to come again. read more

Absolutely love this place! They have a great selection of authentic chinese and chinese-american dishes wish fresh ingredients and scratch made sauces. The owners are always out touching tables and interacting with guests, and make any occasion very special. Their cocktails and desserts are really great as well! read more

I ordered from Oriental Wok via DoorDash while at work. I have been searching for a good Hot and Sour soup in Cincinnati and I have finally found it! Great heat (both in temperature and spice level) with great ingredients. I was beyond surprised! Will definitely be a returning customer after driving by this location for so many years. read more

This is, by far, my favorite Asian themed restaurant that I have ever been to. Their Pad Thai is the very best EVER! when you order carry out you get enormous portions. I end up eating mine for 2 meals. I can't begin to recommend this incredible restaurant strongly enough!!!a read more

Service exceptional for our party of six. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Wok stir fried salmon with black bean sauce was yummy. Big chunks of salmon, great variety of vegetables, savory sauce. read more

Wish I'd hadn't waited so long to come here (which I've intended to since it opened in 2009!) Beautiful oriental decor - high end and classy unlike most casual Chinese restaurants in the area. Great service and delicious food - the shrimp cheese roll appetizer had large pieces of shrimp inside and I loved the moo shu chicken with hoisin sauce rolled up in thin pancakes. Really nice bar and rooms for private dining parties. Definitely the best Chinese restaurant I've experienced in Cincinnati. read more

I have actually never had chinese food that had this little flavor and this much grease (I had rice noodle dish). The beef was nicely cooked and tender though lacked flavor; I didn't eat the rest of the greasy mess. My dad's lo mein was not quite so greasy but had no flavor. Ditto my husband's entree. And the prices! These are PF Chang prices but school cafeteria flavor. The appetizer menu had a selection titled Viagra Shrimp - that is not a typo. Not only bad flavor but poor taste as well. read more

Everything was excellent. The decor took me back to when I was young. We often ate in Chinese restaurants with my Dad and grandparents before the days of the buffet. It was nice to get quality ingredients like asparagus in the grouper stir fry. Sui mai dumpling were perfect. Our server was hardworking and kind. This restaurant is a gem. read more

Despite the un-PC name, oriental wok is one of the more authentic restaurants in Cincinnati. The eggplant is good, but like most asian eateries in cincinnati, the dishes tend to have a little too much sauce. I think it just may be how people prefer it here. Shrug! If you're comfortable, I'd definitely recommend asking for something off the asian menu, particularly the sea bass. The waiters are fluent in Mandarin, Canto, and Taiwanese. read more

Great atmosphere, kind of slow service but redeemed themselves when our nice waiter brought us all raspberry liquor/sweet cream drinks on the house and was very accommodating to my food requests (trying to be low carb low sugar)! I got the grouper and it was good, the sauce was amazing but the veggie mix was all broccoli and maybe two slices of carrots and one asparagus tip. Great variety of food here read more

Outstanding meal at the Oriental Wok tonight. Had the cumin lamb special and in a word, it was fabulous. Guy came out and told us how he had prepared the dish and it is obvious it was a true labor of love. Will be back soon to try other dishes. read more

Hands down, the best Asian restaurant in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. This is a family operation with the owners actively involved in all the facets of the business. Including and most importantly, what goes on in and comes out of the kitchen. With the family's supreme competence comes a sense of well-being for the customer. The food is of the highest order and represents Chinese haute cuisine as well as home cooking specialties. Full imaginative drinks selection. Price point is just right. read more

This place always shows up in Cincinnati's 10 best restaurants, so I was excited to try it out. We went for lunch on a weekday afternoon, and we were the ONLY people there for our ENTIRE lunch, and even then, I had to flag down a server. Food was fine, decor is outrageous and interesting, but I just can't see going back. read more

I don't get the fuss about this place. Food was bland, though portions were large. I really think it caters to seniors and multigenerational families celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. read more

The waiter was very nice and funny. Service was prompt, and most importantly, the food was incredible!

When we arrived and gave our name, the host immediately told her colleague about our Special Request. Service good. Ambiance nice. Food delicious; best we have had in Cincinnati. Unfortunately, the Chicken Egg Roll was overcooked. read more

Oriental Wok is in an unfortunate location i feel. Being off the street in an apartment complex, I never really thought to go here. we came for a birthday though. Excellent customer service. They have a very attentive staff from the moment you come in. An experience I've not had anywhere else. The moment we came in for our reservation they reassured us our table would be ready soon. The owner chatted it up with us a bit as well. They have a nice waiting area/ bar to wait in that doesn't feel you are in the way or the middle of everything. Our waiter was very entertaining and energetic. He knew how to work the room. For birthdays they bring out a big gold Buddha and gong. They seem to go out of their way to have a great experience and service. I definitely wouldn't ignore this place in the future. read more

Our favorite local Chinese. Do not be put off by the fact that due to the location, this place often resembles the dining hall at a retirement home. The food is excellent across the board, the portions are generous and the staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming. We will continue to visit on a regular basis! read more

Good food, classy ambiance and good service from very nice people.

Dinner for two tonight at this upscale Chinese restaurant. Very good food, egg roll ok shrimp with lobster sauce and other entree chicken/beef/shrimp very good. Great service very nice decor. Would definitely go again. read more
