Being a vegan in Tulsa is challenging when lunch time rolls around. The Tropical makes it easy and delicious! 3-5 times a week I call in my order or sit down for lunch. The entire staff knows my name and when I order modified dishes, even the kitchen staff knows how I like my food prepared! I love The Tropical! read more

My friends and I went to The Tropical for our monthly GNO! We ordered the corn cakes and fried dumplings for appetizers. We couldn't decide which one was better. They were both excellent and very nicely presented. My friend and I shared the Panang with chicken and the Pad Thai with tofu. We ordered them both with medium heat but the Panang was considerably more spicy. But they were both delicious plates. They also had fun summer drinks and I enjoyed a Tamarind margarita! Yum! Will definitely be visiting again. read more

I was really glad to find a good Thai restaurant that was open late here in Tulsa. I've ordered the panang curry, pad thai, lettuce wraps, and tom kha. The flavors are delicious and the servings are very generous to share between a few people. The coconut ice cream dessert is absolutely delicious and a great ending to the meal. The service is good and pretty quick! I definitely recommend the Pad Thai. read more

Kind of an out of the way location, but it is totally worth it. Give them a shot. Interesting tropical fusion of flavors (and this comes from the guy who hates the word fusion). It was really unique and tasty! Service was great, prices were good, seafood was FRESH! read more

Order the crispy trout!!! Don't be a square... just do it! Come thank me after. This is one of the best dishes in Tulsa. I'd lick dog poop for this dish. I'd have dinner with Mary Faillin for this dish. This dish almost made me religious... almost! read more

A gem in Tulsa! All the food we had was great (garlic edamame, tum kha tahu soup, prikking, green curry, red curry)! Our server, Zach was really nice! If you get the Tum kha tahu soup and you've never had it before, make sure to ask which pieces are garnish. You don't want to take a bite of lemongrass or ginger! Enjoy! read more

The Tropical - In the main dining room. Really nice Thai sculptures. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Excellent Asian infusion cuisine. Low expectations, but surprising results! Don't let the location or exterior fool you. This is a Tulsa gem, a local spot that rivals NYC Asian infusion restaurants. read more

The food is great, the environment is clean, presentable and friendly. I have liked everything I've tried there and I have gone many times for lunch or dinner. Try the chicken satay with the peanut sauce. It's very good. read more

This place has the best Pad Thai in all of Tulsa. I'm not kidding, hands down, the best freaking pad-thai in all of Tulsa. I don't care if you get chicken, shrimp, or beef, it's the best dang Pad Thai in Tulsa. Allow me to reiterate, this place has the best Pad Thai in Tulsa. read more

Decent food and alot of vegan options. Our server was very nice and relatively helpful. Her English skills didn't seem sufficient for her to either understand the question "can you make Thai iced tea with coconut milk instead of dairy?" or to explain that the tea was pre-mixed. The eggplant was delicious. The garlic pepper tofu was a bit dry overall but had good flavor. I'm not sure but I think I tasted fish sauce in the Phanaeng Curry and the Tom Kha soup that was supposed to be Vegetarian. That said, both were pretty good. Not the best Thai food I've had but definitely the best so far in the area. read more

This place was very good! Nice, quiet atmosphere with polite staff. Food was excellent! Zero complaints with this restaurant.

Being vegan in Tulsa is hard, but the Tropical makes it soooo easy! Order almost anything on the menu and ask them to "make it vegan!" Be sure if you don't like spice to ask for it mild, or you can ramp it up and get extra spice! The Pad Se Yu made vegan is amazing, I usually get the fried rice made vegan and it settles my cravings. read more

This is our go-to for Pad Thai in Tulsa. Order it with varying levels of spice to fit your mood! We usually get takeout, but have eaten here once. The staff and service are always excellent and the place itself (though deceiving from the outside), is so nice and comfortable! read more

We used to LOVE this place. I used to plane huge birthday parties here for my family! This time my family flew in from California so we of course took them to The Tropical! I ordered the Nam prik fried rice with shrimp. When my plate arrived the whole table could smell the rotten shrimp. It was so bad that we asked for it to be taken away immediately before I got sick. When the wait and back out to ask what was wrong we all told her about the smell. She took it away and asked what I wanted instead. I told her I would like the crab fried rice as a replacement... SHE LAUGHED IN MY FACE! She said the crab was going to smell like that too and I wouldn't like it. I know what seafood is supposed to smell like! I ran a seafood department for years! I've never had an experience like this before at a restaurant. I never complain about subpar food and I'm always super polite to service industry workers... this was terrible. It was also super embarrassing for my out of town family to watch me get laughed at when I asked for something else. We won't be back and I'll be telling all of our friends about this experience! read more

Went there for our anniversary dinner and it was delightful! The service was excellent and (according to my wife) the lettuce wraps are amazing! I would definitely recommend The Tropical to anyone! read more

best vegan red curry i have tried in tulsa. Only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because one day I ordered take out, and I got to restaurant and sever told me she forgot to place my order. My meal was made promptly but still not 5 star service. read more

We FINALLY remembered to try this place! Living in Tulsa, there is a lot of competition with restaurants, and it's hard to decide. The restaurant is clean and well decorated. We were seated immediately and then after that, the service was somewhat slow. We were there at an off time, so I don't know if that helped or hurt the service. The food was SO GOOD! We shared the Tom Kha appetizer with medium spice. Next time, I would add rice to it, but that's just my preference when eating it. I really like that they offer a lunch menu every day, rather than just Monday-Friday! That helped keep our dining cost down a little, because the prices are slightly higher than expected. I ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken with medium spice, and it was perfect! My husband ordered a dish with hot spice, and he was sweating quite a bit, but loved it! As far as the drink prices, I felt like they were entirely too high. Average cost for a cocktail was $10-$12. They even visibly marked out $9 and put $12 on one drink. If drinks came down a few bucks, I would give this 5 stars. We will definitely be back! read more

Wow! How long has this gem been hiding behind the Acura Dealership? In the old Flying Roll is a super great Thai Restaurant? You better believe it and you should make the trip. They offer plenty of options even for a pain in the butt Vegan like me. I have hit up this spot several times for lunch and made it in and out very quickly and have yet to leave unhappy. A particular favorite of mine is the green curry. The restaurant is very big, so often the parking lot seem a lot busier than the inside will be. Take a chance and be happy. read more

Good food that is reasonably priced. Every time I've been there it's been relatively busy but also quiet and the service is great. If you're looking for atmosphere with an overall enjoyable experience look no further ! read more

You can tell they use fresh, high quality ingredients. All of their dishes are light and fresh. I love their pad thai and soup best. That's basically all I get. read more

Love the Mee Lad Na crispy rice vermicelli soaked in savory sauce. You can choose any protein. We chose salmon. I also had Penang curry but could have used another bowl of rice, the pork portions I asked for were so big. read more

I always come here when visiting Tulsa, because they have such great vegan options. The lettuce wrap appetizer is SO good, and most of the entrees offer a choice of protein. The food is fresh and delicious, and it's a good place to stop in solo or bring friends. Staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Absolutely wonderful! Home grown veggies. Excellent service. Great bar selection. Very clean. Recommend the fried banana dessert. Hidden gem. :-) read more

This little gem is one of my favorite places to go with my wife. The sizes of the dishes are huge so we can split one entree with an appetizer for our meal. It makes the place very, very affordable, especially with the great quality of the food. This is our go-to place if we don't want to cook dinner. I love coming here! read more

As it was Memorial Day weekend, wife and I were going to hit Memorial Cemetery and I found this place nearby so I thought I'd give it a try. I WAS BLOWN AWAY. Finally a Thai place I can call my own. Wife had the lettuce wraps (fantastic) which was a nice sized serving, easily sufficient for a meal. I had Chicken Kaprao. When it first came out I was a little underwhelmed by the kaprao sauce, but boy did it pack flavor. I inhaled every grain of rice. I was surprised to discover the folks who own Lana Thai also own Tropical. Frankly, LT has gone so far downhill we never go there any longer. The quality has sunk as the prices have soared. I loved The Tropical and can't wait to come again. Non-food related: Service a lot like Lana Thai--non-existent. And, it was blazing hot inside the restaurant. Food: ***** Atmosphere: ** (hot) Service: ** read more

We just got back from Thailand, and the food at The Tropical is authentic- and spicy. We had the papaya salad (which comes with chicken wings and would make a great meal in itself), the green curry, and the pad thai. The spice levels are serious, so stick with a one or two if you want mild medium. The inside is pretty nice and spacious, and is a good place for a business lunch or maybe a date. There is some outside seating as well, although there's not much to look at in that location. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. The lunch specials are well priced too! read more

The Tropical is one of Tulsa's hidden gems. They offer a wide variety of Thai cuisine and are always willing to work with my gluten sensitivity. If you haven't tried this restaurant I highly recommend you do. You won't be disappointed. read more

Hi. Welcome to some of the best Thai food you'll ever have. Cute restaurant behind a car dealership. Looks like a house with a garden in the front. Staff is extremely friendly and warm. Excellent cocktail and beer options. We ordered the papaya salad which came with crispy chicken wings! So good. Also got panang curry with tofu, beef Kaprao (chili garlic), shrimp pad thai and crab fried rice. Pad Thai and rice were out of this world! Large shrimp and GIANT chunks of crab. We asked for medium spice level which was perfect- had a definite kick but not too crazy. Only wish they had those green chilies to add and that the curry dishes were in a bowl to make it easy to get to the sauce. Can't forget the mango sticky rice which is seasonal. My most favorite dessert!!! It's the best here. No clue why the rice was purple, but twas' on point. Homemade coconut and mango ice cream were fantastic as well. Overall fresh, bright, light, yet delicious. Can't wait to go back! read more

The Tropical - Homemade coconut and mango ice cream. Plus whipped cream and jellies. YUM!!!! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

See all

I am giving it a 3 only because they have so many items that are stir fried and I wanted plum wine. However, the food is good, the service is good. It can hold large groups of people. read more

NO NO NO NO NO NO. I love Asian food, but this was nauseating. The food is disgusting. I ordered a fried rice, chicken and vegetable dish with julienne apples and cilantro. The egg strips smelled spoiled and the chicken WAS spoiled. It had an absolutely disgusting smell and taste. I felt like Gordon Ramsey when I sent the food back. I couldn't even let it sit in front of me while my friends ate. I have never been to this restaurant and I WILL NEVER GO AGAIN. ZERO STARS. read more

This is hands down our favorite Thai food in Tulsa! We come here weekly and have eaten just about everything on the lunch menu and much of the dinner menu. The Pad Thai is delicious. My husband loves both red curries, which he eats "Thai Hot." We both love the yellow curry fried rice. The lettuce wraps are so good I've ordered them as my entree. The drinks are delicious, particularly the Green Dragon. We've never had a bad meal here. The service is always outstanding. The staff are professional and welcoming. There is never a long wait for your food. The food is fresh, never greasy, and I've been told is seasoned with fresh herbs from an on-site garden. Add in reasonable prices, and there's nothing not to love about this place! We seriously have no complaints. If you like Thai food, you definitely want to get here as soon as you can - you'll be hooked! read more

Heard several good things about the restaurant while visiting Tulsa and decided to come and check it out for myself. This gem of an establishment lived up to all the hype. The moment we walked in the door we were greeted by a friendly host who took us to our seats. Our orders were promptly taken and the suggestion of Tom Kha soup was fantastic, I love spicy food and mushrooms so this choice was a no brainer for me. The waitress constantly filled my water which was greatly appreciated since I drink more than the average person and when you crank up the spice level I'm like a camel ;) I also had the Beef Pad Thai and it was an extremely appetizing main event which enough leftover to take home for a late night snack. I would highly recommend you check out this place if you are ever in Tulsa and I'll definitely be back here again to try out more of their amazing dishes. read more

Food - We started with the 3 mushroom soup - very flavorless. Pass this dish by. Next corn cakes, pretty tasty on their own nothing to write home about until you put the sauce it comes with on, it's sweet and savory and packs major flavor. Next the Prikking tofu with red curry,sweet, salty and spicy. A mouth watering blend of all. Really delicious! Last, the sticky rice with bananas and vanilla ice cream. It was also good for me ( I love bananas) but nothing to write home about. All the dishes had a simplistic but elegant presentation. Waiter - very knowledgable recommended our entree and attentive. He gets 5 stars. Ambiance - a big 10! When we walked in the feeling was clean and not in an antiseptic way. There's a warmth, chi about this place from the lighting to the decor. The bar is welcoming. I will definitely be back. read more

Great, fresh seafood choices. Fast service, Lucas was helpful and friendly. I've been here three times and have loved everything I ordered.

Really enjoyed this Thai / Asian fusion restaurant. We were visiting Tulsa for a wedding and didn't expect to find such fresh, creative and tasty Asian food. Elegant interior, friendly service and everything we had was delicious. The green curry chicken had just the right amount of spice balanced with a little sweet. Lunch specials are a good value. read more

I frequently come here and I absolutely love this place!! When people ask me what my favorite meal is I always say The Tropical's chicken pad Thai. It's incredible!!! read more

I loved the gorgeous dark wood interior. I think itnis brazilian wood, very classy. I ate some chicken patay and padseeyu, perfect! Lee was a fun bartender, made us 8 shots for the whole group. Cant wait to come back. read more

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. The Pananag was fabulous. I was pleasantly surprised.

Excellent food and service. I enjoyed my dinner. I will go again very soon. Thank you.
