Reviews
From the moment we walked in and mentioned it was our first time, we were treated like family. The owner’s daughter warmly welcomed us, immediately making us feel at home.
What makes Oriental Wok extraordinary isn’t just the food — it’s the people. The regular patrons were passionate, kind, and genuinely excited to help us order. A heartfelt thank you to Tom & Sue (have an amazing cruise!) and John — and my apologies for forgetting your name, but you’re the talented interior decorator! It wasn’t just one person singing this place’s praises — multiple regulars confirmed that what we were experiencing is the norm here.
And then there’s the food.
We started with the Ma Ma Dumplings, which were absolutely incredible — delicate, flavorful, and the perfect introduction to the meal. The cumin beef was bold, aromatic, and beautifully balanced with warmth and spice. The Chengdu Spicy Grouper was a standout — vibrant, perfectly cooked, and packed with complex heat and flavor. Every dish was as beautiful and memorable as the personalities that fill the restaurant.
If you get the chance, sit at the bar. Michael and John will take exceptional care of you. John crafts what may be the best margarita in Cincinnati, and Michael created a dessert liqueur just for us as first-timers — a thoughtful, personalized touch that made the evening even more special.
To top it all off, Susan, the owner, brought over her father — the man who started it all in 1972 — who happened to be visiting that night. He took the time to speak with us, and that simple gesture meant so much. You can truly feel the history, pride, and heart behind this restaurant.
Everything was delicious. Everything was warm. Everything felt genuine.
The next time I’m in Cincinnati, Oriental Wok will be at the very top of my list.
Wishing you continued success and a very Happy Chinese New Year!
Even the pickup experience caught me off guard in the best way. One of the staff members held the door open for me and mentioned that next time, I could just pull my car around and they’d bring the order out. That small act of kindness stuck with me. I think I even caught a glimpse of the owner up front, greeting guests with a genuine smile. She still took a moment to say thank you, even to someone just grabbing takeout.
When you’re traveling alone, it’s easy to feel like you’re just passing through. But sometimes, it’s a good meal and a few kind people that remind you there’s warmth to be found anywhere. Thank you, Oriental Wok — you turned an ordinary night into something memorable.
The mixed beverages we’ve had are generously poured and strong, and they have a good wine selection.
The atmosphere is appropriate for an upscale night out, but it also has a cozy feel that works for a casual vibe if we don’t feel like dressing up.
Finally, I have to say that I’ve always loved that Oriental Wok’s owners still stand at the door to greet guests and will circulate through the dining rooms to check on you throughout the meal. I’ve met several of their children and grandchildren waiting our tables as well — just all around a super cool family.
I recommend Oriental Wok to all my friends and family and always look forward to going back!
It is an enormous, fun restaurant with good Chinese American food, decorated in the classic Chinese-American style – lots of red and gold, paper lanterns on the ceiling, jade sculptures, etc. It makes for a fun night out, and the food was genuinely very good – we had crab Rangoon, beef lo mein, the eggplant, and the Chengdu spicy grouper (which I appreciated was properly spicy.)
Would totally go here again whenever we’re next in town.
