I’m probably the only person over 30 in the northern Kentucky area who hasn’t visited the Oriental Wok until now. I normally don’t frequent Chinese restaurants because I often find their food muddled, much like a lot of Mexican restaurants. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant has been here for decades and expected it to show its age inside, but again I was pleasantly surprised. The inside was fresh, clean, and vibrant, much like the food we received. We ordered crispy spring rolls which were cooked to perfection and the stuffing was seasoned perfectly. We also had a Hong Kong chicken entrée which was delicious and a three fish entree which was also delicious. Unlike so many other Chinese restaurants, you could taste each and every ingredient in both entrées. The service was impeccable. I even got a wonderful fortune cookie to top off our experience. The only complaint I have is the five dollar iced teas, but they did keep them flowing so it’s only a small complaint. We will definitely add the Oriental Wok to our regular schedule and we will be back.

Food was NOT good. Beautiful setting. Very nice place to take a date. Maybe drinks and dessert. Great atmosphere. Service was great. All the servers stopped to grab plates, give napkins, refills, etc. Very friendly. Appetizer (potstickers) was $14 and I wouldn't eat it for free. Really bad. Usually it's a mix of meat and veggies but it was a dense pressed meat. Really gross. The bowl of cracker things set out to snack on beforehand were cold little bites of grease. The Hong Kong chicken was just OK. Rice was a small bowl and too fragrant like a perfume smell or something. Cashew chicken seemed fine. Just plain but chicken was tender.

First time there, went for my birthday and it was an amazing experience. I got the general wong chicken and it was delicious. They brought me a cheesecake with a sparkler in it and sang happy birthday and gave me a little gift. My waitress Angie was so nice! All the staff was super nice! The girl playing the piano and singing was wonderful! Awesome experience! Amazing service!
