For nearly five decades, Oriental Wok has been a proud symbol of family, flavor, and the American dream. The Wong family’s journey began when Mike and Helen Wong moved from Hong Kong to Cincinnati in 1972 with hope, determination, and a vision to share the warmth of Chinese hospitality. In 1977, they opened the doors to Oriental Wok — a restaurant built on hard work, passion, and a deep love for bringing people together through food.
What started as a small family dream quickly became a community landmark. Generations of guests have celebrated life’s milestones around their tables, enjoying authentic Chinese dishes made with care and tradition. Today, the Wong family continues that legacy — blending time-honored recipes with modern touches while staying true to the values that began it all: family, integrity, and genuine hospitality.
At Oriental Wok, every meal is more than food on a plate — it’s a story of resilience, connection, and the joy of sharing something meaningful.
