Chow's Chinese - Oklahoma City

Simply Delicious. This is a home spun but extremely popular family style Chinese restaurant. Those in the know will tell you the the looks on the outside do not do justice to the food that’s going to be coming at you.The menu is the real deal Chinese fare that I have to assume is traditional as many Chinese families are dining alongside us each time we go. Here’s the best way to go:Get a group of five to ten people, each order one item and then use the center spinner table to share with each person.The service is beyond compare. Kind gentle but very busy the food comes at you in large chucks as it’s prepared not in one large grouping so nothing you eat is going to be cold.Eat. Here. Soon!

Some of you might remember my review of Dot Wo several months back— place is about as exciting as a dry hand job.  My buddies Dave and Marty think it's the cat's meow and go all the time.  They think they know good Chinese...Please.There's only one spot for Chinese food in this town, and it's called Chow's.  With a menu chock-full of delicious entrees, and a staff that turns a blind eye to outside beverages, me and the wife find ourselves here at least once a week.From the outside, place might not seem like much.  This may detract the stuck-up crowd, but any food critic with half a wit knows a shabby building means good food.  The second clue is the fact that most folks working at Chow's aren't speaking English.  That means authentic recipes and an authentic experience.  Third thing you'll notice at Chow's is the crowd— nearly all Chinese families.  These folks know what they want, and they flock to Chow's to get it.So I mentioned the menu— it's got about every Chinese dish you can think of, and most likely a whole lot of dishes you never thought of before.  Me and the wife usually stick with the following:Beef flat noodles, dry stylePecking pork spare ribOrange beefSesame chickenSalt and pepper tofuSteamed Chinese broccoli (yes, I actually eat it)Egg rollsPot stickersHot and sour soupThe seafood menu is also pretty extensive, and we've had several of the shrimp dishes.  If you'd like, they can yank a live lobster out of their tank and cook it up for about bucks a pound.When you wrap up with eating and drinking, they bring you a plate of fresh orange slices and cookies.  Really can't beat that.Next time you are heading to town for Chinese food, PLEASE give Chow's a try (also great for delivery).  No sense in ever spending money your money anywhere else— this is as good as it gets around here, or anywhere really.Great work, Chow's!NOTE: They are closed on Tuesdays.

We were looking for the best Chinese food in the subway area. I would put this to the top of our lists! it seemed to be filled with masters, some celebrate special occasions, noticed by their tons of wine from home. interesting concept, I like it! service was attentive and accommodating. the exterior and interior are not much to see, but eating was spectacular. we had the American Chinese experience. we ordered chicken meat, egg rolls, soup soup, oranges and bark noodles. it was all hot and fresh. the dripping soup had made out scratchy broth. Eierrolles were fresh and tasty. I am happy to go back and try some of the authentic...read more
