the tropical restaurant & bar

potential but currently a miss.... the surroundings were nice but thefoodwas disappointing. my red chicken curry came out looking like a weak stew. it was watery and bland. the lettuce wraps had way to much ginger in them. worst of all they didn't have a proper bartender mixing drinks, just a charming young girl that had no idea what she was doing unfortunately. not wasting another dime here. was hoping for better considering its owned by the same people as lanna,

fantasticfoodwith so many options! a little off the beaten path but nice cozy vibe. some of the best thaifoodin tulsa! order the pad thai, pad see ew or one of the curries!

upscale thaifoodseems weird. in my opinion, the best thai places are affordable and not afraid to set your mouth ablaze with heat.

thefoodwas good. the atmosphere was good. the service was meh. the bill was big. thefoodwas not spicy.

i had a bacon basil bloody mary that was ok. the tom yum with white fish was tasty, but they didn't make it hot like i asked.

apparently this is owned by the same that own lana thai. lana thai suffers from the same issue. they are afraid to make stuff pet pet. so i give them no aroy mak mak.

the tropical finally let me down.... i have been coming to the tropical for months, it has been my favorite newly discovered restaurant in tulsa this year and have not had a bad experience up until today. i have worked my way through over half of the menu and let me tell you there are some amazingly flavorful dishes at this restaurant: the tom kha soup, green gang curry, panang, prikking, kaprao, pad see yu, nam prik-pao fried rice, and penne keow whan (penne in a curry dish?!) were all fantastic and made me want to lick the plate/bowl when finished because of how tasty they were. on top of that, the service has been impeccable up until today. tonight my boyfriend and i ordered the lettuce wraps to start which were great (as usual) and then i ordered the gang pah with pork and he the garlic pepper with beef. his dish came out cold and with pork instead of beef as the protein and my gang pah upon first glance looked far more watery than i was expecting but i picked up my fork and went for a taste. though the dish had a decent amount of heat (i had ordered it hot) it was not that spicy but more importantly it was extremely bland and flavorless, i couldn't believe this was the same restaurant that i've been going to all fall and winter. when seeing that i had barely eaten any of the dish because there was no point, it was basically inedible, the server asked if it was too hot and i told her no, i thought it tasted watered-down and bland. she asked if i wanted it re-made with coconut milk and i said no and then asked if i was ok with it and walked away from the table. when she came back again to get the plates she asked if i wanted to take it home and i said no and yet there was never any offer to take the dish off even though it was essentially untouched. we go so often one of the servers knows us by name, i tell everyone about how great this restaurant is and i don't feel like we were taken care of tonight. i loved this restaurant but i will not be going back for a while...i was very disappointed in thefoodand service this visit.

delicious. my uncle phillip recommended my husband and i to eat at the tropical. thefoodwas delicious, service was great and restaurant was clean. we ordered chic noodles and chicken kaproa. thanks uncle phillip!

                                                                  the tropical restaurant does an amazing job to create the "tropical" feeling. starting with the vegetation they use in their recipes... grown right outside their restaurant!      i took a client there for lunch and it was also my first time.  a bold move i admit, but i was so glad i did.  i ordered the lettuce wraps and scallops.  i wish i could go into more detail, but i waited too long to blog about this amazing freshfoodrestaurant.  it is asian influenced and the flavors will feed your soul beyond.        as i wrote earlier, the tropical restaurant literally grows much of their staple ingredients with regard to the veggies.  from scallions to herbs like thyme, and even eggplant!  they were really nice and took me around their garden.  i just wished i'd had my cannon, but unfortunately i only had my phone :-(              this restaurant spews freshness from the moment you walk up to the actual restaurant.  i highly

excellent. this restaurant is classy, and has excellent spicy food. they will adjust the spice to your taste. we have tried several of the panang dishes, lettuce wraps and pad thai - all excellent. they have a nice selection of unusual cocktails too, such as the 'tamarind margarita'. the service is great, thefoodnicely presented with fresh ingredients. if you like to try something different, definitely try the tropical.

good restaurant good food. we drove an hour and a half as this is the closest vegan friendly eatery to us. we had a party of five and i was the only vegan. the waitress was very attentive, and bent over backwards to assist all of us. thefoodwas really good. i would go again, it was worth the drive.

terrificfoodand service to match. fish was much better (and half the price) of similarly positioned presentations around new york city. excellent duck with delicious tamarind sauce. garden wrap appetizer also recommended. lots of thai-inspired items on the menu.

this place is amazing! thefoodis fresh and delicious. they actually grow some thefoodat the restaraunt that is used in your dish. now that's fresh! i will be a regular at this place.

i have eaten here twice and thefoodis awesome. the only drawback to eating here is the surroundings. as your eating your meal you can hear yelling throughout the entire restaurant as if someone is fighting in the back. this has happened both times i have been here. i asked for an extra peanut sauce and when the waitress went to get it i heard yelling again and when she returned to my table she informed me that i was only able to have one sauce because the chef only makes so much to last the week. i thought this was absurd but i apologized for getting her in trouble. good food, so-so service and loud atmosphere!

great!!!. this was a great place for a casual lunch and would be great for a first date or classy dinner. lots of vegan options as well which is why i went. service andfoodoptions were great!!!

my husband & i came here to eat before a concert. this is now one of our favorite places. thefoodis awesome & the atmosphere was great.

thefoodwas so fresh and absolutely amazing! i loved all the flavors that they put into each dish. i got the lettuce wraps and the pork loin and it was so tasty! i will definitely be going back.

worth a visit. adding my "yes" vote to the mix.

service is above average and with an excellent presentation. take hint, "other tulsa restaurants" - you might serve good food, but you need to come here to see how to plate your work.

also, it was interesting to see one of the chef's walking outside in the garden selecting fresh ingredients specifically for our dinner.

prices are something most people can live with and thefoodplentiful. we took the leftovers home.

the only negative experience was a damnably hot pepper buried in one of the salads. aside from that, the place is great; we'll go back.
