This used to be our absolutely favorite oriental restaurant in Topeka but since we have been gone they have obviously changed hands. The visual changes are nice....freshly painted, new tables and chairs, they have even added sushi but the quality of the food had declined sharply. The egg drop soup was probably the best thing we had to eat. ALL of their dishes are made with chicken, no beef on the menu anywhere. The quality is just not what we have come to expect from China Pavillion. Sadly this will be our last visit to what used to be our favorite place to eat.

I appreciate having an Asian restaurant on the east side of Topeka and our family occasionally dines at Coco Asian! The food, though not exceptional, is dependable and the prices are reasonable. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. On our last visit the vegetables in our meals were undercooked and the waitress was kind enough to box up a to-go order! Lovely staff!

We stopped by here for dinner. Great menu with lots of options. Was difficult to decide where to start on our first visit. We opted for two of our "tried and true" Chinese foods - General Tsao's and lo mein. Both were very good. Prices are reasonable. We would like to come back soon for sushi.Service was good and attentive.

Wok & Grill is a small restaurant located in a strip mall at 29th and Topeka Blvd. I had heard many complimentary reports for Wok & Grill and our party of four were not disappointed! We decided to choose a wide variety of dishes and share them among ourselves. Our selections included: Orange Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork, Teriyaki Steak & Shrimp and Hibachi Chicken. The hibachi and teriyaki selections afford the customer to have a delicious meal without the breading on the meat. The accompanying vegetables were also very good. We also ordered a small bowl of Hot & Sour Soup. It was quite a large bowl and it was the best Hot & Sour soup I have ever had - DELICIOUS! The staff were all friendly and attentive and we received our meal orders quickly. We only experienced a few small negatives - the breading on the Sweet & Sour Pork was really too crispy, The sauce was on the side and it was difficult to immerse the breaded pork because the dish was very shallow. There is also a lot of sodium in these dishes. Although we ate at Wok & Grill on this visit, I think that this is a great restaurant for take-out. All dishes are very reasonably priced. We will definitely return!

We stopped by Oriental Express for a late lunch recently. We were pleased that the lunch menu is offered until 3:00 pm. The lunch menu is very reasonably priced and quite extensive, with meal combos that include: Sushi, traditional Chinese, Korean and Thai entree's. The combos consist of your choice of soup, fried or white rice, Egg Roll or Crab Rangoon & entree. We were waited on promptly with friendly and attentive service. Our soups were delivered immediately with the main course soon after. We had a great dining experience at Oriental Express and look forward to returning in the future!! we also noticed a drive-up window when we were leaving - very handy for picking up food on the go!

We love Saigon and have been many, many times. The Vietnamese menu is fantastic and I especially love the fresh spring rolls and seafood pho. I've never had a bad meal there after years! In fact I wish I was there right now!My friend who is Vietnamese loves the place and when she's in town we always go!
