About the restaurant

In November 1977, Helen And I opened Oriental Wok pursuing our American Dream. We poured our hearts into this business, meeting great customers along the way. Now, I am proud to call many of you my friends. Your support and friendship for nearly 50 years have meant so much to me and my family.

With so many restaurant choices, I am honored each time you visit Oriental Wok. Thank you for celebrating all the big and small occasions with us throughout the years. My family and I look forward to sharing more great food and laughter with you for years to come.

Truly,
Mike and Helen Wong

About the restaurant

NOW OPEN FOR DINNER – you know what we can do at brunch, now discover what we do at dinner. Taste of Belgium is a modern Belgian brasserie between the Reds and Bengals stadiums, next to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and close to the riverfront.

Enjoy from-scratch Belgian and American comfort food, our famous waffle & chicken, frites, mussels and shareable snacks, plus a big patio with views of the Roebling Bridge, up to 54 draft beers (many exclusive), a deep Belgian bottle list and a serious craft cocktail program.

We once only served a small Saturday brunch, but after being voted Best Sunday Brunch in town we opened Sundays and became a local favorite. Since then we’ve been featured twice on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” and founder Jean-François Flechet was knighted by the Knighthood of the Brewer’s Paddle in Belgium. Join us before or after a game, for brunch, happy hour or dinner and experience Belgian hospitality on the riverfront.
