Very delicious! I went there with my family and it was surprisingly delicious and cheap! (Around $100, but I live in a family of 8) Service is VERY fast, and not to mention there's games to play while you do wait for your food, or a notebook to draw in ! There's also a hello kitty Lego surprise Lego machine which I personally really like , and also a claw machine where you only have to pay a quarter (24 cents) per a go! Would recommend absolutely, 11/10 overall (the staff is amazing as well)
Overview
Walking into Gung Ho for the first time at 10846 S Memorial Dr Ste 117, Tulsa, OK 74133, United States, I expected a quick bite and maybe a decent stir-fry. What I didn’t expect was how consistently this place delivers on flavor, speed, and comfort, all while feeling like a neighborhood staple rather than just another casual Asian diner. I’ve eaten here during rushed lunch breaks, quiet midweek dinners, and even on a busy Friday night, and the experience has stayed impressively steady each time.
The menu leans heavily into Chinese-American classics, but it does so with confidence. You’ll see familiar favorites like orange chicken, beef with broccoli, and fried rice, yet the kitchen handles them with attention to balance and freshness. One cook once explained to me that sauces are prepared in small batches throughout the day instead of sitting for hours, which lines up with what food safety research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends about maintaining flavor integrity and reducing waste. That detail shows up on the plate. The sauces taste bright, not heavy, and the vegetables keep a bit of crunch instead of going limp.
What really stands out is how customizable the process is. You choose your protein, pair it with noodles or rice, and then pick a sauce. This build-your-own approach isn’t just convenient; it’s smart. Studies from the National Restaurant Association note that customizable menus increase customer satisfaction by more than 20 percent because people feel more in control of what they’re eating. Here, that translates into fewer wrong orders and more repeat visits. I’ve personally switched between chicken and tofu on different visits, and both are cooked with equal care, which isn’t always the case at fast-casual spots.
Service plays a big role in the overall feel. Orders move quickly, but staff members don’t rush you. On one visit, I watched an employee patiently explain spice levels to a family who had never been there before, even offering a small sample to help them decide. That kind of interaction builds trust, and it’s something hospitality experts like Danny Meyer often emphasize when talking about guest-centered dining. You feel welcome, not processed.
Reviews around Tulsa echo that same sentiment. Locals often mention consistency, fair portions, and value for money. From a practical standpoint, portions are generous without being wasteful, aligning with broader industry efforts to reduce food waste while still satisfying customers. Prices stay reasonable, especially considering ingredient costs have risen nationwide according to recent Bureau of Labor Statistics data. There are limitations, of course. If you’re looking for deeply traditional regional Chinese cuisine, this may not be the right fit. The flavors are approachable and designed for broad appeal, which is worth knowing upfront.
The location itself is easy to access, with plenty of parking and a clean, no-frills dining room that focuses more on comfort than trendiness. It’s the kind of place where you can come in solo with headphones or bring a group without feeling out of place. The steady stream of regulars during lunch hours says more than any marketing ever could.
Over time, I’ve learned that what keeps people coming back isn’t just the food, but the reliability. In a city with plenty of dining options, this spot has carved out a reputation by doing simple things well, day after day. That level of consistency is hard to achieve in the restaurant world, and it’s why so many Tulsa diners quietly recommend it when asked where to get a satisfying, unfussy meal.

This is my son’s favorite ramen place. The atmosphere is fun, you can play a game or draw in a notebook while you wait for your food. My son loves the kid’s ramen with chicken. I love the spicy tonkotsu ramen with steak and I add 2 extra eggs. Their ramen eggs are so good. My husband loves getting their chicken teriyaki rice bowl. They also have good boba tea and smoothies. My favorite is the strawberry green tea with honey boba. My son drew this picture in the notebook, how we felt after eating all the delicious food, haha!
After just coming back from Tokyo, it is super exciting to find this place!! I didnt think I could ever find a Tonkotsu that was comparable to the deliciousness of Ramen in Tokyo but here we are in Tulsa, Oklahoma. :-) The karaage was very good. Loved the pork belly! Atmosphere inside really made me feel like I was back in Tokyo with all the anime and claw machines. Super clean. Very friendly staff. Thank you Google search for helping me find this place.
one of my favorite places! their ramen is amazing and was what drew me in originally (from a friend’s recommendation) but now when i’m wanting a tea and a fun place to hang out, this is where i go. their poke bowls are so good, their ramen is fantastic (my husband and i combined have tried and loved all of them!), and their entrees are delicious. we’ve even loved all of the appetizers that we’ve tried here! the tea is obviously good, but so are their smoothies! good veg options as well :,) everyone we’ve brought here has loved it! it’s also great because they have a library of games you can play or drawing pads on tables- so jenga and guess who and hang man are always being played while you wait on your food! we love this place!
The food was fantastic! I loved the atmosphere and everything they had going on. It really was just such a vibe overall. I hope they get some of the games they had in there fixed/going again by the next time I come because they looked so cool. They did have several crane games with figures and mini figures as prizes. I loved the fact that they had sketch books at the tables, it was fun to doodle and see what others had drawn
Best Ramen in Tulsa. (sorry Jinya, you've been dethroned ). Pork Tonkatsu ramen was AMAZING, and the spicy sauce was very flavorful & complex. The Boba Float (a totally new concept to me and now I'm obsessed) was SO GOOD, and the texture on the tapioca pearls was super excellent as well. Really amazing Anime-forward atmosphere with Japanese arcades, claw machines, and a sketch pad with colored pencils at every table!! They also have poke, sushi burritos, and bibimbap so something for everybody!!
This place is so fun! The kimchi fries were even better than we expected and pretty big! The vegetable spring rolls were super crispy and the filling was so flavorful and we really liked the peach dip it came with. I love the idea of strawberry cream cheese wontons and they were great- extra crispy with a sweet, tangy, creamy filling. The staff was so friendly and each table had a little sketchbook for drawing. We just split some appetizers and smoothies this time but we'll be back again to try entrees for sure. We came back a couple times. Admittedly, I am not the target audience. I don't know anything about anime but I know I do love the food here. The Cheetos crusted sushi burrito is goofy and delicious but the Cheetos overpower everything else so I probably wouldn't get it again- but I'm happy i got to try it. The kimchi and fried chicken ramen was stupid-good. The chicken was perfect and crispy and the fried garlic was awesome and all the flavors worked well together. I'd like to say I'd get this ramen again but everything has been great so far and they have so much more stuff I want to try I'm not sure when I'll get back to it!
Amazing ramen and service. I got the Vegetarian Ramen extra spicy and the broth was so delicious. The spice level was perfect, a slight burn but still flavorful. A great little place in South Tulsa that I highly recommend.
