Oriental Spoon — Restaurant in Edwardsville

This place is FANTASTIC! Stopped by for the first time today and we were taken great care of by our server Megan. She was quick to answer any questions, offered great suggestions, and just had a very great attitude. The atmosphere was nice, offering inside & outside seating. The best part though, THE FOOD! 🤭

We couldn’t decide what to try so we started with a delish strawberry soju. Perfect.

For appetizers we ordered the spicy crab Rangoons, tofu + kimchi, & tteok fries. The spicy crab Rangoons were the BEST Rangoons I have ever had, and I have had an embarrassing amount - ( I truly debated getting more of those instead of an entree LOL). The tofu fries + kimchi offered such a flavorful combination that we had to stop ourselves from eating it all so we could enjoy some at home, too. Lastly, the tteok fries had such a delicious spicy strawberry sauce and unexpectedly blew me away. That sauce would be so good on anything I think!

Next up, even though we could’ve totally called it a day at the apps, we ordered entrees because of how great everything had been so far. My partner got the spicy ramyun with added chicken and thought it had a really good flavor. Served steaming hot, it was great. For myself I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi and could not say enough good things about it- the meat was perfectly tender, the rice warm and delicious, and the sauce….. incredible. We packed so much of it up to take with us and I cannot wait to dig in again.

Worth noting - the prices are wonderful. Very fairly priced, an overall 10/10 restaurant. Could easily...

Outstanding Experience – Delicious Food & Excellent Service!

Oriental Spoon is hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and the staff greeted us with genuine warmth. The service was impressively fast and attentive—everything ran smoothly, and we felt well taken care of the entire time.

Now onto the food—it was absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was rich with flavor and clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. You can truly taste the authenticity and passion behind the cooking. The textures, seasoning, and overall presentation were spot on, and everything came out hot, fresh, and perfectly timed.

I’ve been dining at this establishment for the past one to two years, and what continues to impress me is the remarkable consistency, both in the depth of flavor and in the quality of service. The kitchen has a dependable mastery of bold, well-balanced flavors that never fail to deliver.

As for the menu, the standout appetizer in my opinion is the Spicy Crab Rangoon. It offers a perfect harmony of crispy texture and creamy interior, with a subtle heat that elevates rather than overwhelms. For the main course, the Beef Bulgogi Bap is a personal favorite tender, marinated beef next to white rice with nuanced seasoning that creates a comforting yet dynamic flavor profile.

The ambiance itself mirrors the culinary experience: a modern, loft-inspired setting that strikes a balance between casual and refined, accented with tasteful Asian (Oriental) design elements. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal in an environment that feels both vibrant and...
