We've Gotten Some Great Reviews
The great folks over at Tasty Tulsa wrote a fantastic review of a recent meal shared at The Tropical! Enjoy:
The Tropical was on the Tasty Tulsa to-do list because of one simple fact – the owners of Lanna Thai are responsible for creating it. I can speak for myself, and my fellow Tasty Tulsa bloggers, in saying that Lanna Thai is one of our favorite restaurants in town with its comfortable ambiance and delicious cuisine. Not only owned by the purveyors of Lanna Thai, The Tropical also has the unique allure of being “Asian seafood fusion”.

With the grilled seafood entrees, diners receive a choice of sauce, one side and rice. My wife selected scallops ($17) with lemon butter sauce, basil fries and jasmine rice.
Big scallops can be dicey, with a narrow window between being overcooked or undercooked, but the five on this plate were perfect, cooked through but not rubbery. The sauce was extra-heavy on the lemon, and the rice was moist with a floral scent. Fresh basil cooked with standard fries proved to be a tasty combination.
We took the meat route with our other entree, a New York strip steak ($18) that came with grilled asparagus, fried corn cakes, russet potatoes and Thai steak sauce.
The 8-ounce steak was cut thin and had a couple of gristle spots but otherwise was tender and flavorful. The Thai sauce had a pleasant, sweet taste.
