The Chinese vocabulary relating to
foods is especially rich. In fact, a polite traditional greeting
is not “How are you?” but “Have you eaten?”
And so, we at Te Kei’s Chinese/Asian Kitchen ask you:
“Have you eaten?Really eaten? If you have traveled extensively
to, say, San Francisco or New York, perhaps you have been
lucky enough to experience the best new Chinese-Asian cooking.
But upon returning to Tulsa, when you found yourself craving
more, you had nowhere to turn.
Today, that has all changed. Now you can explore the most
delicious flavors of Asia, adapted from traditional recipes
to please the American palate, right here in Tulsa. We have
traveled the world in our search to create a one-of-a-kind
Asian dining experience. Our menu is based on the very freshest,
most flavorful ingredients, transformed into carefully balanced,
beautifully presented dishes.
The same level of attention has gone into every detail of
the restaurant, from the seating arrangements designed to
maximize intimacy, to the intriguing artifacts gathered from
the Far East to delight the eye, to servers who are highly
trained to know the dishes and guide you through your meal.
What our special guests are saying about Te Kei’s.
YOU ARE A TE KEI AT TE KEI’S. Our name is derived from the Chinese for “special
guest.” No guest is more special than you, and you will
experience that with each taste, with each sip, with each
glance in any direction, with each and every return visit
you make to Te Kei’s. Here, you will discover why one
of the best-known Chinese proverbs is “For the people,
food is heaven.”
- Todd Kramer (“T.K.”), Owner,
Te Kei’s Chinese/Asian Kitchen
From the beginning, Te Kei’s Chinese Asian Kitchen made
an unprecedented commitment to support the Tulsa community.
Within weeks of opening, owner Todd Kramer could be spotted
handing out water to participants in the Tulsa Run and overseeing
installation of a 6-foot-tall penguin in front of the restaurant
in support of the Tulsa Zoo.
While Te Kei’s may look like it belongs in New York
City or San Francisco, there is no mistaking the Tulsa connection.
You will see it in the friendly faces of the staff and the
management, you will feel it in the warmth of the surroundings,
and you will taste it in the freshness of the food.

Mimi Chow Chinese Penguin
by Matt Moffett
Tulsa businesses bought more than sixty hand painted painted
penguins and put them on display to raise money for a new
penguin exhibit at the Tulsa Zoo.
We'd like to introduce you to Mimi Chow Chinese Penguin,
created by local artist Matt Moffett. Te Kei's is proud to
provide a happy home for Ms. Chow and also help out the Tulsa
Zoo.
In November of 2003, four of the 300-pound, six-foot tall
birds were stolen from area businesses. Unfortunately, Mimi
Chow was missing. However, with the help of police, Mimi was
safely recovered and returned to her perch outside Te Kei's.
