A reader from Nowata recently told me he used to make special trips to Tulsa "just to eat at the old Loi's Golden Dragon at 41st (Street) and Memorial (Drive)."
"We would make the long drive for what we considered the finest Chinese cuisine in the country," the reader said. "There was no doubt that Loi's egg rolls were absolutely the finest egg rolls we have ever eaten.
"They were the real old-school egg rolls that were almost a meal in themselves, stuffed full of shrimp and wonderful Oriental vegetables. They were the highlight of the meal."
The reader said he has been searching for comparable egg rolls for the last decade.
"There was a restaurant in Bartlesville that served the identical, wonderful egg rolls, but The Fortune went out of business many years ago also," he said. "Now it seems like the restaurants all serve cheap imitations of the real egg rolls. What has happened? Is there any place one can go to the REAL egg rolls."
That's a good question. I don't recall exactly what the Loi's egg rolls were like. I do like the egg rolls at Be Le Vegetarian, but it is going out of business June 30.
Any suggestions out there?
