Egg rolls have many sizes, variations and fillings, yet are always a dependable comfort food. June 10 is National Egg Roll Day and here are seven places to snag one (or all of them) to celebrate.
Taste Of Soul

Fusion egg rolls have become all the rage in the past decade, and Taste Of Soul has been at the forefront. Although usually eaten as an appetizer, theirs are closer to the size of a small burrito, making it the perfect entree. Their menu varies with different takes on the classics like the southwest roll, a savory blend of chicken, corn, peppers and black beans.
OKC Eggrolls

OKC Eggroll’s owner Vickie Vo has one mission: to bring authentic Vietnamese egg rolls like her grandmother used to make straight to OKC’s taste buds. Although this is a traveling pop-up, the quality is consistently outstanding. The two specialty egg rolls — pork (cha gio) and a vegan umami option — are crisped to golden perfection. Follow them on Instagram for dates and locations.
Lee’s Sandwiches
405-601-2161 • 3300 N Classen Blvd.

Although Lee’s is not actually Oklahoma-owned, it's hard to argue that the Vietnamese sandwich shop doesn't hold a place in the city's heart. With authentic, budget friendly options across the board, sometimes all you need is a bag of their egg rolls. An egg roll for eating, not for thinking, if you will. Offering either pork, shrimp, or a variety pack with both, Lee’s guarantees a crunchy egg roll every time.
Riviere Modern Banh Mi
405-604-3446 • 905 N Hudson Ave

Riviere is a Vietnamese fusion bar and eatery nestled on the outskirts of Midtown. Taking a modern stance on conventional Vietnamese cuisine, Riviere is constantly pushing the boundaries by adding innovative flavors and dishes. Their egg rolls are the perfect starter for the complex flavors to follow. Packed with carrots, ground pork and stretchy glass noodles, they’re wrapped with care in rice paper and fried to perfection.
Cafe Oasis
405-528-5700 • 1125 NW 25th St.

A hidden gem at the Super Cao Nguyen supermarket, Cafe Oasis is literally an oasis for authentic contemporary Chinese food. This laidback cafe is known for their milky boba teas, casual atmosphere and never ending comfort food options. Their egg rolls are no exception.
Quoc Bao Bakery
405-760-6322 • 2501 N Classen Blvd.
There are plenty of reasons to visit Quoc Bao, whether it be for the banh mi, baked breakfast items, supporting a local business or their infamous egg rolls. After closing for some time, Quoc Bao reopened to great fanfare. Quoc Bao’s egg rolls apart are double-wrapped, creating a thicker, crispier crust.
Blue Moon
405-340-3871 • 1320 S Broadway
Blue Moon is Edmond’s premier spot to get archetypal Chinese food. Along with an impressively authentic variety of entrees, Blue Moon is also famous for their egg rolls. Coming in pairs, the Chinese style egg rolls are the size of the plate. The wheat flour wrappers ensure a crunchy bubble effect, giving it its authentic homemade look. Inside the roll, you’ll find a plethora of cabbage and roast pork.
