There has been a wave of dumpling shops popping up in the metro recently, and now fans of the steamy doughy Chinese dish have a new spot to try in south Tulsa with the opening of Nana’s Dim Sum & Dumplings at 7890 E. 106th Place S., Suite 14.
The menu is loaded with a variety of dim sum, dumplings, buns and more traditional Chinese fare, like fried rice and lo mein options, plus starters like edamame and fried green beans. There are also fun dessert buns, including a panda and corgi, that are extremely popular — and sometimes sell out.
The food is cooked and served as soon as it’s ready, which makes family-style dining highly encouraged.
The dining room is split into two halves, with a glass-enclosed work area between them where customers can watch cooks make dumplings and lo mein noodles. The south side features a bar.
Since opening in mid-August, Nana’s has consistently filled up with wait times that vary from a few minutes to upward of an hour, according to employees.
The restaurant’s exterior features bright red walls with a statue busting out the wall, setting it apart from the light-colored walls of the neighboring shops in The Vineyard on Memorial.

It is the ninth store, and first in Oklahoma, from the Colorado-based company that started with Jack and Kelly Liu, both of whom immigrated to the United States from China as young adults and met here, according to Denver magazine Westword. The first restaurant opened in Denver in 2003 and the company has since added seven additional Colorado locations before expanding to Scarsdale, New York, and now Tulsa.
