This food pop-up in the coffee shop is exceptional. The dumplings are absolutely perfect! The flavor, the spice, and the portions are an absolute value at this price. The coffee menu hasbplenty to choose from and they also have a few summer beers to go perfectly with the food options. Seating is great, both indoors and out. And the staff is some of the best we've net in Tulsa!

These. Chefs. Are. Next. Level. It is a right of passage to go to dumpling night if you want to be a true Tulsan. It's a wonderful experience with perfect food and drinks. I recommend getting both types of dumplings, sodies, and a pot de creme if you want the experience of a lifetime on a random Wednesday night. The staff and chefs are so friendly, and this is something I always look forward to.

- Pork garlic chive dumplings with Szechuan peppercorn oil we're balanced perfectly, with the sharp bite of the ginger and peppercorn oil calmed by the delicate dough and aromatic filling, texture was perfect.
- Kara Age Donburi, bowl was packed with umami, the chicken was crispy outside with great tooth, juicy flavor in the dark meat.
- Pot De Creme, their take on crème brûlée blew my mind. So much so I went back a couple hours later just to get another order of it.
- Staff was warm, friendly, and genuine in their love of the craft.
- The prices were very fair for a spot downtown, especially given the quality and presentation of the dishes.
- The vibes, were immaculate.👌

Et Al. is a collective of chefs working to build an equitable service operational model while serving delicious global cuisine. There are currently six concepts: Bischix, Butter Bar, Compaignon, Dumpling Night, Japanese Breakfast, and Pickles at the Barbecue. Et Al. was a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant 2023 by the James Beard Foundation.Et Al. operates from Foolish Things Coffee in downtown Tulsa’s Cathedral District and located at the start of the historic Route 66. After a long walk along the Tulsa portion of Route 66, I stopped in for Dumpling Night, a weekly Wednesday evening pop-up led by chef Colin Sato featuring Japanese food and beverages.Foolish Things Coffee is a welcoming coffee house featuring clean lines, cool artwork, and a fair amount of natural light. There is a patio area to the side of the shop and front of shop seating. Customer service was exceptional. Despite a continual line, the staff was warm, welcoming, and fielded questions regarding the menu. Food came out at an appropriate pace especially given the volume.I had the Pork Dumplings, Udon, Ginger Sake, and Pot de Cremé. I did not have a bad bite all night! The ginger sake was great. The ginger flavor was very present. The Udon had a broth with great umami flavor. The individual components (shrimp, noodles) were well prepared. My only notes were to add more shrimp.The dumplings had a nice char on the bottom. While the filling was good, it wasn’t as flavorful as I would have liked. I loved the rice vinegar addition to the chili sauce. I am still thinking about the Pot de Cremé. I loved the black salt paired with the maple syrup on top. And the cremé was super luscious.I left Dumpling Night inspired and full. I love the values of Et Al. and wish I was in town long enough to experience the other available concepts. As for the Dumpling Night, I would want to try the Sticky Rice and the cold beverages.

I was there for the dumpling night. Food was good, but being patronized by one of the staff members had left a bad taste in my mouth. All I asked was for a spoon and she told me, “normally, we sip out of the bowl,”in a condescending way. Like girl, I don’t care. I asked for a spoon. I’m not gonna try to sip down a big cube of tofu.?

Absolute best food in Tulsa. If you don't come here you are an IDIOT

Approximately a year ago, I discovered Et Al. in Tulsa's culinary scene, renowned for its collaborative approach to diverse tasting menus and pop-up concepts like Butter Bar and "Sufra." Led by Chef Chloe Butler, known for her national acclaim, Et Al. prioritizes workplace equality and a team-driven culinary vision. Butter Bar, housed within "Foolish Things Coffee" in downtown Tulsa, offers an urban industrial ambiance with exposed ductwork, brick walls, and dim lighting. Service, led by Chef Butler, embodies teamwork and excellence, with each member contributing to menu conceptualization. The tasting menu at Butter Bar unfolds with courses like a delectable cheese plate, roasted affogato, hot honey passion fruit tart, grilled pineapple tarte tatin, Kakigori, Wok Berries, S'mores, and Cloche. Each dish showcases creativity and flavor complexity, though some, like the roasted affogato, could benefit from better flavor balance. Despite minor flaws, the overall experience at Butter Bar is exceptional, with an atmosphere rating of 18/20, service rating of 20/20, and food rating of 52/60, resulting in an impressive overall score of 90/100.
I have now had the Saturday Sufra dinner and visited the Wednesday dumpling night. This is such a cool place and to know it's here in Tulsa is truly incredible. These experiences and the food are truly like no other. Top notch service and food, and I cannot wait to try their Japanese brunch.
