“2 people for dinner around 6:15pm. Sat quickly. Bathrooms clean. ordered Crunchy NE roll, California roll, Shumai, and Crab Rangoon. everything came out in less than 5 min...still not sure if we just got super fresh food fast or someone else's wrong order they managed to resell. Both rolls were enjoyable. Shumai was greasy. Obviously frozen, fried ahead of time bc it came out too quick to be fresh and wasn't hot enough. Crab Rangoons were good. Went for round 2 of food and asked what cut of meat they used for Steak teriyaki. I was told Angus...yeah, that's the type of cow but what cut of meat? "Don't know. Maybe sirloin." This is coming from the lady who introduced herself as the shift manager. Went with chicken teriyaki and "Sicilian Pizza Rolls". I mean...any Japanese Cuisine / Sushi restaurant with Scicilian Pizza Rolls must have these on the menu for a good reason, right? Someone must've been high as a kite because they took pizza bagel bites dipped in tempura and fried them. Intriguing, but not a smart menu item here. They use all the same steamed rice for sushi as they did for our side. overcooked and unseasoned. Teriyaki chicken came as cut up chicken breast with teriyaki sauce on the side with steamed rice and a big pile of sauteed vegetables. Both our server and shift manager were very friendly but uneducated about the food they're serving. I had to repeat everything we ordered for the waiter at least once if not twice slowly. No prices on the main menu for individual plates so not sure how much you're going to pay unless you ask them to show you their handheld order-taker.”

“I can’t even begin to explain how happy I was with our recent visit to Momo. Our waitress, Gracie, was so over the top phenomenal. So kind, soft, and informative. Me and my boyfriend had our first date at Momo back in ‘21 and we are moving to Houston on Wednesday. So it only felt right to finish up our NE chapter where it began. The food was INCREDIBLE. We even sent compliments to the chef. My boyfriend is a huge foodie with a background in culinary and rates his pork ribeye one of the best meals he’s EVER had. I will always be so happy and appreciative of our trips to Momo. Thank you for helping close our chapter here. Gracie is AMAZING! 10/10 customer service and humanity.”

We love cooking but when we want to go out to eat, this is pretty much the only place we go. Because it’s consistently outstanding.

“BEST IN LINCOLN. Routine breakfast customer and never disappointed. Relaxing atmosphere with nostalgic decor and no blaring music or televisions nobody watches. Eaten all the breakfast places in Lincoln over the years, this is one of the best and the prices are very reasonable. Always busy so that should tell you something.”

Vincenzo's Ristorante 808 P St, Lincoln Italian • $$

“The food was fabulous: calamari was crisp with inside tender complimented well with side of red sauce; house salads with blue cheese dressing and rolls were generous sized and very satisfying; we shared two delicious entrees- the Big Vinny combo allowed us to taste the chicken Parm, linguini Alfredo, and cheese lasagna as well as Salmon Vincenzo with penne pasta in red sauce. OMG we stuffed ourselves and enjoyed every fork full! Highly recommend sharing these items to give a real appreciation of the variety of fantastic entrees on offer. Seriously, everything was so fantastic that we could not identify a favorite! Prices were very reasonable, especially so considering the portion size! We chose two desserts to go and are looking forward to enjoying them later this evening. Our meal was outstanding, second only to the extraordinary service offered by Emily and Caleb. They were not only personable, friendly, and helpful but our glasses were always full and we lacked for absolutely nothing! These young people are a real asset to your organization and deserve to be commended for service well done! Thank you Emily and Caleb...much appreciated. As for the chef, YUM....a memorable meal indeed!”

But it's notjust the food, it's the friendly service that makes you feel right at home.I'm vegetarian so the first time I went, Laila recommended something for me.The best part, she not only remembers me, but she also remembers that I'mvegetarian and of course remembers my order. I always order the Bolani(sp?) the side red and green sauce is DELICIOUS as well.”

Trailer Birds 6125 Apples Way # 209, Lincoln Chicken • $$

“This place makes killer barbecue BUT they have changed their bread. It used to be a warm, soft, moderately dense roll of pure perfection. Now, however, they give you a half-assed, soggy, flavorless slice of “Texas toast”. The only other option is a brioche hamburger bun. I’m boycotting Dickeys until they bring back their DINNER ROLL. I used to get 3 extra orders because they’re the best. BRING THE ROLLS BACK!!!”
