Update as of 12/26/2025
Still in love with this place. Went there to do my grandmas birthday tonight around 5pm and they were so busy but you could tell they were doing the best they could with the amount of business that was coming in.
Ended up placing a Togo order after we ate because wanted to take some home and they said it would be a wait which I completely understood they even had signs up saying things will take a little longer with the holidays being one of the busiest times. The sweet lady working behind the counter was doing amazing and doing the best she could with all the orders they had coming in. You could tell some people were getting upset about the wait but they had 3 different signs up letting people know it would be so i don’t get why people were being so rude to them cause they were getting Togo orders, dine in and a ton of DoorDash and I think they did amazing no matter what the wait was.
I would recommend this place all the time and it is definitely worth the wait. Remember holidays are a busy time during and after they are over. If they forget something with your order and you comeback they will make it up to you.“

“Best Kung Pao chicken I have had! Everything my group had was amazing, this is one of the best Chinese places in Lincoln! Large portions and great appetizers. The restaurant was clean, and had a very welcoming and kind staff. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!“

“We love ordering delivery from here! They're so friendly and speedy, and the food always hits the spot. One of our favourite ways to treat ourselves during the week!“

“We were in the area shopping at Target and Super Saver and decided to try this hole in the wall restaurant right between the two. What a unique experience! It appears to be a husband/wife combo working, they take your order and cook it right there in the open kitchen. The Beef Bulgogi and Cashew Chicken with Egg Drop Soup was so good! While I would definitely eat the same food again I would probably try something different on my next visit just to trying something new.
My wife being a plant lover was super delighted to see all the plants in the restaurant that are for sale.
This is truly a whole in the wall place with really good food. If the dining room is empty when you walk in, don't let it deter you. Just order your food and enjoy, you won't be disappointed.“

“Excellent food! The only thing I would change is putting the crab Rangoon in a separate bag or container. Mine was put in with my food (to go) and absorbed much of the liquid from the dish and became soggy. Great service and atmosphere. I will definitely be back!“

“This is my go to, favorite Chinese restaurant in Lincoln! I love that you get two crab rangoon with every meal and the hot and sour soup is the best I have ever had. I can try something new with confidence because everting is good! They are consistent and have the best customer service.“

“Stumbled onto the restaurant. Had lunch and so impressed that we ordered to take home. Well .. we live two hours away. Best Chinese we have had since moving to Nebraska.“

“Love your food! Best Crab Ragoons ever!!! So full, but I keep eating more. You got my vote for best quality, price, and taste! See you again real soon!!!“

“I've been going here since I've been a kid, and I really enjoy it. The atmosphere is great, our waitress was so kind and so patient with us. I ordered the braised pork with mustard greens, and it was phenomenal. A wee bit salty 🤏 but that's how pork tends to be. The presentation my food was really nice and I geniuenly enjoyed it to the last bite. Really good restaurant, shame it's kind of tucked away.“

“Nice people, good food and good sized portions. The nice lady who helped me with my order asked if I would like to try some of their own mustard sauce. I always enjoyed trying something new....be advised....it is spicy. Anyway, great experience. I will eat there again.“

“Moved to Lincoln a few years ago and was leery of getting Chinese food in this town. Finally tried Highlands Great Wall and it was delicious. Sorry we waited so long but will definitely order again. The only thing I wish they also had was bbq spare ribs. Thank you!“

“The food is outstanding and when we got take out, the portions were enough for leftovers to enjoy a 2nd time. Even the rice is the best! Delectable and a great value.“

“I have been eating at golden wok since I was a kid. I’m honored to see their kids grow up and take the leadership role. I absolutely love them. My children and I have food allergies and they always make sure our food is made safely.“

“Beautiful store! Great Bakery and friendly staff!“

“Food is amazing, packed with flavor and the spice is just right.Service is impeccable, especially the wonderful and sweet woman who got my order prepared and ready to go. It's worth coming to Zhang's just to see her warm smile.Atmosphere is very laid back and the interior is very clean. Perfect for sit-down with family or friends.I got the Mongolian beef dinner special. The fried rice and main dish are mouthwatering. Spice is perfect. Hot, but won't burn your tongue too bad. Perfect for the cool weather ?️ Thank you Zhang's!! ?❤️?“

“Sesame chicken is amazing! The people who work here are really nice. Only downside was one of the employees chose to eat their meal right next to me, blasting their TikTok videos and smacking their food soooooo loud. They don’t have music playing, so it’s all I hear. I didn’t wanna be rude.. but please chew with your mouth closed ?“

“I think all the old commentors should give this place another try as under new owners and management and it is awesome! I am so happy i found a place close to me!“

“Just found out about this restaurant today. I came there with 2 other people who also come here to eat. I really liked what I had. I got a lunch special and the prices are quite reasonable. Clean place. Good service. I recommend your trying it out.“

“Motor coach operator stopping through Lincoln Ne. Was really looking forward to teriyaki chicken order from Panda Express (used Uber). Ordered large and received a small. Called store and thought they would just refund(usual response). They sent an employee to me with large order and keep small. That was awesome. Great attitude from whom ever took the call. Very nice lady dropped off order(Even called to make sure she had the right address). OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM PANDA EXPRESS. I have traveled around the country a lot and this is the first time any store went out of their way. 10 thumbs up ??????????“

“Very clean and friendly restaurant. Service was attentive and on top of everything. Our food was amazing! We love a variety of Asian cuisine and tend to be picky but after trying this place it’s a must add to both our favorite take out and dine in spots. The meal was full of flavor and the selection of different dishes is plentiful. We will be back.“

“This was our first time ordering from Golden China. And it was incredibly delicious ! Very generous portions. We had our order delivered and it came in a very timely manor and nice and hot. Looks like we found a new Chinese restaurant to enjoy !!“

“I LLLLOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE this place. The dumplings are so delicious and general tso chicken is to die for. 1st time having a martini and it was perfect!“

“Food is great. Portions are large. Owners are great. Enjoy!“

“We chose this place on a whim after reading their authentic menu. Everything was excellent! Best Chinese food I've had in a long time. Mongolian chicken, cashew chicken, sautéed green beans, pan fried dumplings, and crab rangoon were all delicious. If I lived around Lincoln, I would gladly go again!“

“Love this place for years. Whenever I'm in town, I always stop by to take food back home with me. Garlic chicken and sesame tofu are the BEST!!!“

“The food and atmosphere ❤️“

“Really good food would come back again. I highly recommend this place“

“I didn’t catch the managers name, ( Eddie I think?) but I went at a super busy night and watched her get screamed at by some guy and she handled it extremely professionally and continued helping her staff get through orders. Everyone that works here is extremely friendly and quite frankly doesn’t get paid enough to deal with the crappy customers. Thank you local Panda Express!“

“Evan!!!!!!!! The man cooking who apparently has been with HuHot for 7 YEARS! He was friendly efficient and most of all some of the best cooked huhot I've had in a long time. The server Tofu Tabby aka Des, was amazingly friendly and on the bev refills. 10/10 will be back early evening for these guys!!!“

“Ordered thru Grub Hub. Delivery was superb! No spills! Sweet and sour chicken. Chicken lo mein. Beef Negimaki. Clear soup and plain lo mein. Everything is fantastic! The food was super hot still! Chicken was crispy and tender. The beef negimaki has got to be experienced! It’s fantastic! And the clear soup is my fave! Highly, highly recommend! 👍🏻“

“Absolutely LOVE Hiro 88! Great flavors and huge portions - service is always spot on - no complaints“
