it's great foods best ever I really like salted crispy whole shrimp and veggies rice was so good We will come back again...
Have been here several times. An absolute must-have if you like Chinese food, but need to eat gluten free! Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten-free, except appetizers. They have gluten free soy sauce too (:
My favorite Chinese restaurant in Lincoln!!

My girlfriend placed an order online around 8:30 pm after 6 hours on the road returning from Fourth of July vacation. I arrived at 9:04 pm (three minutes before the order I placed through Google said it’d be ready) and they did not know they had an order placed. A younger woman at the counter told me it’d just be a few minutes & I said it was no issue as I know how difficult it can be with 3rd party order systems.
Another 20 minutes passed and a younger gentleman approached me & asked why I chose this place out of everywhere. I told him the reviews were really good & we were craving it after a long road trip. He told me that usually the last hour is reserved for cleaning & I am stopping them from doing so. Completely disregarding the fact THEY were the ones who made my order late despite me ordering an hour and a half prior to closing.
I will be sure to never return & tell my local friends & family ( since we all live very close to this location ) the same.

Our waitress was very friendly and knew all of the ingredients in each dish off the top of her head. She also did something striking that I hadn't seen before... she took our order and everyone else's without taking any notes. She made great eye contact as well.
The food was very, very good. I had the Mongolian beef with fried rice and a side of crab rangoon. Their fried rice is done the way I liked it with peas, carrots, and egg. The Mongolian beef came with all the beef and not a ton of rice. I think some places use the rice as a cheaper filler then skimp out on the real reason we ordered the dish. I would eat their Mongolian beef a thousand times in a row before even a thought of trying something else. The proportions, at least for dinner, were HUGE. This one meal will provide me with dinner tonight and lunch for two more days. It's worth every penny. They do advertise on their storefront that they have gluten free options.
The environment was peaceful and relaxing. The bathrooms were dated but clean.

Long detailed review coming because this establishment deserves it!
I’ve wanted to try this place for a long time but live far away. Finally on Sunday I had a chance. They offered me a lunch special, which afterwards I found out was not offered on Sundays, however they still honored the original price and kindly informed me that it wouldn’t be available in the future on Sundays. I don’t know if I received the Lunch or Dinner size… but it was ALOT! You can tell they velvet they’re proteins. (So important!) It was absolutely delicious.
I ordered the Mongolian beef, seafood hot and sour soup, and a side of spring rolls. I paid extra to substitute lo mein for the rice and did not know the beef came with an egg roll and a crab ragoon. Pleasantly surprised it all came to only $25! And I have tons of leftovers.
Honest Review (not compensated):
Beef- best in town. They customized it for my preferred heat level. So tender and flavorful.
Lo mein- it would be nice to have some cabbage or carrots or other veggies but was still very well cooked.
Seafood Soup- happily filled with veggies, nice level of spice and very comforting.
Spring rolls/Sweet and Sour- Average fried roll and sauce but enjoyable.
Egg Roll- Surprisingly better than the spring rolls. Normally I like those more, but the texture on the egg roll was pretty perfect.
Crab Rangoon- I normally never order Rangoon since it’s usually hard crunchy wonton and cold chunky cream cheese by the time I get home… BUT! Holy Cow! The best ragoon I’ve had. After almost an hour drive home it was still creamy, smooth, crispy, flavorful. I’ll definitely be ordering more next time.
Hot Chili Oil- I asked for this after I paid. NOTE, they do charge extra. I offered to pay and they just threw in a side on the house. Now… be careful. It packs a big kick of flavor but also heat. Totally worth the extra pennies if you want some heat. A little goes a long way.
Overall, the food and service was top notch. My favorite in Lincoln by far for food alone. The service was kind, helpful and straightforward when the lunch special issue arose, and it only took about 15 minutes, even during the lunch hour.
They made me a delicious meal that gave me plenty of leftovers and conducted their business in a friendly and professional manner. They went above and beyond to make me happy and it is definitely worth the drive. I can’t wait to try more! Give them a try and don’t forget to tip!! Thanks Ms. Chen!!!

The lunch special is such a great value! For under $10, you get a massive portion of protein, and a crab rangoon and egg roll, too. I got the general Tso's chicken and it was delicious! ?

Very bland and veggies tasted a little old, dumpling were slimy wet and again taste odd. Very pricey and definitely not very good unfortunately.

My sons Uber eats delivery didn’t show up and the owner personally dropped it off for him and it was so appreciated as he was staying in the hospital and tired of eating hospital food. They went above and beyond!

I have no idea how anyone could or would eat the pineapple shrimp… Absolutely disgusting! All it was is sugar, pineapple, sugar, a couple shrimp and more sugar. No veggies either. I could not eat it. The crab rangoon had sugar in the cream cheese as well, so sweet and I couldn’t eat them either. Happy family and cashew chicken were just okay. Very disappointing.
