Most excellent! The braised beef ribs were large enough for my daughter and I to share. Sooooo tender and mild. Herbed and spiced perfectly. Since it was our first time my husband and son fell into old habits. Fried beef and fried beef/chicken. Both were loaded with plenty of tender meat. No chewy meat. Free refills on green tea and soft drinks. Most entrees come with choice of soup and rice. It was a quiet night so we had plenty of attention from the staff. Very nice decor. Calming interior with comfortable chairs. They are set up to handle groups of at least 8 people and probably more. There are 3 8-tops near each other so they can easily serve larger groups. I asked about their types of kimchee. Currently they have a mild sweet sour Chinese kimchee and a somewhat hotter Korean kimchee. The waiter brought us a plate of both so we could test it - free of charge. Seriously yummy. Oriental hard candy instead of boring fortune cookies. What at treat!!! There are so many items I want to try! For the somewhat adventurous they have chicken feet appetizers. If you have nut allergies, let them know. They are very careful with the cooking and dont use peanut oil. The four of us ate well for about $10 a person. I cant wait to go back!

Found this place by happenstance this past weekend. Wasnt even sure what it was until i got right up to the window and saw a sign that said "Chinese Food". First thing I notice was that it was clean and well decorated. Not that I care too much about decor but it was pleasant and gave the place an authentic look. The menu is extensive and I felt silly ordering General Tsos chicken (its pretty much my go to when I try a new Chinese place). There are all the "normal" pork, beef and chicken dishes along with Duck and seafood options. Theres even a large section at the back of the menu with more traditional / authentic Chinese dishes. Unlike many other places, you do not get anything on the side (egg roll, crab Rangoon) but you get your choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup. We ordered Crab Rangoon and it was hot and delicious. My chicken wasnt perfect but it was good. The spice level was just right for me. While I didnt see it mentioned on the menu, you can ask for less or more spicy flavoring (on a scale of 1 to 10). The price was about what Ive paid elsewhere for similar orders. Two entrees, an appetizer and soft drinks for $27. Overall a very nice experience.

Food was good but....the service was bad. My husband and our 2 closest friends went, placed our order and we waited then they brought my husband meal out.. we waited and they brought my girlfriend meal..we waited then they brought her husband meal.. At this point Im really mad as the 3 of them have finished their meal and mines is just coming out. I had to keep asking what was taking so long and because of the language barrier the waitress couldnt understand why I was upset. My husband never got his rice that went with his meal until I received my meal. Food was good but my husband says he never wants to go back.

I wanted to like this place, it has a number of authentic Chinese things to try. The owner doesnt speak English but was making an effort to serve the food and make sure people were doing ok. Our primary server though was horribly slow. Our food also had a hair in it and the noodles were greasy. We also had a spicy dish but they were so slow on bringing water out. They took one of our glasses and took about 10 min to return. Maybe we just got a bad day, but its enough for us not to come back for a while

Best Chinese I have ever had! Quality ingredients. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and I could taste that the just fried the chicken for me meal, it wasnt prettied and cooked just waiting to be served. The staff is friendly and full of smiles. They also serve true, traditional Chinese cuisine, so if you are braver than me you could try some legit Chinese food. Will be going there again.

So so so happy every time I go! The quality is always excellent and the restaurant is always clean. It really is the best Asian food ive found around town. The staff is always friendly and Ive never had anything bland there nor have I ever had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for my food and I go pretty regularly. Love this place and I highly recommend it to everyone!

This place is a hidden gem. So much fresher and healthier in taste then alot of Chinese food. I was pleasantly surprised!! They have a neon menu for additional specials, plus you can get anything extra spicey if you prefer. The service is superb and the prices are perfect! If you are craving delicious Chinese food this is a place well worth visiting.

Finally some good Asian food in my neighborhood (heck, in Omaha). They have a "traditional" menu which is made up of real Chinese dishes, rather than the Americanized crap everyplace else serves. The three items we ordered were all excellent (beef with cumin, pork with dried tofu, the bok choy). Service was good. We will be going back. Recommended.

Tasty appetizers, huge entrees, reasonable prices; we had a great meal and relaxing evening. Theres a comfortable American-Chinese menu, as well as a great-looking authentic Chinese menu in back if youre adventurous. Everything we tried was excellent and a great departure from the bland stuff served at other places in town.

First time eating here! Went just after they opened for the day. Clean and tidy, the hostess was polite and kept our drinks filled. I had the Hot & Crispy chicken, the sauce was pretty good! Sweet and spicy but not overly powering. Definitely give them a chance if you are looking for a new place to eat in Omaha.

Called in an order to go for 4 people. Told to pick up order in 20 minutes. Had to wait for an additional 20 minutes to get the order. The food was extremely bland. Meat tasted as if it were boiled. When all 4 people were finished, no one wanted the leftovers. Would not go back.

The best Chinese cuisine Ive had yet. Fresh, flavorful and absolutely unique. It hits home on the balance between Americanized options and allowing a more authentic Chinese menu to push through. Dont forget to look at the menu board. They have lots of specials there too.

Oh man, the food is so good... I highly recommend their authentic Chinese menu. This place is a hidden treasure for sure. The menu looks a little pricey, but the portions are very generous and the quality of the cooking to die for. Completely worth every penny.

Seriously, Id say this restaurant has the best Chinese food in Omaha since Im a Chinese. Clean, food is fresh and tasty, and service is always nicely. They has the traditional food, and that taste amazing. My favorite Chinese restaurant, highly recommend.

Good service and nice decor. We were encouraged when there were so many people inside and the menu was written in Chinese. But unfortunately, the food was as good as any fast food Asian-American restaurant (not) and the food came out swimming in oil.
