Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

One of my favorite places to go. I have loved everything I've tried. Food is made fresh and gets to you nice and hot. The best thing is you can add spice or have them make things not spicy. I love getting combo lo mein and making it spicy.

When you first pull up to the establishment and walk into you, you will first think "wow this place is an old dump!" but do not be fooled. The guy would help us at the front counter was very kind and helped us figure out what we wanted. The food was fresh and hot. It was steaming when we got it and we gobbled it down. I would certainly return to this place for a nice Chinese lunch. I would recommend to others to give it a try despite the looks. Like the old saying goes, "don't judge a book by its cover"

I love this place! All dishes are like no other - there are plenty of other Chinese places whose food all tastes the same. But not this place. It's different, in a good way! (Try the curry beef for a nice surprise!) The staff is very nice, and the portions are plentiful. It's my new favorite local Chinese place.

Good food, great portions, wife only wanted a little more filling in the Crab Rangoon even though I was good with it.

I have a food allergy to sesame seeds and sesame oil and Mr. Lee's is the only restaurant that took the time to clean everything so that I wouldn't have any cross contamination issues. Their food is incredibly fresh, especially their vegetables. Their portions are generous, their service is fast and friendly, and the restaurant is clean and tidy. The owner is a great guy and truly cares about the food and service here. Our family will definitely be coming back!

Mediocre at best. I had a late lunch there and it was incredibly salty. Crab Rangoon are horribly folded triangles. Generals Chicken was crazy salty. Lunch portion was considerable, but food was not good. Staff was on the phone when I checked out.

Great food. Worth the wait. Yes u may need to wait for your food,but everything is made fresh. The new owner Danny is a delight to talk to. He remember my name and favorites order. Good lunch special. Delivery is hit or miss.. recommend to anyone look for a good neighborhood Chinese restaurant

9/28/2014 If you haven't been by lately, you need to rediscover this awesome little restaurant. It has changed ownership and the new owners are all about the freshness and flavor that make the food. They have a great variety of sauces and the best Udon in town. If you haven't been here before, you definitely need to try it. The food has changed drastically, if you haven't tried it recently, give it another try.
(5)Jason K.
Spot ON! The service and food are what you look for in any restaurant and these guys get it. They made suggestions for "off-menu" items to make our first visit perfect. The Crab Rangoon are the best I've ever had. This is a MUST TRY if you are in Lincoln, NE and looking for some Chinese in the heartland.

I was going to go to this the other day but somebody told me that the owners do not own it the same owner of a year ago if its even open what a bummer so we didn't even try to go to that side of town when we were in town oh well some good things don't ever last not saying that if there is new owner is it is just as good or better but we do not know
(5)Kayser P.
Been here a couple of times, i guess now its under new management and the new owners are really nice. Came here on my lunch for a cheap n fast meal. Ordered the orange chicken meal, with fried rice and a fried won ton man was it good! Def coming back soon money back guarantee!

When I feel like Chinese food, Mr. Lee's chicken fried rice with their spicy chili hits the spot! And of course I have to order crab rangoons... They are seasoned so well you don't even need sweet and sour sauce! *drool. And every so often I'll get their fried pot stickers =).
(5)Audrey F.
I stopped and Mr. Lee's for the first time about a month ago. I thought the food was very tasty and good. I have been back a few time since. I live on the North side of town and will drive out of my way to eat at Mr. Lee's.
(5)Auburn B.
First time eating @ mr lees Chicken was good quality, my husband got the sweet and sour chicken and loved it. I ordered the general tsos chicken it tasted fine but there was no spicyness to it. It was good could have used more flavor and spice to it though.

Great little spot. Had the Mongolian beef. Yum. The fried wontons are great. The lady that took my order was very friendly. Clean establishment. Excited to go back.

I have made the rounds of Chinese food in Lincoln. North, south, east, west and central. For me, Mr. Lee's tops them all. Consistently good and they always get the order right. I've tried cashew chicken, vegetable chicken, Kung pao chicken, sesame chicken, twice cooked pork and Gen. Tso's chicken. All were excellent. The chicken egg rolls are good too and not greasy. The owner Danny and his help are all very customer friendly. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
(5)Aaron D.
Was looking for a new Chinese spot and I found it. Me.Lee's combines great service with great food. They're under new management so they've been recently updating their menu! You gotta try their wings because they're killer! Definitely found my new spot for a good bite!
(5)Keith S.
Must have changed their recipes. The hunan chicken isn't as good and the new way they make their crab rangoon is a joke. Sweet and sour sauce is more like jelly and my soup was cold the last time I ordered takeout. The last two visits left me unsatisfied...time to find a new Chinese place.

I live a few blocks from this new restaurant and love Chinese food so was excited to try the place. I had read the review in the Journal Star so knew it's just a generic eatery so nothing too specialized owned by a white guy called Fred. So my expectations were not set too high. It's the old Dairy Queen but is clean and well kept inside. I was served by young college students who were friendly and efficient. Now to the important stuff, the food. The Hot & Sour soup was savory but lacked any real spice. The double wrapped crab Rangoon's just bloated me down as it was encased in about a pound of fried Won Ton's. The center was just a mass of pure cream cheese, no onions or other flavors. I have admit I did not like them and did not finish them. For mains I had the Pineapple Chicken which was breaded, fried and served with nice pieces of pineapple and a light sweet sauce. It was decent, nothing extraordinary but the quality of the meat was good and was comparable to typical American style Chinese food like the stuff from the mall. My wife had the Hunan Chicken which was grilled in a brown sauce and served with fresh peas, carrots, broccoli, and button mushrooms. There were dried very dark looking peppers which added no spice or taste what so ever since they were not fresh. In fact that dish had not taste at all, but again the meat and vegetables were nice and fresh in quality and well cooked. I think this restaurant has will do well with the college students as it's price friendly and there's no other Chinese restaurants in the area. I wish the place all the best. For me personally I won't probably go back as I need some and flavor in my food.

The only reason it didn't get the extra star is because I've only been here once. If this place keeps getting better (not sure how it can, but for the sake of argument) I'll revise my review. So, first visit on 6/23/2013. The place is in a former Dairy Queen. We were unsure what to expect but were greeted by the owner's wife, who was nice enough to walk us through the offerings Because I am an egg drop soup fan, I ordered a bowl of egg drop soup and we ordered a couple of 'spring rolls' (more on those in a minute). We decided on General Tso's chicken and chicken and green peppers for our entrees. All that, fried rice and a couple of drinks was about $28 bucks excluding tip. Not bad. Comparable to other Chinese places in Lincoln. On to the food. First of all the egg drop soup was perfect. And I mean that literally. It's really easy to screw up and most place don't get it right. Thick broth with real egg noodles, peas and some onions. Tons of flavor and the noodles were perfect. A little shot of soy sauce and we were off to the races. Now, about those spring rolls. These are only spring rolls if you're a giant. They are huge. Like burrito huge. And they are fresh and perfect. They tasted like summer time. Come to find out that what we got was the spring rolls they make as a menu item, but Mr. Lee's will customize them (chicken, shrimp, beef) any way the customer wants. Did I mention they're huge? Well, next time I go in I'm going to order a couple of spring rolls and a drink and call it a day. Yeah, that big. So about a nano second later (it was 4:30 on a Sunday so service may not be that fast every time) they brought out our food. Freshly chopped and cooked-there's nothing sitting in pots waiting to be served here. A giant bowl of friend rice, and two generous plates of our entrees. My wife's General Tso chicken had just the right amount of pop to it without being overwhelming-which is another thing that's easy to screw up. My green pepper chicken had fresh, obviously just chopped green peppers and onions along with some perfectly cooked chicken in a really tasty sauce. It was all very good and again, freshly prepared. That in and of itself is a differentiator. They also deliver. Anywhere in Lincoln. They also have specials. I had a favorite Chinese place in Lincoln. I have a new one now.

Go here if you're hungry for some tasty Chinese food. Exellent fried rice and fried wonton. Was not disappointed. Great service. Will come back again for more.
(4)Shelly W.
First off, the server/cashier was very polite and friendly. But the food was seriously lacking. I would describe the tofu as squishy and tasteless. The rice and noodles had a brown gravy flavor, no spices or Chinese flavor. Also, the menu is very cheesy with two and three exclamation points after everything. Not my favorite Chinese restaurant in town---if you were wondering!
