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.

This place is tucked into the side of a building with a parking garage exit right outside the door. Didn't really know what to expect. The food wasn't bad per se but wasn't what I was expecting. I could be wrong but I think it's a regional thing. I ordered pad Thai. Which is a pretty straight forward dish. Either it is pad Thai or isn't, there isn't much wiggle room with a entree like that. It came out with the correct noodles but that was about the only thing that clued me into the reality that I did in fact receive what I ordered. I would say the sauce was sweet and sour sauce mixed with soy. Nothing close to the pad Thai I have had anywhere and everywhere else ever. But again it may be that the pad Thai where the owners are from have a different regional take on it. It wasn't bad, I ate it. I also ordered the fresh spring roll. Again not what I expected. It was noodles, lettuce and Krab (the K) isn't a spelling mistake! Usually these have pork and shrimp or at the very least tofu. The peanut sauce that accompanied it was grainy and weird frankly. If it weren't from the lack of flavor from the roll I wouldn't have used it at all. The server/would assume owner was very sweet and was very accommodating of our group of 6 that stopped in at 4:30, I'm sure not their peak hours. They accommodated all 6 of our separate checks with no problem which was nice and why they got two stars as opposed to one for the food. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? I don't want to tell you not to give it a try, but maybe be forewarned it might not be the usual dishes you order but a different take on them.

My wife and I walked here after yet another day walking around campus getting ourselves set for the school year. This place is walking distance from the City campus, about a block south from the Union. Upon entering there's a little wooden bridge spanning...nothing. It's just in the middle of the entryway. I suspect that, like we did, most people don't know what the hell to do with it and just walk around. Kind of awkward. We got two orders of tom yum, and a plate of basil beef. At $1.50 each for the appetizer-size soup, the tom yum is a great deal. It is hot, in every sense, and it'd be great for walking around on a cold day. The basil beef comes in a decent size portion, which it ought to for $8. It is very tasty. I noticed that some earlier reviewers dinged this restaurant for blandness, but that wasn't my experience. The service is good, better than it has to be, actually. We irritated the servers with questions about ingredients and soup bases, questions that people who's first language isn't English tend to find exasperating. Nonetheless, they remained friendly and patient, and best of all, they didn't lie just to shut us up. So this place is a win, as far as I'm concerned. I'd definitely go back and try some other dishes.

This is by far the worst Thai restaurant I have ever been to. Will not spend money here again.

Meriocre food. HORRIBLE service. Over priced and when I need a togo container for my barely mediocre soup they brought me a box. Soup can not be contained in a box. Sorry. I left it and the grey pieces of meat behind.
(1)Erika R.
The egg drop soup was delicious, great texture and flavor. I got the pad see ew, which was pretty tasty and the meat was good quality. The veggies left something to be desired and my friend's tofu wasn't very good, but overall it was a solid meal for a reasonable price.
(4)Ariel M.
Was not that great. I've had better Thai food. They're curry was pretty watery and the soup was not very flavorful.
(2)Ben Z.
I was surprised to see this restaurant looks much nicer compared with my last visit. They have redecorated the restaurant with good-looking lanterns and plants. The bridge were taken away. It looks more spacious now. Food tastes a little different but much better to me. The only problem is that it is still difficult to find in the downtown area.
(5)Jessica C.
Great food, I've had better pad Thai goong, but it was good anyway. Will come back, beef satay was amazing.
(4)Laura T.
They get two stars because the water was clean and the atmosphere is nice. The waitress looked lanxious and worried, not friendly and welcoming. There was one other table table there. The food was bad. The noodles for chicken and fried rice noodles were hard and rubbery, the dish flavorless. The combination noodle soup was the worst: one piece of beef, lots of fake crab, 3 pieces of butterflied shrimp with huge veins and tails still on. No sides. No Siracha. Save your money and go to Blue Orchid. I wish I had.
(2)Cheryl L.
I was really disappointed tonight when I came here and was told that they were out of beef so Panang Beef Curry wasn't available. I ordered the Green Chicken Curry instead and it was somewhat bland. I will try again some other time and hopefully they will have beef.

Is it possible for Thai food to be bland? I didn't think so until i ate at Thai Garden. The egg flower soup was straight up chicken broth with scrambled eggs. The egg roll was completely devoid of flavor & the sweet chili sauce had the consistency of water. The Pad-see-Ew tasted like rice noodles & vegetable oil. The chicken was funky flavored & the broccoli would not look at home in a garden. Maybe in a can or freezer. My friend's meal was no better. Blue Orchid is ridiculously over-priced for what it is, but in comparison, worth every penny if you want decent thai food in Lincoln.

Possibly the worst thai food i have eaten. Pad Thai was a orangy pink color. Peanut sauce looked inedible. The only fortunate thing was the food i ate went through my system pretty quick!
(1)Jeff P.
No wonder there's nobody here, the food stinks. I've never had flavorless "curry". I don't even think it was real curry. And it was missing the coconut milk that was supposed to be in it. The chicken was very over cooked. The tom gai soup was weird. It was full of cabbage and had barely a hint of coconut milk. Service was poor, as they seemed perturbed that we showed up during their lunch (they were eating right next to us). Even for Nebraska, if you're thinking of Thai, forget this place.

After going here twice to eat for lunch I can't help but finally comment on the food and service. I was told to come here if I liked egg drop soup, but their egg flower soup was quite disappointing. I'd compare it to scrambled eggs in broth with a weak/watered down flavor. The first time I got the chicken fried rice. I figured there would be some oil because after all, it's fried rice, but it didn't expect it to be so much! There wasn't a lot of chicken, but I figured hey, I was getting a rice dish after all, so I overlooked it. For taste, it was alright. Not really any seasoning or anything to make it stand out. Our hostess was quite attentive to us during the busy lunch hour, so it wasn't an altogether bad experience. The second time I got the Basil Chicken. For this meal I expected it to have more chicken since it was a chicken dish, and to be spicy as the menu suggested. It let me down on both counts. The chicken pieces were small, half the plate covered with more onions than I'd care to have. If you're going to put that many onions on a dish, they should change it to Basil Onions. There was no spice to speak of. When a menu tells me spicy, I expect my nose to start running and my tongue to burn. Nothing from this dish. It was bland and I hardly got a hint of flavor. Also, not once did our hostess come refill our waters. She came to give us the soup, our main dish, and the check, but that was it. It wasn't even that busy of a lunch service yet she still didn't have time to get us water. However, both times I quite enjoyed the spring roll. Maybe I'm just not ordering the right things, but I know I won't be going back here anytime soon. A note on the atmosphere: it's a quaint hole-in-the-wall place with a bridge to nowhere that takes up space, but after going to the bathroom with a ton of cleaning supplies opposite me, I felt like they had to have a better place to store all of their chemicals than in the women's bathroom.

Order the Tom kha for an appetizer, for $1.50 it was a good deal. It's not like any other Tom kha I have ever had, as it had cabbage in it. It was different, but I ate it. After being told the green and red curry dishes are exactly the same (not sure how/why that is...) I decided to order it anyway. A couple reviews said that the food was bland, but never about the curry. Well, I don't know how curry and coconut milk can be bland, but it was EXTREMELY BLAND! I could not even eat it without putting soy on it... Yes I said I put soy sauce on my green curry! Crazy! Will not return!

I no longer live in Lincoln, but I had to write about Thai Garden after a recent visit. I loved and still do love Thai Garden's Coconut Potato Curry. This was my first place that I discovered curry back in college. The flavor was so different from what I typically ordered from a Chinese restaurant, my only comparison. I ate at the Thai Garden a dozen different times and always had the same woman take my lunch order. She was excellent and took care of the entire restaurant by herself. I always wondered how she did it. I hope to walk over that little bridge again and order a plate of Coconut Potato Curry. Thank you for such great service over the years. This small restaurant is worth a visit. I am glad I discovered it and have cravings and wish I lived closer some times.

I miss my Pad Thai from here. I always told myself I would go and try something new, but those cravings always got the best of me. Whenever I come through Lincoln I stop in here. The lunch special comes with soup and a spring roll for about $8, and it's walking distance from UNL campus.
(4)Melissa C.
Decent Thai food for reasonable prices. The Tom Kha Ga was very tasty and well spiced. The yellow curry was supposed to be spicy, but was barely even mild. Spring rolls were good and tasted fresh. Thai iced tea was delicious. Great service here, much more impressed with the service at this Thai restaurant than any of the others in Lincoln.
(3)Wyn R.
Meh. They do a few yummy things - the fresh spring rolls, the fried spring rolls, the chicken satay, and the Buddhist Delight. But, that's about it.
(2)Mechaela A.
I loved this place when I lived here and I still love it today. I visited for lunch while in town recently. The pad thai is still super delicious and my friend said the sweet and sour tofu was good. Nice sit down place close to the University with fast service.
(4)Steve U.
Good Stuff. Just got some take-out Pad Thai, it's close to my office. Was delicious and the price was right. I used to frequent The Thai House, will have to go in sometime and have a 'dinner' to see how it compares.
(4)Gabby A.
I do eat here on occasion, but it is not my favorite Thai. The food lacks spices and is always a bit on the bland side. The Thai Rolls are pretty tasty, but I haven't ever been crazy about the main dishes. It's very cheap and very fast, so that's usually what draws me in every once in a while. I have always stuck to the curries, so I can't speak for any of the other dishes. If you're willing to spend a bit more for much better food, go to The Blue Orchid.
(2)Rosy M.
I've only ordered one item (Phad Thai), but it was so tasteless that I refuse to go back.
(1)J C.
Jessica L's review is way off base and most of her other reviews are as well. This place is well worth the visit
