Hip Bao
My 2.5 year old LOVES Steam buns. We found this place online and had to try it. We can definitely say our little one enjoyed the buns! The service was amazing! We got our food fast, we got some phenomenal hot sour soup and they actually got us some milk for our daughter, even though it wasn’t on the menu. Try the custard bao, it’s a nice sweet pillow cloud treat! We will come back to try the noodle dishes!
The service was excellent. It was a treat going here the first time meeting the sweet hostess. My wife and I had some of the best rangoon we've ever had. Clean dining area with simple decor. We are trying different things as we visit each time. The hardest thing is limiting myself to one or two items! It hasn't happened yet. :-)
Thai Orchid Bar and Grill
This place is great. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The food is good and the portions are decent. Prices are pretty good. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. It was a good experience and we will definitely be back.
Our favorite Thai restaurant was closed this evening (Vientiane Noodle Shop) so we looked for a Thai place we hadn't been to before and found Thai Orchid. Nice looking place, had a small somewhat private room that was reserved for a party, a karaoke section, a bar, and a hallway with what looked like digital video games. I ordered Red Curry and my boyfriend had Fried Rice, both to-go. We liked our dishes, they were fine. Mine was a bit on the sweet side, so if you like that flavoring, you'll be ok with Red Curry. I like a more savory curry, so I'd give this 3 stars. I did like that they noted "Fish Sauce" in the Papaya Salad on the menu, so I avoided that (because I'm vegan). The Fried Rice dish was also ok. We ordered ahead and the food was ready for pickup when we arrived. Parking was not a problem at 6 p.m. on a weeknight, the lot was not full. My search for authentic Haw Mok Gai (Tofu) continues and the closest thing I've found to it is at Vientiane Noodle Shop, the dish called Kang Pet. If anyone knows where this dish is located, please let me know. It used to be at Bangkok Orchid and I read in another review here that Thai Orchid's chef is rumored to have been trained by Thai Joe or his wife, owners of Bangkok Orchid. If that's so, I'll contact them and see if they can make Haw Mok Gai, with Tofu instead. I miss that dish so much!
Great Wall
I can understand why this is a "drive thru" mostly place. The food was pretty good, actually. I was surprised how the food was considering how the inside of the restaurant is, and the staff was. I was the only person there, and it took 10 minutes for someone to greet me. So essentially, if you're going here, stick with the drive thru.
Only my first time here, but I was very pleased with my food. Thankfully, unlike most Midwest Chinese food, the sauce WAS NOT thick, sweet, and syrupy! And It had lots of veggies not just meat! I will definitely be coming back again.
Island Noodles WI
Honestly, I feel like this place could be better under different circumstances. We tried the vegan noodles at Mopop because there weren't many other places with vegan options. The noodles were fine, but the sauce left a film in our mouths & the veggies were raw- not to mention the carrots were full baby carrots... not cut or sliced in any way. I get that they were busy and probably short on supplies, so I gave 2 stars instead of the 1 star experience we had.
$16 for a basic to go container full of noodles veggies and chicken covered in the worst teriyaki sauce. Don't even have good sriracha... 10$ value
Dragon Cafe
Spring rolls were oily, inside and out. I asked to make sure it was egg rolls. He said they were the same, however these were made of rice paper and not flour, but I digress. The Mei Fun was heavily salted. Way too much msg and not enough seasoning. Not even a hint of ginger. The chicken was also old, and stringy, meaning it wasn’t hydrated long enough with the cornstarch slurry which would have rejuvenated the chicken. The noodles had a gummy texture meaning the noodles were over cooked during the stirfry and not enough oil was added for the light sear. The meat portion was fair. 4/10 The Dragon and Phoenix, basically deep fried tender beef tossed in brown sauce separated by broccoli from jumbo shrimp also deep fried and tossed in a simple garlic sauce. The shrimp were swimming in the sauce, also doused in msg. The beef was tender like the chicken should have been from the mei fun. The beef sauce was a bit too sweet and was drily familiar to bbq, Just saying. The portion was ok. 4/10 Overall I wouldn’t spend my money here. There are better options and fell below par for the typical Asian fast food restaurant. I was expecting midrange and hoping for a notch above. I’m very disappointed and think this restaurant is cutting corners when it comes to prepping their food and is heavy handed with the salt and msg in place of the Asian trio garlic ginger and spring onion. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are using bullion or store bought chicken stock for their base stock, which would explain all the salt. There is no pride I this food and the oily spring roll immediately hurt my stomach. It may look good but trust me, skip this one.
The most mid Chinese food that I’ve had in the Omaha area. Ordered three different dishes and they all tasted the same. One was supposed to be spicy, I don’t think a single chile pepper was in the kitchen when it was made. Service was quick and the Spring rolls are decent.
