China Inn Restaurant — Restaurant in Lincoln

After reading the last review of the people coming to town and not enjoying their experience I decided to throw my two cents "inn". China Inn is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I know of in Lincoln. I drive from south Lincoln passing many run of the mill Chinese places to go there.

They have the best Hot & Sour soup I have tasted to date. It is think with fresh ingredients and actually a little spicy.

They have a tasty seafood dish called Wanza, which is fish, shrimp and scallops is a red sauce that I have only seen at the china inn.

I have also tried the Red Braised Pork before which was delicious. I did not realize that braised pork isn't just fried pork nuggets is soy sauce like I have been used to getting at American style Chinese food places.

This is the only Chinese food place I know of in Lincoln that actually has things like Duck, Fish with bean sprouts or black bean sauce, squid and Spicy Boiled Tripe not to mention the rest of the menu.

There are many other, more traditional menu options which I have tried. I would definitely not agree with the couple from out of town that thought the food was bland.

I believe that if Anthony Bourdain was still alive and for some strange reason found himself in Lincoln NE he would eat at...

I use to go at China Inn once a week... awesome Chinese, the other night my wife and her friends had a get together...first off the portions are a lot smaller....the egg drop soup was so loaded with pepper, very hard to finish....I had always ordered schrimp chow mein but had my wife bring it home... terrible...small amount of schrimp and I told her lo mein ( no taste,at all...so that's all it was noodles and shrimp..very disappointed...even charge a dollar for take home container....never again........so here's a update since the owners responded to my review...why would i go to a Chinese restaurant that i loved going to once a week and leave a bad review now....maybe they dont add pepper to the egg drop soup...don't know...it was very hard to eat... spicy...and yes I could hardly consume my plate full when I "used to like going there" now days that's the norm small portions...there was no vegetables....no carrots,no celery,no snow peas, broccoli, zucchini,no mushrooms...just a couple slivers of onions...there are better Chinese places to go..my wife...

Went here for the very first time with my girlfriend. My dad had recommended it to me so I tried it out. First of all, the service I received was amazing. Very Very friendly greeting from our waitress and I felt very welcomed. I ordered the mapo tofu, garlic pork, and peanut butter chicken. All dishes were hot and extremely delicious and the portions were perfect. I was very satisfied of my meal and had some leftovers to take home and enjoy the next day. As I was packing up my leftovers our waitress came and offered more rice to take home! I personally have a rice cooker at home, so I said I was okay, but I thought that was a very nice gesture. She even gave me a free soda in the way out. Love this place, and will definitely be coming back! New life long...
