What can I say, transparency is an attractive trait on a restaurant. Started off with their Crab Rangoons, neatly plated with some great drizzle. Very little crab flavor, and its texture was damn near close to ricotta cheese but they were DELISH! Anyone else save the corners for a little texture in their next dish? No? Just me? Yall, I am telling you... their Peanut Butter Chicken was PHENOMENAL, and definitely have some real peanut on board. MUCH appreciated that. Their breading to chicken was by far, near perfection. More protein than breading is always a win-win in my book... it was like little puffs of breading, versus cakey/battery. Comes with your choice of steamed or fried rice, egg drop soup or hot and sour soup. Their Hot and Sour was SO good, with just the right amount of tofu. Highly recommended either honestly. Now the Sesame Chicken? Dare say I should've gotten that dish? It too, was AMAZING. Especially with those warm green peppers, onion, rich brown sauce that has just the right amount of garlic that made me ask kindly, with doey eyes, for a second piece off my husbands plate. SO good! We brought home a good amount for left overs tomorrow; assuming they last till midnight... We must've gotten in at the right time, because she was BUSYYYY with maybe 3 of the 15 (I could be completely off!) tables. Staff didn't just stick to one table, they were definitely tag teaming and that was neat to watch them work so well. We got checked on a few times and they're attentive as heck! We will DEFINITELY be back to try some of that Garlic Chicken and Cashew Chicken, extra cashews. read more

I had heard great things about Blue & Fly but it exceeded all expectations. We had their yummy dumplings to start with our winner and beer. These were the best deep-fried dumplings. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken from their Authentic menu. He ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken from their Chinese American menu. We also ordered soups. Hot & Sour for me and Dumping for him. Both entrees were delicious. Authentic Kung Pao Chicken is the same as Chinese American Kung Pao Chicken except they use dark meat. That dark meat was so tender and moist! You must have their hot & sour soup. I think it's better than I've had in SFO or LA Chinatown. Go! read more

We really enjoy coming to Blue and Fly for authentic, delicious cuisine! The staff are always efficient and nice and we love the variety of options/specials. The restaurant is spacious and clean and well kept read more

I went with my friend here today and the food was great!!! I will definitely go back. My friend is originally from china so we ordered from the traditional menu and had food that I've never had and I absolutely loved. Staff was friendly food came out at a reasonable timeframe. read more

Blue & Fly Asian Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I just moved to Omaha and was looking for a decent Chinese place near my home. From my internet searching, Blue & Fly was highly recommended. My mom and I stopped by on a Friday during lunch to try a bunch of their traditional Chinese dishes. We ordered the cumin lamb (孜然羊肉), seafood and tofu hotpot (海鲜豆腐煲), stir fried green beans (干煸四季豆), pickled cabbage fish (酸菜鱼), and a mala beef appetizer. I especially enjoyed the seafood and tofu hotpot as well as the cumin lamb and green beans. The portions were pretty big and the pricing was appropriate. Our server was very attentive and friendly. It looked as though everyone else was ordering the lunch special, so I'll have to try that some other time! read more

Blue & Fly Asian Kitchen - M16. Sauteed Lamb With Cumin Flavor - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Been coming to this place since it opened. It's hard to cook tofu to my liking, but they make it just right! Their flavor is always consistent and they have never made a mistake which says a lot because as a vegetarian I have a lot of modifications. I love the owners, they make it feel like a small town restaurant. They remember my name everytime I come in and even remember my family's order. Also, they always ask about my daughter. Hands down the best Asian restaurant in Omaha with the most friendly staff! read more

What can I say? Blue & Fly does it again! They have such a well-curated menu, and their vegetarian options aren't after-thoughts. Oftentimes, Chinese restaurants don't have a great veggie menu (usually, they just substitute meats with tofu). But B&F has truly put some thought into their veggie offerings. Even their hot & sour soup is vegetarian, which I never find. And I say this as someone who eats meat! Give Blue & Fly a try; you'll be pleasantly pleased! read more

I should have calmed down and taken more pictures, but I was hungry and craving this place so bad. The menu is extensive, there is something for everyone. The appetizers, soups and entree's blow everything else in the neighborhood completely away. From the tea to the General Tso's chicken it is all wonderfully delicious. Somehow they handle the crowd extremely well. Our food was fast, hot and so tasty. The service is super helpful with the menu. They can explain each dish precisely. We like Blue & Fly and we will be back soon. Get The SHREDDED PORK & SPICY GARLIC SAUCE. (not pictured, because I ate it quickly) read more

Blue & Fly has officially become one of my go to spots in Omaha. I've been here 16 times now, and it never disappoints. This time I decided to try something new, the Dry Stir Fry Hotpot Beef and the Chongqing Chicken. The Dry Stir Fry Hotpot Beef was loaded with flavor and the tender beef stir-fried with veggies and spices that gave it a perfect balance of savory and slightly smoky. The cauliflower soaked up the sauce so well, adding a nice texture contrast. The Chongqing Chicken which had crispy pieces of chicken tossed with dried chilies and numbing Sichuan peppercorns. It packed that classic spicy kick and tingling heat that makes this dish so addictive. Even after so many visits, Blue & Fly keeps surprising me with new favorites. If you love authentic Sichuan flavors, this is definitely the place to go in Omaha. read more

What better place to dine for the Lunar New year. We started with delicious pot stickers and egg rolls. After we shared a trio of chicken dishes off the Americanized menu. An order of bok choy with shiitake mushrooms was crisp, a bit bitter and purely delightful. Service was friendly and prompt and everyone seemed to be enjoying the quiet music, their food and company. Give this place a try . read more

It has been a minute since posting last time. Blue & Fly is still 5 stars!! . I have been wanting cumin beef or cumin lamb for a while now. I think Blue & Fly has the best in town. I also got Chung king chicken which is spicy. The chicken was excellently deep fried. And I love green beans. What I really like to talk about is the space renovation that expands the restaurant with more seating and tables! It seems so much more spacious than in years past. . One other great thing about Blue & Fly is the parking lot it shares with a few of my fave retail shops. There is a ton of free parking. I like to go shopping and then walk over or Blue & Fly for a relaxing dinner. read more

They have a huge menu which allows you to get whatever dish your heart desires. My wife liked the Cashew with chicken. Only complaint was that it could have used more cashews. I had the Triple Delight Combo which had plenty of tender meat -- chicken, beef, and shrimp and veggies. Both good, solid entrees! However, we were disappointed in the "Fried Rice" that came with the meals. Absolutely NO vegetables, meat, eggs, etc. were present. Maybe they have a different definition of fried rice than any other place we have ever been. Service was great. The Egg Drop Soup was fine and we liked the crispy strips that came on the side. There were several other diners and people picking up to-go orders. So it is obviously a popular restaurant. But the poor quality "fried rice" demands a star reduction from my point of view. read more

I was disappointed when I went to dinner at Blue & Fly Asian Kitchen. Maybe I expected too much in Omaha for Asian good, but it was disappointing in service and food quality. The restaurant was half full, but server would go about her job but never looked up. It took 15 mins to take our order, she couldn't answer basic questions about the food and forgot part of our order. We ordered the homemade dumpling (lamb and carrot) which reviewers were raving about on Yelp. For $20, you got 20 mediocre dumplings. The skin was too thick, lacking in flavor and more carrot than lamb. We also got chicken lo mein, triple delight and the braised seafood and tofu casserole. The casserole came out as a spicy soup! The lo mein and triple delight were swimming in sloppy sauce. The quality was worse than Panda Express. The restaurant was located in a strip mall with Ross and a pet store. Plenty of parking, but the lot needs to be repaved. read more

First off this place has yet to disappoint me. Whether it's eating in, getting takeout or having it delivered it's amazing. I love their peanut butter chicken and had been craving it for a while so I decided to finally eat in today. The service was great, attentive and kind. The food of course was delicious and i got to eat it fresh while sitting in a comfortable chair doing my thing. . aka scrolling on my phone in quiet I can't wait to go back. 10/10. read more

Wow, this was really, really disappointing. This was our first time trying Blue & Fly. We put in an online takeout order at 7:30 and it said it would be ready in 30 minutes. We got an email 8 minutes later saying it'll actually be 55 minutes. We showed up at 8:30, when it said out food was going to be ready, only to wait another 35 minutes for our food. When we had asked about the status they said they were bagging it up, and then we proceeded to wait another 10 minutes. We finally got our food a little after 9. This would be more understandable if they were slammed with orders, but the restaurant was not busy, there were no more than 10 people eating inside the restaurant and probably 5 other people waiting for their takeout orders. After all of this, the food was another disappointment. The Mongolian combo was pretty bland and also didn't ever mention having shrimp in it (heads up if you have a shellfish allergy or don't like shrimp/seafood). The General Chicken was alright, but nothing special, same with the egg roll, crab rangoons and egg drop soup. The wonton soup had a strange flavor and only 2 or 3 wontons in the soup. The fried rice also had very little flavor. I had heard good things about Blue and Fly but this was super disappointing. Maybe they were having an off night, but I would advise you to just go somewhere else. read more

When to blue & fly. It was not bad. They give you a lot. For what you order. I was hungry and ordered popular stuff that people order there. The best food out of all my orders was the salt and pepper fillet salt and pepper, pork chop and the salt and pepper shrimp. The pork belly was kinda bland. And no flavor. Ok over all. They have seating and a wait area. The eggplant for some reason tasted like bake banana read more

Came in for some Chinese food and ended up being surprised with their authentic dishes. We tried: Jellyfish and napa cabbage Sliced pork belly with garlic Sliced beef tendon in spicy Sichuan sauce Chinese bokchoy with shiitake mushrooms Shredded pork with scallions and soy bean paste Spicy pork intestine Chongqing chicken with roasted chili Homemade dumplings Fish with veggies in hot chili oil Some of the dishes were on the sweet side which wasn't to my preference. Of all the dishes, I enjoyed the Chinese bokchoy with shitaake mushrooms, Chongqing chicken with roasted chili, and the sliced beef tendon in spicy Sichuan sauce. Service was attentive and quick even for the big party we had. They were very friendly and accommodating for our large party. read more

Was really craving authentic Chinese food and stumbled upon this place on Google. I decided to give it a try and I'd say it was overall pretty decently authentic. I would have to try more food to make a solid decision on the authenticity of this place. We got some hot and sour soup, spicy beef, cold dish potatoes, and some Mongolian beef. I liked that they separated the "American Chinese" dishes with the "Authentic Chinese" dishes - I thought that was pretty cool! The service was quick, but we got our check before we were half way done eating so it seemed very rushed at the end. read more

Amazing food. Very personable service. Clean and beautiful white and blue everywhere. Lovely place.

If you're looking for authentic, traditional Szechuan flavors, you must try this place! I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed, the only inkling of food regret I get at the establishment is when I finish my meal and I scope out what the table next to me ordered. Everything comes out so fresh and hot, with explosive flavor. From the numbing and spicy mala flavor, to the American Chinese classics, everything is amazing. The cherry on top has to be the amazing service, some of the best staff at a restaurant I've personally experienced. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, you can feel the passion behind every aspect. Plus they have the best hot and sour soup in the Midwest hands down. read more

Good quality food. Options are pretty standard Chinese fare. We never eat in, as atmosphere is basic strip mall. Their carry out Asian food is our "go to." read more

Carmalizee the onions? In asian foods. Whaaat? Pretty bland. I'm a tough critic. Ordered door dash.

We ordered Almond Chicken, Triple Delight, and Mongolian Beef (no veggies). The service was absolutely amazing--friendly and attentive. The standout dish was definitely the Almond Chicken--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Egg Drop Soup was also incredible. The Mongolian Beef was good, though I personally prefer the crispy, charred style. The Triple Delight was very good as well. Overall, a great dining experience! read more

All the dishes tasted great overall. Beef tendon and walnut shrimp were very well made. Chongqing chicken's flavor was good but the cut of the chicken pieces was in a very weird shape, it was hard to eat, and some of the chicken had many small chopped bone pieces. Wish the restaurant would provide better service. The staff wasn't very attentive, we had to ask for food and water and get refills multiple times during dinner time. read more

I got blue and fly take out a few weeks ago and I was thoroughly impressed with both the breadth of their menu - both Americanized Chinese dishes as well as more classic Chinese dishes - as well as the promptness of the delivery.

Blue & Fly Asian Kitchen - 05. Broccoli Delight - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

The food was wonderful and the best authentic Chinese I have had in Omaha, however the young man who served us last night (Monday) was oddly rude to us. I wouldn't dare blame the business at large for the behavior of this young man. At one point one of the women at our table was taking a couple extra seconds to pick up a dumpling with her chopsticks and the server walking by stopped and was pointedly staring at her like she was dumb. When she finally looked back at him, he said sorry and walked away? It was very bizarre, as if he wanted to make her feel awkward on purpose. The rest of us could clearly see him standing there staring at her. Then later another woman at our table asked him to take an empty beer bottle away from our table and he said "I guess," before taking it and walking away. We weren't being obnoxious as a table, we were asking him as he came by to check on us. Overall very unsettling service from him. Aside from HIM, I absolutely loved the food. The dumplings were incredible, and every single dish was cooked to perfection and came out quickly. The place is modestly decorated inside, nothing super fancy. I would definitely like to come back but I hope I don't have to interact with that server too much. read more

Had blue & fly today. Been a couple years since I've been here. I need to make it a more frequent visit as the food is amazing ! I wanted a good scallion pancake and they delivered big time. So perfectly flaky and delicious! Also ordered the shredded pork in spicy garlic sauce. So fresh and the flavors were so good! Nice and spicy as I also added some hot chili oil. They have your typical American Chinese food but they have lots of options for authentic, real Chinese. Can't go wrong here ! read more

The food and service here are good. I only had one entree but it was the best chinese food I've had in Omaha. Perfect lunch spot and I'm sure dinner is good as well. Great portions too. My only suggestion for the owner is to get a giant flashing florescent sign that says OPEN - CHINESE FOOD in the window so people can see it from far away. It looked closed from the outside and most people are too distracted to notice. Great spot read more

The food was really authentic, however the wait is kinda of long as we went during weekday non-busy hours. The cumin lamb was really good, the boiled fish lacked any kind of spiciness. There was some metal part in our ribs, the owner offered a free replacement and a free dessert. read more

Why do I keep giving this place another chance? It's Chinese with Midwest standards. The Chinese food is actually really pretty mediocre or worse. Specifically, the pot stickers are fried gyoza, the orange chicken tastes of the multi use fry oil, the lo mein is bland and boring, the authentic dishes are lazy and bone in meat with small dice sized cuts - money saved for the restaurant but a chocking hazard for everyone else, and it isn't cheap. Why god on earth isn't there even one good Chinese restaurant in Omaha? This place gets good reviews constantly for their deep fried food in sugar sauces. 4/10 - won't buy again. You shouldn't either. read more

The service was great and the restaurant is very cozy. The food was good, but I did not get the dish I asked for. Regardless, it was good, but just wasn't what I wanted! The crab Rangoon was too sweet, they use a dough similar to Chinese doughnut dough. The scallion pancake and egg drop soup was good. My partner got that Sichuan beef and he said it was good, but the Sichuan peppers were too overpowering to enjoy the dish. We'll have to try it again since it does have raving reviews, but our experience was this! read more

I trust the Eater 38. For those of you that are not familiar with that term, Eater is a food and libation website focused on topics and locations by city. If you're coming to a city, your best resources are Yelp, Eater (the Eater 38 is the 38 best spots to try in that city), and the locals. That brings me back to Blue & Fly Asian Kitchen. It's listed in Omaha's Eater 38, reviewed well on Yelp, and I'm recommending as a local. My wife and I tried it for the first time, over lunch. Chinese food is notoriously ordinary, standardize in menus, and seldom spectacular. Blue & Fly certainly doesn't fit that description. The menu has many familiar favorites, like the Sesame Chicken and the Shrimp Kung Pao we tried, but the quality, taste, and presentation sets this Chinese fare apart, far apart from the average. For example, The breaded chicken was crispy, in spite of being tossed in a in mildly sweet sauce and the shrimp in the Kung Pao was clearly fresh a perfectly cooked. The crisp, fresh veggies in both dishes also exceeded expectations. Presentation of our lunch portions was simple, attractive, and appetizing. The service was genuine, knowledgeable, and prompt. Blue & Fly belongs on the "lists" mentioned above. It belongs on your "must try" list also! read more
