It was okay. Packaging sucked, they put it in a paper bag then inside of a plastic bag so the steam made the paper moist and it ripped (choose one or the other not both!) Had chicken and broccoli, it was edible just very little flavor and didn't even look like there was sauce on it so I doctored it up at home. Crab Rangoons satisfied the craving however weren't great. I wouldn't not recommend this place but I'm certain there are better options. Nothing to call home about. read more

Ordered hunan chicken, my go to dish, and two egg rolls. The veggies were fine. The sauce was fine. The chicken was cut up too small but was tender. The egg rolls were fine but wasn't given hot mustard sauce. The fried rice wasn't flavorful. The vegetables were just then sliced carrots, broccoli and mushrooms; need more variety The sauce was just brown gravy with some chili peppers thrown into it, lack of imagination and flavor read more

Not very inviting, very dull outdated spot, tried this place once and that's enough, fried rice terrible and clumpy with no flavor, nothing seems fresh or cooked well all just thrown together. Will not be back. read more

The dining room isn't open yet but last time I was there, the manager and I were talking about how excited I was for the dining room to open and they started having customers eat inside again. Long story short, I was pleased that they were starting up their lunch specials again so I decided to stop by today and get some takeout lunch and go home. little did I know that the worker who screeched in at the last minute before her shift and they opened. I walked in, said Hi and walked over to the counter to order my takeout order for lunch, I started telling her that I was going to be ordering a lunch special and that it was a to go order. As I was ordering and told her what I wanted, she shook her head and asked which order I was ordering. As I told her that the lunch special came with a partial order of each entree , she said that they didn't have it, I then asked for the manager and she said that he wasn't in today. So, I told her that I ordered this like two weeks ago but she didn't know anything about it and she didn't really understand English very well. Last time the manager got me to stay with them since I've been a long time customer but I guess I'm not going to go back anymore as the workers are not in touch with the policy or the manager just don't care about the customers anymore.

When the dining room is open for customers, I really like the lunch menu along with the price. The food is great but since the dining area has been closed for remodeling, I feel that the prices are a little high and I can't get the lunch special. I've been told that the they hope to have the dining room open again yet this year. Can't wait read more

Golden Wok has always treated me right! Their prices are very fair and still affordable! This business should have a line at all times!! Their employees are always very kind polite and cordial. As well as always being friendly to me. 10/10 recommend!! Absolute favorite from here is their hot and sour soup. Another favorite entree is the Moo Goo Gai Pan!! I've also religiously had their Tso's chicken, and broccoli beef. SO GOOD!!!!! read more

Golden Wok, which is now drive-thru only, has apparently raised all of their prices due to inflation but these prices increases are not reflected on their menu board. They blamed me for forgetting about taxes- that would have been a 31% tax rate! Restaurants should be honest about pricing and charge what they publish. Last trip there ever; too many other great establishments. read more

Too expensive, the appetizers are terrible, some dishes are OK like pork with black mushrooms

The best orange chicken I have ever had. This place isn't just amazing but also uses healthy chicken and you can absolutely tell in their food. Along with producing consistent awesome food. Golden. Wok. Is. Great. read more

Must be owned by Morton's Salt. How do you create food that is both salty and flavorless. After two different meals, i didn't even want my plentiful leftovers. If they were inedible the first time what would they be heated up except a meat and sauce glue. The decor is beyond description but a cross between Chiang Kai-shek out of it and Hei Muer (black fungus). After two attempts, I gave up trying to find the gold or a flavorful wok. The only thing good is the exit sign and the door leading out to the restaurant. read more

Been here a few times. Overall it's okay and the food is relatively good in a Chinese Fast Food kind of way. Fried rice is pretty greasy and has only small pieces of Carrot in it, no other veggies. Shrimp in Lobster sauce is pretty tasty and could be split between two people if you got a little extra rice. Speed was super fast. The exterior of the building and the neighborhood could probably make someone think twice about coming over but the food is solid. I can't help but get kind of a creepy feeling though, like the food isn't clean, so it does take away from the overall experience for sure. Took a star away for the really strange ordering process. Very old school (think 70's) speaker outside and it is too loud for one and half the time they can't understand you. You're lucky if they can understand your order even if you go up to the window based on how some of the people in the window barely speak English. read more

Golden Wok - Shrimp in lobster sauce - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Wow! I'm astonished by the quality of the food here. I'm from California, so there are lots of great quality Chinese food in the area. I never thought I would find one in Linoln, NE. The food is not salty and the staff is friendly. No recyling of left over food here. Dishes comes in a timely manner and I actually likes the Chinese accents of the waitress. Adds cuteness to a Chinese restaurant. read more

See all

Great place. Very tasty and affordable. Lunch special less than $7. It includes a main dish, choice of soup, choice Egg Roll or Crab Rangoon, and hot tea. Great deal and very tasty! We had the chicken Lo mein and Garlic Chicken for main dishes. Both were excellent. read more

Whenever I want comfort food this place is one of my favorite places to go. Most of the front house staff are friendly and welcoming, and if you start coming here often they recognize and remember your usual order. Most of the time when I come in I'm asked how my family is and how I've been doing since my last visit, so I appreciate the neighborly vibe. Plus, as soon as you're seated you're brought water and complimentary hot tea, perfect when it's cold out. All the times I've ordered carry out my food has been made promptly, mirroring how fast I get it when I dine in. I like starting with the egg drop soup, and usually get crab rangoon or the pot stickers for an appetizer. My usual standby for my entree is egg fried rice, but I've tried a handful of the chicken dishes, like the sweet and sour, and while sometimes the pieces of chicken can be a little gristly, overall it's tasty. They give you a full plate of food, and most of the time I take home leftovers for the next day's lunch. The sizzling rice soup comes in a bigger portion by default, so if you feel like sharing something delicious (or want this as your meal), this is a great and tasty option. The decor is a bit dingy and dated, and after sitting in a handful of the booths you can tell they've lost a lot of the spring in the seat. It's a little annoying, but not worth asking to move. I'd really like to see them do some kind of redecorating or renovating, maybe brighten up the interior since it can be a bit dark in the dining room. But, I'll gladly sit in a slightly-sinking booth seat for a sizable and delicious Chinese meal. read more

Golden Wok is the Eighth Wonder of the World! Amazing food and very friendly staff. Hands down my favorite restaurant of all time! I recommend the Beef Lo Mein and Egg Drop Soup. I discovered this gem my last year of college and was instantly hooked. I miss the days when I would frequent this beauty. read more

We tried Golden Wok tonight since the reviews were pretty good...pulled up and it looked closed down from how dumpy it looked. But we figured, hey maybe the food will still be good! Don't judge a book by its cover...no...I should've gone with my gut BC the fried rice was dry, chewy, and discolored, the sweet and sour chicken had no flavor and it was mostly pineapple, the beef and broccoli was mushy and the meat had a funny taste, there was a weird soapy taste in some of the food, the potsticker sauce was so sugary I couldn't even use it, they mixed up parts of our order with other food even though it was repeated back to us correctly, and there was barely enough food inside the containers for my family of four! The only thing was was remotely decent or edible were the crab rangoons and potstickers. I should've gotten pictures but I was so disappointed that I just threw it away. read more

I would consider this somewhere between 4 and 5 stars depending on what you order from their extensive menu. And keep in mind, this is a casual Chinese restaurant with "Americanized" food - it's not fine dining, nor is it meant to be. Service is almost always very fast unless they're swamped, which is pretty rare in my experience. The speaker at the drive thru can be difficult to understand, but they get your meals out quick once you get up to the window. I've never run into a bad dish here, but there are definitely some I find better than others. I particularly enjoy the Kung Pao Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Green Pepper Chicken, and Cashew Chicken. My standard dish, though, is their Tso's Chicken but done without the breading. This takes an average Tso's Chicken, where the sauce is badly muddled by the taste of the breading, to a great dish in which the sauce really shines. I do like their Hot & Sour soup and Crag Rangoon, and prefer them here to most places. The Hot & Sour is not done in a way that makes it overly dark, which I assume comes from lots of soy, and that's a big bonus for me. And though I'm not a huge fan of either no matter where I go, the Egg Rolls and Egg Drop soup are decent here. Lunch portions make a decent sized meal and come with soup and a couple Crab Rangoons. For the price, it's a great deal. Dinner portions are larger and usually make a couple meals for me, which keeps them as a good deal, too. When you consider speed of service, price, and the overall quality (and consistency) of the food, you can't go wrong with Golden Wok if you're in the mood for Chinese. read more

Pretty dang good! It's in the top 3 for my favorite Chinese in Lincoln along with Shen Cafe and Mr. Hui's. It's close to my work so I may come here more often. The decor inside is typical sit-down Chinese restaurant. The food is reasonably priced with generous portions. The service is friendly and the restaurant wasn't too loud or anything. The only thing that kept it from getting 5 stars was the lack of a wow factor. Sorry this is kind of a boring review, but overall this place is a really solid choice to get Chinese food in Lincoln. read more

They always say never judge a book by it's cover and I'll admit, I'm definitely guilty here. From the outside, I always wondered how they stayed open, because you never really see anyone parked out front, not many customers at all. BUT! The delivery and pick up is where they really excel, and probably make the most money. Food was excellent, I ordered for pick up, and it was ready within 15 minutes, overall taste was very good, not too salty, plenty of flavour, and definitely enough of it there for the price. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely read more

We've just moved from CA to NE... we'd been on the hunt for an amazing Chinese food place, and we stumbled upon Golden Wok. We were seated right away, food was HOT, DELICIOUS and served fast! Staff was amazingly friendly and kind. We had definitely found our new go to Chinese food place! read more

Golden Wok is a favorite. Family owned & operated, I am always happy to spend my money knowing I am supporting a local business. PROS Lunch & dinner specials are fantastic. Food portions & quality are excellent for affordable prices. Dining area is clean & pleasant. Drive thru. Delivery. Open until 10:00 pm. CONS Wait staff's accent, I have noticed amongst other customers, can sometimes make special requests a little bit more time consuming. CONCLUSION Highly recommended. As you become a regular, you will begin to recognize other regulars, as well. read more

Cheap and fast. So fast I didn't know what to do with the rest of my lunch break. Check out their motto on the front of the menu, it's lengthy and uses made up words. Props to them. read more

I'm always satisfied when I eat here. They offer large portions, good lunch specials, & complete dinner combos. I like to get soup & appetizers with my meal & they give you the option to add them to your entree for a fair price. Good family run service. One of the few reliable Chinese restaurants in town! read more

Not fancy but one of the Best restaurants around if you like Chinese, Good prices, good service, Great food - what more could you ask for. read more

This was by far the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life. I ordered the sweet and sour pork and it tasted like they burnt the sweet sour sauce and the lo mein was Soooo gross and no flavor we will NEVER go back!!! read more

Hands down our favorite Chinese place to eat in town! Somehow we always try to go on Mondays when they are closed. Too bad they cant be 24/7!! Tried a lot of different menu items and have never been dissatisfied. Always fast, fresh, and employees are nice. read more

Portions are good, prices are fair, and the food is awesome. They also deliver for free to most of Lincoln! My only complaint is how rude the staff can be sometimes. They guy at the register made me feel guilty for ordering carry out at 9:25pm when they close at 10. I was out of there by 9:40 and they still had tables so I don't get what the big deal was but he was very unhappy with me. He told me to order earlier next time and when I went out to my car for a second he yelled over to me not to leave bc he was going to lock the doors. There was still a half hour before closing time. Chill out bro! I had to laugh about it. read more

Ordered the hot and sour soup, which was sweet, not sour or spicy, and the black mushroom with tofu and bamboo. Both dishes were inedible. Not sure why this place has good reviews. read more

I am not a huge fan of Chinese food. Golden wok has changed my mind about so many things. I've had Chinese food around this whole town and always thought eh. I have never had a bad meal from golden wok. I tend to get simple things. Mongolian beef is my favorite. I can eat that stuff with steamed or fried rice and never be disappointed. I recently visited and took my husband with me. He had never tried as it is in a kind of sketchy part of town. He is also a fan now. This is our go to fast Chinese food. They have a drive thru but I haven't tried that yet. I have had them deliver and they are very fast. I had my food within an hour. I don't live near golden wok either. The staff have very heavy accents and are hard to understand at times but they are extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend golden wok to my friends and family. read more

This is by far the best Chinese in Lincoln and the surrounding area. Best I have ever had actually. I love the people that work here and run this business as they are always so kind. Very affordable, healthy, and just all together yummy! I always recommend this to family and friends. I will admit, the building could use some updating, especially on the outside. But it is so good! Support local! Way better than Panda Express! And not far from Downtown! read more

Always been my favorite Chinese restaurant. Their lunch specials that they run are very cheap with big portions. My favorite is the Hot Braised Pork and Princess Beef, both extra spicy. read more

Great value for great food. Lunch special has sweet and sour chicken, an entree, hot tea, choice of soup, and choice of egg roll or crab rangoon. Best value for lunch in Lincoln. They offer carry out, but I would recommend eating in before making a judgement on their food. Locally owned and operated. read more

Good restaurant in an iffy area. Food was outstanding. Can't wait to try their other menu options

This is my go-to Chinese restaurant in Lincoln. The owner remembers me and what I order every single time... and I don't go there that regularly, maybe once every few months. The service is super fast, and I really like that they have a children's option; I find this to be very rare at Chinese restaurants. The Mongolian Beef is my favorite dish, but sometimes the meat is tougher than others. When it's tender, it is amazing. When it's not, it's still good. read more

Excellent food and excellent value for the money. The Crab Rangoon is great, and I can't stray away from the peanut butter chicken.

THE BEST Chinese food in town!!! I highly recommend the Princess Chicken,but everything on the menu is amazing. Everyone is super friendly,and the service is excellent. read more

Called for carry out, they messed up my order because they don't speak english. It's like I asked for 1 soup, the guy yelled "okray you get thfree suups", and I said no. Just one soup, and they proceeded to yell that I get three soups when I wanted one. When I picked up the order I asked if they can take the two soups off, they said I had to pay for it all or I could buy any of it. So i won't be back due to communication problems. read more

The food was absolutely amazing, you get a lot for what you pay for especially during the lunch hour for any restaurant in lincoln so far. The staff is kind and the decor is so beautiful. If you want a nice meal with a peaceful setting, definitely recommends! read more

The lady at the front desk was very rude when I asked her for a cup of hot sauce with my takeaway order. She harshly replied me that it costs $1 extra because I didn't mention it while placing the order. She also told me not to repeat this next time. I thought in my mind (but didn't say), that who's coming here next time! Also I observed that they have very small portion sizes compared to many other Asian restaurants and a separate menu with almost $2 higher price per item for takeaways. read more

Not real fancy. Doesn't need to be. Clean. Service is always super fast. Best Crab Rangoon in Lincoln. Wonderful Sweet Sour and Egg Drop Soup. Only been disappointed once simply because it didn't suit my taste. Love their Broccoli Beef. Husband likes the Chow Mien. They have a drive up that is really busy and they also deliver. Super reasonable prices. read more
