Excellent service. The lady that runs the front and waits on all the tables is very honest and helpful. The woman who cooks and helps clean is also very sweet. We have been here a few times and they easily accommodate a no MSG request for one in our party. We have enjoyed the Mongolian beef and crazy hot chicken. Kung pao is delicious as was the simple chicken and vegetable dish with a light white sauce and white pepper they made to accommodate the no msg. The space is clean and comfortable and we appreciate the gentle music and decor. read more

Good food. Very popular! They were so busy. My food was pretty good. I want to come back another time before I give more of an opinion I think it was just a crazy busy time/night when I went the first time. Everyone seemed to be enjoying it all. read more

Shared parking lot. If you follow Google map instructions, it brings you to a neighbouring building. You will have to drive around to find it Clean and neat place. We were seated immediately and tended to immediately. Lady who seated us also greeted us as we came in. We both ordered unsweetened ice tea. And those came promptly. We then ordered appetiser of spring rolls, kungpow chicken extra spicy for him and for me combo mei fun also extra spicy. Spring rolls were deliciously crispy with good filling. And sweet chilli sauce Kung pow chicken was fresh tender. And less sweet than a alot of places. Still not spicy enough for the hubs but a lot better than what we've had here so far. My combo mei fun was delicious. Fluffy. With wokhei. The way my mum made it at home. They forgot to add chilli but made up for it by bringing me chilli. This was delicious!!! We will be back again and again. Gem of a find. Not quite sure about the bad reviews this place has. But it's pretty authentic to me. read more

Had a delicious lunch with my wife here today. The staff greeted us immediately and showed us a seat. I had the kung pao chicken with rice, hot and sour soup with an egg roll. It all was outstanding. The hot and sour soup was amazing and the chicken did not dissapoint. The restaurant was basic but nice and clean. We will be coming back. read more

Great portions, clean establishment and wonderful staff. Will be back! Good local spot to support

I ordered take out here and got the dinner-sized Szechuan chicken for $15. My order was ready in 10 minutes and the portions were very large. Very juicy and large pieces of chicken as well as a good assortment of vegetables. The sauce was delicious. I eat a lot, but was full after only eating half of what I was given. Very good value and quality. Also, the lady who gave me my food was very nice. Definitely will be back read more

Great chinese food at a very affordable price. The portions are insane, just like any good chinese joint in the midwest. The food quality was much better compared to some of the local competition. The whole family loved everything we got! read more

Really good! I'd definitely come here again! I got the Mongolian beef lunch special. It came out so fast, and with a very generous portion. I didn't love the fried rice, it's not bad or anything, but it's definitely not east coast style fried rice, it's definitely a midwestern softer, fluffier rice. Not bad at all, just not my favorite. To be fair I have only encountered 2 places out here in the Midwest that have the rice the way I'm used to from back home. If you're local, you'll love it. Came with a crab Rangoon, but no crab in it. Should have been called a fried cream cheese wonton or cream cheese Rangoon. That didn't stop me from eating it, it was still good. Because the portions were so generous I was too full to try the egg roll, but I'm looking forward to it as a late night snack :) The service was attentive and drink was refilled quickly, restaurant was clean and inviting. Instrumental elevator type music in the background makes for a pleasant time. read more

MS CHEN 56 - Hot and spicy chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I have worse chinese food, but it was a microwave meal, the food was not worth eating, I think they used waffel batter to coat the "sweet and sour pork", of coure the arguement in the kitchen was interesting, and the on again off again music was a treat at a higher than needed level. I do not think I will make a second visit as I left 90% of my meal there uneaten, but hay the pop was good, yeah, save your stomach, save your money, find a microwave meal and be happier with the taste, really a no win for me. As for anyone saying this is a good Chinese resturant, dream on, you have been mislead. read more

Worst Chinese in the city of Lincoln. ordered spicy beef dish and came sweet and gelatinous with no beef. rice and tons of sweet vegetables came piled high but could not eat more than two bites, gross. Hot and sour soup was a funky flavored soup! Not good, horible, terrible would not recommend unless we were on a deserted island and went without food for months. Called and all they had to say was they were sorry. Pretty pathetic for a $45.00 dollar meal for two. You live and you learn..Hopefully our horrible experience saves people from wasting their money!! read more

Some of the best Chinese I've had in Nebraska. The fried rice is amazing. Perfect texture. Perfectly cooked. With lots of egg. Everything else seems like standard Americanized Chinese food well executed. Bring cash not card. read more

I ordered some sweet and sour chicken a few days ago! It was excellent! Very fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked, I've had the garlic chicken before too and it was just as good! I recommend it very quick and quality Chinese cuisine! The egg rolls are great too! read more

Delicious food. Dumpling soup was great and a nice light flavorful broth. All postings are huge and meant for sharing. Veggie fried rice was so nice too. read more

There are several Chinese food options near this one, but the food at Ms Chen 56 is by far the best. Went for lunch and I got three meals out of the portion of chicken in garlic sauce. The chicken was tender, not chewy, and the sauce was fantastic. The hot and sour soup was great, I just wish I could get it in a cup rather than a whole bowl, but it reheats well. read more

We decided to try a new place tonight and this is our go to now!! We were 'those' people who ordered 20 minutes before they closed.. and we were met with the BEST customer service. The nicest lady! She was absolutely lovely! And then.. we got home and ate. Sooooo good! Our new favorite! Unrivaled in my opinion!! read more

Best Chinese in town. Get the Mongolian beef or chicken with medium spice it's amazing.

Too much breading over cooked under flavored. The portion doesn't justify the price. Thx

Big fan! We've been here twice. Hot and sour is flavorful and thick, but not goopy. Crab Rangoon is stuffed full; light and crispy, not at all greasy. We've enjoyed several entrees, and enjoyed them all. My favorite combo so far is the Dragon and Phoenix. Service is attentive and friendly. read more

We ordered Szechuan beef and cashew chicken for takeout. There was very little chicken or cashews in the cashew chicken dish. The sauce tasted strange. My husband did not like his Szechuan beef because the sauce in it tasted "off." The fried rice was greasy. We also ordered egg rolls and crab Rangoon which were ok. Overall not a great meal for the money we paid. We won't be going back. read more

We came in for an early dinner and were extremely happy with everything. They recently opened up. The food was freshly made, service was fast and the restaurant was very clean. We had Mongolian Beef, Chicken Lo Mein, Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon and Chicken Fried Rice. Took an Egg Drop soup home and was equally delicious. We will be back read more

We got a flyer in the mail and decided to try Ms Chen 56 and we were not disappointed! Everything was hot and fresh. Size portions are great for what is charged, comparable to greasy fast food drive-thru prices but 100 times better. We always order the same thing when we try a new place to compare it to our favorites and Ms Chen 56 is definitely going at the top of that list! Authentic recipes, amazing taste and great value. 10/10 recommend! read more
