    General Tsao's chicken
    Chad C.

    Visited here for the bahn-mi and decided to also add some General Tsao's chicken with rice. Took it to-go, but the inside was clean, open and inviting. For a Friday, they seemed a bit understaffed, but I still received my food quickly. Was pleasantly surprised with the portion size, as well as the addition of a fried egg on top of the rice. The full sized bahn mi was plenty of food, and the general Tsao's chicken was more than I could finish. I really enjoyed the extra mile with the fried egg and even some pickled vegetables added to the rice. For two meals, it came out to $26 which seemed like a steal. Definitely would go back here and try some.of the other options!

    27. Beef Eye Round and Brisket Noodles Soup 700 ml. Classic Milk Tea
    AliMae W.

    Over and over again I will shout how good Phoba is! Quality every single time! The food is fresh and hot. The flavors are amazing! If I've said it once I'll say it again, best pho in Nebraska, and possibly the best I've had in the US. Would recommend highly! Milk teas are great too. I've tried four different ones, I return to the oolong classic milk as it is my favorite! The boba pearls are always perfect! There is a good amount of seating, I personally do not like to sit facing a wall and they have been able to accommodate me every time.

    37. Chicken Pad Thai - Bland and Boring
    Malika C.

    Do not come for the Pad Thai. They do not use the typical small pad Thai noodles, and it was extremely bland and tasteless. I understand this is primarily a Pho place but the Thai place I usually order from is closed on Sundays so I ordered this instead and was extremely disappointed. I did also get a Taro Milk Tea which I thought was really good and it's saving grace of my order! From other reviews it seems the Pho might be good, and the milk tea is good. So just skip the pad Thai!

    Thai basil, HUGE juicy limes, and the best bean sprouts I've ever had.

    Firstly, I'd like to start by saying I've gone to my local pho restaurant for years (A certain one in Bellevue ), and Phoba had me rethink "what is good pho?". Phoba, hands down, has a tastier broth (which tastes like NO shortcuts were made in the process of making the bone broth), wonderfully fresh and juicy ‍ limes (not tiny, dry wedges that look like they've been sitting out for a day) a generous serving of unwilted basil, and crisp bean sprouts that didn't have that odd tannin taste that I usually notice everywhere else. I loved that the combination pho came with beef tripe already (something I usually have to pay extra for) and lovely cilantro that you can actually taste. Who ever supplies their produce, it's a crucial component to what makes Phoba pho #1 in Omaha! Thank you, Jessie for making my first time here an amazing experience! I was so engulfed in the pho, I forgot to take a "pho"to. Oops!

    35. Chicken Pad Thai

    My husband and I ate here a few months back and food was great. No issues! I tried the chicken pad Thai tonight however and this may have been one of the worst things I've ever eaten. Every piece of chicken was the consistency of fat. On the few noodles that had sauce, the sauce was this strange, flavorless pink sauce that tasted as if you watered down sweet and sour sauce A LOT. I am not a picky eater at all and I could only bring myself to take two very small bites of this before having to throw the rest away. Extremely disappointing as I spent $17 on a meal that went directly to the trash.

    Great place for a casual date night or even just to be with friends/family. The pho was decent, but they also have other dishes and boba to enjoy! The staff was also attentive. Their post-it wall was a good addition!

    The worst pho place I personally have ever been. I got the bowl with the rib in it because it sounded good, yet the flavor was flat. The broth was flat and not enough of hoisin or sriracha fixed it. The spring rolls we had ordered were 80% lettuce and also flat and boring with very little recourse even doused in peanut sauce. We will not be going back for their pho. This was rather disappointing.

    Food was good and generally good value. Service was lackluster and the server never did the typical check up after the food was dropped off. Food came in at a reasonable time after we orders but we were the only ones here on a Tuesday night. (They had two take out orders during our time there.) My daughter got the pho and the flavor was good but super weird there were florets of broccoli in there. I got the pork chop platter and it came out beautifully- they give you more pork chop than other restaurants that have this same dish. My other daughter got the sesame chicken and she enjoyed it, the garlic flavor was really pronounced. It came with a fried egg (not pictured because other daughter ate it by the time I took the photo) which is super interesting. Overall, good food, some odd additions to traditional dishes, and so so service. They have room to grow and we would try it again!

    I died & went to Thai heaven the food is fresh & so tasty! And this was my first time trying boba & it's a 11/10!

    Combination pho
    Vicky N.

    Only one size for pho and it's a large portion, wish they had different sizes available. I got the combination pho and there was a lot of meat! Broth tasted very clean. I wish the broth with more fragrant with all the spices that pho entails. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were very nice.

I honestly can't remember the burger I had, but I remember that I wanted to have it with the strawberry aioli and they were happy to make the change for me. I am a little obsessed with fries - they are my crush - these have to be some of the best fries I have every had. I will be back

    First time here. It's a smaller spot so it's was super busy. It was a Friday and we arrived around…read more6:30. After I ordered I saw 10 other people with order numbers in their hand so that was an indication of the wait we were about to endure. We had to stand for a bit before a table was available. It took 45 minutes before the food arrived. Now the food. It was good enough to say I'll try it again. If it wasn't for the generous portion of fries I would have left hungry. I'd be happy to pay $18 for two sliders and half the amount of fries. Fries were good but most likely a premade frozen fry nothing unique. The size of the burger was honestly comparable to the McBurger not the Big Mac (smaller and less meat). Couldn't have been more than 1/4 lb. Very thin. Yes I know it's a smash burger but paper thin and didn't pour out of an already tiny bun. I ordered the heat burger. It came with pepper jack cheese jalapeños and aïoli sauce. I dipped it in ketchup b/c it seemed dry. The 9 year old ordered the classic with added bacon. I'd say add the 3rd patty for $3 to make the meat to bun ratio closer to equal.

    Didn't have a greatest experience here recently given the high expectations we place on a normally…read moreawesome place. Kiddo tried the Mac and Cheese for the first time and it was not great. The noodles were overcooked and the whole thing was too goopy for their liking. The Chipotle chicken sandwich felt a little small for what you'd expect for $10. The flavors were really good, but was still hungry after. Didn't jam it with a ton of toppings, but could definitely use more meat and cheese. I do recommend the tuna salad. Very good. The tomato bisque soup was delicious as well. Could use a side of bread tho. The place was nice a clean as usual and had plenty of seating. The rewards program was a real miss. They didn't ask for our rewards code and apparently you can't get credit using the receipt (like most places). I totally get that this location didn't make the app, but they should know about this limitation and be a bit more proactive to prevent these types of situations. Still a family favorite...look forward to a better experience next time.

    Normally on a given day, I would have given Pickleman's an outstanding rating. However, on this…read moreday, I decided to pull through the drive-through because I was longing for a BLT sandwich and there was absolutely no wait. I ordered my sandwich at 3:43 PM and immediately pulled up to the window. The clerk took my money and then proceeded to tell me that my sandwich would be out in just a minute. At 4:00 PM, I watched a lady who was counting money at the drawer from outside the window. I gently tapped on the window and I asked her if I could check on the status of my sandwich. She rudely says "they are working on it." and shuts the door before she even finishes the sentence. A few more minutes go by and she proceeds to open the window and shove the bag at my face and says "here." Because my husband and I frequent this particular location so often, I know we have seen this person before, and I believe she is in a manager role. Well, miss manager, unfortunately, you just lost yourself a customer. I am sure Jimmy John's would be more than happy to take my money any day.

    I'm sorry, Danny DeVito - I love you, but I did NOT love Jersey Mike's. You can be their celebrity…read morespokesperson if it pays the bills, but you steered me wrong this time, Danny. All joking aside, I had not visited Jersey Mike's in the past, because I am a very big sauce girl and had seen that Jersey Mike's has no sauces. They have mayonnaise and olive oil and vinegar, etc. That is the extent of their sauce game. And they have no toppings aside from tomatoes and onions and simple things like that. Not a sandwich place after my heart, I must say. I am a Potbelly or Subway girl for the above reasons. Mama's Meatball at Potbelly - yummmm! And that Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki at Subway - I would eat it even knowing there's yoga mat in the bread. Jersey Mike's does have a nice vibe going in their shop, kind of like you're at a baseball game or something with the red, white, and blue color palette. But then there are pictures of beaches and things, so that was a little confusing. I got the Turkey Provolone sandwich to try for my first (and last) visit. I don't like tomatoes or onions, but they did have black olives, so I added those. They have no sauces, as I said, except mayo, so that's what I ordered and I got a LOT of it since it was the only "moisturizing" aspect of this dry turkey sandwich. Even with the onslaught of mayo that I added to this sandwich, it was still somehow very dry in the end. I think it's because they put WAY too much meat on the sandwich (which is hand cut on a slicer, and I do appreciate that). But the absurd amount of meat just soaked up all the toppings and made it dry and unappetizing. My husband got the tuna salad sandwich, and that was actually pretty good (he gave me half of his since I didn't like mine at all). It did have some flavor and wasn't super dry like mine. So because his sandwich was good, I am upgrading my review from a two star to a three. Overall, I would say to skip Jersey Mike's if you're not a fan of pretty basic/bland sandwiches. If you are a fan of those, then Jersey Mike's might be for you, and that's ok.

    This new location has great subs and a good staff. Prices are reasonable. Seating is available…read more Election is the typical good for this type of business. Location is a bit hidden from Center St., but it's manageable. My wife and I enjoyed our take-out subs, and are likely to return.
