    Mu Shu Chicken and Asparagus chicken.

    We love this restaurant. All of their sauces are homemade. They use fresh veggies, not frozen. Any dish made with the breaded and fried chicken can be made with fresh tender chicken instead upon request. They also don't use MSG. Go get some! You're going to love it!

    We've been going to Szechuan Express for years and it's always tasty and well made, whether you do dine-in or takeout. The owners/servers are always so friendly and make sure you are happy with your meal (when dining in) and package up your food extra well (when picking up to-go orders). Ambiance-wise, it's pretty classic - with a fish tank, green carpet that matches the green chairs, and really cool art on the walls that works with the vibe of the fish tank. Our go-to dishes are Peanut Butter Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken. The chicken is always high quality, not stringy or chewy like some chicken dishes can be, especially in takeout meals. I am a huge fan of sauce in general, so anything I order at any establishment has to have some kind of sauce on it - and Szechuan is great about this. Everything is always very saucy, but not to the point that it makes any of the breaded items soggy. They must use a batter that works perfectly with their sauces, making it both not too gloopy and not too crispy! Their soups are also great, and I do the trick of asking for a mixture of the Egg Drop Soup and Hot and Sour Soup, making it a good mix of eggy and spicy. Aside from the soup mixture, another thing I will note - make sure to ask for fried rice if you want that, otherwise the standard rice if you don't specify will be steamed vs. fried. Lastly, we always get the Peanut Butter Cookies as a little treat at the end of the meal. They taste sort of like the delicious burned edges of a sugar cookie. Yum! As far as Chinese restaurants go in Omaha, Szechuan Express has always been and is still an excellent choice!

    In a time when it's become harder and harder to find a sit down/dine in Chinese restaurant, we came across the Szechuan Express. This location offers takeout as well, and was doing a brisk business. Conveniently located at Omaha's crossroads of Dodge and S 114th St., the Szechuan Express is a hidden gem. Not very fancy, but clean and great service, and more importantly, outstanding food makes this a place to stop. We enjoyed some of their soups, along with peanut butter chicken, Mongolian beef, and one of the most outstanding versions of moo shu pork we have ever tried. The price is extremely economical and portions are offered in both single and family size. All food is made fresh to order and prices are unbelievably economical. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot. You must check out this restaurant for some authentic Chinese cuisine in Omaha.

    I wouldn't say this is the best Chinese food I've ever had, but for the speed, friendliness, and proximity to my office, I've become a frequent customer. Where else can you get a full meal - soup, entrée, and crab rangoon - for under $15 and under 45 min!? So far, my favorite dish is the cashew chicken. Tried the peanut butter chicken and it was way too much sauce for my liking. They are always friendly and quick!

    Triple Delight. Delightful indeed. Ask for it spicy

    Great American style Chinese food. Mom and pop type of place where they remember what you ordered last time. Clean. Fast. Delicious.

It prob ties w/ Blue and Fly, but this one is a tad bit closer to where we live and right next to lifetime gym so when we stop by there for some indoor swimming we grab some dinner there after. It's also next to Crumbl, which we used to hit up before we cut back due to my husband being pre-diabetic! Yikes! Anyways they are always so welcoming, friendly and sweet. Recognizes us every time probably b/c my children aka little terrors stand out but they never make it seem like we (nor our kids) are a bother. In fact they humor them and give them pieces of candy/lollipop at every visit. What's also nice is they have a kids menu which my kids love in addition to their delicious egg drop soup. Oh and going back to what a nice little family ran business this is. One time we were there with a disgruntled and unfair customer and they were so professional about the situation and made the rest of us feel safe. Hopefully that one guy will have bad karma forever for messing w/ the wrong restaurant family! if you love Chinese and looking for something as good as blue and fly but on the other side of town, please come give them a try! I would love to see every table full the next time we stop by b/c they deserve it!

The Secret Chinese menu has the wide rice noodle dish, special roasted duck, pork in fermented black bean sauce and other authentic Chinese dishes you can't find in Omaha. Heard from a Chinese Food influencer, and I whole heartedly agree, Chinese restaurants should have a 3 - 3.5 star rating. Raters should talk about the "rude" service, but talk about the good food. Here, the service is given by people of Chinese Heritage who were raised to be efficient, focus on the task (take order bring food) and not be icky-sweet and waste time. This is that place. The waitstaff is on task - take order bring food. There is no fluff. I got served freshly made hot food that I really enjoy. I am rating on the food and the traditional Chinese service.
