Love the atmosphere and the food was delicious. One complaint was I asked for coffee with cream and they came back with baileys. I should had something but didn't want to be rude. Owner was very nice and so was my server. read more

Date night, went to Wave Bistro after a massage. It was 35 mins until close but they seated us and seemed genuinely happy to have us. The food and the service were unparalleled. One of the best meals I've had in Omaha and hands down the best service. Go here- you will not be disappointed! read more

They accepted my Open Table reservation for 9:00pm, and when I got there with my sister for her birthday celebration dinner, they were closed. Fail. read more

A great little Asian-fusion restaurant that's tucked away in a strip mall. My family and I have been eating here ever since they opened. My favorite dish is their "Lemon Creamy Almond Shrimp," but their Tempura Fish is a very close second. If you go here, you must order their Asian fried bread, which comes with a succulent almond butter. read more

This is my new favorite restaurant. Small, cozy with style and great food. Good for a nice dinner with family or clients. Priced accordingly. We love the lettuce wraps to start! read more

I showed up very late in the evening and there were a few other tables there. They treated me like they were happy to see me and I received great service from James. I ordered the firecracker shrimp roll for an appetizer. It was so good i could have just ate another helping of that and not needed a main course. But I went and ordered the green chicken curry with Pino Noir. I normally lean to yellow curries but this was outstanding. Fresh veggies and the chicken wasn't flimsy or stringy. Very good portion. The three ladies dining next to me left before I knew they had paid for my second glass of wine, so I celebrated and ordered the creme brule for dessert. I normally have picked up food to go from here and have been pleased, but I will definitely dine in again whenever I can. Great experience. read more

Wave Bistro - Asian Fusion Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

See all

I took my two daughters to The Wave Bistro after seeing a movie across the street. I had been there once before on a date, and I was having a serious craving for creme brulee. On my date, I ordered the trio of creme brulee and...mmmmm... I'm going to throw this out there: this is not a place that would easily accommodate children of the noisy and rambunctious variety. This is a folded-napkin, classical music, gently classy restaurant. They also do not have a kid's menu, but the prices are reasonable enough (many lunch items were under $10) that the lack of the normal children's fare is fine. My older daughter had the salmon, which came with egg drop soup, rice, and broccoli. The salmon had some sort of light crust on it. My younger daughter had the fried rice with shrimp, which also came with egg drop soup. I had the mushroom chicken dish, with a salad. I do have to say, the portions are very generous. We ended with leftovers enough for yet another tasty lunch the day after. Everything was prepared beautifully...except, I must say, for the salad. It was the sole disappointment of the entire meal. I love salads; I really wish a bit of effort had been put into it beyond lettuce and a dollop of Ranch. Our server was personable and attentive. One thing that made me slightly uncomfortable (this is going to sound weird, but here goes) was that the manager (owner?) seemed to know every person in the restaurant....except for us. She spoke at length to four or five other tables, passing by us without notice several times. Finally near the end of the meal she did come over to ask how our meal was, but there was none of the personable chatter. Maybe we need to be "regulars" to get a snippet of cheerful conversation? I don't know, but it was very noticable, and slightly off-putting. This and the salad are the only reason I went 4 star and not 5. Finally, we ordered the trio of creme brulee, which was secretly the reason I took my girls there in the first place! Delicious as I recalled, and I was glad to have them help me eat it. Raspberry, chocolate, and vanilla...heaven knows how many calories, but if you enjoy creme brulee, it's a must! I'll be back there at some point. I'd definitely recommend it for a date. read more

Extremely disappointed. First restaurant I have ever gotten up and walked out. Service and staff were not friendly nor were they attentitive. After taking our drink and appetizer order, it took over 40 minutes before it arrived and our entree order was never taken! I spoke with one of the staff and they were just willing to let us walk out. I have spent my career in the foodservice industry and for a restaurant operator to act this way was horrible. Save your money and dine at an establishment that values the customer. read more

Reheated two day old Wave Bistro Orange Chicken is 2.5 times better than 30 minute fresh P.F.Changs Lo Mein, Mongolian Beef or General Tso Chicken. I believe leftover Chinese food has a decent shelf life of about 16 hours. Financially and flavorfully, you cannot lose, and attentive service too. read more

Wave was one of my favorites during my 10 month stay in Omaha. I ended up there about once a week on the average. I took friends, family, clients, and coworkers from out of town there and most REALLY liked it. With that said, I think George (the chef and husband/co-owner) cooks the best salmon and sea bass in Omaha. The flavors are fresh and complex, and it was cooked perfectly. The lamb chops were another favorite when they were available. Connie (the manager and wife/co-owner) was always proactive about recommending specials or the newest/freshest/best items. When I felt like spending a bit less than "bistro prices" I would make a point of stopping by for lunch instead of dinner. The staff was generally top notch, friendly, and professional. The place was immaculately clean...even the kitchen the couple of times I was invited back there. Wave is on my short list of places to eat when I visit family in Omaha. read more

Had reservations at 7:00 New Years eve.. Did not receive appetizer till hour later. Waitress did not come over unless I was mean muggin her. Was served order 2 hours later. A well done Flank Steak turned into a Well Rare Steak. Gave that back to be fixed...Boyfriends food was brought out seconds later....Salmon Cold and dry. Said PEACE! Walked out. Not worth $15 a plate. Call me and Ill cook you a huge meal for your family for 15 bucks! read more

A very nice new age oriental restaurant. White table cloths and all. The food was excellent and the service was very good too. The building is in a strip mall so that takes away some of the atmosphere but the meal made up for that. read more

Great service, ok food. I was excited to try here, but found the price to be too high for the quality and overall taste of the food. My husband and I went here for dinner and got the Lump Crab Cakes, Spiced Seafood Dynamite and Chicken Yakisoba. The crab cakes where perfection, great chunks of crab, nicely presented, lemon on the side that could be fresh squeezed over the crab cakes. But unfortunately the meal went downhill after that. My husbands seafood dynamite was heavily over seasoned with pepper, I don't know if that was supposed to be wear the heat came from, but it overpowered the more delicate cream sauce and made what would have been a nice entree, one that was average. For 18 dollars he got 4 shrimp, 1 scallop and 4 small pieces of fish. I was not expecting large portions, but did expect more seafood then this for the price. The yakisoba had well done noodles and chicken, but for vegetables it had green onion and onion slices. No carrots, no cabbage, no other vegetables, and this made this dish seem very plain, and somewhat bland and lacking. Lunch would probably have seemed like a better deal then dinner, which if I go back again is what I will do. The service was friendly and prompt, with a nice decor and eating environment, but the food didn't seem to live up to past reviews. read more

Upon entering, I was stuck by the lovely decor! The atmosphere felt peaceful and tranquil. I had the Pad Thai with veggies, which isn't on the menu, but they were very kind to work with my requested modifications. My mom had the tempura fish and it was excellent. The salad with the house dressing was tasty, and the service was kind and prompt. Everything seemed very fresh. We had a good experience here! Thanks, Wave! read more

My wife and I were feeling froggy so we decided to eat here. What a mistake. First, they got my wife's meal wrong. Second, you could obviously tell the Chinese food was made in America. Three, it was way over priced. And for that - 1 star. read more

Connie, the owner is amazing! She has a personal touch like no other restaurant owner has!!!! The chef is hands-on with every dish, creating sauces from scratch, spending up to 6 months on some of them. My aunt came to visit from the San Francisco Area and she said that it was one if the best asian-fusion restaurants she has ever eaten at. My brother, who has eaten all over the world and has lived in metropolitan areas on both coasts, asks to eat here every time he comes to Omaha! We love the Wave!!! read more

Another friend and I came back to Wave Bistro again. Once again, the service was impeccable - very quick, very friendly. Soups were hot and flavorful. My friend ordered Pad Thai and she loved it. Since I had had the Cashew Crusted Salmon before, I ordered it again, and it was just as flaky and wonderful as it had been the first time. For dessert, my friend ordered the Crème Brulee Trio. I ordered the Japanese Cheesecake. I loved my cheesecake and I enjoyed a few bites of my friends crème brulee. Fabulous! Service was lovely and so friendly. Another very nice experience! read more

I tried Wave Bistro after reading over positive reviews and my regular Thai restaurant was closed. I got the pad Thai with chicken. Didn't really taste like anything other than a Chinese style fried rice. Not the pad Thai I was hoping for. The complimentary crossaints with almond butter we're good though. read more

Great food and service, green chicken curry, the best wonton soup ever

Excellent experience! Food is fantastic. This place is s unique, a must try. Service is second to none. Like fine dining but in a casual-ish place. Not your typical Asian restaurant. We will be back. read more

This place has great service and good food...over priced but good. I loved their strawberry daiquiri. I can't say enough how good the service was. That's the main reason for the 4 stars. I can't say I will be coming back though. The prices are not worth it. read more

I had the green curry chicken was awesome. My wife had the Asian short ribs with curry also awesome. Service was very good and cocktails were very good also. Excellent everything we really enjoyed the atmosphere as well. read more

Ordered take out from Wave Bistro December 28th. Started out with Shrimp appetizer. Four perfectly fried shrimp with delicious side sauce. Also had an order of tasty spring rolls. The spring rolls were well seasoned and lightly fried to perfection. Had a crispy chicken entree. The chicken was coated with Panko and crispy outside while tender and tasty inside. The sauce with the dish was sweet and a little spicy. Broccoli is the vegetable part of the dish. Also had some orange chicken which was crispy and fully flavored. All items were cleared made by a talented chef. The staff was friendly and very service oriented. A gem of a find. read more

I have eaten here numerous times and the food is always excellent. Friendly service and nice atmosphere for a strip mall restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Hit the place during restaurant week. Great service all were extremely attentive. First course - crab cakes and tempura shrimp were delicious. Main course flank steak very good and almond shrimp excellent (not a health food). Desserts were quite good as well. Overall pretty top notch Asian food read more

We went at lunch and were able to sit right down. 2 of us had salmon, 1 had chicken. Both were excellent! Service was great. Will definitely be back. read more

Not impressed. Minimal asian influence. My wife had salmon and they paired it with fried rice. Butter sauce was like eating a stick of butter. Spring rolls not homemeade and were flavorless. Waited excessive amount of time to get food Manager only checks in and apologizes After main course comes. read more

Outstanding food--the crab cakes are to die for. Owner seems to know everyone by name and greets them like old friends. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, food, and people. What more could you want? read more

we have been there for dinner 2 or 3 times and had good experiences each time. Most recently we had the pad thai, spicy seafood dish and a steak & noodles dish. The pad Thai was good (not great) the seafood dish was very good and we all enjoyed the steak & noodles very much. Service was a little slow at first but was good overall. The hostess (owner I think) was very friendly. We also had a cheesecake desert which was very good. It is a little pricey for dinner so we won't be regulars but will definitely make it back there. read more

Third time is definitely not the charm..... but it will mark my last visit to this restaurant. I have eaten at the establishment three times over the last two years. The first visit was a nice surprise; I did not expect to find a relatively decent Asian place in this neighborhood. At the second visit, several months later, the food was mediocre at best. But the last time I visited the food was just downright bland. I had the worst wonton soup I've ever tasted - mostly mushrooms,two shrimp and some chicken in what I first took to be warm water. The accompanying house salad looked like last night's greens, and I have had better sesame dressing from a bottle. Topping it all off was terrible service - obsequious waiter who needs a refresher course in serving. During the meal he reached directly across my plate from the left to fill my water glass on the right, causing me to momentarily freeze with my fork nearly to my mouth. When my dining companion finished his meal before me, the waiter uncermoniously removed all his dishes from the table before I had finished. Never, never, never do that. The dishware needs replacing (plastic melamine plates) and some of the silverware was dirty. Bye bye, Wave Bistro. read more

My wife and I went in for a Thursday night dinner. It was pretty good but not outstanding. It was a little pricey for what we got. It's been a few weeks and don't really remember what we ordered but I'd probably go back - maybe for lunch based on Sarah G's review. read more

This is my first time in Omaha and I gave this restaurant a try based on their pleasant reviews. I was going to go with a 4 star review but I didnt think the food was all that great. I tried the cashew crusted salmon with white rice. The salmon itself was ok, a little bland so I had to dip it in the teriyaki sauce to give it some flavor. The topping was too greasy and I barely tasted the cashew so I just scraped it off the fish and ate the fish without it. The service, however, was wonderful. They were so attentive and I felt like I was an important guest. Kudos to the friendly and helpful servers. read more

Perfect ambiance. Personable staff. Authentic menu. Haven't had Yakisoba this good since I was on Okinawa. Absolutely loved it.

20+ years eating Connie & George's food, tonight another reminder why. Great food, clean, friendly atmosphere...just a nice place to go. P.S. Wave Bistro has the BEST wonton soup in Omaha. read more

Great food and amazing service! Granted, my boyfriend and I were the only ones in there, but it was still great.

Great food and personal service!! Connie is great manager! The short rbs were especially good, and they remove the bones and fatty tissue before they prepare it. I suggest the creme brûlée trio for dessert. read more

We finally made it to the Wave Bistro for lunch and we loved it. The food was fresh and delicious with a good selection of wines to match. We were happy with the service and the bill. We will return for dinner soon for sure. read more

We just had dinner there last night. This is such a find - the dining room is beautiful, elegant, and quiet. The menu is great with a variety of entrees - so glad to have found it. The green curry shrimp dish is perfect, and the cashew crusted salmon was wonderful, and the presentation of all dishes was very well done. Our party of four loved everything about it - our new favorite restaurant. Prices were very reasonable! Have already recommended it to many friends. read more

OMG!! Love this place! Tonight we had almond crusted salmon and orange chicken. Both were delicious!!! You must try this restaurant!!!

Everything we've had is good. Hot & Sour soup is great, but for some reason they don't serve it for dinner when I've gone. If you like spice, get the garlic chicken and order it very spicy! They also offer online ordering that is very simple to use. read more
