Hot and sour malatang
Ankita S.

My husband, his parents, and I came to dinner here recently for the first time and had a very nice meal! We came about an hour before close and were seated immediately as the restaurant was not very busy at the time. Our waitress brought over and explained the menu to us. We got a couple of the bottles of teas that they keep in the cooler at the counter. We tried the honey and the green honey - both were good with mild sweetness. At first glance of the menu, it didn't seem like there were many vegetarian options, but our waitress explained that all of the malatang options can be vegetarian because unless stated explicitly, they were made with vegetarian broth. We decided to get a couple orders of the egg rolls for the table and then my husband and I got the hot and sour soup malatang with noodles six vegetables instead of three because we decided to skip the meat and the hibachi mixed vegetables with noodles as well. The egg rolls were delicious - crispy and tasty! The wrappers were a little different than what you normally associate with egg rolls, but I liked it quite a bit. The mixed veggies with noodles was delicious! It was super flavorful, had a nice sauce, and paired great with the noodles. The malatang was fine and plentiful, but I didn't find the broth to have a lot of flavor. Of note, even though it doesn't state on the menu, our waitress told us we could ask for almost any dish to be made spicier. For dessert they only had one option available which was the lime jelly. The jelly itself tasted plain but was in a bowl of a lime flavored juice or syrup that gave it the flavor. It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and was actually rather light and refreshing. Overall this was a good experience and I want to come back for more of the mixed vegetables and to try the dry mix malatang because that might be more my speed than the soup!

My husband and I had been waiting for Wukong to open, after Koko's had closed. We charge our car at the Electrify America station in the same parking lot, so it's always exciting when a new place opens up. We stopped in just a few days after Wukong opened, and even being a new business - they were on point! The restaurant was decorated very nicely, everything was very clean and inviting, and the menu looked incredible! The server that we ordered from and chatted with was so nice and kind, wanting to make sure to explain everything we were ordering and what came with it, etc. She also came over to ask how everything was after we got our food and had eaten for a while, and was very interested to make sure everything came out perfectly. Great service. To start, we tried the Crab Rangoon, which were super creamy and flavorful. I hate when rangoons are chunky and fluffy inside, making it sort of dry. There was none of that here! Just a really good, high quality version, which isn't easy to do. We tried two entrees - the hibachi and the Malatang soup. Both come with different proteins you can choose, and both were fantastic! For the Malatang, we ordered the Hot and Sour with fatty beef. The broth was SO delicious and full of flavor. It definitely had a bit of heat, but only for a twang of flavor, not to just be hot for the sake of being hot. The meat, veggies, and noodles all worked so well together - it was like heaven in a bowl. The hibachi we ordered was the Steak and Chicken. It came out full of the proteins in a tasty hibachi marinade, along with some grilled veggies, also in the same sauce, and a side of brown rice (that was great when mixed in with the veggies and meats!) The hibachi also came with a side of Yum Yum sauce like you see at the tableside hibachi experiences, but you could have it on the side and dip it yourself here, which I liked! For Wukong only being open a few weeks, they have definitely already impressed me a ton, and I will for sure be back many times. Definitely check them out next time you're in the area. Or just make the drive out there - you won't regret it!

ABSOLUTELY, THE BEST ASIAN RESTAURANT IN THE METRO AREA! 1st time was take out for hubby and I. The second time (2 days later), went in with the family! Truly, blown away with yummy and the service is outstanding! I would post more pics but I ate it so fast ... I forgot to take one until it was nearly gone. The portions are large and I still smash it within a small amount of time! I seriously, put the fork down! We plan to go back tonight or tomorrow!

Yesterday, my family and I ventured out west and were in the the mood for Chinese. We found a delightful Chinese restaurant right by the Super Target right off 177th and Center WuKongs Asian Restaurant It was amazing!! They specialize in their version of a Chinese Hot Pot, the Malatang I ordered that. I picked 3 types of meat and combined it with 3 vegetables. I asked for a spice heat level of 3. It is served in a rich broth. My daughter ordered the Orange Chicken which was pretty tasty. We had eggs and crab Rangoon to start and they even had chicken nuggets for my less adventurous granddaughter Vickie was our waitress and she was amazing and very informative She was delightful. Thank you WuKongs for the delicious meal and great service We will be back

Pork bone broth malatang
Stefan D.

I saw this place opened up recently so we decided to give it a try. I've never had malatang, or cooked hotpot, before. It's like regular hotpot except you choose the toppings and soup base and they'll prepare it for you. I ordered the pork bone broth malatang, which was one of their new broths they just recently added. It was pretty good, but a little bland for my liking so I added some chili oil. The beef and toppings were cooked perfectly and everything was served pretty quickly! Overall, everything was pretty good and I would come back.

Really quite disappointed. I asked for no onions and I got a TON of them. And I think in the chicken meal I got, there was a dozen or so cubes of chicken. I was planning to go to Panera, but the line was long and I thought I'd try a local place to gives some business. The food tasted good, but in my opinion. Not worth $18 for this and the Gyoza. I probably won't go back. If I wasn't back at work, I'd likely take it back.

A new restaurant that took over for Koko's Korean Chicken, and previously 5 Spice restaurant. You can order at the counter or use the self kiosks on the side of the wall. I ordered the Hibachi Chicken and Steak combination. A salad is delivered in a plastic container with salad dressing. The main entrée comes later, already in a takeout container. The steak and chicken lacked some robusto flavor, even though dipping sauce is included. Overall, service is very good and the restaurant is well maintained. 4 stars for the service aspect, with the combination plates needed a bit more flavor.

Crab Rangoon
Johan J.

New Restaurant and it did not disappoint. The crab Rangoon's are very good they did not skimp on the filling and they have a nice crisp to them. The yogurt drink was very refreshing and the hibachi was a good portion. Service is very friendly and you can also order through a kiosk will be coming back

First time here and absolutely delicious! Can't wait to go back again. Love the way it looks inside and the vibe is amazing. Thank you to the owners for wonderful hospitality and service. :).

Found this place online. What a great place!!! Super clean! Everyone is so nice and like. The egg roles are amazing!! Totally homemade. The crab Rangoon's are filled to the max. Both the egg rolls and Rangoons are not oily. The chicken and steak hibachi was delicious and well seasoned. Portions are great! A must try for those in the Omaha area

First of all, trust the reviews and get the things people have had. If you're local come back again and try other things. You won't be sorry. We had the cucumber salad (what the everlovin heck?). The sauce. I don't know what to say. It's indescribable. And it's so refreshing. You're going to want to take this sauce home and put it on everything. Next we had the chili oil sesame noodles, the tri-color soup buns, and the chili oil won tons. Everything was insanely good. We didn't think we'd finish everything but we did. You must come here.

For $12 ($16 usually) we couldn't beat it and HAD to try theirs. When I tell you it's perfect... I literally mean, perfect. Cream cheese to dough ratio was on point! Plenty of those fancy crispies, chives, sweet chili sauce, and each piece a decent mouth full of ALL the goodness. Naturally, the Reuben Burger because well... they boast about their Reuben meat, and they claim they're also the best. Came out piping hot, steamy corned beef, melty swiss, and a touch of tang. Typical frozen same size pattie of beef evenly cooked inside, with your average toasted rye (didn't taste like rye) bread. I heard it was "really good"! Now those hand made onion rings... definitely leave something to be desired. Disappointed that they came out damn near burnt; smelled and even worse, tasted burnt. They should've never left the kitchen like that. Ranch didn't even help in dimming down the taste, sadly. Top O' The Morning Burger WITH egg, duhhh. Again with the piping hot! The typical frozen pattie with all the fixings! The egg was done perfectly, the bacon was excellent, pickles, mayo, lettuce and tomato made each bite even better. Had I been quick to think I should've asked to see if they'd swatch some peanut butter on the bun, but maybe next time. Opted for fries, even though by default each meal came with chips. I was tickled pink when I saw they had Kindaiders Jalapeño Ale on tap! Don't mind if I do get a drinky-drink of that. Would we go again? Probably not.

I enjoyed the feel of the place and loved the live plants. I looked at the menu, that I grabbed on the way through and decided upon a vanilla latte. You go upfront to the counter and order. I was very tempted by one of their pastries, but I just decided to have the latte until I could decide what I wanted to eat for breakfast. Everyone was so nice and even brought a carafe of water to my table, since I was hobbling around with a cane (I'm waiting for my hip surgery). I was so delighted to see a beautifully decorated latte; in a simple white shallow mug, delivered direct to my table. I ended up ordering a light breakfast...one egg over medium, and some sourdough toast, with butter and their lovely jam. Everything was done perfectly, and the jam was divine. I will definitely be back again and next time I want to try some of their delectable baked goods with my latte.

This place taught me a thing or two about vegetables, which delighted all of our senses, and I highly recommend trying a variety of their small plates. This is worth a few minute detour. If you live here, well then, lucky you! Our servers carefully detailed the menu and let us taste a new wine prior to ordering. The dinner service manager is knowledgeable and passionate about the dining experience. When we ordered the radicchio salad, I was skeptical that it would be bitter, but was curious to try it. My husband and I could have fought over it--it was that good! The cauliflower was roasted perfectly, and sat upon a sweet and spice infused puree called mahummara with crunchy pine nuts. The complexity of spices compelled us to try another bite, and then another... Roasted carrots are tender and sweet. Paired with cool yogurt and chili crunch, they ascend into another level of deliciousness. A tear of fresh bread across bits of remaining sauce, and then (not a minute sooner) "we are satiated, thank you!" and the server can take the plate. The restaurant is adjacent to a theater that shows unique offerings and they will sometimes coordinate events with menus. We liked the simple cafe style tables and openness. Ample parking is available in back.

Star Deli is tucked away in Benson, and is open a bit later than other restaurants at all to cater to the scene of the strip. As a vegetarian, I greatly appreciate their entire list of veggie options, which allows me to feel unlimited in my options - unlike traditional sandwich shops that may have 1-2 veggie options. Star Deli uses creativity to cater to all types of sandwich desires! I tried the Jalapeño Popper this visit, switching it up from my traditional sweet potato sandwich order. As you can see from the photos, there was no skimping on my jalapeños, and they were crunchy and fresh! Not very spicy, but that is not something they can control without taking a bite of each pepper lol. This sandwich was flavorful and unique, and I would definitely order it again. The only worker quickly got 'cookin' once myself and one other customer ordered, delivering timely service without the rushed chaos of fast food as I saw him freshly chopping up the veggies. The local artwork on the walls and the location being in Benson, Star Deli is one of my favorite sandwich spots. A block away from a vintage store from the left and the right, bars nearby, coffeeshops, shopping, and ice cream, it really is prime for the day or night! I recommend the Jalapeño Popper, but with such a large menu, I will probably try something new next time, and so should you :)
