Golden Wok

I don’t mind spending money on a good meal but the food definitely ain’t worth the price. Left feeling ripped off.

Good restaurant in an iffy area. Food was outstanding. Can’t wait to try their other menu options

When we called the restaurant for a delivery since we haven’t eaten there for a while since the last time we were there inside one of our soups was like a used napkin (it was disgusting and they kept saying it was one of our napkins but we haven’t even touched the food since it just got there). But we decided to give it another try but the guy was VERY rude. He gave us attitude and was just plain rude so we canceled our order. We do not plan on going back. The food was always cold and some didn’t even have flavor anyways. I do not recommend this restaurant AT ALL!

Excellent food and excellent value for the money. The Crab Rangoon is great, and I can’t stray away from the peanut butter chicken.

This is my go-​to Chinese restaurant in Lincoln. The owner remembers me and what I order every single time… and I don’t go there that regularly, maybe once every few months. The service is super fast, and I really like that they have a children’s option; I find this to be very rare at Chinese restaurants. The Mongolian Beef is my favorite dish, but sometimes the meat is tougher than others. When it’s tender, it is amazing. When it’s not, it’s still good.

Been here a few times. Overall it’s okay and the food is relatively good in a Chinese Fast Food kind of way. Fried rice is pretty greasy and has only small pieces of Carrot in it, no other veggies. Shrimp in Lobster sauce is pretty tasty and could be split between two people if you got a little extra rice.
Speed was super fast.
The exterior of the building and the neighborhood could probably make someone think twice about coming over but the food is solid. I can’t help but get kind of a creepy feeling though, like the food isn’t clean, so it does take away from the overall experience for sure.
Took a star away for the really strange ordering process. Very old school (think 70’s) speaker outside and it is too loud for one and half the time they can’t understand you. You’re lucky if they can understand your order even if you go up to the window based on how some of the people in the window barely speak English.

This is by far the best Chinese in Lincoln and the surrounding area. Best I have ever had actually. I love the people that work here and run this business as they are always so kind. Very affordable, healthy, and just all together yummy! I always recommend this to family and friends. I will admit, the building could use some updating, especially on the outside. But it is so good! Support local! Way better than Panda Express! And not far from Downtown!

I would consider this somewhere between 4 and 5 stars depending on what you order from their extensive menu. And keep in mind, this is a casual Chinese restaurant with «Americanized» food — it’s not fine dining, nor is it meant to be.
Service is almost always very fast unless they’re swamped, which is pretty rare in my experience. The speaker at the drive thru can be difficult to understand, but they get your meals out quick once you get up to the window.
I’ve never run into a bad dish here, but there are definitely some I find better than others. I particularly enjoy the Kung Pao Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Green Pepper Chicken, and Cashew Chicken. My standard dish, though, is their Tso’s Chicken but done without the breading. This takes an average Tso’s Chicken, where the sauce is badly muddled by the taste of the breading, to a great dish in which the sauce really shines.
I do like their Hot & Sour soup and Crag Rangoon, and prefer them here to most places. The Hot & Sour is not done in a way that makes it overly dark, which I assume comes from lots of soy, and that’s a big bonus for me. And though I’m not a huge fan of either no matter where I go, the Egg Rolls and Egg Drop soup are decent here.
Lunch portions make a decent sized meal and come with soup and a couple Crab Rangoons. For the price, it’s a great deal. Dinner portions are larger and usually make a couple meals for me, which keeps them as a good deal, too.
When you consider speed of service, price, and the overall quality (and consistency) of the food, you can’t go wrong with Golden Wok if you’re in the mood for Chinese.

Pretty dang good! It’s in the top 3 for my favorite Chinese in Lincoln along with Shen Café and Mr. Hui’s. It’s close to my work so I may come here more often.
The décor inside is typical sit-​down Chinese restaurant. The food is reasonably priced with generous portions. The service is friendly and the restaurant wasn’t too loud or anything. The only thing that kept it from getting 5 stars was the lack of a wow factor.
Sorry this is kind of a boring review, but overall this place is a really solid choice to get Chinese food in Lincoln.

The food was not very good the price was quite high and the delivery service lacked a lot to be desired. We won’t be coming back…

Recently was looking for someplace new for Chinese. So I searched Unilocal and found this little hole in the wall which is somewhat near my home. I brought the family in and found the menu to be extensive so that everyone was able to find something they liked. I was especially pleased that they were one of the very few restaurants in town to have shrimp toast as an appetizer. One of my favorites.
We ordered a double order of crab rangoon, and a single order of shrip toast for myself. I ordered the Triple Delight, a mixture of Shrimp, Beef, and Chicken in a brown sauce with broccoli. It was very good. Not the best I have ever had, but it was certainly worth the money. The portion was large, and all of the ingredients were fresh. It was similar for my family. Large portions and good food.
The hot and sour soup was excellent. I even found a tiny shrimp in it, which was a first for me. Don’t know if that was an accident, or if it was supposed to be there.
The biggest disappointment was the crab rangoon. This is a BIG downer for me, and the reason I am only giving 4 stars. They should have called it Sour Cream Rangoon as the crab was non-​existant and I did not enjoy it. It was very similar to what you would find at Hy-​Vee chinese.
So I am stuck in a quandry. Do I go back for the large portions and the shrimp toast which is as good as any place I have every had. Or do I avoid because the family favorite of Crab Rangoon was poor. Further investigation may be necessary. I see they have free delivery, so I may have to give that a try.
The décor in the restaurant itself was very stereotypical of a Chinese restaurant and that was exactly what I wanted. Right down to the Chinese New Year placemats and complimentary hot tea.
I see no reason to avoid this place unless you, like me, prefer crab in your rangoon.

I absolutely love the food here! I am not very adventurous and usually get the sweet and sour chicken or the cashew chicken, which both come with crab rangoon. Both meals are consistently hot, fresh, and tasty. The ordering process is fast and the staff is friendly. You get quite a bit for your money and if you don’t want to go to them, their deilvery area must be fairly large, because I’ve had it delivered before and I don’t live that close. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Wow! I’m astonished by the quality of the food here. I’m from California, so there are lots of great quality Chinese food in the area. I never thought I would find one in Linoln, NE. The food is not salty and the staff is friendly. No recyling of left over food here. Dishes comes in a timely manner and I actually likes the Chinese accents of the waitress. Adds cuteness to a Chinese restaurant.

Cheap and fast.
So fast I didn’t know what to do with the rest of my lunch break.
Check out their motto on the front of the menu, it’s lengthy and uses made up words. Props to them.

Golden Wok is a favorite. Family owned & operated, I am always happy to spend my money knowing I am supporting a local business.
PROS
Lunch & dinner specials are fantastic. Food portions & quality are excellent for affordable prices. Dining area is clean & pleasant. Drive thru. Delivery. Open until 10:00 pm.
CONS
Wait staff’s accent, I have noticed amongst other customers, can sometimes make special requests a little bit more time consuming.
CONCLUSION
Highly recommended. As you become a regular, you will begin to recognize other regulars, as well.

I’m always satisfied when I eat here.
They offer large portions, good lunch specials, & complete dinner combos. I like to get soup & appetizers with my meal & they give you the option to add them to your entrée for a fair price.
Good family run service.
One of the few reliable Chinese restaurants in town!

Always been my favorite Chinese restaurant. Their lunch specials that they run are very cheap with big portions. My favorite is the Hot Braised Pork and Princess Beef, both extra spicy.

This is my favorite place for cheap eats and the added convenience of a drive thru window. Their lunch menu is cheap and filling. Tso’s Chicken is good and I like a lot of their tofu dishes. For dinner I like to order their Shrimp with Golden Tile, a great shrimp and fried tofu combo. Alas, you can’t order this item at the drive thru but you can always call in your order for pickup or delivery. Their pan fried dumplings are a wonderful appetizer and their hot and sour soup is good too.
