Always a great experience here! I generally come here with my mom for special occasions and we get the same things (Orchid Chicken and Garlic & Ginger). Each time we've had consistently great food and warm, positive service. Emily, Emma, & Jake were excellent examples of professional service you don't see nowadays from the meal we just had. The one complaint I have is that the Diet Coke is rather flavorless/bland, but their curated cocktail menu looks absolutely well-done! Can't wait for the next birthday or other occasion! :)

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for over a year. We always come back because of how much we love the food and how nice and professional the whole staff is. If you enjoy a nice, professional but easy going ambiance, this is the place to be. We always celebrate our big occasions here.

Not real easy to find but we did. And my lucky day, as the owner is actually here and will do their dinner selections for lunch...only today our waiter says!! Wow cool. So Pacific Medley is requested. Spring Rolls we are sharing and B is doing the Asian Delight Spring Roll is quite different than we have had. I really like this way. Pacific Medley was simply wonderful. Definitely a 'Best Of' Lincoln food experience.

Nice place and pretty good food! I love trying new local spots. This one I'd heard a lot about bc everyone raves about it. I like Thai food but there aren't too many Thai spots around. I like authentic and also to try new things. The atmosphere is very neat. It's located in one of Lincoln's most historic buildings the site of the old original courthouse. There's even a sushi place, salon, and apartments/condos. I was impressed by the layout. The service was good and food was pretty good too. No major complaints or issues. I had pad Thai with beef which was thinly sliced. It and the tofu were a tad overdone tbh. I liked the peanuts and sauce with the noodle's though very addicting. The blue water glasses are a signature thing along the blue lights around the restaurant and bamboo which is pretty neat. A good date spot and I'd probably come back again to try something else sometime! Their cocktails also looked good but I wasn't in the mood for one. :)
