Wind Chimes Chinese Restaurant, Lincoln, Nebraska Restaurant Details

Food:

I like coming here, its usually quiet, foods great, the 2 servers ive seen are both really friendly its mine and my family's favorite Chinese restaurant. I would definitely recommend it to anyone

Food:

The food is some of the better Chinese I've had in Lincoln. The beef lo-mien is great and the chicken wings that are on the appetizer menu are awesome, and I'm not really much of a wing guy.

The place is often near empty but the staff are friendly, but don't go here for the atmosphere. It's a good lunch or take out place, more than a nice dinner restaurant.

Food:

I was robbed! This was our first and last time going to this hell on earth. Imagine this... Ribs that where probably made a week ago left in the fridge and reheated but not all the way through. The ribs where cold in the middle. Very Dry. The service was horrible and the atmosphere was a little fountain with the lights turned off. My meal for two ended up to be 60 dollars with no tip but disappointment. This place may have been good ages ago but, now is yuck... yuck is all I have to say.

Food:

I stopped into Wind Chimes at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon to find the Dining Room dark and vacant and the server on the phone. He took our order in mid-conversation and handed us a ticket that was $10-$12 over what I had anticipated for dinner for two. The food was good; large portions of meat and tasty sauce. But I rate value, service and atmosphere over the taste of my General Tso.

Food:

The number of older reviews on here hearkens to a time when this eatery must have been pretty good. When we went, it was quite bad. When we went they were not busy. The establishment was only about 1/3 full at the most. The interior tries for an upscale look. This doesn't look like your typical chinese buffet or take out joint. There is a bar up front and table seating throughout. However, all is not what it seems. Upkeep was very poor. There was heavy build up of dirt behind fountains and other obstructions near the walls. The Men's bathroom went for a somewhat upscale look but clearly was not cleaned often. The garbage can was overflowing, there was no toilet paper, and the countertop was dirty. There was an artificial plant present that was so old it was dusty and deteriorating all over the counter. The women's room had no hand towels to dry your hands on. Again, this was during a slow period. Often poor exteriors only hint at the problems in the kitchen.

The food was very sub-par. Lincoln has many Chinese restaurants, but not a lot of great ones. However, this was the worst Chinese food we have had. One person at our table had cold food that was still cold after supposedly getting re-heated. The brown sauce in my dish was bland compared to other places. The vegetable dumpling appetizers we got were the one bright spot - they were both hot (unlike our entrees) and good. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to how they served people. Two tables were served before us that arrived after us and had more guests. Our dishes were not out of the ordinary. They were very good about keeping glasses of water full for about the first twenty minutes, and then suddenly stopped until the meal was almost completed. The food was expensive compared to almost all other Chinese restaurants in Lincoln, and not nearly as good - not even close - as say, Vincent's House of Hunan or even the fast food China Wall.

I gave them two stars only because the wait staff was friendly. Every other aspect of this restaurant was a major let down.
