China Bowl

Really missed the mark today, with food quality falling far below an average buffet.

The Lo Mein was a gummy, flavorless, glob of noodles. Highly reminiscent of reheated HyVee lo mein in both the type of noodles and the sticky consistency. Coincidence that they are in the same building?

The black pepper chicken is not what I expected, not lightly coated and fried, just typical sliced chicken pieces cooked and tossed in a brown pepper sauce. While not amazing, it was at least hot and edible, which is appreciated for a $20 dollar carryout entree.

My wife is from the east coast and knows good Chinese. This is the only spot in west Omaha that really impressed her. My meal was also fabulous. I asked for them to make my dish extra spicy and the cook did amazing at a sufficient level of heat for my more extreme palet. All ingredients were fresh and plentiful, and the flavors were all present. Priced very well for the quality, very happy to find a place that doesn't require us to drive across town for good Chinese fare.

I guess I’ll never find Chinese food as great as Chicago’s. I asked if they had Cantonese Fried Noodles, they said yes and I got your basic Lo Mein and it wasn’t even very good. I also ordered Mongolian Beef. It bore no resemblance to the Mongolian Beef I know, other than it contained beef. Egg roll was super greasy and they did not include hot mustard. Being new to Omaha, I am on a quest to find good Chinese food.

Was our favorite Chinese food place, but might have to find something new definitely going down hill. Foods good, quantity of food leaves a lot to be desired now and the fried rice that comes with the food is subpar at best. It was great while it last!

One of our favorite Chinese restaurants. The food is always so fresh and delicious. Compared to the many other Chinese restaurants we frequent, China Bowl just tastes the best and we keep coming back to them the most. I don't know what it is, there food is always delicious - they must cook with more love than all the other places 😄. The family and staff are always polite and friendly and we have never had an issue with any order. They are only doing carryout right now due to the pandemic, no delivery either, which isn't an issue with us, we don't mind driving there to pick up food.

Sesame Chicken is delicious. Couldnt resist but digging in immediately. Tastes fresh and not overly sweet, which is huge. They made it 30 minutes after I called, so when i picked up would be fresh and hot, and it sure is!
My wifes Orange chicken was delicious, too. We're simple and didnt feel like exploring their other options this time, but we definitely will come back!

Update 2023...I think of this place often. The food is genuinely authentic, while that does not say a lot but what does is the family atmosphere. The daughters that I have seen grow up over the last 10 years. I highly recommend going in and sitting at a table to eat.

Family run restaurant that is friendly and FAST. I cannot begin to say enough how much of a hidden gem this place is. Good food for a great price and the owners kids that work the front have always been very helpful and send you off with a great "Have a nice day" that I always look forward to. I highly recommend the place....
