Our guide to Chinese restaurants in Lincoln

Chinese restaurants in the US range from American-Chinese takeout counters – General Tso’s chicken, lo mein, egg rolls – to restaurants specializing in regional Chinese cooking: fiery Sichuan, Cantonese dim sum and roast meats, Hunan, Shanghainese soup dumplings, Taiwanese beef noodle soup and Dongbei dumplings.

Larger restaurants sometimes keep two menus: one with familiar American-Chinese dishes and a second, more traditional menu. If you are curious, ask for it. Family-style ordering – several dishes shared around the table with rice – is the norm and the best way to eat.
