Geoff and I heard that a local restaurant was serving dim sum now, so we went to check it out for lunch today. Unfortunately, their weekday lunch dim sum menu is limited. Worse yet, right now, they don’t actually have a printed menu. So if you don’t know the exact name of what you want, you can’t get it. I asked for steamed pork buns (as it turns out this is called Char Siu Bao) and I got seafood sui mai instead. They were good, though, and the price wasn’t bad - $5.50 for 8 total (4 each.)
So for lunch we stuck to the lunch specials- I got almond chicken, Geoff got sesame chicken. The almond chicken was so/so, but they put peas in it, which I have never seen in almond chicken. Geoff said the sesame chicken was the best he’d had in Lincoln - not saying a whole lot, but it’s something. The lunch specials run about $5.50 and include soup AND salad, rice, an eggroll, and crab rangoon. It is quite a lot of food.
Peking Palace (84th and O) won’t be displacing our favorite place (Golden Wok) for regular Chinese food, but we’ll definitely go back on the weekend to sample the dim sum.
