Where Should We Get Asian Food?

We're feeling a bit adventurous this week! Help us decide which Asian cuisine we should test this week.

Banhwich Cafe

With 17 different styles sandwiches from Chinese to Thai, Vietnamese to Korean, Banhwich Cafe is sure to have something for everyone. Though it is a small specialty cafe, the prices are reasonable. Banhwich Cafe is located on 26th and W Streets, situated between UNL's City Campus and East Campus, minutes from both locations.

Issara

Although Blue Orchid isn't on the menu for this week, Issara Modern Asian Cuisine came about from the same managers and owners. Issara offers tastes of Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Issara is only open during meal times and closes each afternoon from 2 until 4:30 when it reopens for dinner. Their happy hour is from 4:30-6, a great way to try many types of food for a lesser cost.

Kinja

Located on the corner of 70th and Pioneers, Kinja is a bit of a drive from campus, though for some great sushi, it is worth the drive. With fantastic lunch-time specials, Kinja is a great alternative away from the two sushi options in the Haymarket.

Shen Cafe

Shen Cafe was started back in 2013 and features fresh ingredients served in a fast-casual environment. Strictly a Chinese restaurant, Shen Cafe is located at 34th and Old Cheney, in the Williamsburg Village. Even though it was closed on Tuesdays for a short time, the restaurant is now open 7 days a week thanks to popular demand.

Amu Manu Ramen Bar

The only item on our list this week that is located downtown, Amu Manu Ramen Bar, is a new edition to Downtown Lincoln. It opened in 2014 and has been a success so far. Rather than offering the typical cheap "college food" that the name "ramen" suggests, Amu Manu creates artwork around the Asian noodles.
