Monthly Bites: Lets Talk Food

MONTHLY BITES Let’s talk food

Mr. Huis Food Review

This month’s pick by Jen Gruber: a mission to find the best mongolian beef in town.

Mongolian Beef. It’s one of my top two go-tos at any quick turn Chinese restaurant. Unlike sweet & sour chicken, I’ve found this dish’s sauce and composition can vary widely at restaurants. I’m always on the hunt for “the best version in Lincoln and guys – I may well have found it at Mr. Huis 2.

If you need to take a pause and show concern that I’ve somehow developed a hobby of critiquing this, feel free :)

Before I get to the food, I have to let you in on the fact that lunch on/ near Pioneers is usually pretty busy. This hasn’t been the case at Mr. Huis. Service for sit down or to-go has always been swift and the food remarkably fresh. So if you need to make a quick stop – it’s a great option to consider. It’s pretty spacious with several private dining nooks which offers a great place to meet clients or get work done while you munch.

Now onto the food. I decided to be selfless for the sake of this review and forced myself to order a small Crab Rangoon to try along with my main dish. It was amazing. It had a generous amount of crab and had a thinner crisp wanton. So although it was fried – it wasn’t as greasy as some from other local joints. Onto the main course, Mongolian beef was superb. The sauce leaned more sweet than spicy, and the flavors and food were extremely fresh. The beef practically melts in your mouth and it comes with a good amount of veggies so you can pretend you are eating somewhat healthy. Serving sizes are large, so it’s a great option to share or to pack for a meal the next day.

All in all my experience and the food was great. I will definitely have a hard time topping the taste of the Mongolian beef dish anywhere else in Lincoln.
