I also tried the Vietnamese Restaurant. It was a comfortable little place. It almost reminded me of some spot in Minneapolis on Nicollet. I haven't had anything but a bahn mi sandwich. It was alright...I had really been craving one. I just wished it would have had some hot peppers on it and it also had some sort of creamy sauce on it, which wasn't the best...but the bread and pork were both good.

I also thought I might add a restaurant down in the Old Market that I tried for the first time...an Italian place called Nicola's (13th and Jackson). The food and atmosphere were both good. One person had a spaghetti aglio e olio with kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, etc. that looked and tasted good.

Has anyone been to Kimson Seafood for vietnamese food (78th and Cass)? I have been there a couple of times now and think their food stands up pretty well. They have a lot of the standard dishes, like pho, rice noodle dishes, etc. I would recommend giving this a try if you like Vietnamese food.

A little off the subject of restaurant recommendations for Omaha, but has anyone from the area read the restaurant reviews in the local paper? I was suprised at how absolutely horrible those reviews are...they look more like an opportunity for a guy to get a free meal for his wife and kids. I couldn't tell if the guy was critiquing the place or just writing a short advertisement.

I tried Pasta Amore and I really didn't like the pasta that much...I had gnocchi with marinara. The gnocchi was good enough but the sauce tasted curiously like Ragu. Is Lo Sole Mio more of the same, or is it better. I have heard it recommended before, but I was a little hesitant after Pasta Amore.

I'm really a big fan of a broad array of food types(anything asian, italian). I tend to stay away from steak restaurants, etc. However, I'm searching for a good burger place and I also haven't found any good Mexican restaurants (not tex-mex). Does anyone have any Japanese/sushi favorites? I have been to, and liked, La Casa, Marks, Espana and Taste. Thanks for the suggestions so far...

I just recently moved to the Omaha area from Minneapolis, and I'm wondering if anyone has any good restaurant tips. Omaha seems to have cornered the market on chains...I'm looking for some good, independent restaurants. Thanks for the help
