When I heard that Hy-Vee was opening a sushi bar I was quite surprised. I only thought of Hy-Vee as a place for groceries, but I decided to check out their new sushi bar and was pleasantly surprised. You can definitely taste that the sushi is made and served fresh daily. It’s also one of the closest sushi options to LSW and is easily affordable on a high school student’s budget. I would definitely recommend any sushi fan to give it a shot!
Kurry Xpress
Atmosphere: Not much space but really inviting
Taste: 5/5
Dietary Accommodations: Vegetarian options
Recommendation: Chicken Pepper Fry (spicy) with Butter Naan
Would I go again? Definitely! You could say I’m a regular

Since I eat Indian food everyday at home my standards for Indian food are high. When I saw a new restaurant called Kurry Xpress I was skeptical, but still curious enough to check it out and I am beyond glad that I did. Kurry Xpress offers a variety of Indian dishes, but specializes in South Indian food. Kurry Xpress is also a franchise with other locations in Omaha and Iowa. Kurry Xpress is always worth it if you’re craving a spicy bite to eat.
Shen Cafe
Atmosphere: Lots of space to sit and dine in very modern
Taste: 3.5/5
Dietary Accommodations: Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options
Recommendation: Honey Sesame Chicken with Fried Rice
Would I go again? Yes, it’s a great for someone with dietary restrictions.
Location: 3520 Village Dr #100, Lincoln, NE 68516
Shen Cafe has been present in the Lincoln community for many years. However, I have just recently visited and found an appreciation for it. Shen Cafe takes regular Chinese take out food to the next level. By allowing you to create custom Shen bowls, Shen Cafe creates a similar dining experience to Chipotle by allowing you to chose what is put into your meal. In addition to this, Shen Cafe is an extremely friendly option for those who are gluten free or vegetarian. Unlike most restaurants that have only one option for gluten free or vegetarian individuals, Shen Cafe can make almost any meal on the menu gluten free or vegetarian creating a variety of things to chose from for people with dietary restrictions.
