About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
A little about Issara Issara (it-sah-rah) means “freedom” in Thai, and Issara takes pride in enjoying the freedom of life and, of course, excellent, pan-asian dishes. The owners and managers of Blue Orchid of Lincoln, NE, started Issara wanting to expand their Asian flavors beyond just Thai, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean. We hope you come and enjoy these rare and delicious flavors with us!

    Excellent food and service. The Penang curry, Thai basil duck and pad Thai were outstanding. Loved the Tuna Tartar Duck roll and karaoke appetizers. This is our go to place for Thai cuisine.

    We had reservations on Valentine’s Day and it was as if they weren’t planning on anyone showing up. They were completely overwhelmed. Took us 10 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge our presence and then 15 more minutes to get our table, again we had reservations. Then it was several minutes to get waited on. And a full hour to get our food. We never did get one of our appetizers and my entrée was cold. After sending it back to warm it up it was still cold. That being said… Even cold it was extremely good food. Best calamari I ever had, Although my shrimp was a little tough. So all in all, I was pretty disappointed.

    Had reservation, as it was Valentines Day. We were promptly seated, but waited 30 minutes to get noticed (we actually grabbed a nearby waiter who was helping the table next to us) and to place a drink order. Waited another 30 minutes to get the drinks. As it was taking forever, we had ordered food with the drinks, but did not get our order for another 30 minutes. When we did receive our food, it was lukewarm, as if it had been sitting there for a while. We would have complained, but our waiter was nowhere to be found. We realize it was Valentines Day, but all the tables around us were being served, and those who were seated well after us were long-gone before we even had our order! We have always had good food here; just very disappointed.

    We arrived on time for our reservation and we were seated right away however 35 minutes later, not one waiter asked if we wanted drinks or to take our order. I asked the host if he could send our wait person over and he said yes. No one ever came to the table.

    We had a lovely, relaxing dinner and wine with friends on Saturday evening. Staff was attentive but not overbearing. The food was delicious. It was quiet enough for all of us to enjoy our conversation.
