 Sheen, owner of the now closed First Wok Chinese Restaurant, will
be opening a new restaurant in that same location, probably some
time in March 2015, according to sources close to the situation.
First Wok was widely known for its consistently excellent Chinese
cuisine, along with great service and its congenial hosts, Bruce &
Carrie Sheen, who made everyone feel like family.
First Wok had been a family operation for 22 years, with cousins,
brothers and sisters, husbands and wives and children participating
in the daily operations. Bruce and Carrie Sheen were partners along
with his cousin, chef Chi.
All the family members except Bruce and Carrie recently left First Wok
to start a new Chinese restaurant in the old Asian Buffet location
in the Rent-A-Center plaza. It is not yet known which restaurant, if
any, will retain the “First Wok” name. There is no news regarding an
opening date for the restaurant in the Asian Buffet location.
Sheen has hired his friend, who will be relocating here from
Nebraska, as the new chef. Sources close to the situation are saying
that the new chef formerly
cooked in a Chinese restaurant in Aspen Colorado, and is
expected to arrive around Feb 7th.

Sheen’s new restaurant, still nameless, will be remodeled
with new carpeting and wall paper, and all new kitchen
equipment.
The result may be that Lincoln will be the host to two Chinese
restaurants with excellent food.
