Taste Of China - ia City

My family member from NY swears by the food here, saying it is like NY Chinese. This is one of those hole in the wall places that end up being a treasure. The portions are huge and seem to never end. I can eat a lot and their large portions end up being 2-3 meals. I'd recommend chicken lo mein and egg rolls!!

Atmosphere and everything else aside, the flavor and portion size of the food cannot be complained about in any capacity. The price is steep if buying 2 dishes, but sharing one dish is possible due to the size of the platter. Now onto everything else, the atmosphere is pretty terrible. It the windows look like 1,000 dirty children stuck their fingers everywhere they could. It has one of those bathrooms, where you're not sure if using the sink will make your hands cleaner or dirtier. The reviews about the flies are true, and I would suggest bringing a partner to shew them away from your face and you do the same for them. Wouldn't bring any small children, as they might see 2 flies romping on the table next to yours......that aside.....the food was pretty good. Pictured is the sesame chicken, $10.55

This restaurant was near my hotel, so thought I'd try it. It has a real Chinese menu with pig intestines, etc. Ewww. It has an extensize Sechuan menu with spicy dishes. I ordered the chicken with broccoli and egg drop soup, and they were delicious at a low price. Service was good and attentive. The one thing that bothered me was the tv was blaring videos super loud, so you couldn't ignore it. It made the restaurant seem really tacky. If someone was with me, I would have had a hard time talking to them because of the noise. I prefer restaurants where just some music is playing, so I probably wouldn't go back.

I like this restaurant it is good . The noodles are good . Chicken is good to and I like the jalapenos .

Tasty meal at good price. Had chicken broccoli with rice and hot tea for $6.50. Nothing fancy or quick and reliable. Lots of take out it seems, but eating in works too.
