Just phenomenal food! The kind of place where you want to try everything on the menu, but the first…read morething you try is so good you just want to get that over and over again. The Rasta wraps are my favorite. They're like the best burritos you've ever had. The kind of food fusion that makes you mad no one else has thought of this before. I can never decide between the fries and the plantains. Both are top notch. The Island Boy pasta is equally delicious. Getting both the jerk chicken and shrimp in the same pasta feels like the kind of generous serving you'd usually only get at home. Again, I want to try so many other things on the menu, but I can't peel myself away from my usuals!

First time trying, and decided to order for to-go. Got their jerk chicken, jerk pork poutine and…read moreplantains. I expected the fries in the poutine to be a bit soggy since i bought it for to-go, but the poutine is still very good regardless - they put a bit plantain, so it balances out the savoriness with a touch of sweetness. Their chicken is also good, but the rice is a bit hard (maybe that's just how they typically serve it). Overall, everything is great. Would definitely come back again.

I stopped by Rodney's for some Jamaican jerk chicken ( I got the burrito, although they also have a meal as well as jerk fries).

This has Been an on going issue so I'm hoping that this will appeal to him for more accurate hours of operation!

For appetizers the spring rolls and calamari are delicious. I'd also recommend the warm jasmine milk tea, a menu item I don't generally come across.

This is a friendly and chill place to enjoy a steaming bowl of pho noodle soup...with plenty to take home as the serving sizes are generous!

The best spring rolls ever and delicious savory dishes that are freshly prepared. Also in healthy amounts... (I have yet to leave without a take home box). A feature that is especially unique is they serve a variety of dishes from China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia! They state if a dish is gluten free, vegan, vegetarian... it is easy to track any allergens. The food is not the only lovely feature. The waiter and waitress are warm, friendly, and welcoming! ... very sensitive to your table needs. I really enjoy this calming and caring feeling I have in going there.

Oryza Asian Cuisine was fine, but definitely not a spot I'm racing back to. The vibe, though, is…read moregreat--cozy booths, a nice bar setup, plenty of tables, and even a big fish tank with a little turtle doing its thing. The bartender/waitress was a total standout: super friendly, super attentive, and honestly the best part of the experience. Our drinks, a Long Island and a vodka Sprite, were both solid and hit the spot. The food was good, not amazing. I ordered the mushroom stir fry, and my guest went with the Thai basil plate. The real surprise was finding a random bone in the Thai dish--about the size of a nickel and half an inch tall--which definitely knocked the food score down. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, but next time I'm in Iowa City, I'll probably be checking out a different Chinese restaurant.

The pulled pork sandwich I had was possibly the best ever, and their root beer flavored BBQ sauce is "to die for"! The catered food for our family reunion was just as good, if not better. The brisket and chicken were amazing. Also, I'm not a big corn bread guy but I knew my family would want corn bread so we had that included. Let's just say, if all corn bread tasted as good as Pop's, I might eat more corn bread. If you're in the Iowa City area, do yourself a favor and stop at Pop's!

Good crowd, good music, and just an overall vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The food is solid too. Quality is there, portions are right, and everything comes out the way it should. It's not just about the drinks and the scene, they back it up with good food.
