Food is halfway decent, but not the greatest and I like to charge extra if you want rice and it should come with the meal read more

Beijing Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Most flavorful food I've had in a long time! I had the Kung Po Chicken. You could tell the vegetables were fresh.

Always a dependable local restaurant, Beijing is a good local restaurant. Nothing fancy but

The shrimp fried rice was great remind me of the Chinese restaurant that used to be out there on sixth Street and 33rd but the crab raccoons pass. They were overcooked but I will eat there again. read more

We have been going here for over 20 years. It is one of our favorite places when we want a great sit down meal, without feeling like we have to be dressed up. It's a comfortable, family atmosphere, with wonderful service. But the food...OMG...the food is always amazing! Veggies are always done to perfection and meals are served piping hot and fresh. No food from a steamtable here, everything is fresh! Try the sizzling rice soup, it's our favorite!! read more

It was bad. I ordered a bowl of Hot n Sour soup and it was so thick and salty it was awful. $8.50 for a bowl yikes. The crab Rangoon sauce was thick and gross. The noodles for the hot n sour soup. stale n old I won't be back read more

I've been going here since I was very little. This has always been my favorite Chinese hotspot for food! I'm obsessed with their crab Rangoon's and sweet and sour chicken. If and when I get sick I always order some egg drop soup for pick up as well. The service is amazing as well, I get treated like family every time I go. read more

Used to be one of my favorites on the Westside. Maybe I was there on an off night. The rice was regular white rice and was under cooked. My General Tao's chicken was soggy, sweet and definitely not spicy. Just meat, no veggie and skimpy on sauce. The Beef Lo Mein was just okay, again not much sauce, a few veggies but a good amount of beef. The Lo Mein sauce was underwhelming and lacked of flavor. These are both dishes I've ordered from Beijing many times over the past 30 years. I ordered eggrolls also just OK and the crab Rangoons were awful. They shouldn't call them crab meat rangoon's tasted like a block of cream cheese in a wrapper and fried. I opened one up and didn't see anything beside cream cheese - no green onion or crab. I threw away 5 1/2 Rangoons in the trash. Will I go back, of course, i've been going there since the 90s and this is the first time the food has been so terrible. I actually don't remember a time the food was even mediocre. The restaurant looks clean and the staff is friendly. They also give a 4% discount for paying with cash instead of the normal charge it a 4% fee for using a card. read more

Asked for extra pork for a charge and I actually got a noticeable amount of extra pork. Everything was in the takeout bag without having to ask. Service was good and food was good. read more

I keep coming back because I enjoy the food and the price is reasonable too. The menu offers good variety and the portions are generous. I find the service and food is always prompt. This is not a big facility but I don't have to wait in line. It is always clean and the waiters are attentive. I notice they have pretty active take out and delivery orders. I like it! read more

One of the best Chinese spots in town! Won't say the service is exactly the best, but the food is always amazing! Plus they deliver, so just skip the service and you're set! read more

I'm not sure what to say. The food is good. The servings are generous. We generally go for Sunday noon lunch. I ask them to keep the soup or I couldn't finish my meal. The prices are RESONABLE and I'm a cheapskate. The people are always helpful and the place is clean. I don't know what else a person could want in a small neighborhood, Chinese Restaurant. Try it sometime but not Sunday for lunch, I don't want to be behind you in line. :o) Keep up the good work crew. oldbuck, Cedar Rapids, IA. read more

Good little Chinese restaurant off of Edgewood Road. Good place. Random observation #1: Everybody that I've seen working at this Chinese restaurant is Mexican. Random observation #2: These Mexicans can cook the heck out of some Chinese food. read more

wow! Pleasant surprise. I had never been here and was scared to try out a new Chinese place. I will definitely be back. the price is amazing, they included tea with the dinner. the gentleman was nice. $19.75 for two and it's some of the best Chinese food I've had in the Cedar Rapids area. I would highly recommend dine-in. read more

See all

Maybe it's just growing up with this place, but it's my top choice for Chinese food in Cedar Rapids. I went here for my birthday dinner for like 18 years and it's still great to come home and stop by for lunch or dinner. They also are super efficient about take out. read more

My boyfriend and I recently moved to Cedar Rapids and been looking for a good Chinese Restaurant. This place exceeded our expectations!

Beijing was one of the original tenants of Edgewood Plaza when it opened nearly 30 years ago. We used to come here often when we first moved to town and I forgot they were still here. The interior hasn't changed much from what I recall but the ownership appears to have changed. I made my first visit in decades last month and a second today. I had the Garlic Shrimp the first time and was not impressed, quite bland and under seasoned. I thought I'd give it another try and had the General Tzo chicken today. Although it was prepared a little differently than I'm accustomed to, it was flavorful. The lunch specials are around $7 and include an egg roll and soup. Not in my top 5 choices for Asian in the area but it's OK. With so many good options in the area now, I probably won't become a regular again. read more

Beijing Chinese Restaurant - General Tzo Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

We made the mistake of trying this place again last night. At 6:30pm Friday night it had only one other table of people when we arrived. It filled up soon after. Everyone who came in up 30 minutes after us received their food. The people in the booth behind came in after us, ordered, ate and left before we even received our food. Their were four of us: two ordered entrees and two shared a soup order. We were very clear that the soup was our meal and please bring it out together. 30 minutes later the soup arrived, then 45 after ordering the entree's rice arrived. A full hour after ordering one entree arrived. 10 minutes later we asked about the other entree - "We are working on it" another 5 minutes and surprise ! It arrived. The soup dishes sat there a full hour after we finished as two of us sat wait for the other to two eat. Awful service and just so-so food. read more

This is the only place my husband will get Chinese from and I can see why! Everytime we've ordered our food has been great. We tend to order for takeout so I can't comment on three restaurant experience but they are pleasant and friendly when we call to order and when we pick up. read more

Worse experience ever!!! We waited over 5 mins for staff. We barely got any rice. We didn't get offered drinks. We constantly had to get up and go to the waitress if we needed something. When we asked for the check she didn't even come to pick it up. We left the money on the table and walked out. Horrible experience and never going back. read more

Usually pretty good although the service can leave some to be desired. Ordering a soda results in a can of pop, not that uncommon for a smaller Chinese restaurant, but not common when they have a wait staff. Never busy so you can usually get in very quickly. read more

Best Chinese resturant I've ever had! I definitely recommend it to anyone they prepare very fast and have amazing food, they also give a generous portion read more

Been going here since I was little, never been disappointed. Eggs rolls are the best in town, hot braised chicken is my recommendation. Friendly staff, quality food, affordable prices. read more

I made one request with my order. Steamed rice instead of fried rice. Got home and found my meal had fried rice. I understand mistakes happen but I rarely get the chance to get Chinese takeout. If I don't think I can rely on your staff to get it right, I'm probably not going to risk it again. Sorry to make a mountain out of a molehill but I hate fried rice. read more

This is the best Chinese in town! Fast service, friendly staff and the food is always great! My family and I love this place!!

We always get good food and awesome service here. We have yet to order anything that wasn't delicious. The wait staff is attentive, and the food is out to you fast. The atmosphere is great, only strange thing is that the people running it are not oriental. read more

nastiest food ever! I think they served us last night's leftovers. They should be ashamed of themselves. they don't even deserve one star. I want my money back and they should pay me compensation. read more

We were uncomfortable as soon as we walked in the door because there was no staff for about five minutes and when the lady came out she didn't even greet us or say a word to us. She made hand gestures and we didn't quite understand so we just said we wanted a booth. There was one table that was seated at this point. We didn't expect like high speed service or anything but the table that was seated after us got their drinks and ordered before we did. We ordered a garlic chicken and two orders of sesame chicken. The chicken was bland and the soup that came with it had a fishy smell that you could taste. It's not the worst I've ever tasted but I wouldn't go there again. read more

Beijing is by far my favorite chinese restaurant in Cedar Rapids! The recipes are fabulous and have been the same for years and years. I have been coming to Beijing's for over 20 years and wish I lived nearer so I could go everyday! Best egg rolls, and crabmeat ragoons hands down! The hot braised chicken one of my favorites, the Mongolian beef, and lemon chicken are very good too, shoot it is all good! LOVE THIS CHINESE FOOD!!! read more

The rating reflects the food only. The customer service was excellent: the waitress was cordial and accommodating. The food, however, was awful: We had the Orange Chicken and Twice Cooked Chicken - portions weren't bad, but the dinner only came with a side of either white rice or 'lo mein'. The lo mein was literally just over-cooked noodles, plain. No seasoning or vegetables at all. The white rice was just minute rice, which is fine. The dinners were overly salty. The Orange Chicken had more breading than chicken, and the Twice Cooked Chicken felt lacking in meat. I'm not a food critic, but I know what Chinese food should taste like, and this tasted like someone with only a vague knowledge of American style Chinese food or cooking attempted to make these meals. I have no desire to eat here ever again. read more

I've eat at every chinese place in town and this is probably the best in town. I've eaten Beijing for almost 20 years. The food has always been consistantly great. I recommend their spring rolls and Lo Mein. Tings is a similar resturant. read more

Almost two hours for delivery, they sent the wrong order. We ordered sweat & sour chicken and shrimp with lobster sauce and ended up getting Mongolian beef and something that was pork and rice. The food tasted like dog food and when I called the guy, he was a complete jerk saying he's been in business for 10 years so he doesn't care and he hung up. Their website says $10 orders get free delivery, our order was over $20 and they charged a $3 delivery charge. The guy said someone must of put that on his website but he didn't so he wouldn't honor the free delivery. Will never waste my time or money with this place again! read more

Great Chinese. I'm not a big fan of Chinese usually because I find a lot of places greasy and low quality meats. Not here. I enjoyed each entree we ordered. I like they put a good variety of veggies in their dishes. read more

Not that different is usually bad, but everything I tried didn't taste like it should. I got broccoli and chicken once and it was just steamed broccoli and chicken...so sauce. The general tso's was also not good, my go to at a Chinese restaurant. My husband seemed to like it, though he only ever ordered sweet and sour chicken-pretty hard to mess up. read more
