In a change from a year ago, it's just white rice and no egg roll included with this dish. The Mongolian beef wasn't as flavorful as we remembered it. The portion was large and we were able to bring home quite a bit. Adding soy sauce did add flavor to it. The egg rolls were good. I love their hot mustard. This must be a trend in Chinese restaurants, but you can no longer get a glass of water. You have to buy a bottle. Seems a little strange. The people were pleasant

I went just before 8 pm on a Thursday night and was the only dine-in customer. There were some people standing outside talking, but other than a couple of carry-out customers there weren't many people there. The seating area was immaculate and they let me sit wherever I wanted. The server brought me a menu immediately. I ordered Mongolian beef. Meals come with rice, soup, and a spring roll. I ordered the egg drop soup and friend rice. The soup and spring roll came out almost immediately. I noticed that the soup wasn't just egg. There were actually pieces of carrots and celery in it, and it wasn't too salty like a lot of restaurant soups are. The spring roll had a crisp, flaky crust. I was so glad it wasn't soggy with oil. The main dish came out before I could finish my soup and before I could even touch the spring roll. The beef had a good flavor, and best of all it was not drowning in oil or some kind of sauce. I appreciated the food and the good service. I plan to come back soon and bring some more people with me.

I would never want to be the reason somebody has to continue serving after closing time! We ordered chicken with mushrooms, Mongolian beef, and fried rice. We paid less than $40! We were told to expect 10-15 minutes wait because everything is made fresh. 12 minutes later our food was ready to go. The restaurant is clean and decorated like any other middle American Chinese restaurant. The ladies restroom was exceptionally clean. Watching the fish in the fish tanks passes the time nicely but I would have appreciated a label saying what kind of fish they are. One tank says "his name is Mushroom" which is very appropriate for the shape of the fish! We had a very short drive to our hotel and the car smelled amazing. The fried rice was perfect, absolutely perfect! It was perfectly cooked, tender but separate grains of buttery well seasoned rice with super sweet peas. Excellent flavor! The chicken with mushrooms was exactly what my Mama was hoping for. The Mongolian beef was very tender and saucy but not at all spicy. This is my only complaint... don't show me a spicy red pepper on the menu and then give me a dish with no spice! Don't get me wrong, the dish is delicious! It's just NOT SPICY! I wanted some heat on my meat!

When I walked in I learned it was a buffet, not particularly what I was looking for, but I since I was there I decided to roll the dice. Limited offering on the Hot Line, but also a Salad Line and some deserts. Started with the egg drop soup, it was average but nice and hot. Mein looked like it had been there all day, so I passed on one of my favorites. Lots of fried foods dripping in oil. The sesame chicken was the best hot dish, along with the black pepper chicken they were the only thing worth mentioning, or eating. I asked for Oolong tea and received a cup of "dark tea" not sure what it was but for sure it wasn't Oolong and too dark for green tea. The place was old and showing wear, probably could have used a good power washing of the entire interior. Staff was friend and relative attentive. Total tab was $10.90, so I sure can't complain about the prices. But I doubt this will receive a return trip when I'm in Marshalltown. But on a Monday night...

The café is positioned in an old historical building. It makes great use of the space. We like the seating arrangement and found a booth style seating we really enjoyed. The music isn't too loud but lends to the mood. There's a kind young man who's been there the last several times. He's so respectful and attentive to the customers. Their menu is newer looking than the last time we were in and it looks really good. I always enjoy their pad Thai or their drunken noodles. Wifey got a taro milk tea today and it was the best ever. We also had lettuce wraps with chicken for an appetizer. It tasted so bright and so fresh! She's also kind of addicted to the yellow curry soup and you can see why. It's so good and comforting. We highly recommend coming here!!

The spring rolls were the longest and fullest I've ever had and the sauce served with it was so good I put it on my egg rolls, too!
