    Shrimp pho

    Service was excellent, food fresh and tasty (grandson not a fan of the fish that came with the fish & chips). Reasonable prices, friendly owners, asset to the neighborhood and the community.

    Yellow Curry (did not order this...?)

    Based on the positive reviews and a few friends' recommendations, we ventured out to Cross Roads Bistro on a whim one rainy night and weren't at all impressed. The tiny parking lot was packed. Upon entering the restaurant, about half the tables were occupied while the rest were piled high with dirty dishes and clutter. The number of patrons dropped substantially while we were here, the dishes did not. There appeared to be two servers on shift. Ours was a total trip, y'all. Ordering was chaotic and confusing because she clearly was not familiar with the admittedly expansive menu, but on top of that she was spouting off total nonsense - our friend asked for his burger medium and she told him they only come in one size (...?!?) Skipping ahead to food actually coming to the table, it took 4 tries to actually get everything out correctly. I was served something I did not order and honestly thought she misunderstood me somehow, then she swapped it out with what I did order and served the first dish to another table (EEW!) The side orders came much later than the entrees and the condiments took her two tries to get right. We were shocked when she split our check appropriately without being asked. Between the four of us that evening, we ordered from a few parts of the menu to get an idea of what was up. My fiancé was pleased with his fried rice, but I was pretty underwhelmed by their beloved Evil Jungle Prince curry. It had no flavor and sat on an overwhelming portion of cabbage. The American food was totally frozen/premade that they heated up - bets on Bubba burgers. The table consensus was meh. Pricing is affordable for average portions. Everything was edible, but not particularly enjoyable. One of our friends had been here before and I don't think it measured up to his memories either. He did mention his previous visits were for breakfast, maybe that makes a difference. We might come back to try that, but it won't be for a while.

    Massaman Steak

    Cross Roads Bistro is not your typical Asian restaurant, they have one of the biggest menus I have seen including an entire western foods menu. I had a tough time choosing what to get but settled on the massaman steak and pot stickers while my best friend got the chicken and eggplant and Kani salad. We both asked for extra spicy and were sadly disappointed when neither of our entrees even struck us as mildly spicy, but we do in fairness have pretty high spice tolerance. The pot stickers tasted pretty similar to what you might expect from frozen and thrown in oil dumplings and the Kani salad was also kind of disappointing and soggy. The entrees despite being sadly mild both provided excellent flavors and were very decently proportioned. I'd definitely recommend if you come here for the first time you try the chicken egg plant because it definitely was the highlight of the meal. We will definitely return and try more of the expansive menu and just explain next time that when we say extra spicy we mean, "would put most people on the floor"

    What do I want in a restaurant I need to eat eggs I need pancakes I need Asian food I need fresh and juicy burgers. All right that's everything for throughout the day.... this restaurant has it all. Like Everything under one roof. And guess what everything taste exactly what you will expect. The cook is great in cooking. I have been to this place multiple times past couple of months. I love their Evil jungle chicken in both lunch as well as the dinner portion. My wife usually gets one vegetarian roll and red curry. I feel dumb to ask for more curry but trust me they don't give you a good amount of curry. You can buy for $2. Which I feel is a lot considering the dinner portion is huge. May be they increase the cost of the curry and not charge extra. But any who, I go back there again and again. Also another Thing I don't like is the curry needs a sealed container but they are cheap and don't give you a good to go containers but if you're dining in its nice and recommended. I will go back there anyways its a good restaurant on SW side. Also it used to be Thai moon

    I ordered some Thai food for takeout today and it was DELICIOUS! I'm glad they still make their Asian food from Thai Moon. It's seriously the best in Cedar Rapids! It's a rare gem to find a place that specializes in American AND Thai food. There's always a dish for someone here. My "go-to" order is always Evil Jungle Prince with chicken. The chicken with the amazing curry sauce and shredded cabbage is heaven. I haven't had it in over a year because I was gone and it's still amazing! Kudos to this place for keeping its amazing Thai food and adding on American food for a more diverse crowd!

    Note: This is a review for the new Korean BBQ! It's essentially your own korean style hibachi…read moregrill. Our server Izzy was super helpful in getting us started, but gave us enough autonomy to cook our own stuff and enjoy the experience. The dinner started out with Banchan, which consisted of a bunch of small dishes that would be passed around - among the veggies, bean sprouts, potato's, salad, miso soybean soup, etc., the kimchi radishes were my favorite. Upon request (and free of charge), they'll bring out seconds of whatever you'd like. Then, they come out with a variety of meats that we cook ourselves (with guidance if needed) on the grill in the center of the table. Among the many, the ones that stood out to me were the brisket, lemon pepper chicken, and the miso garlic pork collar. You will leave FULL and happy. 5 stars. Thanks MIX for a great night!

    Tried this place out after seeing all their menu had to offer, and it was good!…read more We came in super late and thankfully they still took us, and staff was so nice whole time. I got the classic bibimbap and my boyfriend got the miso ramen. I will say I don't think we ordered the right things, because the menu seemed amazing but our food was decent. The bulgogi was really good, and we both enjoyed our meals. The place is themed and very nice, seems like a cozy spot. We will be coming back to try more and use the hot pot as well!

They don't miss when they swing. You know it and so do I. Hand up accountability - I ordered food for a party of one this evening. Without a doubt my DoorDash driver thought there was a family of four on the other end. We all know that's why we have them leave the order outside. No rational person wants to feel the searing gaze of judgment. Since we're being honest I think more people should know that you can DoorDash an ice cream cake from DQ. Do with that what you will. And listen when the food is this good it's not your fault if you can't decide what to get any just get one of everything. Every now and again the kitchen does get a little loosey goosey with the spice level and we just have to accept that. Every one of us knows the game we're playing when we order Indian Food. Best Indian food in Cedar Rapids and it's not even close.

    They've really gone downhill. No more lunch buffet. I tried their lunch special lately. MY homemade…read moreChicken Tiki Masala made with Aldis simmering sauce, graham masala, sautéd onions and bell peppers is way better. Their butter chicken saved the meal. They dont serve Raita with the meal but you can pay to get some. You can only get plain Nana bread with the special. A little garlic oil brushing wouldn't cost them much more but would greatly improve the meal. Unfortunately, I think they just dont value returning customers, because it wouldn't take a lot to improve the meal offered..
