Worst Chinese I've ever had no fresh vegetables and frozen vegetables soaked in sauce . It was done in less than 5 minutes that was tge first red flag never again read more

Gross! Vegetable chow mein is a disgrace to its name. Chopped to unrecognizable mush and trenched in loads of oil with no spices other than too much salt. Recommend skipping this one for sure. read more

Such a nostalgic place for me. This restaurant has been in business for over 40 years and is still incredible after all the years. Came here for lunch in between errands. This is a small restaurant in a shopping plaza. A few tables inside or you can order take out. They also have offerings for delivery. The crab rangoons are the best in town! Chicken and broccoli or the tri dish are my favorites. My sister love the orange chicken. Always served super fresh and hot. read more

See all

My husband and I are new to the area and this was the first Chinese restaurant that we tried because it is close to our house. We opted for carryout and our order was ready in about 10 minutes, which was great! We are not disappointed on the serving sizes necessarily, but the taste was extremely offputting. We tried a variety of different things: Crab Rangoon: this did not have any sweetness to it at all, nor any flavor of crab. The final product was dry and flavorless. Potstickers: again, this product was very dry and hard with very little flavor. The sauce that came with it had a very strong vinegar taste. Not enjoyable. Eggroll: I thought for the price of one egg roll. It was rather small. I could not describe any of the food items inside of it. I did enjoy the wrapper quite a lot though. The sweet-and-sour sauce was definitely not a typical sweet-and-sour flavor. Chicken Ramen: I was extremely excited to try this because I had never seen it on a menu before. It basically tasted like very starchy noodles with random off the bone chicken pieces. I really wanted to like this. Chicken fried rice: this was extremely similar to the above item. Tasteless rice with random pieces of chicken. There was no seasoning that I could tell. Orange Chicken: the chicken in this meal was extremely dry, chewy, and hard. There may have been a few nibbles of chicken that was pleasant to eat. I cannot describe the sauce at all, it was not like any other orange chicken sauce I have encountered. I would definitely not try this again. read more

We've been eating at one location or another for 30 years. This isn't fancy Chinese food. It is casual everyday kind of food. I don't think the dishes have changed since they opened. What that gives us, is consistent flavors and expectations met. Even when what you wanted today was just egg-rolls and hour and sour soup. read more

I ordered shrimp fried rice and I got streamed rice with shrimp, so I called and the lady said they don't fry, so why Iam I paying for fried rice but get streamed rice or white rice. read more

Eggroll House - Shrimp fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

In the short time that I have lived here in the Cedar Rapids area, I have had the opportunity to eat here at the Eggroll House a few times. And for a fast food Chinese Restaurant, it's pretty darn good! My bff's mom, who takes me to some of my dr's appts, turned me on to this place! She said that she use to stop by here on a regular basis when she drove her City Bus. She would stop here to pick up a quick lunch. If ‍ p read more

Every single time I am back in CR I have to stop at Eggroll House. I've never written a Yelp review before, but I am so passionate about my love for this place that I felt I needed to. I suggest the "Hot Braised Chicken" with fried rice. I have never been able to find anything like it where I currently live. Mouth is watering just thinking about it. Also, they have the best crab rangoons (since Pei's closed). Just a perfect meal with friendly staff. P.S. How do you order this at other Chinese places in other cities?? Not sure how to even describe it. read more

Do not get their braised wings if you used to be in a big city and braids wearing tasting a certain way you're not gonna like these and they are over breaded the shrimp fried rice was OK. It was a little dry. read more

Best egg rolls in town - maybe anywhere. Love the hot braised chicken. Also, the hot braised tofu! You will be surprised how good a non-meat dish can be read more

We moved here not long ago. We have yet to find good Chinese food and good Mexican. So we tried the Egg Roll House. On a scale of 1 to 10, This restaurant gets a 2.5. Low grade food as far as flavor and quality. Dirty dining room that hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Look near their fake plants and dirty benches, floors. If that is the front of the restaurant that dirty image the cooking area. Cleanliness is next to Godliness and this place is hell. Nasty! Food was surprising. The reviews are a 4!? Cedar Rapids you don't know food! We ordered two dinners and were surprised How very little they care in preparing food. No pride in their product. I got Mongolian Beef. It was mainly onion with very little green onion. The sauce was like water the whole thing drowning in lousy try for a Chinese sauce. I can imagine they just have a big pan of the watery brown liquid they drench beef meals in. Disappointing at best. My wife had shrimp and Snow pea. The shrimp were over done and tasted like old seafood. A brown sauce unlike most which has a nice clear sauce. Not Good! This place makes me wonder what is wrong with people. But if you don't know good restaurants you just don't know, and people eat what ever is in front of them. But, it's somebody's favorite place... lol. To me and my wife, this place deserves a 1 star at best. If you travel, and if you eat, you can't tell me this place is good. By the way, we threw out 33.00 dollars in food. It not cheap in there but they make their money in lack of cleaning staff and quality of food. Don't go. It's worth $33 to tell you it's lousy as hell. read more

I have been to this location several times and have never had a bad meal. The service is quick and the food is hot. You can ask to have them give any dis a little kick or they have hot sauce on the tables. The place is always clean and though I never see a big crowd I have never seen the place empty either. I think they do a fair amount of take out orders also. They may also have delivery so if you are close ask. read more

Eggroll House - Dining area - Chinese Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

This restaurant confuses me with their flavour profiles on dishes. I've had kung pao chicken, beef and broccoli, hot braised chicken, hot braised chicken wings and egg rolls on several different occasions. As I understand it, this is a Korean owned restaurant; not that it matters or that I care -- but that may influence the style of Chinese food that is prepared. With that said, the hot braised chicken dishes as well as the egg rolls are delicious! The other items were just, ok. Not authentic by any means, but which Chinese place in the Corridor *does* serve that? read more

I ate there yesterday and had great service and food. It has been my very favorite place for many years. Wait staff is excellent and caring. I ate with a friend who said the same. I even took a dinner home for today. I would give them a 5 rating out of five. I have gone there for over 25 or 30 years. read more

Easily the best fast Chinese food in CR. The hot braised chicken is so good. As are the egg rolls and crab Rangoon. Not my go to for Kung Pao, but everything else I've had here is so freaking good. read more

No flavor. Older review said fried rice was just white rice and it is, white rice with some veggies in it. Disappointed read more

Eggroll House - Bland fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I have eaten at Chinese places all over the country and this is the only one that makes Mongolian beef and szechuan shrimp the way that I like! Most Chinese restaurants I've been to all have the same flavor for everything as of it all comes from one place. The owner at this location is so nice and the people complaining that it costs $40 to feed a family of 4 are insane, where do you get meals cheaper than that? I never pay less than $100 when we all go out to eat so I'd absolutely love a bill that was only $40! I get food to go from here every time I go through Cedar Rapids. The first time I ever ate here was in 1999 and I will continue to go as long as they are open. read more

The Kung Pao chicken was pretty good, had a nice sauce different from other styles I have had. More of a reddish sauce with some good spice too it, I liked it and would try it again. The egg rolls are good of coarse as most places that feature egg roll in their name are, at least from my experience. The egg drop soup wasn't my fav. The broth was a lil bland and they did have crab, mushroom, and shrimp in it as well. Not my cup of tea, but if you want more of a loaded soup then this would be for you. An okay place that I would check out again if I was nearby for lunch. read more

The restaurant is not clean, piles of supplies everywhere in the dining area, broken furniture, but the food is good and always hot.

We live near Ames, but stop here for takeout whenever back to visit. Other places' food like this can give me headaches or leg cramps. Egg roll House has good, fresh food every time! We also think Sue is very friendly! read more

The food is bland. No taste to the food. The employees were friendly. I'll not go back.

Not a big fan...my mom and a friend went here for dinner. So I thought I would list pros and cons of things I noticed. Pros: 1.) very nice people 2.) understanding workers 3.) cleaned tables 4.) everything stocked Cons: 1.) high prices 2.) not a lot of flavor (all 3 had the problem with different orders) 3.) my moms chicken was not all the way cooked 4.) my rice was burning hot but the crabragoons were cold like they were frozen and sat out for a couple min 5.) they have a box that you can but money in for candy and they candy had mold on it... Inside and outside read more

If I could leave a (-) star rating I would! We decided to try a new Chinese food restaurant, and it was the biggest let down. We dropped a whopping $60 on a dinner for 3, lo mien, and egg drop soup to be delivered. The soup was inedible and gelatinous. The Broccoli Beef was disgusting, the empress chicken was questionable and 75% sauce, the lo mien was "meh", and the orange chicken left us unimpressed. Not one person in my family of four ate more than a 1/4 of their plate, the only thing that wasn't disgusting was the rice. We LITERALLY bagged up our $60 dinner and tossed it in the garbage, which is like lighting $60 on fire- such a waste. My kids are currently eating a bowl of cereal to erase the bad taste out of their mouths. WORST CHINESE FOOD WE HAVE EVER HAD! Like, EVER!!!!!! read more

Wanted to try a new restaurant, so we decided to try this one. Food was great, especially the Garlic chicken. Egg rolls, crab Rangoon and lo mein were also great. It was also really fast, we had to wait under 20 minutes. Definitely going to try again as they have a large selection and want to try as much as I can. read more

We ordered delivery Mongolian beef, Ming's chicken, and sesame chicken with fried rice three egg rolls and three crab ragoons. It was the three person meal with an order of 3 crab ragoons. The website didn't have prices so we were shocked when the total was $37! I think we accidentally got Mongolian chicken instead of Ming's chicken, but it was good food. My friend and I thought it was good food, but it wasn't worth the money. I'd go here again, but only if someone else was paying. read more

Love this restaurant! Always get my order right (I ask for specific, special items!) This is a go to for my family!

Maybe I just got unlucky, maybe I'm just picky from having Madison spoil me with the ungodly amount of Chinese food in that area, or maybe, just maybe, Egg Roll House isn't that good. I got the orange chicken dish. Now, I'm not the best at cooking Chinese food, but I know when you make food, it's good to not have one thing be your only flavor. The orange chicken I got was bland and largely tasteless, with the exception of the overwhelming feeling like I was eating a hybrid between meat and a spoiled orange. I realize this is orange chicken and the main flavor will be the orange (and it should be!)--but I expect more than just an orange taste. And judging by the sesame chicken my significant other had, this isn't just a one-dish fail. The white rice was good, but that's like being proud of McDonald's for making edible french fries--you're making Chinese food, you better know how to make white rice or there's a problem. Especially when all you really have to do is stick rice and water in a rice cooker. So maybe it's a combination of all three; I'm unlucky because I'm so picky that I can't handle one-flavored foods. Or maybe this place could add some pepper and salt in addition to some other spices. read more

My absolute favorite place for egg rolls! They use the thin wraps instead of the thick traditional. I love their shrimp fried rice and sweet and sour rice. I've been getting their Chinese delivery since I was a kid! Always satisfied! read more

This place has been around for ages and there is a reason why. The lady that owns the place is super nice and knows how to cook excellent food! Her egg rolls are my favorite! My go to meal is the "hot braised chicken" read more

First time I've eaten at this location. Egg Roll House started about 25 years ago selling egg rolls literally in a house by the Hy-Vee in the hood. They have long since evolved into a strip mall Chinese fast food restaurant. Most of their sales are delivery or carryout although you can order at the counter and eat in. There must be a book out there with business instructions for fast food Chinese, cuz it's all the same. The egg rolls are about the only thing that sets them apart anymore. A good lunch choice. The lunch special is any entree, fried rice, one egg roll and one crab meat Rangoon for $5.99. There's nothing healthy about this food but you would pay the same for a meal at Wendy's or Arby's, it's made to order and is nearly as fast. read more

Eggroll House - Hot Braised Pork, rice, eggroll and crab Rangoon (lunch: $5.99) - Chinese Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

The food is good but if you want delievery I would not order from here on Friday or saturday night unless your going to dine in or get take out. They always seem to say 2 hours for delievery on the weekends. If you get chicken, or pork lo mein there's not a lot of noddles but there is a lot of meat! read more

Person answering the phone was very pleasant. Disappointed with the food - ordered Mongolian beef, cashew chicken, egg rolls and crab Rangoons. Not any better than other Chinese takeout. Especially since the cashew chicken had no cashews at all.... read more

I had a delivery of two dinner meals which was $25 with tax. They lady on the phone was quite nice, and so was the delivery guy. My boyfriend said that he felt like his sesame chicken was dry, but I felt like my sweet and sour chicken was quite nice! read more

This was the most disgusting Chinese food I have ever eaten! I love Asian foods. I ordered up crab rangoon, pot stickers, egg rolls, Mongolian beef, kung bao chicken, orange chicken and sweet n sour chicken for the family. The reason I enjoy Chinese food so much is that it is generally prepared with fresh vegetables and protiens. This food was so greasy and over cooked it was not edible. I know I had ordered some fried items but they were swimming in oil. The wax bags they were served in were dripping. Had to blot before tasting. One bite then into the trash. They even fried the pot stickers. Normally these are seared in a pot that they stick to(thus the name) then steamed. Even the Mongolian beef and kung bao had a layer of grease on top of the container. I rinsed the oil off in a collander and tried to make the most of the $ spent. The only good thing was the rice. read more

Food was really not that good all seemed to have the same flavor I ordered Kung pao chicken, broccoli beef, fried rice, chicken chow mein, and egg rolls. Egg rolls were mediocre, Kung pao seemed to have frozen vegetables(gross), broccoli beef was ok but didn't taste like the broccoli that I know and love, the fried rice was good, and the chicken chow mein had ZERO NOODLES. I was very upset. And my order came out to 47$ what the heck?! I most definitely regret ordering from this place will never do it again. Be warned fellow yelpers. read more

Egg Roll House, including the location on Wiley Blvd, is our "go to" restaurant when we want delicious food. We try new items on the menu and each time our palates are very satisfied. They have never disappointed us, always dependable. The owners are so friendly and personable -just all around customer service. read more

I go here for takeout once a month for lunch. Not only do they know my name, but they remember my order EVERY time I call. The food is delucious, hot and fresh every time. The peope are friendly and provide excellent service. I'm seriously picky about chinese and this is one of my faves. read more

I wasn't too hungry but the pint of shrimp fried rice tidied me over just nice :)

I relocated to the area recently; Egg Roll House was the 2nd place I tried on my quest for great Chinese food. I doubt I'll return. It missed on several key areas 1.) not all white meat chicken 2.) veggies were not fresh / crisp (mushrooms were canned) 3.) sauce was meh. The egg roll was the best part, but not outstanding. read more
