    General Taos chicken with extra sauce!

    We got the pumpkin curry and general Taos chicken with a side of steamed broccoli and rice. Carlos did a great job. The portions were good size and leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

    Spicy Basil Fried Rice. Nice portion for the price.

    Great food. Cool atmosphere. Service was prompt and efficient. Price point was where it should be.. I ordered the Roti Canai.. a delicious yellow curry dish served with chicken, onions and naan.. really good. I was there on a business lunch, and my customers have been there many times. We went on their recommendation, and we were not disappointed.

    The new owner is dropping the ball. First, they gave us a hard time about having my dog with us outside on the patio last month when it was previously never a problem. We were the only customers sitting outside so it was extra weird. The portions were also significantly smaller than before so that was second strike. Tonight, however, was redonculous. We called and ordered tom yum soup to pick up, specifically asking for a dinner size portion. They assured us that it would be a large dinner size. Just got it home and it's a small cup of soup and a couple shrimp. The white rice I ordered with it is crunchy and under cooked as well. Hopefully Exotic Thai will be open again soon cause this isn't cutting it.

    I was in Iowa City for a few days, and I read good reviews of Le Gourmet. So I decided to try it…read more It was located just a short six minute walk from the Hyatt Hotel. Located in a mall, it looks unassuming. There were about 7 tables inside and many more tables on the outside in the mall. I ordered the jjampbong (seafood noodle soup), which is a common dish in Korean owned Chinese restaurants. It was delicious and spicy. I really liked how you could still taste some of the char from some of the ingredients being flash cooked in a wok before being added to the soup. I have to say this might have been my favorite experience of eating jjampbong, and I've had some really good ones in Los Angeles. I came back the following day for lunch again. This time I ordered the baby clam thin noodle soup. Another hit! The flavor of the soup base was spot on, and the clams were already taken out of the shell, which made it more convenient to eat. I would definitely order both again if I visit Iowa City again. The food and service were excellent. The owner checked up on me to make sure everything was good. I highly recommend this Korean restaurant. Who knew Korean food could be this good in Iowa?!

    What a great meal when it's cold outside. The Kimchi jjigae was on point, staff were super nice and…read morethe restaurant is clean and inviting. Great place to eat and read.. just passing through Iowa City, glad I stopped by.. good stuff!
