My family and I really enjoy our experiences here. The service has always been spot on. The food from soup to main dishes are excellent. Such a variety, we have a vegan a vegetarian and meat eaters in our group and there is something for everyone.

Take out was terrible! No flavor in the chicken dish & no chicken all vegetables. Other chineese restaurants in Iowa city are MUCH better!!!! Would not eat there again. Horrible place to dine for food!

Mekong serves by far the best Vietnamese and Thai food in Iowa City - Coralville and (Cedar Rapid for that matter). This family owned restaurant has been the best kept secret in town. The Mekong egg rolls are to die for, their soups (Vietnamese and Thai) are best I had. Try their Spicy Ginger or Tom Yun soups if you want the most flavorful soups you ever had. The Tamarind soup is unique as is the Crab Asparagus one.
You can't go wrong with any of their dishes.

We just had lunch at this establishment. The waitress messed up our 3 individual bills with another tables, then proceeded to give us the wrong change. They decided to count the till and came up with two different totals. Finally the OWNER came out and started arguing with us, insinuating that we were lying about how much we gave. The waitress and bar man were definitely not on their game, but to have the OWNER come out and argue with us totally upset us. They gave EACH of us the wrong change and then didn't want to admit that they messed up. I, NOR NO ONE I KNOW, will go back there because of his nasty attitude!

Korean food in Iowa City is sadly not abundant, but Popo offers a noodle soup called Jam Bong that should not be missed--it was only available by request for a long time but now has main menu status. The sushi is always

After eating at Pagliai's I do not understand what all of the raves were about. I thought the pizza was like eating tomato paste on cardboard. The price for the flat board pie was far too much. We will not return.

On a rare visit to Iowa City, I decided try something different for lunch. While not fantastic, Masala Indian Vegetarian was indeed a new experience, in that it's both vegetarian and Indian, and definitely worth trying.

Visited Graze with Friends from Cedar Rapids, Iowa about 35 miles north of Iowa City. The experience was fine up to the end. We had babysitters that night, so after spending $100.00 dollars with tip we were visiting and

Food might be good, but the service makes going there not worth while. We have been going there every week on Wednesdays for karaoke and received excellent service during the summer but now there is a different staff and
