Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Very large portions of food, and really tasty food. The food was very fresh, and hot and it came out quick! My sister and brother both loved their order of chicken broccoli, and fried rice. Their fried rice was high-quality, and had enough vegetables in the dish. The food not only looks good, but it tastes very good, too. I definitely recommend Iron Chef if you're looking for a fast and high-quality food Chinese restaurant. I will definitely be going back soon! Their wall decorations brought more of a curtural effect to the restaurant. The restaurant was very clean; the floors were swept, all of the tables were wiped down and shined. Every table had a containor full of napkins, and bottles filed with hot sauce and soy sauce. Their was menus hanging up, some menus on the table, and many of them had pictures for display. The restaurant was very clean for being such a small place, and they continuesly cleaned it. Coming to Iron Chef for a short amount of time is the perfect solution because the food comes out really fast! I was definitely shocked when the food came out because it felt like I just ordered it! I have been to so many Chinese restaurant but none of them compare to this. I am so glad that I found a place where I can take my family and I know they'll enjoy it just as much as I have. I will definitely come back in the near future.

Never knew about this place, very tasty food and not heavy. Called in an order was was recommended the Szechuan Beef, as far as a little spicy of a meal. Thought it was great, not heavy, the beef was chewy or fatty, very lean. Also tried the sweet and sour pork, very good. Not heavily breaded or heavy, not greasy whatsoever. The sauce was not heavy nor sweet, it was perfect. Will order from again, they have a huge menu...tons of stuff to try out.
(4)Gabe M.
Not bad, food came out quick and hot. Asked for extra spiciness but got none. Tsao chicken just a hair salty but over all pretty good, will be back to try something else. Oh someone posted to bring your fork, not a bad idea, the forks are very cheap.
(4)Nicolle N.
Small place - best for take out. The food is very good, fresh and consistent. I order from there anytime I want Chinese food.
(4)Abigail P.
My husband and I love this place. I didn't grow up on high-quality fast Chinese food, but I try every Chinese restaurant I can at least once, and Iron Chef outstrips every other restaurant I've been to. Obviously they have some dishes that are done better than others (as all restaurants do), but I've been so impressed by the quality of the food and the depth of the flavor in each dish we've tried. Hands down, I always come back to their fried rice, which is kind of a litmus test for a good restaurant. Theirs is clean (as in, not oily), piping hot, packed with vegetables, and has a distinct flavor. I can't tell you the number of Chinese restaurants that offer bland, literally flavorless (or soap flavored!) fried rice. Iron Chef does all their basics well, which tells me their other dishes receive the same care and quality as well.
(5)Gordy T.
Always consistent food. Never have to wait for orders to go. Best egg foo young around. Have ordered from there 10 times and never had to wait for food longer than I would expect. Will continue to do business there.
(4)Suzanne S.
We ordered beef fried rice, beef & broccoli and orange chicken. It was all ok nothing really to brag about. I'm still in search of some tasty Chinese.
(3)Michelle P.
My favorite spot for Won ton soup in the area! Chinese food in northern NJ is the bomb so we struggled to find a good local restaurant when we first moved. THIS is the place!
(4)Daniel S.
Large portions at decent prices but the food quality was poor. I ate a quarter of my meal and left the rest. I had General Tso's chicken and hot and sour soup and was disappointed with both options. My wife got orange chicken and again, it wasn't very good food. The food tasted cheap and it was prepared different from other Asian food I've have had.
(2)Craig S.
I ordered a meal online through their website. That process went very smoothly and was easy to do. No problems there. Had to wait for a few minutes once I arrived to pick up the food, but no biggie. All of the portion sizes were generous. Mongolian Beef was very good. Szechuan Beef was good. Salt and Pepper Calamari was very good. The Hot and Sour Soup was average. It had good consistency (not too thick and gloppy, not too thin) and nicely proportioned ingredients, but lacked enough hot and enough sour. Since I gauge all Asian restaurants by their ability to produce a top-notch Hot and Sour Soup, Iron Chef got knocked down a rating for this. We are new to the area. This is the fourth Asian restaurant we've tried and our favorite, so far.
(4)Dana B.
The food was ok. Portions were ample. We like spicy and this was far from it. I would give 3 stars but my brother had leftovers the next day and got sick. We thought it was a fluke until my husband had a different leftover and also got sick. We threw the rest away.
(2)Fiona S.
Pork in Chinese Eggplant with Garlic Sauce. Burst of flavor in your mouth! Just hoping there'd be more pork than the eggplant. Overall its delish!
(4)keegan w.
I'll keep this short... I'm from Seattle, I have high expectations when it comes to any Asian food. Mu shu is my favorite thing in the world, don't crush my mu shu dreams by saying it will come with pancake when you give flour tortillas. PANCAKE IS NOT FLOUR TORTILLA! ...sigh. Second, if you do Happy Family please don't include fake crab/krab. The flavor of that is too overpowering to be part of a Happy Family. Boo for ruining happy family, iron chef. If I had NO other dinner option I might order from here again, but the high reviews are deceiving...or I'm just used to a higher caliber of food I guess.
(2)Pick C.
We bought 4 different plates today to try a bit of everything, as well as some crab Rangoon. I would have liked done dipping sauce with it, but the flavor is the crab was yummy. The different plates we ordered were each flavorful and seasoned perfectly. The spicy dishes were spicy but not overbearing hot. We will def be back.
(5)Paul R.
Iron chef is my go to takeout place. We have been going there since it opened in Queen Creek. The place is small, and has a few tables to selfserve dine in. The owners are hard working folks that can throw down Chinese take out with the best of them. The counter service is a revolving door of local high school girls that take you order and payment. The magic happens in the back, but in plain sight. The New York style chow main brings back childhood memories. The Szechuan beef is outstanding. The kids love the dumplings and the ribs. There you have it, a "happy family." I love this place...

Just moved to Gilbert couple of months ago. Went to this Chinese Restaurant because of proximity to our home. It also had great reviews. Downside is only 3 tables in this place so I would highly recommend your orders to go. I had the Happy Family and very happy with the assortment of vegetables and meats. Will defiantly order to go from this place again in the next couple of weeks.
(4)Paige M.
I really liked this place before every other bite had a large amount of fat/Gristle on it and that weird crunchy piece that makes you want to spit everything out /: Please improve on the quality of meat, I do miss having decent food.
(2)Angelo K.
Probably one the best chinese food restaurants this side of town. Reasonably priced for the quality, taste and large menu portions served. Small place if you are thinking of dinning inside. Most people pick up food to eat at home. Our family has been ordering take out from them for over 7 years and always delicious. Even visiting family or friends ask if we can order from IRON Chef. Maybe our gusts just don't like our cooking?! No...it's the delicious Chinese food at Iron Chef.
(5)David C.
Been coming here for years now. Best Mongolian beef ever! Good portions and quality food for a great price. You can't beat that out here in the QC.
(5)Arin A.
I not not impressed with the Orange Chicken at all. The chicken breading was extremely soggy and the sauce had minimal flavor. For the price for one Orange chicken and two sweet and sours, will try somewhere else next time..
(3)Tina P.
Have been back at my husband's insistence. The owner returned from overseas and the food quality went up immediately - although all I've tried is the beef with broccoli which is quite good. The pork fried rice is awesome. Online ordering is definitely a plus, especially for takeout.
(4)Matthew N.
So there are not many options for Asian American fare in the Queen Creek area and I tend to be very outspoken on this cuisine. So I tried Iron Chef and there are a few major issues I have. First when I ask the person running the front what is in House Pad Thai and I get the answer "a traditional Pad Thai" I expect a traditional Pad Thai with thicker sauce, crushed peanuts, and a choice of protein. What I got was a running sauce with chicken, beef and shrimp. Most of the time this would be a positive for people, but what if I am allergic to shellfish, religious belief or just can't stand it.... The entire dish is a waste. Second the menu has lots of options but no descriptions.... It's like playing Chinese Food Roulette. Not a bad option but things could be better.
(3)A F.
Always a solid choice for tasty Chinese food. The Mongolian beef is one of the greatest items in my opinion. They are fast and efficient. I have never waited longer than 20 minutes for my food. There have been a couple times where they forgot a small item (egg rolls...etc.) but we gave them a call and they made it right. Keep up the great work!
(5)Tim S.
Very good food!! Great take out. I recommend the Mongolian Beef. Small dining room if you choose to eat at the restaurant.
(5)Heather L.
I have been to this Chinese restaurant a few times now and every time I'm satisfied. The food is always out fast, Very flavorful and LARGE portions. They have an awesome lunch special for $5.95 that includes a drink and is enough food for two meals. They are always friendly and the restaurant reminds me of the Chinese food places that are back home in NY. I would definitely recommend.
(4)Mike R.
This place has gone down hill over the past 3.5 yrs. The crab rangoon is terrible, small & tasteless. The fried rice is not very good either. I've visited the east coast and mid-west areas, where the fried rice was fried, dark brown - not lightly seared.
(2)The T.
The food was pretty good, but I would put it into the outstanding category others seem to think it is. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken and really liked the sauce. Bonus points for offering brown rice with no extra charge. But my vegetables were dead cold. In hind sight, I should have taken 1/2 of it home for dinner as the portions are quite large. Oh, and you may wish to bring your own silverware. The utensils they have just might be the cheapest, flimsiest, plastic you will ever eat from. The knives were not strong enough to slice through my chicken. And, they are the sized for children's hands. Others have mentioned the rudeness. I did not experience that, but: 1) they are not the friendliest bunch, 2) the moment you finish eating, expect them to clear the table. I'm not sure my fork hit the plate before it was gone. If you spend any time in a big city, this is de rigueur. What everyone says about small dining room, you can believe that one. I wanted to eat in and I didn't think I would get a table. I needed to "hover" around another couple and they go the hint to move along as soon as they were done and I was lucky. Others that came in after me were not and had to change their orders to carry-out. If I was in the area and in the mood for Chinese food, I would go again. But I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to dine here again.
(3)Kate H.
I really like this place. I'm from San Francisco, and this Chinese food is the closest to home I've experienced in Arizona. One of the only places that has honey pecan prawns. Yum! Updated review: 2/10/13- Honey pecan prawns aren't there anymore, but it's still good!
(5)Melissa S.
We have been here twice now and love it. I gave it 5 stars for what it is- a local takeout Chinese food place. If you are going here expecting an eat in, fancy dining establishment then this is not the place. The food is great- not overly greasy and full of flavor. They have a large menu and a reasonably priced family dinner. So far it is the best takeout Chinese food we have found in this part of the valley.
(5)Raymond R.
I don't even want to give this place 1 star because they do not deserve it, my boss goes here and gets lunch every now and then and always asks for the rice plain...they always have pink pork in it, I am vegetarian, and not a picky annoying one, if you eat meat thats fine with me, I even work in an establishment were I cook and serve it all day but...when I go to a place that has vegetarian meals (which I greatly appreciate) I expect to NOT have practically raw pork near what I order, the first time I had this place they put pork in the rice even though they knew and were told I do not eat meat, it was fine, I brushed it aside and ate the rest of my meal...no biggie, it happens. Twice my boss has been in since to get lunch for all of us and every single time she tells them please do not include the rice since it has pork, and every time, they do not care, they throw that nasty raw pork right on top of my food, I will NOT return and definitely will NOT recommend to anyone, I'll stick with my Golden Harvest from here on out.
(1)Wowezow E.
WOW! This place is AWESOME! They know how to make good Chinese food with great flavor. The Mongolian Beef is so good. I love the fried rice. I love how the food has a really good wok flavor. YUMMY. I am going to be a regular now!
(5)Diana L.
When I want Chinese take out, this is my go-to. Partly because it's tasty, and mostly because it's close to where I live compared to other good Chinese food. Plus, it's so reasonably priced! Favorites: Hot and sour soup Tomato egg shrimp Eggplant in garlic sauce Chinese eggplant with beef in garlic sauce
(4)Richard F.
We usually come only at lunch or dinner rush. Food is OK but nothing outstanding. It is a value however. Compared to B-King and Subway (in the same parking lot) the food seems more filling and more like a complete meal. Definitely someplace to get you out of a pinch, but not a 'go to' kind of place for great Chinese food.
(3)Chris B.
I love the BBQ boneless spare ribs. The real treat here is that it's authentic New York style Chinese takeout in south Queen Creek surrounded by orange groves and horse property. Awesome.
(4)David W.
Love this place. I Always get take out. Great value, great food. I dont know or care if the employees are nice when i pick up my giant sack of delicious food. I treat it like the "soup nazi" situation. I order it over the phone, go pick it up when they tell me to be there. Done. No small talk, pay the bill and get the hell out of there!!!
(5)Mark N.
It was ok, had 8 people over for Dinner and bought 2 of the family meals. No one went back for seconds, that pretty much sums it up.
(2)Tracy M.
Love love love the food here. Service is blah but it's take out!!! Totally worth it.
(5)Wendy D.
I've been meaning to review this one for a while. Iron Chef is the closest Chinese to our house so we go here probably once a month, occasionally a little more often. Out of the last 3 times I've ordered here, twice I ordered things I ordered ALL the time with veggies in it and both times they included mushrooms which had NEVER been part of these orders before. I understand changes in the menu, adding and subtracting dishes, but when you change the ones that people SHOULD know what they are getting it is VERY disappointing. I am allergic to mushrooms. I know to ask to remove mushrooms if I am unsure of a dish, but these are dishes I'd been ordering for years. So twice I was jipped out of my dinner. Everyone else was happy. I learned a lesson and we havent been back in 3 months. Not that I won't go back, just that I needed a break cause I was really really irked.

A friend introduced me to the Iron Chef Japan show a few months ago and that caused me to notice this restaurant while shopping at Basha's one morning. The logo on the menu shows a chef in similar stance as the show. This restaurant is in a great location on Power & Chandler Heights right in with Basha's & behind Burger King. The restaurant is very small, as Gregory L. described in his review. One thing that has changed since his review is that now there are 4 booths and 1 small wooden table for 2. While he advised carry out would be a better option, I found the dining room to be nice. I visited at noon on New Year's day and the restaurant was empty. Several people arrived for carry out orders, which tells me the place is popular. The booths were good sized and the wall had photographs of customers enjoying their meal. It gave the restaurant a nice, homey feel. The staff was very friendly and the meal was prepared in about 15 minutes. Plus the soda machine had Orange Slice - I haven't seen that since like 1988! I ordered the General Tso, which is what I order at every Chinese place, but it does serve as a good benchmark for comparison. The dish was among the best I have had. The chicken was lightly crisp and the sauce had a good flavor, but did not drown the plate. You can choose between white or brown rice, and it is loaded with vegetables. Onions, carrots, peas and pork were very prevalent in the fried rice. Another surprise was the egg roll - I have not tasted its equal. It was definitely not frozen like other restaurants use. It wasn't hard and dry, but fresh, handmade and loaded with cabbage. The menu is extensive. I took one home for future considerations. Given my first experience here and the size of the menu, I will be back and trying other dishes.

My lovely wife was craving Chinese food, so we decided to stop by for lunch. Having researched it right her on Yelp, I knew not to expect this to be a place big on atmosphere and ambiance. Walking in confirmed what I knew so far, but I think everyone needs to know - they weren't trying to achieve these things. What this place does achieve is they make outstanding food. There were 6 of us, and we all sampled different items from the menu. I got the Mongolian beef with a side of Hot-n-Sour soup, while the wife got Szechuan beef and my daughters got Chow Mein and Orange Chicken with Egg Drop soup. The soups came up first, and they were delicious. One of the many things my late father and I shared was an appreciation for good hot-n-sour soup, and he would have loved this. Well done, with lots of mushrooms and tofu, and it was flavorful, while not being overdone with spice and pepper. The egg drop was very flavorful, and was quickly gone. The Mongolian Beef and Vegetables were tender and the dish was sauced well, not runny or dry. My daughters loved the Orange Chicken, which was not overly sweet and carried plenty of spice. My wife enjoyed her Szechuan beef, and concurred that it was flavorful and tender. All of us had pork fried rice with our meal, and it was some of the best I have had. Light, not greasy, and lots of flavor. That seemed to be what stood out in everything - flavor. None of the dished we tried lacked for flavor, and each was distinctly different. I have been to many places and all of the food tasted so near to each other, it was barely noticeable. The Iron Chef does not fall into that category. Service was great, as everything came up quick and the guys were very nice. In summary, the food is outstanding, service was great. Run, don't walk, to see for yourself!
(5)Sarah A.
Best chinese food ever, period. LOVE this place! No, they don't deliver, and it is about 35min round trip from where I live, but you will not hear me complain! It's 100% worth it! Everyone is really friendly and the food is such good quality and tastes amazing. I don't eat from any other chinese restaurants now, only Iron Chef! PS- you can also order online.
(5)Andrea A.
Food was alright if you know what you want. Horrible service. Over charged us and they didn't refund us or apologize for their mistake. By the way, don't get the shrimp with lobster sauce. Looks like a plate of goo, it was unappetizing .
(1)Tasha C.
Highly recommend. Great food. Cozy atmosphere. Had no problems with staff, not sure what previous reviewer was talking about. Agree with reviewer that close to San Francisco as we can get here (lived in SF previously). The pot stickers were awesome! Will be back.
(5)Becky A.
The bf and I tried this place the other night and I thought it was great! We've lived in AZ for about two years now and this is the first time we've had Chinese food, mainly because I can't find a place that delivers to our house. Anyway, I ordered the tofu with eggplant in garlic sauce, but was told they were out of eggplant, and the girl taking my order was very apologetic. Not a problem though...got the broccoli instead. It was sooooo good! The next day I ate the leftovers...cold, with my fingers, standing at the kitchen counter! It could have been less oily though, in my opinion. The bf got sweet and sour chicken. He liked it. Also got some vegetable fried rice and vegetable spring rolls. Also very good. If only they delivered! We'll definitely go back!
(4)Pat J.
Reliably tasty, super quick take out, easy on-line ordering, orders are always spot on, nummy house chow mien, clean and totally satisfies that "I want me some Chinese food" thang. Everything a Chinese take-out should be.
(4)Khoi D.
Nice small place. Great service, very friendly, food served fast,fresh, and hot. Daily lunch specials are the best.
(4)Jason B.
Great! Easy online ordering! I have lived in the area for 1 1/2 years looking for a good Chinese place! This is it! I will be going back
(5)Judi S.
Great food! The Pad Thai is a little greasy, but has great flavor. Really good egg drop soup as well!
(4)Eric H.
I'd say this place is just okay...it doesn't make me sick afterwords, it just isn't that flavorful or delicious. It's a run of the mill Chinese restaurant.
(3)Lily L.
I don't normally expect good service from a chinese retaurant unless you're at a chained restaurant like P.F. Chang's. But this place is the worst both food and service. The younger gentleman with glasses at the counter is really rude. I was recommended to this place by a friend who said it's the best Chinese go to for him since he always do a take out order. Recently a young gentleman at the register screwed up his order as well. Funny story was, I was talking to my boss about Chinese restaurant and he mentioned Iron Chef where he took his family. We ended up talking and find out we were treated the same way from the same guy. We laughed it off and made joke about it all the time now.
(1)Herman B.
Our first visit was not the best experience..it was just "ok" at best.....nothing special. The person at the register who took our order didn't know much about the menu...and we didn't get what we ordered (had asked for deep fried and got a sauteed conglomeration instead). The flavor was good ... but didn't like sauteed eggplant with very tough skin. I can't say the service was terribly bad or rude...but we didn't feel welcomed or appreciated. Never got a greeting or smile when we walked in and never heard the words "thank you." It was almost as if everyone working there lacked reasonable enthusiasm. We'll probably give it one more try. Maybe I am 'old school' but I think no business should treat their customers in such a nonchalant way. That typeof attitude can make the difference between a one-time customer or a repeat customer. BTW, the guy with glasses (maybe the owner or manager??) seemed to annoyed when we asked about menu items... somewhat of a jerk.
(2)Devin M.
We go to this place all the time. We are from jersey and decent Chinese is a needle and a hey stack search. We live in Seville so it's super close. Always only takes about 15 minutes. The wonton soup is my favorite here and the egg roles are just like back home. We will continue going here until they some how find a way to make the food bad!
(4)Marina R.
Must admit I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food. Probably because most of the food is deep fried. But I have found a place that makes something I love! Szechuan Beef! Lots of fresh veggies, good tender beef and if you add the spicy sauce they have stored in the little drawers really spicy! We also ordered orange chicken, even though deep fried, I really enjoyed. Especially because of the broccoli served on the side steamed and not over cooked. The boys had pot stickers and ribs and were very happy. I didn't pay attention to the cost but dishes were about $9 a piece. Really friendly, happy, helpful service!
(5)Jason N.
Best noodles in Phoenix. This place is hands down the best chinese food in Phoenix. PF Changes has nothing on these guys, they are fast, friendly and food is hot. Its also excellent for leftovers too.
(5)Pete O.
Wow- Super great! I had the Hot and Sour Chicken- Awesome. My wife had the Szechuan Beef- Awesome. My 6 year old has the Orange Chicken- she loved it! My 3 year old had the Chicken Egg Foo Young- Really great! Egg rolls and crab rangoons on the side were yummy. Didn't even get to the Won Ton soup- looking forward to that tomorrow- Lots of leftovers- total bill was $46- a bargain! Highly recommend.
(5)Jenn A.
Not exactly a note-worthy place, but hey it'll feed ya for cheap! :)
(3)Karl K.
I have had better Chinese food, but not often. This is a hole in the wall, small place in a strip mall next to a Bashas', but this place is really good. There are a few tables to sit in and eat, but we always get take out. You can order and pay online. The food is well above average, and the prices reasonable. I would rather give this plave 4.5 stars because there are a few places that are better or as good. The pot stickers are juicy, full of meat with thick dough. We are lucky in QC to have 2 good Chinese restaraunts (the other being Golden Harvest).
(5)Tami G.
I've never had anything but the chicken and broccoli from here. My husband and I love it so much, we dont care to try anything else! It's very small and only a few tables but we always order take out anyway and our orders always ready for pick up within 20 minutes max.
(5)James M.
Wow, What a great discovery. I found them through Yelp and saw the reviews. I set up an account with them online, then placed my order. I drove two miles, walked in the door and they handed me my order. The Pad Thai was absolutely amazing.
(5)Scott R.
Our favorite Chinese place hands down.also lunch special are a great value. I have yet to find a dish I don't like.
(5)Tray B.
Pretty good. You should give it a try. I wasn't "wow'd", but the food is prepared fresh.
(3)Robert A.
Great food - very fast for takeout! The family meal is a bargain - with plenty for a large family. We have eaten in a few times (not a lot of tables) and taken out many more. The food is delicious and the service very prompt. If you call in the order, it will be ready by the time you can get there.
(4)Rosa S.
Got the family meal to go. All of the food that came with the meal was awesome. I am very happy that we picked up the food because the place is very small and probably not a very kid friendly location. However, food great and a LOT of food for the money!
(4)Robert R.
First time there. I placed the order online. It was easy and fast. The food was very good. Everyone liked it. This will probably be a regular place for us.
(4)Michael K.
As said in the previous yelps, a very small store front. Picking up is probably the best option here. Very decent take-out style chinese. I got the New York Style Chow Mein which, to my surprise, had no noodles. Maybe they misheard me when I called in my order and I got chop suey, because that is what it seemed like. Either way, the sauce was good, not to salty/greasy. The meat was plentiful for the price and the veggies were well cooked. I would definitely eat here again. My wife got pad thai (which I have [personally stopped ordering from anything but thai restaurants) and she thought it was good. The primary reason I gave them four stars is they have a little condiment fridge out front where one can grab little cups of sauces. In that little fridge is one of my favorite things, homemade hot mustard. It was fairly hot and tasty and really kicked the whole meal up a notch.
(4)Jennifer G.
As a former Bay Area resident, I have come to love and appreicate all asian food. Generally, I prefer Japanese and Thai over Chinese, however, when it comes to Iron Chef it's my favorite. The location is perfect as it's only a quick two or three minute drive from my house. Their food is absolutely delcious and is on par with a high end chinese restaurant. The quality of the meat, fish and vegetables is just excellent and it's always very consistent. I generally order the garlic chicken as I love spicy food! It's a wonderful mix of vegetables and white meat and the sauce is perfect, full of flavor and not at all greasy. I also like the fact that they offer brown rice as an option and their eggrolls are some of the best I've tasted. The family meal for $29.95 is an excellent value and is enough food for four or five people. We ordered it for the two of us and had leftovers for a week! It includes sweet/sour pork, broccoli beef, orange chicken, chow mein, fried rice, steamed rice, soup and eggrolls. I sure hope that Iron Chef survives the recession. I try to eat there as often as I can :)

I went back to this place after foodie-reliable friends said it was their Chinese food of choice. It is much cleaner than I remembered on my first experience. I was impressed with the staff -- didn't have to write anything down and got our ordered cooked FRESH quickly. We dined in (they have a SMALL dine in seating area). The food was good (steamed chicken and veggies, and steamed dumplings) but I wasn't blown away (frankly I don't think I have been blown away by chinese food around here). I was trying to eat healthy that night so we went light. I usually define my Chinese experiences with Kung-pao but didn't that night. I'll definitely be back. It was the better of the others in the area.

Best Teriyaki Chicken I ever had. Not sure how the rest of the menu is, but I don't really care, because I will definitely stick with the Teriyaki Chicken. Too bad that the restaurant is so far from Phoenix.The orange soda they have is really good. Go here for Teriyaki Chicken and Orange Soda!

Best General Tsos in town!!! Most of the food here is good although heavily drenched in sauces and MSG. but it tastes great! Good eggrolls too. It's a dive with about 4 tables. To go is the key here.

The Place: I'm trying to come up with a good analogy to the size of this restaurant (and I use that term VERY loosely). Let's just say that the Iron Chef in Queen Creek could easily fit in my garage it's that small. It is amazing what can come out of a cramped space. The eat-in portion of the place has three booths and a small two person table. The total diners that could eat in at the same time would be about 14 - and it would be a cramped fit. The Food: The food was good, a bit too much oil for my taste, but not greasy in the slightest. We ordered chicken lo mein for the kiddos, and unfortunatley for them it was chock-a-block full of veggies and chicken. My kids haven't discouvered the joys of stir fried veggies as yet - we're working on it. We also ordered chicken with broccoli with a white sauce, which was an enormous portion and again, everyone enjoyed. Rounding out the feast was a roasted pork and chinese eggplant dish which was sweet and hot as well as a stir fried green bean plate. We probably could have gotten away with ordering three dishes or a small size instead of all large. Bonus for flexibility - you can order brown rice if you aren't a fan of the fluffy white stuff. The Bottom Line: I highly recommend Iron Chef for take out, but I would avoid for eating in. We were starving when we stopped in and didn't want to wait the 20 mins to drive home. The proprietors were very friendly and willing to customize your order to pretty much anything you like.

I had Iron Chef for the first time last weekend and it was some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. My husband doesn't care for Chinese food so we rarely eat it so I am sure there are better places out there, I'm just limited on comparisons. We ordered the Mongolian beef, pork chow mein and sweet and sour chicken. The chicken was pretty average to be honest. It was fine for sweet and sour, but definitely not anything to write home about. Both the chow mein and the Mongolian beef were amazeballs! I could have eaten like 3 orders of each. And the fried rice is also freakin delish. I'm actually salivating thinking about it. It tasted even yummier as leftovers the next day. I can't wait to eat here again. Oh! And the egg rolls were also fantastic. The cabbage and other ingredients were loose, so you could tell they were fresh and not the premade frozen crap with chunked and formed centers that most places serve. Yum!

Honestly the best Chinese food in AZ. Ive been to a lot of Chinese restaurants throughout the East valley and this place is the best by far! Everything I've had on the menu has been great. I used to go to Iron chef twice a week back when I had classes at ASU's Polytechnic campus because it was that good!! Never once have had a bad meal or experience. The owners are awesome and provide excellent customer service. They also have great lunch specials. I just wish it was closer since I live in Arcadia now and its quite the drive (though I've made the drive just for the food on several occasions). I wish they would open a location near ASU's main campus because I know it would be a great success! Especially since there is a lack of options for Chinese food in Tempe.

The lunch special is an incredible value. I may never eat fast food again. Dinner is more expensive but is enough food to feed 2 hungry people. Great value, very fresh. The best Chinese food I've had in the east valley. Best for carryout or groups of. 4or less.

Ok, found a new place to eat Chinese food in the QC. This place was the best Chinese I have had here in the area. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some good Chinese food. I had the sesame chicken, and we also got the sweet & sour chicken and veggie order. Everyone was happy and each "single" serving can easily feed two big sized people.

This is as close to New York Chinese food that it gets. Their salt and pepper calamari is amazing not over cooked or over breaded. The imperial seafood meal is to die for, it has a great combination of seafood and fresh vegetables cooked to perfection. They have a great selection of dishes and some very inexpensive lunch specials compared to the size of the meal. The house special fried rice as my son says has a little something for everyone in it! Don't forget to take home the spicy mustard it is the best! You can sit down and eat but it has more of a fast food atmosphere. We enjoy taking our bounty of food to go!

I frequent Iron Chef for take out. Food is served fast and hot. It is consistant, budget friendly and available. Not many great places to eat near my house. Especially like the Szechuan Chicken or the Kung Pao Chicken Combinations.

Love this Chinese place! It's like good Chinese we used to be able to get back on the East Coast. Their menu is similar to most, but their duck sauce (in the fridge) is so good!! The kids meal option is great, and enough for at least 2 kids to share. I love their chicken and brocolli, fried rice and their egg rolls are good too! I am happy to finally find good Chinese in our area. Give it a try!

$5.50 lunch special including the drink IS a good deal!! Also, the lunch special portions are much larger than I expected compared to the low price I paid. I love NY style Chinese food and this place is as close as you are going to get in the Southeast Valley. My only (minor) complaint is that sometimes the chicken and beef dishes have a fishy flavor to them...I don't know if they use the same oil for all meats, but takes away from a particular dish's flavor. Other than that, I try and eat here at least once a week.

We absolutely love to order take-out from Iron Chef. They are super fast, and our food has always been flavorful and fresh. Many vegetarian options and brown rice, too! You could drive farther away and go elsewhere, but the food won't be any better--we've tried.

Only Chinese take out similar to back east, excellent eats

I'm not one to write reviews but Iron Chef is awesome. I'm from the east coast, home of the best Chinese food in the country, and I have not been able to find anything that measures up to even the worst of places back home until I found Iron Chef. It is the real deal. Quality delicious food. I've tried a number of the menu items and have no complaints. The pu pu platter is amazing as well as the service, no frills Chinese take out to die for. I might be a little to excited but it is only because of the utter lack of good Chinese food in the region. My one complaint is that the soda fountain kind of sucks.
