    Holy cow, if I ever make it back to Grinnell the first place I want to go is to Chuong Garden. BEST lunch special ever! Pick any item on the menu and it is delicious! Crab rangoon is so good, I haven't found a better one anywhere. One of my friends always gets the shrimp fried rice and it was great. Not some measly little shrimp, big old things in tasty fried rice. One of my favorite things is that their orange chicken is slightly crunchy. I have yet to find a place that does this, and it is amazing!

    We ended up here because everything else in town was closed. It's not easy to find food on a Sunday night in Grinnell. The service was great everything was quick. I ordered Mushu pork and thought it was just okay. My husband tried to special order a meal with no sauce ginger and garlic but it came full of sauce. Even though the price was reasonable we felt that we had overpaid for the quality.

    5 Star review streak continues with me. Egg Drop Soup-Tasty soup with very good flavor. Egg Roll- Good eggrolls, crunch and filling done just right. Steamed Dumpling- Did a great job with them. Fried Rice-Good fried rice that does stand out from basic fried rice. Orange Chicken-Little spicy, right amount of orange flavor, great cut of chicken used to cook, has right crispiness, and great sauce. One of the best in Chinese restaurants in Iowa, there is one in Knoxville, IA and one in Des Moines, IA that round out top three that I have had here. They are a sit down place with no buffet which is great since every Iowa town has one. Nice to have a change in that trend.

    Great food! Whenever we travel to Des Moines, we make it a point to stop in Grinnell for Chuong Garden. Better than anything that I've found in Des Moines. Great lunch specials too. Give it a try.

    I am working in the area this week and was checking out Yelp to see what I should treat myself to for lunch on Friday. I miss the good 'ol Chinese restaurant as they are really hard to come by anymore. I recall my childhood experiences of sit down Chinese restaurants where I felt (albeit a child) that the food was far superior than what we experience these days and that the owners were very proud of providing you with a pleasant dining experience. Nowadays, most options are take out and they all taste the same to me. They don't taste homemade (i.e., Sesame Chicken in my hometown was, now it's just lumps/chunks of fried meat drowned in some sauce that is interchangeable for lots of dishes). Anyway, so, reading the reviews on here, I was intrigued to give it a shot. I went with the lunch special of Shrimp Fried Rice and crab rangoon side. I didn't think it was amazing by any means, but I did feel it was above par compared to the area choices. It definitely had more substance and flavor than the typical rice, meat, soy sauce and gobs of onion. They actually put egg in theirs with diced carrots, peas and green onion. The portion was more than enough and I could have used more shrimp. The crab rangoon was fine as well, but not rave worthy as I had anticipated from the other reviews. Not trying to be a debbie downer on this. The experience was better than your standard take out and bonus, it is a sit down restaurant, of which, I may just come back and try something else. The place was clean inside and service was friendly, so overall a positive experience, just not Woo Hoo knock my socks off, bring back my childhood again.

    Solid reliable Chinese food. This place is packed when students are in town, and with good reason. In particular the hot and sour soup is good, and you must try the broccoli and tofu. I like the pan fried noodles myself -they get a nice char on the outside - but really check it out for yourself.!!

    Hands down best Chinese food I've EVER HAD! The crab rangoon really is amazing. And I ordered the shrimp fried rice spicy and it was PERFECT. I want to move to Grinnell. :) Very quick and friendly service.

    I have one thing to say: Best Crab Rangoon EVER! No, seriously, my fiance and I order crab rangoon at every place we go that offers it, and no where else measures up. The rest of the menu is great too. Their lunch specials are a really great deal and service is prompt. I have moved away now due to graduation from the college, and I miss this place so much.

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.
