72. Moo Shu Pork, chicken and 78. Beef with Snow Peas, 14. Crab Rangoon Cream Cheese
Peggy D.

We wanted to try something different instead of going to our regular Chinese for carry out. China City was a pleasant surprise. I can't say enough about the food. The crab Rangoon was filled with crab and cream cheese. The wrapper was extra crispy. The Mu Shu pork came with five rice pancakes, hoisin sauce and the most yummy tender pork. Chicken and snow peas had lots of chicken and fresh pea pods with a few fresh carrots and bok choy. Fried rice was not greasy. I noticed no egg, peas and carrots which I was ok with. I will definitely go back! The dining room is closed off due to Covid19, so carry out only with delivery option as well.

Best lunch ever!!

Great food and good price. Service is a little slow, but not usually an issue since we usually order delivery.

Before I came to Iowa City for a conference? i researched places to eat. This was one I wanted to…read morego to. They're well reviewed on Yelp, which I value. My friend from work and I came here tonight. Wow. They have an informal lounge downstairs and a more formal dining room upstairs. The lounge has the same menu plus a lounge menu. So we chose more choice. The lounge was kinda dark and it's not fancy. But it's clean and open. It's fine. The server was terrific. Ash accommodated our need for separate checks (for us each to bill for our meal). She was attentive and pleasant. I asked her what she liked better between a couple of things and she gave me an honest answer. I followed her recommendation, The beet salad was lovely. the dressing had some goat cheese in it and was delicious. The fresh beets on the side really worked with the dressing. My friend got the cheese platter to start and there was lots of cheese. He loved it. He got the lounge version of the salmon, which he thought was great. I got the Artic Char, which was delicate and phenomenal. It was topped with pieces of lobster and caviar like eggs. The fish was delicate and the sauce rich, but not overpowering. It was delightful. We both loved our meals and highly recommend Orchard Green.

What an incredible find ! This is probably the most delicious food I have had in the last 20+…read moreyears. I picked this place just from a random search on Yelp. First, this is fancier than your usual, casual restaurant. It is also more expensive than your usual, casual restaurant (main courses avg. $45/dish). That being said, you can dine on the first floor (the lounge) or the second floor (main dining room). Service was good, the server was very pleasant. The ambiance was chill, soft music playing in the background, def not a casual restaurant... The menu was not 20 pages long, just 2 pages, with a great variety of dishes. First, had the crab cakes, 2 small square ones on the plate, I wish there had been more, because they were just amazing... Then came the lobster bisque, very tasty, really hit the spot... 2 main dishes were tried: Pistachio crusted white fish and Jerk chicken. The fish was cooked to perfection, and the flavors on every bite were absolutely delicious, and the potato pancake was super tasty and a perfect complement to the fish. The chicken (1/2 chicken) was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly in my opinion, the little potatoes and broccoli were very tasty also. For dessert, crème brûlée... Pretty amazing as well. I feel this is a place you bring someone you want to impress or just treat to an amazing gastronomical experience.

They don't hold back when it comes to the meat. Our server, Bri, was on top of it all! The staff were attentive to anyone that showed up and got people seated quickly. The food was brought quickly after ordering, and did not bat an eye when I wanted to change an item off the menu. The atmosphere was very nice as well! We will definitely be back!

I want to start with the positives, because the staff here truly shine. Chef Juan was incredibly…read morefriendly and welcoming -- he chatted with us, offered suggestions, and made us feel right at home. I ordered the Chef Queso Fundido based on his recommendation, and while I appreciated the guidance, the dish itself didn't quite live up to the hype for me. My bartender, Tina, makes a very solid Flor de Desierto -- easily the highlight of the drinks. However, the raspberry margarita leaned more syrupy than fresh, which threw the balance off. The restaurant is lively and energetic, with live music (a solo guitarist) and a packed house. It's clearly a popular spot and has a fun, upbeat atmosphere. That said, the overall vibe felt more like a "Mexican‑themed chain restaurant" than an authentic Mexican dining experience. If that's your style, you'll probably love it. For my personal taste, it just wasn't quite what I look for in Mexican cuisine. The staff were wonderful, but the food and overall authenticity didn't quite hit the mark for me.
