    Beef and broccoli
    Natalie E.

    Among the best American Chinese food I've had...and what a surprise from a tiny town in the middle of Iowa! Every dish came out promptly and hot. The egg rolls were crunchy on the outside, truly crisp not somewhat soggy. The filling was made up of a nice savory vegetable mix and the sweet and sour sauce paired very well with it. Same story with the crab Rangoon--hot, crispy, fresh, delicious. The beef and broccoli was nicely sauced, not too dry or too saucy. The broccoli was perfectly steamed and the meat was tender. The fried rice was excellent! Not greasy or mealy, just a deep almost nutty flavor. At a restaurant that serves mostly cuisine staples, name of the game is execution and Chuong definitely delivered. Everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and delivered with a smile. The only drawback was the state of the restaurant itself. The booths and walls definitely need updating.

    Shrimp and Lobster Sauce - amazingly flavorful without too much salt!
    John B.

    Recommendation: Chuong Garden really isn't too bad, especially considering its location in the middle of Grinnell. Some of my favorites are the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce and any of the Pan Fried Noodles. The Bubble Tea also gives CA boba shops a run for their money! TIP: Chuong doesn't take Discover or Amex, last I checked. Mastercard and Visa are the only options! Food: From time to time, the vegetables can be a little underwhelming, but on most occasions they're pretty fresh and delicious. The prices are reasonable with regard to the food quality and portion size, and on most occasions we have enough leftovers for another half a meal. Take-out is available too, so you can call ahead and usually have an order ready to go in under 20 minutes. Chuong Garden also caters in the form of providing 12x18 inch party platters of some of their dishes. However, these platters run upwards of $45-50 and for the price, the food is good but in little quantity. After ordering from here for group meals in the past, I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you're trying to get the most bang for your buck. Service: The restaurant is primarily run by the owners and is bussed by college students. The college students are typically adequate at their jobs with regard to filling drinks, cycling the tables, and providing a positive diner experience. There can be lapses though when the amount of seated diners is large, but I'd expect as much from non-professionals. You'll definitely see better wait staff in other cities or nicer restaurants, but there are no weird vibes or anything thankfully. Atmosphere: This is probably the biggest pain point of the restaurant. The booths are a little on the run-down side, with wall paint starting to come off and tables and seats showing signs of wear. The restaurant is dimly lit by ordinary incandescent lights and there is not a huge amount of decor. There is no music playing in the background, meaning the space can be very quiet at times. Conclusion: All in all, I'd still go back. The food is good enough to overlook the decent service and lacking atmosphere, and the prices (at least for single dishes) is entirely reasonable on a college budget.

I went just before 8 pm on a Thursday night and was the only dine-in customer. There were some people standing outside talking, but other than a couple of carry-out customers there weren't many people there. The seating area was immaculate and they let me sit wherever I wanted. The server brought me a menu immediately. I ordered Mongolian beef. Meals come with rice, soup, and a spring roll. I ordered the egg drop soup and friend rice. The soup and spring roll came out almost immediately. I noticed that the soup wasn't just egg. There were actually pieces of carrots and celery in it, and it wasn't too salty like a lot of restaurant soups are. The spring roll had a crisp, flaky crust. I was so glad it wasn't soggy with oil. The main dish came out before I could finish my soup and before I could even touch the spring roll. The beef had a good flavor, and best of all it was not drowning in oil or some kind of sauce. I appreciated the food and the good service. I plan to come back soon and bring some more people with me.

I would never want to be the reason somebody has to continue serving after closing time! We ordered chicken with mushrooms, Mongolian beef, and fried rice. We paid less than $40! We were told to expect 10-15 minutes wait because everything is made fresh. 12 minutes later our food was ready to go. The restaurant is clean and decorated like any other middle American Chinese restaurant. The ladies restroom was exceptionally clean. Watching the fish in the fish tanks passes the time nicely but I would have appreciated a label saying what kind of fish they are. One tank says "his name is Mushroom" which is very appropriate for the shape of the fish! We had a very short drive to our hotel and the car smelled amazing. The fried rice was perfect, absolutely perfect! It was perfectly cooked, tender but separate grains of buttery well seasoned rice with super sweet peas. Excellent flavor! The chicken with mushrooms was exactly what my Mama was hoping for. The Mongolian beef was very tender and saucy but not at all spicy. This is my only complaint... don't show me a spicy red pepper on the menu and then give me a dish with no spice! Don't get me wrong, the dish is delicious! It's just NOT SPICY! I wanted some heat on my meat!

    Very good food! Service is great! Nice clean establishment! I eat there often when I'm in Toledo!read more
