Love this place for any meal. Breakfast is always good. Will make any heat you want on other foods.

The Thai food is the worst I've ever had. I have eaten Thai food all over Thailand and the world and my ex wife is Thai. So, I know what I'm talking about. I took a few bites and asked for the bill and left. The waitress was nice but I had to ask for intent ils and napkins separately. read more

Great food! Green Curry was excellent, as was their tenderloin sandwich. Not a huge sandwich, but a tasty sandwich, hand tenderized daily, good slices, be and a full complement of lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. Fries were on point too. Highly recommended. read more

Service was excellent, food fresh and tasty (grandson not a fan of the fish that came with the fish & chips). Reasonable prices, friendly owners, asset to the neighborhood and the community. read more

Based on the positive reviews and a few friends' recommendations, we ventured out to Cross Roads Bistro on a whim one rainy night and weren't at all impressed. The tiny parking lot was packed. Upon entering the restaurant, about half the tables were occupied while the rest were piled high with dirty dishes and clutter. The number of patrons dropped substantially while we were here, the dishes did not. There appeared to be two servers on shift. Ours was a total trip, y'all. Ordering was chaotic and confusing because she clearly was not familiar with the admittedly expansive menu, but on top of that she was spouting off total nonsense - our friend asked for his burger medium and she told him they only come in one size (...?!?) Skipping ahead to food actually coming to the table, it took 4 tries to actually get everything out correctly. I was served something I did not order and honestly thought she misunderstood me somehow, then she swapped it out with what I did order and served the first dish to another table (EEW!) The side orders came much later than the entrees and the condiments took her two tries to get right. We were shocked when she split our check appropriately without being asked. Between the four of us that evening, we ordered from a few parts of the menu to get an idea of what was up. My fiancé was pleased with his fried rice, but I was pretty underwhelmed by their beloved Evil Jungle Prince curry. It had no flavor and sat on an overwhelming portion of cabbage. The American food was totally frozen/premade that they heated up - bets on Bubba burgers. The table consensus was meh. Pricing is affordable for average portions. Everything was edible, but not particularly enjoyable. One of our friends had been here before and I don't think it measured up to his memories either. He did mention his previous visits were for breakfast, maybe that makes a difference. We might come back to try that, but it won't be for a while. read more

I come in and immediately felt very welcomed. I had no issue with the service I received. I ordered the Cross Roads omelette. It was very tasty and more than enough to fill me up. I have since returned several times and have tried many different dishes. I just can't get enough of the friendly staff. Even when they are busy I feel I get timely service and great quality food. I can't name only one dish that I enjoy the most. For sure the Burmese Curry Chicken and Laab is my top favorites. They will prepare your dishes to the spice level you like. I've heard people order "No Mercy"as a spice level. Not sure if I can handle that level of spice . The variety of food can satisfy all my cravings from breakfast, lunch and dinner. read more

Cross Roads Bistro is not your typical Asian restaurant, they have one of the biggest menus I have seen including an entire western foods menu. I had a tough time choosing what to get but settled on the massaman steak and pot stickers while my best friend got the chicken and eggplant and Kani salad. We both asked for extra spicy and were sadly disappointed when neither of our entrees even struck us as mildly spicy, but we do in fairness have pretty high spice tolerance. The pot stickers tasted pretty similar to what you might expect from frozen and thrown in oil dumplings and the Kani salad was also kind of disappointing and soggy. The entrees despite being sadly mild both provided excellent flavors and were very decently proportioned. I'd definitely recommend if you come here for the first time you try the chicken egg plant because it definitely was the highlight of the meal. We will definitely return and try more of the expansive menu and just explain next time that when we say extra spicy we mean, "would put most people on the floor" read more

Cross Roads Bistro - Massaman Steak - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I really like this place, the food is good and reasonably priced. I normally also have good service. However, today, I went there, sat myself as directed by the server, and proceeded to be ignored for a good ten minutes. After ten minutes goes by, another patron came in and was immediately given a menu and water. I sat another few minutes and proceeded to leave still with no acknowledgement. read more

The Pad Thai is to die for. The best I had in Cedar Rapids. The staff is polite with a smile.

Good food, nice owners, and nice atmosphere. Overall, a good choice with many options from Asian to American.

Great Thai food and egg rolls! They also have cheese burgers and fries if you're not into Asian cuisine!

Chinese and American together. It is good lots of room in there. Easy parking and handicap too.

With all the social distancing going on, this place still managed to meet all needs. They serve a very diverse menu all day. We asked the waitress for suggestions and she said "you can't go wrong!" She said to get whatever we had a taste for. We ordered yellow curry chicken, crab rangoons, egg rolls, and sesame chicken. It all tasted great! The waitress was moving like speedy gonzales, trying to meet everyone's needs. All in all, we will come back another time. We'll explore the menu some more. read more

Everything was so strange. The hot and sour soup was unlike any I've ever had (and not in a good way.) And the summer rolls were full of lettuce and carrots and not much else. Peanut sauce was weird, not good. Sesame Chicken was placed atop dry noodles, no sauce, strange taste. Must've hit it in an off night as it had many positive reviews on yelp. read more

This place is great. There were 4 of us and we all had Chinese dishes and they were all good. I highly recommend the Triple Delight!. Good food, good prices. We will go back. read more

What do I want in a restaurant I need to eat eggs I need pancakes I need Asian food I need fresh and juicy burgers. All right that's everything for throughout the day.... this restaurant has it all. Like Everything under one roof. And guess what everything taste exactly what you will expect. The cook is great in cooking. I have been to this place multiple times past couple of months. I love their Evil jungle chicken in both lunch as well as the dinner portion. My wife usually gets one vegetarian roll and red curry. I feel dumb to ask for more curry but trust me they don't give you a good amount of curry. You can buy for $2. Which I feel is a lot considering the dinner portion is huge. May be they increase the cost of the curry and not charge extra. But any who, I go back there again and again. Also another Thing I don't like is the curry needs a sealed container but they are cheap and don't give you a good to go containers but if you're dining in its nice and recommended. I will go back there anyways its a good restaurant on SW side. Also it used to be Thai moon read more

Cross Roads Bistro - Some portion of Bar & some portion of kitchen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I ordered some Thai food for takeout today and it was DELICIOUS! I'm glad they still make their Asian food from Thai Moon. It's seriously the best in Cedar Rapids! It's a rare gem to find a place that specializes in American AND Thai food. There's always a dish for someone here. My "go-to" order is always Evil Jungle Prince with chicken. The chicken with the amazing curry sauce and shredded cabbage is heaven. I haven't had it in over a year because I was gone and it's still amazing! Kudos to this place for keeping its amazing Thai food and adding on American food for a more diverse crowd! read more

We really liked Thai Moon and were looking forward to a Cross Roads Bistro. Greatly disappointed. First the atmosphere was loud, the table tops full of clutter and you couldn't read the specials board. They can't control the customers; however the people next to us were parents who were having trouble parenting their two children and another table kept calling for waitress by yelling their names. Second, we received our meals at random times. At least 15 minutes between two people being served and the third getting his meal. By the time he was served I had already sent my food back because of a very long hair. Third, no apology for serving hairy food. All in all the wait staff was not friendly and service was poor. Never asked if our drinks needed refilled, for example. We will not be back. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food here. Coming from CA, I was worried about trying out Asian food in the Midwest, especially a place that has so many different cuisines. Are they a jack-of-all-cuisines or someone who tries too hard in all only to fail at all? I ordered the green Thai curry and substituted the zucchini with Japanese eggplant. Authentic? Perhaps 80%. Delicious? Yes. The rice could have tasted more fresh and there could have been more of the curry, but otherwise I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this place as long as you go in without high expectations. Just enough expectations to find some good comfy food to fill your hungry stomach. The service was also great but we were also one of only two groups there when we arrived around 4:30pm. read more

Had never been to Cross Roads before. I had found it online and it seemed cool (at least to me) to showcase Thai and Chinese cuisine at what otherwise appears to be a typical American diner. I liked the landscaping out front, it was very warm and welcoming and the inside was the same way. Quaint, homey, and very comfortable. It is just a place that you feel comfortable being at, which is always good for a diner like this. There was four of us total, and I was very impressed with the menu. Again, the variety is a great selling point and it isn't so much that becomes overwhelming. They have mostly anything that would fit your taste on a particular day -- really fabulous. Our table got a sweet and sour stir fry with shrimp, a sesame chicken dish, an omelette, and a southwestern shipwreck. I won't speak too much for the other at my table, but there were no complaints with the food at all. From my perspective, the food was EXCELLENT. I had the shipwreck and ordered a pancake ala carte. The pancake was absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly, fluffy.. They add a touch of cinnamon which really warms up the pancake flavor-wise. And I realize shipwrecks aren't awfully complicated to execute... but again. PERFECT. I could actually taste individual ingredients which were all marvelous. Honestly.. Cross Roads Bistro had a chance at being my favorite diner in the corridor. Except the service was unacceptable. I will try to make this short and sweet because it annoys me to even think about. The waitress had brought us our checks. Came back to check on them to see if we were ready to pay maybe 2 minutes later. Half the table was clearly not ready to pay as the tickets hadn't moved and there was no money / cards with the tickets. The waitress asked anyway if the tickets were ready to be paid. Guest A in my group said that he was still waiting for more tea (as his glass had been empty for over 15 minutes by this point). The waitress obviously took extreme offense to this and became very rude and very snippy.. In a very sarcastic / rude / and almost put-out tone, she proceeded to say that he never asked for more tea and that's why the glass was empty.After a second of awkward silence, she asked Guest A if he would like more tea (which I think should have been obvious). Guest A replied, " Sure! " and the waitress retorted, "See, that wasn't very hard, was it?" Wow... Well, Guest A didn't really catch / hear this comment in it's entirety but he knew she had said something unflattering. So after she walked away to get tea, he asked the table what she said. He almost couldn't believe it.. So much so that when she came back, he asked her what she said. She proceeded to lie and pretend as if she never said anything. She never returned to the table. The other guests (one of which is over the age of 90) were then required to get up and seek out the waitress to actually pay for their meals. Look.. I know customers aren't always pleasant. I know bad days happen. But I used to be a waiter and I couldn't get away with talking to CUSTOMERS like that under any circumstances. Heck, I wouldn't even think about. Before that incident, I was REALLY excited about this location and the food they offered. I was ready to come back fairly frequently? Now? I don't really want to go back at all. What a shame. ------- EDIT: I swear, I did this before. The questionable waitress seems to be gone and all of the great things I said about the food still hold true after many visits. Please go to this location and support our local businesses. These owners truly care about the food they serve and the customers as well. FIVE STARS. read more

This was our first trip to Cross Roads, specifically to try the Chow Harlock, and we were not disappointed! The Harlock reminded us of that served at the Dragon Restaurant (CR). We also had the Kung Pao chicken, which was very good, and a bowl of hot & sour soup, which was the best I have ever had. The prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and the servers are very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning!! read more

Pleasantly surprised, when you go someplace with a very odd menu combination (sushi, Thai, Chinese, American and breakfast) can be daunting and make you question if they can do it all decently. I have been here twice, both times ordering a curry dish and was left full and pleasantly surprised. They do have a nice lunch deal around $8 which is a good amount of food. The wait staff is very nice, and there is a major sense of repeat customers. Both times I was here the main waitress knew people by name, knew drink Order and often got order correct. read more

My favorite spot in town for Chinese and Thai food, and I've tried them all! Had a delicious lunch today of Chicken Fried Rice. I love the mix with American food because they have something for everyone in a family of picky eaters! read more

I was introduced to the best basic #not so basic breakfast I've ever had. This place opens earlier than most. The employees are phenomenal and the chef came out to chat. I have nothing but respect for this place. It's unassuming and I can't wait to try their lunch and dinner. Check out the menu!!!!!!!!! My mouth is watering. read more

This was a great stop. We were searching for Thai and found a place with lots of options. Burgers for true kids. Thai for the adults. Crab Rangoon was homemade. Service was great. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place. They have an excellent variety of American and Asian food. Good breakfast food and dinner/lunch selection. We go here frequently and have enjoyed it every time. We enjoy the fact that there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is always been friendly and we look forward to going back. read more

I was so excited to find my Thai Moon favorites here. My favorite is the Evil Jungle Prince with chicken. They are well prepared and they have good variety. My son tried the breakfast portion of the menu and had a very good cinnamon roll with pancakes. read more

Maybe we came at a bad time or when a bad chef was working but the rice to my sushi was dry and hard. The noodles were clumped together for my lo main like the pre made noodles had been sitting in a container for long. Hard and stuck together. The taste was not bad but the main portion of food wasn't made well at all. Perhaps try the burgers? read more

Whoa, big surprise. Great fresh food. Highly recommend this place to eat. Burger, sushi, or thai.

We loved Thai moon and were sad when they closed. The owners reopened under Cross Roads Bistro. While they have typical American diner faire, they still have their full Thai and Chinese menu. It's a great place to eat where everyone can find something they will like. They remember us every time we come back. Great take out too. read more

We were looking for outdoor seating when we recently met up with friends in Cedar Rapids. We were pleasantly surprised that the food was good as they had a large menu with very different foods. We all enjoyed our meals and were able to enjoy the outdoors. read more

Ordered an omelet with cheese and mushrooms. It came with cheese sauce and mushrooms. No cheese on the inside, just mushrooms. I told my server I wasn't going to eat it that I ordered cheese not cheese sauce. She said okay and walked away. Then I had to go to the counter and get coffee and salt. The owners are here talking smack about us. My daughter still had a full plate and the server brought us our bill. Guess no dessert for us. I know it's tough times but that is no excuse for poor customer service. read more

The food was delicious! The peanut sauce may be the best I've ever had. It's definitely a hidden gem

This place felt very home-y and warm. The food was also great (I had the Burmese chicken curry)

Excellent Thai and American food. Local owners who do a fabulous job!.

I tried their American fare when they first opened and was not impressed, but was quite pleased when they introduced menu options from Thai Moon. The curries are great, and the egg drop soup is amazing! read more

Straight fire! Best brunch spot in the city. You can get drunk, you can get eggs benedict, you can get sushi, or basically anything you can think of. Home-cooked, and fresh food. Check it out. read more

I've been here twice and both times the food has been AMAZING! Ordered off their Thai lunch specials both times. A little off the beaten path but definitely worth it! read more

The food was so Good! I ordered the Bronco burger and it looked and tasted amazing. The fries were good but nothing special. I also heard 2 other customers while there say that their food was "delcious." I will be going back to try out the Thai food. It all looked so good from what I could see on other people's tables. The only thing I didnt enjoy was how quiet it was. I felt like I couldn't talked because there was no background music or noise at all. read more

When Thai moon left their location we were so disappointed! But then we realized they moved here. So good!!!
