    Excellent Chinese food for being in Oelwein. Fried rice is probably the best around.

    Great food. Never thought I'd find it in little northeast Iowa. Always come here when I'm in Iowa.

    A9 Chinese Restaurant - Unspicy but delicious Mongolian beef! Super tender and tasty but be sure to tell them if you want it to be spicy!!

    We rolled into town at 7:40pm and the restaurant closes at 8pm. We were greeted warmly and we…read moreordered takeout even though the place was quite busy. 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
