I was in Iowa City for a few days, and I read good reviews of Le Gourmet. So I decided to try it…read more It was located just a short six minute walk from the Hyatt Hotel. Located in a mall, it looks unassuming. There were about 7 tables inside and many more tables on the outside in the mall. I ordered the jjampbong (seafood noodle soup), which is a common dish in Korean owned Chinese restaurants. It was delicious and spicy. I really liked how you could still taste some of the char from some of the ingredients being flash cooked in a wok before being added to the soup. I have to say this might have been my favorite experience of eating jjampbong, and I've had some really good ones in Los Angeles. I came back the following day for lunch again. This time I ordered the baby clam thin noodle soup. Another hit! The flavor of the soup base was spot on, and the clams were already taken out of the shell, which made it more convenient to eat. I would definitely order both again if I visit Iowa City again. The food and service were excellent. The owner checked up on me to make sure everything was good. I highly recommend this Korean restaurant. Who knew Korean food could be this good in Iowa?!

Seating is adequate but it wasn't busy last few times we visited. Nice staff and quiet atmosphere. Trying to find the entrance is a bit of a challenge (off the main road and at the end of South Dubuque, across the street from Graduate by Hilton). I discovered this place by accident while trying to find the library and had parked in one of the public garages (also across the street from the restaurant).

We tried their snow-aged sake this time (yes, aged in snow for three years!) and it was incredible--smooth, clean, and unlike anything else you'll find around here. As always, the sashimi was fresh, beautifully plated, and melt-in-your-mouth good. We mentioned we were celebrating a special event, and they surprised us with the cutest orange "bear" fruit carving. It's that kind of thoughtful, personal touch that makes this place unforgettable. I can never resist their Taiwanese popcorn chicken--crispy, tender, and packed with flavor--and the Three Cup Chicken tasted incredibly authentic. You can really tell this place is run by owners who care about getting it right, both in taste and presentation. Warm ambiance, kind service, and dishes that actually taste like home--Sushiya is a rare gem in the Midwest.

Sushiya, on the other hand, is the go-to spot. The flavors here are superior in every way. The seating inside is limited, but you can watch the sushi chefs working on the line, which is fun to see. It's clear they handle a lot of online orders because they were constantly busy. There's also a kitchen in the back for cooked dishes, though it's not visible from the dining area. Everything we tried was delicious, and I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. I especially enjoyed the lunch portion of the Katsu Don--it had a lot of onions, but I didn't mind. I did ask for extra spicy mayo for my two deep-fried sushi rolls, as they were a bit bland on their own. The spicy mayo seemed house-made, with far more spices than I've seen at other sushi restaurants, and it was genuinely spicy, which was a nice surprise. The restaurant itself was quiet, aside from my best friend's child having a little meltdown at the end of the meal when his food wasn't coming fast enough. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd happily return.

The tacos were everything I could ever want in a street taco served up Korean style. I'm literally…read moresalivating just thinking about it. They do a double street taco size tortilla (very helpful for the inevitable breakthrough goodies and runaway taco components) of the flour and corn varieties to appease lall eaters, pickled veggies (carrots, yellow onion and daikon) that added the perfect acidic crunch, and a perfect t spicy kimchi mayo that was a true match made in heaven. The tacos were overflowing with bulgogi beef, all of those deliciously crunchy pickled veggies, cabbage, cheese, and green onions. I also picked up some bulgogi nachos. I'm a sucker for anything bulgogi. They were pretty tasty but I wish there was more balance of the sweet ingredients to saltiness. The corn topping was really delicious but in combination with the sweet beef it needed something to cut through it like saltier chips or another topping? Or even more salty cheese to make it feel a bit nachoier? Just like the tacos the portion of nachos was also quite generous. I would say the prices were fair for what you were getting, and if you ever see this food truck in your area then GO!

The pulled pork sandwich I had was possibly the best ever, and their root beer flavored BBQ sauce is "to die for"! The catered food for our family reunion was just as good, if not better. The brisket and chicken were amazing. Also, I'm not a big corn bread guy but I knew my family would want corn bread so we had that included. Let's just say, if all corn bread tasted as good as Pop's, I might eat more corn bread. If you're in the Iowa City area, do yourself a favor and stop at Pop's!
