I love this place. It's carry out only but it's so yummy. They always give us a free order of fried donuts with my order. You also get SO MUCH food. I literally have 4 meals worth of food. Definitely give it a try! read more

Long Xing - Chicken with Cashew Nuts - Chinese Near Me - Iowa City, Iowa

Long Xings did it again! Alas, it was a Sunday night and I really, really did not want to cook. Add to that, Chinese just sounded amazing. I popped online and ordered like 30lbs of food for under $75. It was correct, made fresh, and ready on time! Pricing is right, too, as the entrees are pretty hefty. I stand by my last review. BEST. CHINESE. TAKEOUT. SPOT. Our order last night included: rangoons, vegetable rolls, egg drop soup, sesame chicken, orange chicken, mongolian beef, fried rice, white rice and lo mein. Perfection. Oh, and they threw in some free fried donuts with our order! Lots and lots of leftovers. My only qualm with Long Xing's is they don't deliver and its not really a 'eat in' type of spot. Get carryout at this IC staple today. read more

Decided to try this place about 2 weeks ago. Ordered General Tso's Chicken, it was delicious. Fried Pot stickers were very, very good. Pork fried rice was good as were the noodles. Crab Rangoon also very good. read more

Great spot for authentic Chinese food. everything this fresh and delicious. will be returning read more

Pretty pricey but I got 3 meals out of it soooo, it's worth the price! Great tasting food and perfectly cooked, shrimp was not overcooked like I've had at other places. Would recommend long xing for delicious food. read more

This is one of our favorite Chinese locations near us. The portion sizes are huge, and we usually split the lunch special. Plus, they also have bao buns that were amazing! read more

The Kung pao chicken was very tough, unlike previous times we have ordered this. I had the impression the quality of the meat was lower.

Long Xing still has my number. At least once a month we're treating ourselves to their delicious menu (more often during the winter months because they're on my comfort foods list). I've branched out to try a few new-to-me things since my last review, but it's hard to not order my favorites. Because the business is so kind, we've received (and eaten) more donuts than I care to admit! We spend at least $40 on food each time we visit and leave a good tip. Online ordering is easy and if the restaurant has any questions about your order, they will call. Super friendly staff. I think the dining room is still closed, but don't let that stop you from returning or trying Long Xing for the first time. read more

Best Chinese takeout in town! I've tried multiple things and they're all so good! Eat flavor and portion sizes. Only takeout (no dine in!) they also have steamed buns/baos for sale but I don't think you can order them online (only for call in) read more

This place is now my go to when I visit my parents. Everything they do, they do well. Take out is always nicely packaged, the portions are great, but the flavors top the bill! The staff in the front are always happy and friendly, and it seems they are busy no matter what time you go in. This was both my daughters first time trying them and they loved it. We will probably order again before we fly home. read more

Very good Chinese Food. I ordered the shrimp lo mein. It was ready in ten minutes. I highly recommend this place

Spectacular NYC style Chinese take out food, right down to the mind-boggling affordable prices. This is the fare I grew up with in CT, and if we had one like them where we live out West, I would order from them every other day. Egg Fu Yong is the stuff of legend, with huge chunks of roast pork and vegs, and thankfully with the gravy on the side (I prefer potsticker sauce over it). Massive sausage filled wontons in the Wonton Soup, and fantastic hand made Fried Dumplings. They check every single box for Chinese food that I love. I hate you Iowa City... read more

Take out only. Friendly service that has maintained COVID boundaries from the public with a barrier between kitchen and public space. Lunch specials are delicious, very large serving size and include a can of pop ( soda). 2 entrees. Rice: $7.55. LoMein $8.49. Of note: will be closed 10/2/23 thru 10-28-23 for traditional purposes. read more

Great Chinese food at very reasonable prices. We love the egg rolls, chicken rice soup, and general tao chicken. There is not seating to eat in. This is a pickup only restaurant. They are friendly and very reasonably priced. The fried food is crispy and fresh and the portions are generous. read more

Great food - and I mean really good. Lo Mein and moo shoo pork like I haven't had since I live in California many years ago. Ready for pick-up on time. Can't wait to eat here again. read more

I will absolutely drive the 30 minutes to get food from here in the future. If you are craving crazy good Chinese food while supporting a small business in your community then you have made the right choice!! My friends and I picked up several entrees, fried rice, lo mein, and crab rangoons for a little painting party that we did. And boy did this place deliver in deliciousness. They were so kind for throwing in scallion pancakes (not pictures) and fried donuts for free. But the most jaw dropping part of all, all of the food we got was under $100. How?!?! By serving up great tasting food at such an affordable price they sure got my attention and I know where I'll be going every time that Chinese food craving! I savored every bite and there was enough food for all of us to take home and get another meal (or two) out of the leftovers. They also so thoughtful for calling me to ask if I wanted chow mein or lo mein. Because the former would've just been vegetables and the latter actually had noodles. Most places would've just made the order as is but they went out of their way to verify. How incredibly considerate! Please, for the love of amazing Chinese food, do yourself a favor and order Chinese take out from Long Xing! read more

There is no lunch buffet, it is carry out .... If you are looking for a sit down experience, don't bother

Love this place for carry out. Service is great and food tasty. Their menu is abundant. Not much for ambiance as they don't have many tables for dining in, but I still like their food a lot. read more

For Americanized fast Chinese food --- this place is it. Everything we have ordered from here is good -- with a few things being outstanding. With Covid, call ahead and place an order. When you go to pick up, they have one of the safest experiences around. A large plexiglass separates you and those working at the restaurant and you you can tell that they took the pandemic and customer/staff safety seriously. The beef chow mein is really delicious. The noodles are soft, the beef is juicy and the fried egg is delicious. Not too many vegetables which is just fine by me lol. The egg drop soup is a winner. I add some fresh ground pepper before digging in -- plenty of egg to soup ratio and the soup base is rich and satisfying. I could literally pour into a to-go mug and drink this everyday. The shrimp fried rice is also really good. Big juicy shrimp -- could've used some more fried egg though. You must get the crab Rangoon -- the filling is out of this world good. Creamy, crabby and umami in one bite. If you get the sweet and sour chicken, know that you'll have leftovers for days. They fill the container up and the quality of the chicken is really good -- although I like dark chicken (which is what I think they use). All In All This is the place to go when you crave American Chinese food. Fair prices, huge portions and super satisfying read more

As you read reviews hopefully you see a few things: 1: Servings are huge and seem to serve 3-4. 2: Carry out only 3: The price is very reasonable. I see why they consistently get high ratings! We always enjoy the crab Rangoons and shrimp lo mein. read more

Best quick Asian food I've had in the area! Had low expectations and was surprised by the quality, quantity, and attentiveness! read more

Try the scallion pancakes...my new favorite thing. Not a pancake...more like a fried flour tortilla with green onions...enjoy

We waited over 25 minutes for just two bowls of soup. She kept waiting on everybody behind us. I am not happy with this restaurant. It should never take 20 to 30 minutes to get soup!! I won't be coming back here again. read more

Meh... that's all I can say. Well, I guess the food was hot. Place had a bunch of good reviews, but here's a real one. Took about 25 minutes to get the food, took about 3 minutes to decide I don't want to eat no more. read more

Excellent food. I was expecting a sit down restaurant, but was greeted to take out only I would definitely go back next time. I am in Iowa city. read more

The incorrect order was delivered and it came from Panda Express. Never again Food was cold read more

Wonderful food, spicy dishes were spicy and tasty and the non spicy dishes had great flavor. I had Mongolian chicken, hot and sour soup, and mixed vegetables. The hidden delight is dessert. I got the raspberry and coconut cakes. What a fantastic surprise!! Light, sweet, and delicious!! Service was perfect answered all my questions. I got take out so ambiance was not an issue. read more

Food is good! For the price it charges, the portion is not bad at all. Will definitely be coming back.

A ton of Delicious food. Unless you have a hearty appetite you could split an entree. Spicy dishes could be spicier for my taste but overall really good food for reasonable price. read more

We had spring rolls , sweet and sour chicken and Singapore noodles -everything was superb ... loved it all and the prices where also amazing ( im from MD ) Galia Ron read more

The food was excellent. It's unfortunate you can't sit down and eat here. My kids and I aren't from around here so we ate in the car. Seeing how many reviews this place had, we had to stop on in. Since moving in to Iowa. This has been the best Asian cuisine I have been able to find. The egg rolls are massive and so tasty. The lo mein was good. Missing some sauce for flavor and texture. The orange chicken is nice and crunchy. The egg drop soup was missing some flavor for me. But over all good. I would wait on trying to eat the soup first. It was scorching hot. Literally burned the roof of my mouth. The fried rice is so good. First time seeing yellow fried rice. The beef and broccoli was great. Definitely would have appreciated the broccoli to be cooked longer. I prefer my broccoli soft and crunchy. This was more like Panda Express crunchy. But. Maybe next time I can just ask for it to be well done? Any how the white rice was also nice and fluffy. I truly mean it when I say finding good ethnic food is so hard to come across in the entire state. This was the best I've had in MONTHS!!! read more

Long Xing is my go-to Chinese takeout in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area. Conveniently located off Highway 1 and Riverside Drive across from Fin & Feather, it's clean, fresh, fast, and offers great sized portions. The Black Pepper Chicken with Broccoli is my favorite meal when I can't decide from the expansive menu. You can even order online, but by phone is just as easy. The staff is always friendly and attentive to your meal changes. Other favorites include: * Sesame Chicken with white rice * General Tso's Chicken with fried rice * Vegetable Lo Mein * Spring rolls read more

We ordered general tso's and orange chicken for our entrees and they were your standard Chinese take out. They were good, generous portions, well-sauced and great flavor. For our sides we did crab Rangoon and steamed potstickers which in my opinion were the highlight of the meal. The Rangoon was very good and the potstickers were perhaps the best I've ever had. I will also say the portions were very generous for the price. In a time where everyone is charging more and giving less, it was nice to buy a meal where you walk away feeling that you definitely got your money's worth. It is still take-out-only. There is no seating in the restaurant, so keep that in mind. I will probably stop by again to try more entrees and, if for nothing else, the Rangoon and steamed potstickers. They were sold out of the steamed buns, which was what we came for, but that just tells me they must be good! We'll find out next time. read more

My fiancé and I LOVE Long Xing! We are regulars and will continue to visit often. The food is awesome and they have the best crab rangoons in the area! They are very COVID safe and have a large menu. My dog loves how often we go since he is spoiled and gets his own fortune cookie. read more

If you're looking for excellent Chinese takeout for a great price, look no further. Long Xing is in a strip mall a few stores down from La Regia, another hole-in-the-wall restaurant with exceptional food, so it's no surprise that this place provides amazing food in massive quantities (we're talking leftovers on leftovers) for incredible prices. My husband wanted to celebrate his birthday last night with takeout, and we decided to change it up with our usual Chinese takeout place, and I'm so glad we did. For starters, I'm used to struggling to find good vegetarian options that aren't just "here's some noodles/rice and veggies, sans meat." I'm pretty sure my entire week was made when I realized that Long Xing offered sesame tofu! The tofu itself was well prepared if a bit difficult to chew, which I blame on the difficulty of getting the coating to stick on tofu (versus, say, chicken). The serving size was HUGE. Seriously I'm going to be eating tofu for days. Other than the tofu, we went a little overboard with our dinner -- shrimp lo mein, veggie fried rice, egg rolls, spring rolls, and of course some fried donuts. First, I'll point out that I added a side dish of veggie fried rice to my tofu, and it was just as large as a small order of rice, so it's cheaper to order it as a side with your main dish versus ordering it separately. Second, the egg rolls and spring rolls were both PHENOMENAL, and the spring roll is the perfect option for vegetarians (packed with flavor and tasting oh so fresh). Finally, the fried donuts. My husband ordered them out of curiosity, but they were the cherry on top of a perfect meal. Plus you get TEN of them. TEN. They're exactly what you want in a donut -- coated in sugar, light and fluffy, with that oily flavor that harkens back to a funnel cake. I had to stop at three of them. I could have eaten all ten. Other than the food, which itself made for a five-star meal, we were so impressed by their COVID-19 setup. They've literally constructed a plexiglass wall with cutouts to pass food and payment back and forth, so there's no direct contact between staff and customer. It's brilliant and, considering how much business they undoubtedly get, it makes for a real sense of safety, which is a nice change of pace right now. So what are you waiting for?! read more

Very good and never disappoints! Always ready and correct order. Not open on Mondays. read more

If you like shrimp, you need to try this place. I'm not sure how they get it so tender and juicy, but I love it. Their noodles are great, too. Also get the donuts, but eat them fast before they cool off. read more

A "hole-in-the-wall" spot that knows how to make some bangin' chinese food! I live near here and my friends and I call an order for takeout, drive 3 minutes to the restaurant, and it's ready when we get there. The honey chicken and sweet/sour chicken are the best (imo) and the portion sizes are HUGE. Like they last two or three meals! The 4/5 stars is because sometimes the food is lukewarm and the guy who puts the sauce on has a lead hand. Overall, this spot has cheap, delicious chinese food and the employees are very efficient and friendly! P.S I recommend going between the hours of 11:00-1:00pm or after 8:00pm because they offer a $5 meal deal that's nice on the wallet! read more
