    General Tso Chicken - A black plastic takeout container features General Tso's chicken, coated in a glossy sauce, with broccoli florets at the bottom. The container is placed on a speckled countertop, with a white box and a paper bag with lemon illustrations nearby, indicating a casual dining or takeout setting.

    So just received my order and when I took the first bite there was a long strand of hair in my food! Called the restaurant and was advised to call door dash! Lady the black guy that deliver the food didn't have blonde hair & he just delivers the food!!! Never ordering from this place again & too the lady who answered the phone go take some customer service classes cause you're extremely rude!!!!!

    Inedible Pu Po Po Platter.

    Gross. Expensive. $36 for three items. Pu put platter was horrible. I didn't eat it. Fried in very bad/old oil. Empress chicken tasted like old oil too. Gross. Rice was cold. Hot & Sour soup was ok. Best of the three items but still lacking. I will not return. I used to enjoy getting food from here and it was good. Not anymore, and it appears that I'm not the only one who has received really bad food. EDIT: Went back and they made something different for us. Fried rice. Mongolian beef. Egg drop soup. Still the worst Chinese I've ever had. I returned all if it. Enjoy my $36. You fucking need it. Much more than I do.

    A close-up image of cooked vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, placed in a black container. The vegetables appear to be steamed or boiled, with visible textures and colors. The image emphasizes the fresh appearance of the vegetables, which are arranged in a casual manner.

    Garbage food! Bland with no flavor and look as if it's covered in water, rude service. Never again don't go!

    Double (?) order of Sesame Chicken (one dish was missing, perhaps an extra order of SC instead) and crab Rangoon. So delicious! - The photo depicts a takeout meal consisting of two cardboard boxes of sweet and sour chicken with sauce, a container of white rice, and other food packaging in the background. The sweet and sour chicken pieces are coated in sauce, and the rice appears plain. The setting suggests a casual dining or takeout environment.

    Ting's is the only place for Chinese food is the CR/Marion area. I've tried about all the rest, they are all garbage! Ting's arrived fresh and hot. I ordered through GrubHub she unfortunately did not receive the Beef Lol Mein I ordered which is the only reason I couldn't give 5 stars. The Sesame Chicken is delicious. The sauce is savory and smooth. I do kinda wish they served it with some nice stalks of broccoli though...and maybe a bit more white rice to go with the massive serving of entree! The Crab Rangoons... Also seasoned beautifully. They appear to be homemade rather than fried from frozen.

    Take out

    Came in last night. Still love their food. We got egg rolls which were more like spring rolls , crab Rangoon , Mongolian beef (which my spouse said was the best ever that he had ) , sweet and sour chicken, and mei fun. Mei fun isn't described well on the menu. What is it? It's rice noodles with brown sauce, crisp cooked onions , cabbage , carrots , and a meat of your choice. I love it but I found theirs with hardly any meat and veggies. So I'd give the flavor 5 but the over all 4 because it was mainly seasoned noodles.

    Sesame Chicken - Pieces of sesame chicken with a glossy sauce and broccoli florets are shown in a takeout container. The dish appears to be a Chinese-style entrée, featuring battered chicken and vegetables in a savory sauce.

    Favorite Chinese restaurant in Cedar Rapids. I recommend the S&S chicken. Crab Rangoon's and hot and sour soup are also great.

    I ordered my meal from Ting's after good reviews from a coworker but I was not overly amazed. Food was good it just didn't rock my world.

    I've been coming to Panda Linn for quite a while, and it never disappoints. The food is…read moreconsistently fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic -- you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. This isn't your standard "takeout Chinese" spot; the flavors are balanced, portions are generous, and the quality is excellent every single time. Panda Linn is easily one of the best authentic restaurants in Cedar Rapids, and it's the kind of place you look forward to going back to again and again as I have multiple times!

    On the way through town and through Google search and reviews went here. There are three tables…read moreinside. Let me first say they were very friendly and said hi right away and took our orders. Food very good. I would get this take out all the time if I lived there. The one downside as another reviewer said is not very clean. I got wet paper towels from restroom and wiped the table down as it had grease remnants from last person. The restroom needs a serious cleaning. There is a full size ladder in there, that is what the toilet paper sits on a rung. Which is what they have been stepping on with their shoes! The sink and toilet were not clean. There is also a storage tub on wheels in there with a giant pack of toilet paper sitting in it. Taking up room. Two wall soap dispensers, one must be broken and is black with dirt. No note on it so one tries that one first. It should be removed. The second one itself the outer soap dispenser is also black and very dirty. A little soap came out. The door is very hard to shut. The light switch is covered in built up dirty grime. Basic restaurant rules is if the bathroom is clean they keep the kitchen clean. I am hoping the owners read this and get the restroom cleaned and scrubbed. It certainly gave me pause to try the food but we had already ordered. Like I said the food was great, crab Rangoons were great. It's hard to say it was just this day because the build up in the restroom was more than a few months worth. Service and food were very good so that's the reason for four stars. Fried rice we thought was very good.

    OG Review (02/28) (updates below) The folks on the SW side…read morejust fire off missile after missile out of that kitchen. Found this new dish tonight. Spicy Sesame Cold Noodles. Unreal. Tried the Shanghai Style Spring rolls for the first time. Couple of mini tomahawks showed up in that wax paper bag. I mean I'm over here looking at a maki roll with pieces of tuna so big it looks like they wrapped a roll of nickels in rice and nori. Their level of quality is has gotten so high I'm not sure they're capable of making a mistake let alone a bad dish. 03/08 Update New week. New order from the folks on the SW side. I've admittedly had this arrow in my quiver for a while but can't drop another review too soon and throw exclusive vibes. Don't get me wrong I have strong feelings but I am also low-key into Pho House. What can I say? I guess I'm a House guy. Anyhow, had an eye doctor appointment down the street (shoutout Dr. Fitz. SW side legend in the eye health space) so it was no brainer takeout time. Snuck the order in quick after battling through the little air puff machine. Food was ready in 20 minutes. Somehow you can get speed, quality, and value under one roof. It's immaculate. Since we're here it's probably the right time to discuss depth because this menu has a lot of it. In the interest of transparency I did have the Tuna Maki roll again. I have it every time. It's simple and it's beautiful. If you're the reading type and get deep enough into the menu you'll find the find Pad Thai. You might be thinking to yourself, "Are they really this agile?!" If you asked I think you already know the answer to the question. Order the Pad Thai. Trust me. And while you're at it grab a Shrimp Tempura roll, too. The eel sauce will have you in your feelings after one bite.

Not to mention that the interior atmosphere is ideal, with seating set up in smaller sections spread throughout the restaurant. I cannot recommend enough.
