    the front of a restaurant with a sign reading read reviews from other customers they will try to scam you by charging more

    BEWARE OF SCAMS! THEY WILL TRY TO SCAM YOU WITH THEIR PRICING! As mentioned in several other reviews, they'll overcharge customers and demand more money than what was on the menu. I attempted to order an item that was listed as 11.99 on the menu, but when it came time to swipe my card, the total came out to be around 16 dollars before tips. When I confronted them about this discrepancy, they pointed to a tiny sticker on one of the pages of the menu, indicating a $3 adjustment added to all prices. This practice is clearly a scam. If you have fallen victim to their deceptive tactics, I recommend contacting your credit card company to request a chargeback. Also please consider contacting your district attorney if you have been a victim of their scam.

    Probably the worst Chinese food I've ever had. There was also an open sewer grate in the women's bathroom.

    Rude lady at the counter has an attitude. Food is not good enough to have to deal with that when you're just trying to order food

    They don't know how to cook Chinese food properly. This is an American Chinese food restaurant.

    Worst Chinese restaurant I have ever tried. Ordered triple vegetable and orange chicken, pricey and terrible tasting.

    I'd give it a 3.5 start but will round up do to it being locally owned…read more I wanted delivery on a weekday. I scoured for a new Chinese spot (since my favorite doesn't actually deliver). I came across Best China that does in-house delivery. Perfect. Plus, I could order online. We ordered a plethora of appetizers. (The rangoons were a fam fav.) As well as the sweet and sour chicken. (Another hit, especially with the kiddos.) The only thing I will say that we would never order again would be the dumplings. You can order online, which I love. I did so and got to choose when I wanted it delivered. I entered my credit card information... but for whatever reason it didn't register that I wanted to pay that way and I ended up having to pay cash. (Don't get me wrong, I like that they have that option for people-- just wasn't expecting it at the time.) Overall, this is a solid spot on the East side of Iowa City. This spot has been serving up tasty dishes for over a decade now-- that has to count for something! If you want to try something new, Best China is a great option.

    There are a lot of Chinese restaurants of similar price and menu throughout the Iowa City area, but…read morethis is the best for lunch. Best China does not charge you an extra fee should you not exceed a specific dollar amount when using a card. A Crab Rangoon is included as part of the lunch. They're also sensitive to the working clientele, and had the food ready quickly (under 10 minutes ) with whole meal taking 25 minutes. I left feeling full, happy, and relaxed. I made it back to the office quickly and ready to have a good afternoon. If I didn't normally bring my lunch I would be here more often. Next time: the snap peas that came with my lunch were bursting with flavor. Should I return, I will definitely find a dish that highlights that ingredient or perhaps I will just ask for extra. I will be back again, hopefully sooner than later.
