Korean Restaurants in Cedar Rapids

“Grabbed the berry salad with the strawberry vinaigrette, and the strawberry vinaigrette is fire like I wanted to drink it“

“I was waiting for my car to be ready for pickup at a friend’s mechanic shop and I walked into SuYu Pei on 16th Ave SW for lunch at 1:15 today (Thursday) and was greeted immediately and told I could sit wherever I’d like. Not even 20 seconds later my waiter, Leo, showed up and told me about the lunch specials: For $10, you can choose from a large list of lunch items, each including an entree, side of rice, and a cheese Rangoon! He could tell I was stuck with all of the choices so he asked me what kinds of things I normally liked and recommended his favorite dish, so that’s what I chose. I ordered the Sichuan with chicken, but you can also order it with beef, shrimp or tofu. I’m not lying when I say the food came out, piping hot, in about three minutes. Anyone who knows me knows I love sauce. I didn’t have to get any extra sauce for this bad boy, it was sauuuuucy! 😍 The white rice was nice and sticky, the way it’s supposed to be, and the cheese Rangoon was crispy on the edges and soft and all the way filled in the middle. Leo was so knowledgeable about the menu and fun to talk to, not to mention quick at noticing and asking for refills or if I needed anything else. I even found out that we knew a lot of the same people and we talked and laughed about that fact for a few minutes. After he brought me a box for the rest of my food, I told him my car was getting worked on at a shop nearby so I might sit a while longer if that was ok, and he looked concerned and told me the area wasn’t super great for walking and asked me if I needed a ride back to the shop! Talk about customer service! I’m currently still sitting in the booth at SuYu Pei, but if I didn’t want to be, I could be in and out in 20 minutes easily. With the amazing customer service, super tasty food, and quick delivery times, If you’re looking for somewhere to stop on your lunch break, this is definitely the place!“
