Let me tell you about Uncle sun, everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. Even things that I usually do not like have surprised me with how great they are prepared. I don't know who they have in that kitchen but they are not paid enough. My only issue with the restaurant is that it's not the fastest service and the dining room is a little messy. Not dirty but cluttered. Other than that I have zero complaints. The food is fantastic the staff is kind and very welcoming....

They have the best crab rangoons hands down!
**It’s been 3 years since my original review, and I can confidently say they still have the best crab rangoons I’ve ever had in both Iowa and Illinois.

Went there for the first time and the food was great, the staff and service were excellent. We’ve been disappointed with many Chinese restaurants in the area lately but this place will be our “go to” whenever we’re in downtown Iowa City.
Highly recommended.
