-This place has the best pork lo mein i’ve ever tasted and its responsible for the star rating i give. If you like a dry lo mein, theirs isn’t that, it’s exactly the opposite and packed with an almost saucy lo mein flavor. Have had “takeout pork lo mein” in a handful of states from a few dozen restaurants and i’d personally put theirs at spot 1 out of all i’ve tried(maybe roughly 30 chinese takeout places tried atp).
-Chicken on a stick was cooked perfect with a simple mild flavor that isn’t overly glazed like some other places. Among my fav takeout chicken on a stick that i’ve tried.
-Wonton soup broth was delicious, but the wontons were pretty meh. Kinda bland slightly tough meat and the wrap/skin felt slightly overthick. Were also massive and thusly hard to eat
-Fried pork dumplings were meh
-Shrimp roll + pork egg rolls were both rather lacking in meat and the ends were a tad overfried.
*Edit: chicken and rice soup was pretty good and the chicken + broccoli was “decent”*
Have never once had food from a chinese takeout place that can do more than a few things on their menu to my liking so we weren’t too dissatisfied even considering the complaints.

This is not a dine in. They have 1 table by the door and drinks are limited to water and coke. Food was good. We were passing thru, so would not make a detour to go back!

Chicken was burnt. Couldn’t even bite into it, it was so hard and dry. Rice and chicken tasted like burnt old grease. Do not recommend. This is my second time eating there with similar quality food.

We love this restaurant. They are always super quick and the food is flavorful. We used to go to a different Chinese restaurant but haven’t went to that restaurant since we tried Iron Chef.

I know expectations for quality of chicken aren’t high at a place like this, but this chicken was the worst quality I’ve experienced. Mostly fried batter and no real signs of anything that resembles chicken.

I ordered chicken fried rice with vegetables and ask for bok choy and extra peas. I was lucky to find any peas at all. I paid $10 for a box of rice.

Iron Chef is by far the most authentic Chinese take out that I have found in Lexington. You can tell that the food served is prepared with care by wonderful chefs. Always flavored to perfection. They also have some of the kindest staff. Always polite and well mannered. Service was also very fast! You can definitely tell that they care about their customers. If you go try the Crab Rangoon! They are amazing!

Gross. First time ordering. Lo mein was all dark brown, you couldn’t even tell what you’re eating. Beef was a weird consistency, kind of mushy. Not good. Fried dumplings were definitely old, sitting out. It was very fast. But I didn’t want to eat the food. Never again.
