Iron Chef Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Longmeadow

In every town we have moved to or close to--CA, NY, IL, WI, CT, PA, MA--it is always important to find that family-owned Chinese restaurant that has: good oils, flavorful food, good selection, and classic favorites.

We found it in Longmeadow--a mere 5 miles or so from our home: Iron Chef Asian Cuisine.

It's just a humble little place in a strip center, but the service is excellent, the food, surprisingly delicious, and NO CANOLA oil for even the deep frying.

We ordered Seafood Supremo and General Tso's Tofu. My husband was delighted with his seafood, in a rich sauce with vegetables, and my tofu is my new favorite Chinese entree--since I don't eat chicken, but love General Tso flavors.

I have been craving scallion pancakes and have even tried making them, but they are not the easiest dish to make, and done right they are fabulous. So we ordered some as an appetizer, and these have to be the best I have had yet.

They deliver a complimentary orange and those little fortune cookies, and then the meal is complete.

We will now start going through the vast menu and trying other things--but these two meals were...

A really enjoyable experience! Its not the biggest inside, kind of cozy! But you are in for a nice treat as soon as you step in the door. If you are here for takeout or here to sit down you will have a good experience.

The menu has a great selection so almost anyone will be able to find something they like. Once you order the waiter will bring over a plate with a neat hand drawn fugu (Puffer fish)! Things only get better from here especially if you order an appetizer.

The crab rangoons are awesome! These are not frozen or department store ones that they just warm up. They taste hand made with delicious filling you wont find anywhere!

They have special treat for you after the meal. They take a nice juicy orange and halve it. Then they quarter the insides and sort of take the top off and make it into a bowl. This leaves you with four easy to eat & nicely presented juicy orange pieces after your meal.

The staff here are great, genuine smiles, polite, attentive without being a pain. Its a great experience and meal from the time you walk in until the...

Probably the best Chinese food in the general area (Springfield, West Springfield, Chicopee, Holyoke, Ludlow, Longmeadow, East Longmeadow. Etc Etc Etc.) They have a lot of dishes you do not see at other places, if you go here order the pea pod shoots (hard to find these unless you go to China town) some other dishes I recommend would be the Peking duck, the Chicken and Broccoli, the Mushroom Wonder, and the steamed fish with ginger and scallions. Everything I have tried here has been good, but I think these dishes stand out. My only real complaint with this place is it is very small, and it does bot take aclot to fill this place up, and it is just so tightly packed it feels like the guy at the table next to you is at your table joining you for dinner and you are nearley rubbing elbows with him ( which I do not care for) but other then that the food...
