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!

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.
