5. Pei's Mandarin

Pei's is an excellant restaurant. It finally made me a fan of sushi. In addition, its daily buffet is great, but the star of the restaurant is the special Korean menu that you have to ask for. It is in all Korean, but the owner's wife will help you decide what to eat. It really made our stay in Cedar Rapids enjoyable.

Excellent specials. I had the lobster stuffed ravioli. Very tasty. Service was excellent and the setting was fine. Now I will lobby to keep the happy birthday gong, but dump the not ready for American Idol birthday singers.... Nice place.
