Z'marik Noodle Cafe - Iowa City

Wow! This restaurant was incredible and surprisingly affordable! My husband, daughter, and I had dinner, drinks, and dessert for just a little over $20! We made a fantastic choice during our quick travel through Iowa.

This restaurant serves some of the best noodles in the area. I have been here many times and the food quality is consistently excellent. I especially recommend trying the buffalo chicken Mac.

The service, ambiance, and food at this restaurant are excellent. It was exactly what I was looking for. Five stars from me.

We ordered Buff chicken mac n cheese, alfredo, penne pasta and fajita rice. I had gone there by the tempting pictures and reviews. Honestly the cheese in each one of them was awfully bitter. The taste of old, expired or cheap cheese was very irritating. We just left almost half of them untouched.

Not terrible but not good. I ordered the jalapeño bacon mac and cheese. The cheese was valveta cheese which I think they should tell you beforehand to save you from the bad taste of cheap ingredients.
