“Picked up order, and the packaging is so nice and warm my food was still super fresh and hot when I got home. The chili oil is so good and the veggies and noodles I got was amazing! My sister got the noodles with braised beef… so tender and lots of flavor! Will be back time and time again!“
“The egg rolls still have our hearts (and stomachs) but the Pho was absolutely delicious!!! The depth of flavor was amazing! The kiddos loved "making" their own pho bowls with the assorted toppings and our family devoured it! Do yourself a favor and order some of their wonderful food ASAP!! Egg roll Ladies - Thank you for such a wonderful family meal!!“
“Friendly greeting immediately upon arriving, interest in how my day was going and name was a higher priority even than the food order!Sam was amazing and I was blown away at the service. Some regulars came in and there were exclamations of joy!Oh, and the food was fantastic. You can stop looking for other places to eat and come here!Support a hardworking small business while enjoying an awesome atmosphere and good food.“
“In a few strip malls, you can find some gems. The decor may be minimal, but the food and service is what counts. I ordered Original Thai Tea served as a canned drink, A Small Cup of Egg Drop Soup with loads of ingredients besides the Egg Drop, 2 Egg Rolls, and a Plethora of Pad Thai Chicken which can serve four people. Each dish was served piping hot, delectably delicious with a wealth of favors. This is a local family business you should put on your to try list.“
“I feel that this place is super good to go to eat, the food there is super good and when something runs out they put it out very quickly, the service is excellent, they serve you very quickly you ask questions like a guy. If you take children to that place they ask you how old they are and what you are going to order for drinks and well if you don't have children or they don't take you to that place they only ask you the other thing and even though the place gets very full, that's normal but from there everything is excellent.“
“This place is the best. We are from Minneapolis and when we travel we ALWAYS stop here.The flavors are super fresh. There is no strange after taste or muddy flavors. I recommend this place to everyone.I try a new item each time. I have never been disappointed.Good sized portions. Many items can be shared.Regarding spices: mild is medium, medium or hot, hot is blazing. Sometimes we discuss it more so we get the levels set.The staff are very accommodating.This is located in a newer multi-tenant building. It is super clean and nicely decorated. They have a sizeable bar room with a couple of large screen TVs (in case you want to ignore your dinner companions).Vegetarian options: This place defines most items as vegetarian or vegan (no special notes) and you add meat or tofu as you wish. I get the fried tofu. It is soft and delicious. I can't say if all sauces are vegan, you need to ask that.I lived as a vegan for 18 months. This place was never an issue for me.Dietary restrictions: See vegetarian optionsParking: Parking surrounds the building. We have never had an issue for dinner. Except the year kids crashed the place for prom.“
“If you're in the mood for 'Chinese ' this is one of the best around. Alway super friendly staff and fast and fresh service!!! The Crab ragoons are addicting! And if you want the real Mc Coy of hot mustard, ask for the homemade stuff. It'll clear your sinuses right up!!! We have never ordered a meal we didn't love!!! Not only that , the prices are unbeatable!!!“
“Been to Wasabi a couple of times since they moved to their new location in Johnston. Love the ambience, food is great and staff is friendly. I sit up at the bar and Tyler always makes sure I'm taken care of and offers great conversation and suggestions. I love the spicy Mexico roll and the Gyudon (comfort food). These are both pictured.“
“Having lived in a lot of big cities including Los Angeles and Dallas I've had a lot of Dim Sum, and I gotta say it's pretty rare to find one this good that makes their food by hand. Everything we've tried here is delicious, and the price is so reasonable for the amount of food that my husband and I came here for our fifth anniversary.The fried dumplings are filled with hand chopped meat and so flavorful. The shrimp dumplings with chive are delicious. I'm pretty sure my husband could eat 100 char siu baozi and never get sick of them. Everything they make has a lot of care put into it, and as someone whose has made a lot of these dishes growing up myself I can tell you they require skill and knowledge to get right. This is why a lot of places just use frozen premade foods reheated in the steamers.The restaurant itself doesn't look the nicest, but look past that and give it a try when they're serving dim sum and you won't regret it.“
“This place is awesome! Their food is spectacular, piping hot fresh and delicious as soon as it comes tonyour table! Pricing is average for the type of restaurant that it is. The service is great as well. Kindof a mom and pop place of Asian cuisine. Best hot and sour soup of any Chinese restaurant that I've been to. Usually doesn't take more than 10 minutes for my order and timing is important for me because I work for fedex and need to hurry up and eat and get back to delivering packages. I have gut issues and most chinese food has me running to the bathroom in about an hour after consuming it, but I've never had that problem here. I will keep coming back whenever I'm in the area! The only downside I can think of is the parking lot is tiny.“
“We love finding a good local Chinese restaurant. Panda Express and P.F. Chang's have are fine, but nothing beats the authentic taste and nostalgia of local Chinese restaurants. We have been going to this place for several years and they always satisfy us. The interior is cozy and small, and the business is owner-operated. They have a separate traditional menu that is worth trying, but also worth gate keeping. It features Korean-Chinese fusion dishes that are delicious and unique. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. Our orders are usually so hot from the wok that we have to wait a few minutes before digging in. The owners and staff are very friendly, and the service is extremely fast. The number of local Chinese restaurants in the city has dwindled over the past decade, so finding a little gem like this is a treat for us whenever we crave some freshly cooked Chinese food.“
“I was skeptical when I first pulled into the parking lot, but Le’s has become my favorite Chinese restaurant in Des Moines. I enjoy seeking out Chinese food since moving to Iowa, but Le’s has become just one of two restaurants whose flavors remind me of home (the other being Szechuan House in Iowa City).“
“The food is always great and they have a lot of delicious gluten free options! I brought some friends with last night and they loved the food and said they'd definitely be going back for more! Prices are reasonable too!Dietary restrictions: A lot of gluten free options!“

“The food is amazing, the atmosphere is awesome, and the only real issue is cross-contamination in the sauces and when being cooked. I don't mind a little spicy, but when my sauce and another person's sauce merge together and it gets left like that to cook if theirs is too spicy it bothers me and I'm sure that the other person might not like my sauce mix either. All in all, it's still an epic place to eat.“

“Took trips through today. I won’t need to eat again today. ?Service was fantastic! She made sure we didn’t have an empty glass.Food was great as usual. Always fun to watch the food cook. Those guys rock!Great experience today and highly recommended.“
“Fawn's is one of the top restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining at. The quality of the food is consistently impressive, with fresh ingredients, visually appealing presentation, delightful aroma, and superb taste. Furthermore, the restaurant maintains a high standard of cleanliness and showcases a welcoming atmosphere.I must also commend the staff at Fawn's for their exceptional service. They demonstrate professionalism and kindness throughout the dining experience.I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate Fawn's and the remarkable experience it offers.“
“I’ve been a regular here for the last year. Their egg rolls are some of the best in town. The beef and brisket Pho is easily the best in town as well. I will try other Thai/Pho restaurants, but always find myself disappointed it doesn't live up to Aroy Dee.“
“I've only Doordashed, but food is good. The other person talking about the food making a mess was wrong. Either they've fixed the issue, or it was a dasher issue. My food came in a large thick paper bag with cardboard bottom & food in separate closed containers. Food like Orange Chicken comes with rice, so you don't need to order a side of rice“
“Friends visiting offered to go grab lunch and asked what I wanted. The wife called in our order and the husband drove to get it. The 3 of us agreed it was fast and delicious but not too heavy that we felt stuffed. We will definitely return here. YUM!“
“This place has the best “Pot Stickers” in Des Moines! So friendly and hardworking! They offer so many different meats and veggie dumpling combinations! My favorite are the pork with Napa cabbage, but my mother prefers the chicken and Napa cabbage! Make sure you get them with the crunchy chili oil! You’ll find them at the Valley Junction Farmer’s Market on Thursday evenings, the Downtown Farmer’s Market in Des Moines on Saturday mornings, as well as Kitchen Spaces in the Drake Neighborhood on Sunday nights!“
“We tried this place for the 1st time on Saturday. I've been passing it up on the way home from work and finally gave it a try. The food was so flavourful the portion size was perfect but my only complaint was that my dumplings were burnt. But most definitely coming back!“
“I'm glad a friend told me about this place. I'm not from around here and needed something that would make me feel at home, food I was familiar with. Food just like how I have at home. The papaya even had carrots like my moms. The Waitresses were very nice and accommodating. I recommend going here if you're missing home and need a little good old home cooking. Or just go because the food is great and staff are super awesome. Thanks for helping me feel like I was back at home!“
“I picked up carryout from Shang Yuen yesterday and it was great. I called ahead and my food was ready in less than 10 minutes. (I would have tried the website ordering but it requires a login to order which is reasonable, I just didn't have time.) When I got there the counter service was excellent and the lady who helped me was happy to help me.I got Hot Braised Chicken (5 stars spicy) and it was perfect. The meat quality was good and not stringy. My food was still (temperature) hot when I sat down to eat. It had a ton of the entree and even came with 2 crab rangoons. I also got an order of crab rangoons and they were great too. I shared the crab rangoons with coworkers and they enjoyed them as well.I look forward to going back!“
“Got here right when the opened. Service is fast, food is great and speedy! They had about 15 people come in right behind us and every one had their food within 10 minutes. Within 20 minutes of being open. They really know what they are doing. Everyone is friendly too!Definí check them out!“
