Good food. Staff were friendly. It’s pricier than I remember. The food was delicious, but the portion was rather small. It’s lunch but after the meal I was still hungry. They used to have big servings, but it’s been awhile since I’ve been back. However, I recommend it for the friendly staff and clean eaterie.

My wife and I continue our ongoing search for a good Chinese restaurant in Des Moines, and have come away disappointed yet again. It wasn’t horrible, but the food was nothing special and the service kind of sucked. Definitely not recommended for vegetarians like my wife.

I ordered angry catfish with 3 flavor sauce and papaya salad with chicken wings combo. (Both items at level 4 spicy). They forgot my sticky rice but everything else was present. The flavorings is on point with the fish and chicken both extra crispy. The papaya has the expected funky scent but is not off-putting. Everything was delicious. Prices were lightly higher than expectation, but I think it aligns with the current environment so I can’t complain too much.

Loved the seafood phó. The broth was absolutely delicious came with a green plate, full of bean sprouts, limes, and green leaves. Very small space, so it was more intimate. Server was distracted, but meant well, so 11/10, not her fault lol . Egg rolls were awesome

We had a little bit of trouble finding the place but no big deal. BF had the Pho Special which he enjoyed. I had a small wonton soup, the broth was delicious. Also ordered the chicken lo mein and loved that it had the authentic chargrilled taste that I love. I added a bit of sweet and sour to it and it was perfect!

One of my favorite asian restaurants with tons of variety and very good food, wish there was a little less green peppers in their dishes (soups you cant ask to leave out) . Favorites include beef jerky with sticky rice, pad thai and orange chicken. They also let you BYOB, and even provided wine glasses and opener.

Quaint, casual dining area. Food was great, not super Americanized though– so picky eaters looking for chicken nuggets in soy sauce might be hard to please.

Was on my to go to list and I’m glad we went. I had the phone number one add seafood. The broth was amazing along with everything about the phó. The wife had the pad thai, also was amazing, every bite and consistency was perfect. This is a must go to we will be back for sure. The cook came out the make sure our meals were ok, was not only caring about what he was putting out for food but cared about his customers. Replacing one of my top 3 places to eat phó…

They are authentic and local owned serving up all kinds of oriental foods. My go to is the Pho. I ask for mine without the rice noodles only to make it no carb. They even do carry out.
