Great, friendly service. Hot & Sour soup was perfect. Plum sauce wasn’t watered down. The food was delicious. I would have liked a little more rice, but it was fine. The place was very clean, and as a clean freak I appreciated that. I’ll be going back!

Fast service and delicious food at a great price. We’ve done carry out a few times now and the food is always hot and tasty. The meals come with fried rice and two crab rangoons. They substituted an egg roll for the two crab rangoons on request this last time and I appreciated that. The servings are definitely worth the value, we can usually get dinner and lunch the next day out of them.

This place is definitely a Des Moines by now. Friends and I have been coming here for over 25 years. Fancy, no. Delicious and consistent, yes. Prices are reasonable and the food is ready quick. Make sure you get egg rolls. They are delicious and don’t taste like old cabbage like some other places. They also have the real hot mustard if you ask nice and promise to finish it all. Get your order for takeout or eat in. A great small family owned business that turned an old bakery into one of central Iowa’s longest open Chinese food restaurants.

I ordered fried rice. The size came twice as much as I expected. Also came with free 2 crab Rangoon and free soup. Price is affordable, too. Highly recommended.

Ordered the cashew chicken. Barely any chicken. Mostly carrots and celery. Also got fried rice and it was white rice with little pieces of scrambled eggs. Cashier got an attitude when I changed my mind about wanting sweet and sour sauce.

Service was quick (order ready when I walked in), friendly, and got me exactly what I wanted. Unlike some other Chinese restaurants, this food felt more real! The orange chicken actually had oranges, the cabbage in the egg roll was crunchy, etc. At these prices, with this service, this should be your destination for Chinese takeout in this part of Des Moines!

They’ve changed some of the best recipes we have eaten in years. The sweet & sour chicken sauce is AWFUL! You need to use the original recipes! We’ve been eating them for over 35 years & love them !! The chicken & snow peas sauce was like paste the last 3 times I ordered it . Plz use less corn starch .

Ordered sesame chicken and it was literally rock hard. I couldn’t eat any of it without breaking a tooth. The chicken was clear and reminded me of plastic. Really disappointed because I’ve heard amazing things.
