5 Best Asian Restaurants near Altoona

“If this place ever left Altoona or permanently closed for any reason, I would legitimately experience the 5 stages of grief. This place is superior in terms of food quality, variety of dishes, friendly staff, and prices that beat most local Thai restaurants. The pad woon sen and tom yum noodle are offerings so hard to find elsewhere, and set the bar to an unattainable standard. Try everything on their menu, especially the Thai dishes, and it's impossibly hard to be disappointed.“

“Hawker’s Kitchen is hands down one of the best Malaysian and Singaporean restaurants you can find in the country. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, setting the stage for an authentic Southeast Asian dining experience.

The food is outstanding — every dish is cooked with care and packed with rich, bold flavors that taste just like what you’d find at hawker stalls in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. The ingredients are fresh, portions are generous, and the balance of spices is perfect. Whether you’re craving savory noodles, fragrant rice dishes, or their incredible curry noodle soup (laksa), everything here is a hit.

The service is just as impressive as the food. The staff are friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they serve, which really elevates the whole experience. You can tell they take pride in sharing authentic Asian flavors with their customers.

If you’ve been searching for a place to satisfy your Asian food cravings, look no further. Hawker’s Kitchen won’t disappoint. I highly recommend this spot — once you try it, you’ll definitely come back for more!“

“Fawn’s Asian Cuisine is hands down one of the best places to eat in Des Moines! The pho was outstanding, full of flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The crab rangoons were perfectly crispy and delicious, and the handmade fried dumplings were some of the best I’ve ever had.

What really set this place apart was the top-notch customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.

If you’re looking for authentic Asian cuisine, generous portions, and a great dining experience, I highly recommend Fawn’s Asian Cuisine. We will definitely be back!“
