9 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Ankeny

“Best food ever, very affordable price and everything is so fresh!“

“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!“

“amazing dinner we all loved which is no easy feat with asian cuisine in my house and its my birthday so thank you!“

“Food is always tasty, and the service is consistently great. The owner is super kind and really goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and taken care of. I especially like going around noon when it’s quieter and not as busy—everything comes out fast and fresh. If you’re in the Beaverdale area, it’s definitely worth checking out.“

“One of my favorite places to get sushi! Amazing ramen too. I get take out here almost weekly. I’d recommended… -crab rangoons -garlic fried rice -spicy edamame Can’t go wrong with most of the menu! Great atmosphere inside too“

“I absolutely love this place!! My husband and I discovered it recently and had the teriyaki bowls with steak and chicken & enjoyed both the noodles and rice as well as the chicken egg rolls. We were immediately impressed!!

Everything was wonderful & the egg rolls were the best we ever had!! The prices were really fair, especially considering the huge portions!! Best bang for your buck!

We went there again yesterday and had the pork fried dumplings - amazing!! I also ordered the scarlet sushi roll after it was recommended by the owner. I swear, the scarlet sushi roll, was the best the thing I ever ate!! My husband & son both loved it as well and they don't even like sushi!!

Everyone was extremely friendly!! We haven't experienced this type of customer service for years!! It took me back to a time when I was young, when people actually cared about providing exceptional service and strived to make a difference!!

We will be going back again today!!“

“Absolutely the best Asian food in all of Des Moines. Not only is the restaurant super clean, but the staff is excellent. The owners are always there putting in hard work and you can tell they just genuinely love to feed people. The portions are great. The wait time is generally a bit longer but that's because everything is prepared fresh to order. Nothing is made a head of time. I eat here as often as I can and I drive all the way from West Des Moines to do it. I really like the Phò, the Egg rolls and crab Rangoon are phenomenal! I sometimes order the Empress Chicken which is always great! Everything they make is terrific! The outside and location can fool you. It's nothing flashy on the outside and is not in the best area, but once you're inside, you forget about any of that. I'd give them more stars if I could! -Aaron“
