I went there on their soft open and ordered the vegetable deluxe. It was so good that it's hard not to pick that dish every time I order! Their brown sauce is very good too.

UPDATE from 3 years ago! They have added new items to their menu and I LOVE them! Tried the Kikchi potstickers, AMAZING!

They also added more tofu dishes. The the teriyaki tofu also AMAZING!

I have been here to dine in a few months ago and really liked it however ordered take out this round for a birthday dinner request. Very disappointed! Ordered the orange chicken medium and first for $16 we received about 8 pieces and second absolutely no spice very very bland. The second dish was Thai noodles medium. It was very bland not spicy and again the serving of a lunch portion. I understand it is take out but this place could be so much better. Cool atmosphere and who does not like good Thai food. I would not recommend if you are paying for GREAT food.

Had good experience after a while with thai food. Tried iced tea, crispy cauliflower, devil wings, elephant fried rice and basil fried rice. Their vegetable samosas were really delicious. Disappointed with their dynamite shrimp. It is just deep fried coated shrimp with no flavor. Overall good and will definitely visit again soon.

The atmosphere is nice. Plenty of parking. I just can't believe I paid $16 for a bowl of rice.

Appetizers were good (potstickers and eggroll). Rest of the food was average at best. Husband described the food that he got as smelling of wet dog. We don't mind if food isnt amazing as long as its edible but we know its not great when we dont finish and dont bring home leftovers. But the server was pretty rude. That was a bummer.

My husband and I stopped here for a quick bite. Service was terrible. The girl that waited on us was really rude after I told her that I didn’t like The sticky rice because it wasn’t done. She brought me another sticky rice, but still made us pay for the one that wasn’t done. My husband ordered the pad Thai and it was terrible. Worst pad Thai ever I mean, if you can’t cook better than this, you need to shut down Needless to say we won’t be returning.

I'm stunned at some of the reviews. I go out of my way to eat here when I'm in metro Des Moines and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious and the service is exceptional. Have never had anything less than a 5 star experience.

I've had food here twice, once via a delivery service and once by takeout, and the pad thai I ordered the first time was so amazing that I got it a second time without even considering any other dish.
I ordered it with tofu, extra egg, extra sauce, medium spice and it's worth the extra charges. The tofu is crispy on the outside, which is great. When I ordered takeout it was ready in less than 5 minutes. The person taking the order was charming and professional. The only comment I have isnt even a complaint. I ordered it with medium spice both times. The first time it was very spicy, the second time there seemed to be no spice. But I know that spice level can vary quite a bit
Give it a try! Im actually going to try a new dish next time. But I'm sure I will always adore the pad thai

All the dishes tasted good but the spice levels did not match the requests. When we asked for recommendations from the server we did not give many details. We will definitely come back but hope for more attention and service from the waitress

I've been here 3 times, I chose something different each time. The food is great, service is great and fast. Oddly, I've never seen it busy. Highly recommend!
