She took care of our lunch time needs, often anticipating what we were wanting next. She even sent my wife home with a cup of the pop she was drinking. Simply outstanding and is our favorite restaurant when we're in Des Moines area.“

“One of my favorite places in Ankeny!“

“Service and atmosphere was terrific. We arrived around 5 pm on a Sunday. We were seated right away and approached by a server. After a few minutes another server, Risaun, approached us and apologized about us having to wait. After he took our order the manager approached and explained that there was some scheduling conflicts with the first server. We hadn't even noticed, but they had. Risaun took his job seriously and was always near when needed. This restaurant should be a training place for many other restaurants. They show pride in customer service and satisfaction. We'll stop by again when we're in the area.“

“We had a work dinner & it was amazing! Food, drinks, staff - everything!!! 10/10!!“

“All around enjoyable place to go and eat! I had the Maui pizza, my wife got the Philly cheesesteak pizza, and our friends shared the buffalo chicken pizza. All 3 types were great! I wish the crust had some sort of garlic butter glaze or seasoning. The 9” pizza was enough to feed 2, the 12” we could have fed 3 and possibly a not so hungry 4th person. Paired with my pizza I ordered the mulberry mule; it was not very flavorful, but wasn’t terrible. The server was friendly and professional. She checked on us often.

The pizza did take a while to come out, I understand it is made fresh however, if it was a full house I could only imagine the wait time. I suggest turning on another stove if they have one during dinner service.

Overall great experience and will definitely go back!“

“Every time I go here with my niece and nephew, we always leave with a smile on our face. The food is so good. The atmosphere is amazing quite loud sometimes but it’s a public establishment. I’m not picky. They’ve always gotten my order right and it’s tasty.

Parking: Plenty of spots for its location.

Kid-friendliness: Every time I take my niece and nephew here they have a blast, and the staff is so kind to them.

Wheelchair accessibility: All wheelchair handicap spots are directly in front of the building so easy access.“

“I don't usually leave reviews but truly I must after the incredible experience we just had here. My kids are your typical picky eaters and getting them to eat is usually quite a task. Instead of the usual, both my kids devoured thier burgers, and were even asking if they could get another burger. They are currently talking about how they can't wait to go back. The atmosphere was fun and the staff was just as fun while still being professional. The food...the food was absolutely scrumptious. We will be back soon and greatly appreciate how one stop has made our entire day brighter.“

“Had mother's day brunch. Good selection of food on the buffet line. Good service to. Had 11 am reservation. Was seated right at 11am.“

“The atmosphere was very laid back, the food was really good we got buffalo egg rolls, spinach artichoke dip for appetizers I got the Philly cheesesteak and fries and friend got the Nutty Buddy Burger with Cole slaw we really enjoyed both appetizers and our meals. Service was quick and I appreciated how nice our server was also I assume the manager or lead but she kept coming over to make sure we were satisfied and that our food was tasting good! Definitely recommend! The food was a little pricey are tab came to 66$ with no alcoholic beverages but really good!“

“Just went here for my bday dinner last night with family (was a little worried due to reading prior reviews) and all 7 of us had an excellent experience! Bar tender was friendly and did a great job, and the wait staff served happily and quickly. Chef did a great job and entertained and engaged us, while we had delicious food at the hibachi grill. It was a great outing!“

“We picked up Togo tonight, and it was phenomenal! We got 2 entrees and 3 appetizers for less than $50!

The food was great. The online ordering was super convenient, and we picked a little later pickup time so we could get the kids to bed, and when I showed up early, it wasn't quite ready yet. It's nice when a place honors the time you requested so you know the food is fresh.

I forgot what a cool looking place it is. It was very clean and the owner was the one that helped me. This place is seriously delicious! If you need Chinese in Ankeny, this place to go!

Thanks George and the crew!“
