17 Best Chinese Restaurants in Des Moines

“It's always fresh. Everywhere else I could get chinese food from, the vegetables are always a bit wimpy and taste like they've just been steamed. Sam's veggies actually have some char on them!“

“Good food, always fresh in my experiences with eating here. Doesn't cost a lot, and if you go away hungry from their buffet, it's your own fault. Would recommend to anyone. Also I've never been grossed out by the bathroom. That's a big bonus for me. After using the restroom I like coming out feeling relieved and clean not ready to shower as soon as I get home...cause eewwwww.... So thank you for keeping up on your restroom as well as the face appearance of your restaurant.“

“Food is always fast and good. Favorite Asian restaurant.“

“I love their dumplings, always fresh“

“Was very disappointed because rice had peppery taste of too much pepper and manager would not make it right only was thanking me for my complaint combination fried rice was horrible and so were the crab Rangoon’s I think they use old rice over never going back ever“

“Friends visiting offered to go grab lunch and asked what I wanted. The wife called in our order and the husband drove to get it. The 3 of us agreed it was fast and delicious but not too heavy that we felt stuffed. We will definitely return here. YUM!“

“Ordered lunch online and picked up in ~15 minutes. Food was warm and serving sizes are generous. Lunch special comes with your entree of choice, fried rice, a crab rangoon, and egg roll. Unfortunately, the egg roll was cooked well on the outside but undercooked on the inside and was also very oily.“

“They have great food. Ive eaten around and its mostly all good, but ive been wanting garlic chicken like it used to be... CHUNKS not slabd. Its made IMO using dark meat as well whereas the other is just slabs of dry, overcooked breastfeeding meat...
The chunks tast better. I like the dark meat....
My new go to...
Their specials are nine ninety nine, and usually put together.Well, from what I can tell. I say, go try it out....“

“I was there with my young child today and had an amazing experience with one of the cashiers. Her name is Rebekah. She was an absolute pleasure to chat with while she checked us out. She was kind, warm and radiated kindness. She didn't know, this but I have been going through some very difficult things lately and interacting with her helped me feel hopeful again. She deserves all the good things (and a raise!) Thank you so much, Rebekah... I will carry your kindness in my heart forever“

“We stopped in here for some grub before a long drive back to eastern Iowa. If you’re not eating here, you should be. Every single dish we ordered came out piping hot and fresh. All the flavors were on point and nothing was lacking. It so quiet in the dining area, a welcome relief after being in a loud amusement park for two days. This is the best Chinese food I have had in almost 8yrs. Have been looking for a decent place since leaving Illinois and I finally found it…2 1/2 hrs from home :( well worth it and will become our go to place when we are in this area from now on.“

“I’m a new pescatarian but ive been a vegetarian for a really long time. It’s hard finding Chinese food that has all the great flavors but shrimp but wow does me eggroll deliver. Service was so nice, wait was quick. The food was amazing. Seriously can’t recommend enough ! :D“

“Had to revisit to try the fish.
I ordered wonton soup, hot tea and tomato catfish! 😋
My host was attentive and quick.
The soup was delicious and had a tasty broth, vegetables and a good amount of wonton! Not just dough, thick and meaty wonton!
My fish...OMG! Summers. Look at the photo!
All in all, I was able to relax on the mellow atmosphere and enjoy a super delicious meal. Im grateful.“

“If I could give dragon house east more than 5 stars I would gladly do it. Their food is great, the delivery man is polite, the lady on the phone is great to talk to, and the food arrives warm. Compliments to the chef and everyone that works there. Thanks so much.“

“So freaking good!!! You should go.“

“delicious! got takeout and it was 30 bucks for both of us to get a full meal plus 2 orders of crab rangoons. crab rangoons are fantastic, filling is delicious, could have been a bit more crunchy but i’m not complaining. it was 3 dollars for 4 which is insanely low. chicken lo mein is super flavorful, the chicken is delicious and tender, the orange chicken is as expected, nothing special but very yummy. portions are massive, we didn’t even get through half of it. it came with soup, we got egg drop which was super yummy. the staff were very kind as well. will definitely be back!“
