“I just got the chicken low mein, hot and sour soup, and egg rolls. All so good! The noodles on the low mein and the chicken have the best FLAVOR!! The guy in there is also a very nice person!“

“❤️ New China has a variety of dishes all very delicious. Have never had a bad meal.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Been going here since I was a kid and when I get the chance to let her know to her face I will do so but when she is there everything is as it should be but the moment she isn’t the food is trash. They literally brought me out cold sweet-and-sour chicken old chicken not fresh whatsoever. I literally took a bite five seconds after it was put down in front of me and I stood up and I snapped because like I said, I’ve been coming here since I was a kid her and her brother I believe were the ones that always ran it. Let me tell you the people that are back there in the kitchen have no clue and it is blatant, disrespect, especially when she gives them a job to do and they can’t even do it correctly If you are reading this, I would definitely sit your kitchen down and tell them this is your last straw I only gave the 1 star to get her attention. I came in today 6/3 and wasn’t looking for the free meal my wife ordered. When the queen is here it’s on point!!! I’ve always bragged about her food being the best in the country in my opinion thank you very much I do appreciate you and will stop in only when you are here going forward“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“So freaking good!!! You should go.“

“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“

“While the food could use an extra soy sauce / spicy mustard packet, the service quality and price-to-food ratio more than makes up for a somewhat lack of seasoning to make a wholesome, affordable and still-tasty experience that easily is worth a visit anytime.

Also, I despise AI. Just to maintain the fact this review is real ✌️“
