This was our first time here and ordered Thom yum soup. Asked about size and was told personal size. Turns out, their personal size is a full quart. Along with our entrees there is no way we could each consome a full quart of soup. When it was brought to their attention the cashier said it was her fault but no attempt to remedy the situation was made. Upon looking at the receipt I see it was $16.00 each!!! Yep! We got twice as much as we wanted and were charged a LOT. We will not return to be overcharged again. While the soup was ok, it was not the flavor profile to which we are accustomed, having never had it with green pepper. I specifically asked for my entree sans green pepper so to find so much in the soup was disappointing.

For a very small space, this restaurant hosted our very large group from out of town with kindness and grace. They opened the kitchen just for us and served us delectable food. Thank you to all of the workers for welcoming us like you did and I will certainly return the next time I’m in Des Moines.

I ordered a plate of orange chicken and it was not what I was expecting. It tasted like frozen chicken nuggets covered in orange sauce. It could have been more original. I probably would not come again.Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessible way to get up.

Review: Food and service was amazing! The food was tasty and the owner was super nice. I have a 4 star review because of how difficult it was to find and not having a changing table. If you have young children with diapers they didn’t have a changing table heads up!We had two Panang curry (coconut chicken with red curry), a taro bubble tea, and mango bubble tea.Directions: Go to walnut street and enter the public entrance of HotelKirkwood and up the stairs. Once you’re up the stairs, make a left and it’s right there! If you need handicap or stroller accessibility, enter capitol building across the street, take the elevators, and then the skywalk across to get to JJs.
The best food in town. Not even close!!!!! We had hot pot here one night and it was Amazing!

I've been here twice. The first time it was excellent. Good amount of protein and a bunch of veggies. Just fresh and packed with flavor. The second time I got the exact same dish. The pad Thai noodles were stuck together in a big clump, obviously old and the protein was dry and barely there. There were barely any veggies as well.Consistency is important, but not as important as quality.So disappointed. ?

A personal favorite! Excellent pad thai, drunken noodle, fried rice & spring rolls. Not a fan of their version of beef pho. Very consistent quality food & service. We eat here once a week! On the skywalk as well so very convenient.

They open at 11 and not at 1030. If you go early expect to wait. Big guy running the register will lie to you. Other than that pretty good food. I used to go there because of my early lunch break 2-3 times per week not anymore
Best Thai food in Des Moines!
