The duck and pork soup are excellent. Whenever I am in Des Moines and have time available, I try to dine at Le’s.

Amazing. Best pork I’ve ever eaten. I love how they have their pork and duck hanging on hooks, it’s like out of a movie. You 100% need to try this place. Seriously amazing.

Did not live up to the hype. Egg rolls had a weird taste. The duck had no flavor and my meal was 90 percent bone anyway. Sauces were bad. Duck and pork soup was average. Would never eat there again. Parking lot in need of major repairs, too.

Great food! I love all the menu. We buy Togo at least 3 times a month at this place.
This is by far the best Chinese food in DSM and some of the best I’ve ever tasted. It is so good. They sell roasted duck by the half or whole and BBQ pork by the pound.
The bbq duck and pork is out of this world. Especially the sauce that comes with the pork. Sold by the pound. Please support this hidden gem. All the standard fare is great as well.

I was skeptical when I first pulled into the parking lot, but Le’s has become my favorite Chinese restaurant in Des Moines. I enjoy seeking out Chinese food since moving to Iowa, but Le’s has become just one of two restaurants whose flavors remind me of home (the other being Szechuan House in Iowa City).

Swung by Le's on a recommendation of a local and was not disappointed. We tried the chashu over rice and a duck and roast pork noodle soup. Both were very tasty. The soup tasted more akin to an American chicken noodle soup than the traditional Chinese noodle soups I'm accustomed to especially with the fresh celery and herbs, but I wasn't mad about it. The broth was flavorful, the noodles were nice and the meat was all juicy and full of flavor. The roast pork also had a perfectly crispy skin. The chashu was also good. They used a little too much red dye for my partner's and my liking, but the meat was flavorful and the cut of pork was not too fat and not too lean. The steamed vegetables that came with the dish had a hint of 5 spice and were really nice. The lady running the counter was very sweet and it was nice seeing how busy the place was with takeout. Definitely worth a visit!

Excellent food. Wish they had a location in Grimes or northwest Urbandale

When was the last time you had duck? Le's is one of many hidden jewels in our city. We've eaten take-out here for many years and watched as this family has slowly but surely built this business up from nothing and now it's just fun to sit down there on a rainy Thursday afternoon and eat delicious Chinese BBQ.Over the years we've tried all the BBQ meat on the menu. Chicken, pork and duck. It's all good. Very good.This time we had half a duck, House Lo Mein, Crab Rangoon, Egg Rolls and Steamed Dumplings. Everything was absolutely delicious. The Crab Rangoons were exceptional and the duck was melt in your mouth good.The improvements in the dining area over the last years are impressive and if you want to catch this place before it becomes to crowded, the time is now.
