Bland, tasteless and void of sauce. I won’t be back. Very dry meat and very difficult to swallow without chasing each bite with a drink of water. It was like eating fried rice with jack links beef jerky. GET

Food good, service fast. Order your take out here. Food is consistent, same people running it for years. This review has the current menu and prices. We order here frequently. No complaints. My name is listed as FirstName because I'm a grumpy ass & don't want google putting me all over. :)

This place is a joke. There are many other Chinese restaurants that are much better. We decided to go to this one...it was new to us. Bad decision. Our food was disgusting and I ordered crab Rangoon, Egg Rolls, and Sugar biscuits. She got my order wrong and then came to the table and took back what she gave me after I had already touched it. She put it back in the kitchen for someone else, which is so gross. My spouse's food tasted like vinegar. She finally came and gave me my crab rangoon and it was nothing but cream cheese in it. We were so disappointed. Never going back.

My food was delicious! It arrived hot and fresh, the Cab Rangoon were still very crispy and almost too hot to eat. I ordered delivery and it was delivered near Drake in only 20 minutes.
Under $20 for one person including delivery fee and tip is awesome. Highly recommend.

Zero stars. At least it was for us. Gnats everywhere. I ordered orange chicken and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sick from it. Everything is so sticky. Cooks standing around with hands in armpits. They weren't happy to take our order or serve us. We paid before seeing all this. We will not be returning.
Fast, dependable, family-run. My family's favorite Chinese on the north side.

The Singapore noodles were out of this world with spice that was the best!!! The moo shoo chicken was also second to none!!!! The crab ragoon was crispy but not overly fried. Everything was delicious and we are so thrilled to have found our new Chinese restaurant in Des Moines. We also love that they deliver themselves and don’t outsource. Happy to tip big for that!

The best fast Asian food in beverdale area. Haven’t tried anything I didn’t like. Their lunch specials is where it’s at, get a full entree rice and spring roll for ~$8

It was advertised as a buffet on the website. It is no longer a buffet. It was a drive for us so I was not happy with it
Soup was oily Rangoon and pot stickers were both really bad
Total cost for the food: 21 and change. I tipped 5 bucks for good luck.
Now that's for a tasty entré, crab rangoons, and fried rice.
The food is amazing. Truly a taste of China. The service is very quick. The man who answered the phone didn't act like he didn't want to be there, like so many other restaurants of all types. I could even taste it! The atmosphere was my house, because they do their own deliveries instead of contracting with Doordash like lazy people. 5 stars across the board. These guys deserve it. Will I order again? Yes. But I'll save it for a special occasion, because these things need to be cherished.
THEIR FRIED RICE HAS ONION IN IT!!! ?
Honestly, I want all of those picky reviewers to do me a favor and get over it. Read some Chinese philosophy. Lao Tzu said "True perfection seems imperfect, yet it is perfectly itself." ☯️
