The appetizers were fantastic. They have the best, most authentic crab Rangoon. We crave those. As well as the healthy rolls. So, so good . Our group had 4 entrees, all good, none great. The veggies and meat were fresh, good quality, but we all asked for medium spice levels and all were bland. If I wanted no spice, I would give 5 stars, but it wasn't what we requested. The wait staff are great. Warm, friendly. Very pleasant. Will definitely go again, even if just for the appetizers.
Vegetarian options: You can get just about any dish with tofu or no meat at all.

Curbside pickup order, waited outside and they never came had to go in after already paying a lot. Your service sucks, if you give a time stick to it and actually bother taking out your curbside orders.

Food and staff was amazing. I asked for spicy and they came through and it wasn't no pepper flakes it was real flavorful pepper. Gave 4 star for atmosphere as it's rather small inside there with very little seating options but the food was big on flavor and satisfaction. Definitely would go back and try them again.

Doordash people, don't take orders from this place. They report you to doordash for every little thing, no tip is worth getting dinged because you picked up an order 3 minutes late.

I ordered Pad Thai and received an overly sweet plate of noodles and rubbery pork with a few bean sprouts and green onions. When I asked our server why it didn’t have all of the vegetables that it had the last time I ordered it, she informed me that they used to make it with shredded carrots and other vegetables but don’t anymore (no explanation as to why). She also made the argument that the menu doesn’t actually mention the vegetables anymore. In her defense, that would have been a completely valid point, if not for the fact that the picture of Pad Thai on their menu shows a very different looking meal with plenty of fresh vegetables. When I brought that to her attention she unapologetically responded that they never changed the picture. When I asked her if they could at least add any vegetables to my meal she suggested that I order a side of vegetables, for which I would have to pay extra. So basically no effort was made to address my complaint, or the dismal quality of food that she just served me. This place was never great, but the food used to be at least enjoyable. I’m assuming there may still be some decent items on the menu, but everything we ordered was at or below the quality of food you would get at a cheap Chinese buffet. Maybe it was an off night, but overall it just seemed like they’ve given up and don’t care anymore.

Got this to go, their crab rangoons are amazing. Everything I've had from there has great flavor!
Des Moines has just expanded so much and it's offerings of food. I think Liam Anivat is still the major owner and I remember his food at Thai flavors on East 14th Street long ago. I used to go to that restaurant once a week. That restaurant is the mother ship.. I would rotate between Cafe Fusion and Thai Flavors. Liam has become quite a entrepreneur of Thai restaurants he is the major owner of Cool Basil Banana leaf, and Thai Flavors on Ingersoll. He is really worked hard to have very large restaurants that serve delicious Thai food. It's conveniently located along East 14th in a strip mall with limited parking It can be a busy place so depending on the time of day lunch or dinner you may have to walk a little from your parking spot to the restaurant. The restaurant is clean and.older but the food is still great It is similar menu items to his other restaurants. On this particular day I had red curry chicken, I.have had it at all his restaurants and it's consistently good. I always like to support a locally owned business. Liam has developed quite a system and serving large amount of people at all his restaurants although the East 14th restaurants still has that old mom and pop kind of feel. When he first opened this first restaurant there were not that many Thai restaurants around town. Now he's open many himself and there are other many quality Thai food restaurants around town I think all of his restaurants have some healthier menu including fresh vegetable dishes. I believe they all have vegan dishes as well. Of course the restaurant has pot stickers basil stir fry, pad thai, and other traditional Thai restaurant dishes. There is lots of variety in the menu. It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. Having said that the service was fast and efficient . It's also about being realistic about the food. The food was served quick and hot. I would definitely check this place out. If you're in the area it's well worth a visit It was fun to visit an old neighborhood friend

We ordered food from this restaurant and we just found metal shards in our curry. That could’ve seriously messed up someone’s intestines! I do not recommend.

This restaurant is always a family favorite! They were very kind to our kids and brought the kids food quickly so they were able to start right away! Adult portions are very reasonably priced and large! Thanks for the great meal!
Panang curry is the best here!
