“This was my 3rd time getting RokTheWok and they have outdone themselves every time! Consistently the food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend stopping by if you see the truck!“

“We don’t usually pick chain restaurants but this one is an exception. Great food, service, atmosphere & location. We come here every time we come to Des Moines shopping. Never disappoints! Pictured is the lettuce wraps. My favorite dish! Served as an appetizer but enough food to make it a meal.“

“Just moved back to the ss and tried all the other Chinese places around and sams blew everyone out of the water . Seriously try the shrimp rolls !!! Obsessed !! And she brought out good to the car . I thought that was so cute !“

“We LOVE this place!! Food is absolutely amazing and the family that runs this restaurant are really nice folks! They remember our order and know us when we come in! I would recommend them if you want hot and delicious food!!“

“Good food, always fresh in my experiences with eating here. Doesn't cost a lot, and if you go away hungry from their buffet, it's your own fault. Would recommend to anyone. Also I've never been grossed out by the bathroom. That's a big bonus for me. After using the restroom I like coming out feeling relieved and clean not ready to shower as soon as I get home...cause eewwwww.... So thank you for keeping up on your restroom as well as the face appearance of your restaurant.“

“best duck n pork in town!“

“Great service! Yummy food!“

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

“YES! The best Chinese food around, hands down. The egg drop soup cannot be beat. Logan works hard and moves at record speed trying to serve all customers.“

“This place is amazing, never messed up an order, food has always been a good value for the price (we get two-three meals out of these portions) and their employees are awesome as well! Can't say enough good things about it, make sure you call them directly and don't order through the 3rd party apps...these 3rd party apps are steal value from these local small businesses!“

“This place has the best “Pot Stickers” in Des Moines! So friendly and hardworking! They offer so many different meats and veggie dumpling combinations! My favorite are the pork with Napa cabbage, but my mother prefers the chicken and Napa cabbage! Make sure you get them with the crunchy chili oil! You’ll find them at the Valley Junction Farmer’s Market on Thursday evenings, the Downtown Farmer’s Market in Des Moines on Saturday mornings, as well as Kitchen Spaces in the Drake Neighborhood on Sunday nights!“

“Soooo good. Best Chinese food in West Des Moines. Orange Chicken Fried Rice Egg rolls Crab Rangoon Egg drop soup Extremely fast delivery. Piping hot when it arrived. Fantastic food.“

“Great place for quality food. Portions were decent size. Plenty of options to choose from. Clean area and friendly owners. You will be eating from the plastic plates (like prepared for carry out) even if you dine in. Would highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Oh my word!!! The best Chinese food in the midwest!!! The rice was fresh the ? beef was phenomenal! I never had broccoli beef without having to add soy sauce since I was a child! The beef egg roll looked more like a spring roll buy still sooooo flavorful!! The crab ragoon was creamy!! The potstickers were dry but very yum!! Moo goo gai pan was delightful fresh ingredients. The spicy hot oil was perfect!! The hot and sour soup was spicy but fresh. The egg drop soup was the clearest most flavorful best tasting I have ever had! Great job Mr. Egg Roll!!“

“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“

“Probably one of my favorite restaurants in Des Moines but hands down the BEST Asian food around! Been eating here almost 10 yrs and never been disappointed. One of the best vegan/vegetarian options too! Their tofu is the best crispy fried I’ve ever had! Also great quality meat as well! Cannot go wrong with any dish here! My favs are the spring rolls and Evil chicken!“

“Hello, I wanted to recognize the staff of the Chinese buffet at the above location. They had very good patience with me and my confusion of their menu. They accommodated my requests and the gentlemen, two asian men, did an excellent job in taking my order and taking care of my dinner. I want to apologize if I caused any stress and frustration for them by my questions and the delay to serve the rest of the guests behind me ready to order. I'm so sorry, and appreciate these men for taking time helping me. I really appreciate your hard work and want to tell you both thank you for your excellent service! Thank you, Cherry“

“The food is amazing takes like a 1min to cook it. and the atmosphere is pretty good they have tvs that will play football if it’s on at the bar. The workers are nice and friendly from my experience and when I went the worker was watching the game and her team lost. It was very funny. Overall the whole building is nice and inexpensive. Totally recommend.

“You want a quick, local, and consistent Chinese restaurant? Highly recommend China Place.

I live in the neighborhood and regularly order take out from here. I only have positive things to say about China Place:
-never had a single issue out of 3-4 dozen orders
-order always done on time or early
-service is quick & polite
-food is really good & affordable

For great prices, you get a quality meal. I’ve been a customer since I moved here years ago and if I move to another neighborhood in the metro, I’ll still be a customer because this is an unassuming local gem.“
