“thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am SO happy I found you. The gentleman that helped me yesterday was SO nice and SO helpful. The Russian Earl Grey is FABULOUS. I can't wait to try the others and coming back for more. Thank you again!”

“We had a wonderful experience at this small Italian pizzeria. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everything was very clean, including the bathrooms, which I always appreciate. The salad was fresh with crisp, cold lettuce, which was a great start to the meal. We ordered both pizza and pasta, and both were fantastic. The pizza crust was perfectly crisp, just the way it should be. The pasta was outstanding! Honestly the best chicken Alfredo I’ve ever had. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the sauce was rich, cheesy and delicious. You can really tell they take pride in their food and their restaurant. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Service was exceptional. Two gals and very professional with greeting and parting phrases. Did tremendous job answering questions about new items . Prepared great tasting products.
They just worked well as a team.
If I wasn't retired and needed some team members I would be offering them the world to come work for me .
Two great ambassadors for this location and the brand.”

“Had the Tuscan Slice, which was a great combination of flavors and perfect crust! Great selection and quick! Will definitely be back.”

“Food & service is awesome. Very clean. Packaging is pretty & reusable. Didnt even have to warm my food after getting home 2.5 hours later. Large servings so always have leftovers which are just as good the next day. Highly recommend!”

“Just stopped in for the first time and WOW!!! These macarons are absolutely INCREDIBLE! If I lived closer, I would genuinely be here every single day. I love all of the flavors I picked out, but they gave me a free Cinnamon Bun macaron to try and it was easily the best thing I have eaten in a very very long time. I will be anxiously awaiting the next time I have an excuse to run to Ankeny and pick more of these up! Edited to add: I was so excited about the macarons that I forgot to comment on the delicious coffee I got! I tried The Good Day and it is SO yummy, would definitely recommend if you like your coffee on the sweeter side :)”

“I love their grilled chicken on wraps, sandwiches, and salads. I also love the Brussel sprouts.”

“Tullpa is awesome! The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is fantastic! My favorite is the milanessa de pollo, and I usually get the patacon gigante con chicharon de puerco as an appetizer. Everything is always very tasty!”

“I stopped in at MinGaLaBar tonight with a family member and had a great experience! Our waitress was very kind and it didn’t take much time for the food to arrive hot and fresh. We started off with an order of Samosas and then I got the Shan Khao Swe with chicken!”

“I’ve never heard of this place before today.. a few of my employee’s went there for lunch and told me to try it. I tried the catfish lunch and it’s incredible! The portion size is massive, the fries are fresh and dialed in and the sauces are spot on! New customer for life! Thank you”

“Definitely our go to resturant. The drinks. The food. The atmposphere. All of it!”

“The girls at Sweet Swirls today were so accommodating! We brought in, from Rock Creek, 12 residents in at once. They listened, took their time, and made sure every order was right. We appreciate it so much!”

“Hawker’s Kitchen is hands down one of the best Malaysian and Singaporean restaurants you can find in the country. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, setting the stage for an authentic Southeast Asian dining experience.

The food is outstanding — every dish is cooked with care and packed with rich, bold flavors that taste just like what you’d find at hawker stalls in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. The ingredients are fresh, portions are generous, and the balance of spices is perfect. Whether you’re craving savory noodles, fragrant rice dishes, or their incredible curry noodle soup (laksa), everything here is a hit.

The service is just as impressive as the food. The staff are friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they serve, which really elevates the whole experience. You can tell they take pride in sharing authentic Asian flavors with their customers.

If you’ve been searching for a place to satisfy your Asian food cravings, look no further. Hawker’s Kitchen won’t disappoint. I highly recommend this spot — once you try it, you’ll definitely come back for more!”

“Would highly recommend I have came here 3x now and never any issues. I got a cookie that’s suppose to have a lemon on them and they were quick to fix the mistake would recommend to anyone. There is a bunch of cookie places but this trumps all them!”

“Love that they are passionate about the community.”

“This place has been a home away from home. NO other bar compares for a place for respite and a moment away from the hectic American lifestyle that is constantly thrown at us from everywhere! They embrace every need and meet you where you want to be. By chatting at the table or reading the room to give you space. And the food is on point every single time, whether an appetizer or meal with the family the food is always fully enjoyed and appreciated leaving everyone satisfied and happy to relax and enjoy the rest of the day! This is the place to be!!!”

“I'm extremely picky about boba so it can be hard to find boba places that I like, and I thought I had found my favorite boba place... and then I tried Zenko and now other boba will never beat it lol. I'm a very routine-order person so I've only ever tried the black sugar milk tea with boba here, but I lowkey just never bothered trying any of their other drinks simply because this one is so good. Most of my friends who do like several of their drinks also tend to gravitate towards the black sugar milk tea as well, though, so I feel validated in always ordering the same drink over and over :) It's also so cozy and fun inside all the shops--I've been to three of the locations and they all have the same relaxing vibe, lots of plants and soft music.”

“Delicious, locally owned and operated. Remembers their customers and are always gracious and welcoming. Way better than any other ice cream shop.”

“So good! I was passing through and decided to stop in and grab a bite and I’m glad I did! I got the veggie melt with a cup of fruit and it was amazing! Kendra was fast and friendly- I highly recommend!”

“The service is quick! Jose our server was so attentive and quick! The environment is family friendly! There was a live band! The food was delicious!!! I highly recommend!”

“Fantastic food every time I've been there. They keep adding new things to try. Also great people.”

“We love Dragon Pho and Boba! Our food is always delicious and the service is great. The staff are also so friendly!!”

“We love Portofinos!!! The salmon dishes are my favorites!!! Great soups and yummy bread!!! We're close, so we walk there often!!!”
