35 Best Chinese Restaurants near Urbandale

“excellent food! generous portions“

“Had it on our list for Ankeny Chinese restaurants and so glad we tried it. Small place, 3 big tables. Very attentive staff. Recommended good combos. Fair priced food. Can’t beat 4 crab rangoons for $2.50! The packaging is super cute and high quality. They cooked the food after we ordered it so we waited maybe 5-10 minutes but it was piping hot when they delivered it to our table. Will 100% be back again. So glad we found this Ankeny gem!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best Chinese I've ever had. We got the orange and general chicken, crab rangoons, and pot stickers. Tasted so fresh and portions were big! The owners were SO nice and welcoming-you could tell they appreciate their customers!“

“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!!“

“While I don't know how long Asian Cuisine has been open in Grimes, it has the small-town feel Grimes used to have. It's in one of what has to be the first shopping strips in town and I don't want the outer facade to hinder your decision to dine in! The restaurant was clean, service was fast and friendly, and the cost for lunch was exactly where I like it to be (under $10). And the main reason to go is because the food is delicious. I will be going back!

Parking: Free parking lot and easy access to the restaurant from main roads“

“Wongs chopsticks has the best food that I've had in years, I travel clear from Lincoln ne, just for there food its a 31/2 hours drive one way just to eat there everytime its wonderful it does not matter what dish you order it delicious, hats off to the cook he is awesome! Cheers to Wong!“

“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!“

“Been coming here for three years and not a thing on this menu I wouldn’t eat.

-Staff is attentive and tight knit
-There is something on the menu for everyone no matter diet. Even the spicy dishes are stunning
-Atmosphere is modest and sweet. Great for a nice date night, a lunch with the in laws, or even just to spoil yourself“

“Great place to eat, these guys are coming out with a new line in their products. Boba tea and and some new lemon tea drinks try it, its pretty great. Not to mention their shrimp puffs are great. Mongolian is great try asking for a little spicy it adds a whole new level“

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

“Four of us had a piping hot meal that was spot-on for flavor and ingredients. Service couldn’t have been better, and the restaurant itself was immaculate as well as handicapped accessible. We’ll be returning....where we all wore masks and were socially distanced. Hot, smooth tea!“

“I was there with my young child today and had an amazing experience with one of the cashiers. Her name is Rebekah. She was an absolute pleasure to chat with while she checked us out. She was kind, warm and radiated kindness. She didn't know, this but I have been going through some very difficult things lately and interacting with her helped me feel hopeful again. She deserves all the good things (and a raise!) Thank you so much, Rebekah... I will carry your kindness in my heart forever“

“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!!“

It was amazing! I ordered Mongolian beef and chicken with veggies. The egg rolls were perfect, light crispy and full of goodness. Both entrees were fantastic.

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“

“If you wanna experiment with food and make a delicious all you can eat Asian style dish this is the place to go!! Excellent food and great staff.

Shoutout to the server who complemented my attire for the day. It really put a smile on my face.“

“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.

Kid-friendliness: Nothing inappropriate or violent and staff is friendly.“

“Cool Basil has been a long time favorite of my wife and I. We hadn’t been there in a while when we stopped in for lunch today. The atmosphere was noticeably different. They were playing a funky smooth jazz music where every song sounded the same. I liked the previous light/classic rock mix much better. The staff seems to have completely changed since we were last in. We didn’t recognize anyone, whereas we were on a first name basis with much of the previous staff. The service was noticeably slower and less friendly. The food was still very good. I ordered my usual spice level 2 and it was very, very hot. Much hotter than it used to be. I’m just wondering if they are under new ownership or management because it is a very different experience from a year ago. I still recommend Cool Basil, it’s just not the familiar place that we loved anymore.“

“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“

“Just went here for my bday dinner last night with family (was a little worried due to reading prior reviews) and all 7 of us had an excellent experience! Bar tender was friendly and did a great job, and the wait staff served happily and quickly. Chef did a great job and entertained and engaged us, while we had delicious food at the hibachi grill. It was a great outing!“
