33 Best Chinese Restaurants near Windsor Heights

“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!“

“Great service, my dad and I went and they explained how ordering worked and even gave us 2 whole boiled eggs on the house. This tops every asian restaurant in Ankeny i’ve been to. You definitely get what you pay for, portions are out of this world and food is fresh and home made. Highly recommend!“

“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 !“

“Wonderfully delicious and extremely quick, Rok the Wok satisfies all my Chinese Food cravings. I miss their soups, tho! Wow! Hands down THE best place for Chinese food is back! How do I know it’s the best, you may ask? The Des Moines Metro voted for several years in a row! I’ve followed these two ever since I met them in Cedar Falls, IA about 23 years ago! When I found out 20 years ago they were opening up a restaurant in Waukee, IA; I had to let the word out to everyone I knew! As former owners of Shanghai in Waukee (y’all know who I’m talkin’ about now), Cityview’s #1 Chinese Restaurant for several years (including an honorable mention for best Vietnamese food) at last had all the respect and accolades they’d ever dreamed of! Where else to go?…But EVERYWHERE! ? The food really is dynamite and it’s everything everybody says it is! The Mongolian Beef and Shrimp, the Governor’s Chicken, and their soups (Egg Drop and Hot and Sour) are the best they’ve ever been! Also, I love that I can order one of whatever appetizer they have! My favorites are the wings, Vietnamese egg rolls, and Crab Rangoon! Be sure to try the spicy Nuoc Mam with the egg rolls! The prices are great for people like me on a dining budget, and they are located in the well-maintained Menard’s parking lot on Hickman Ave in Clive! Super easy to find and get to! They also do quite a bit for the community! Just recently they served lunches to all of the hungry staff members at Hoover High and Meredith Middle School! They really do know how to Rok the Wok! Give’em a try, and I guarantee you it’ll “hit the spot!”“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Ordered for delivery and the app was easy to use and quoted an hour for delivery. Before I could finish vacuuming and she was knocking on my door. This lady was so sweet!!! Now the food was... 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. Definitely the best I have had in the Ankeny area in the past. Thank you for doing a great job on customer service and quality😊“

“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“

“I have to start with the beauty and style of the restaurant. The ambience was fantastic. Our waitress was so kind. The food was awesome. Started with a ginger salad, shrimp pad Thai for my entree & shared a thunder roll with my husband. YUM! All of it. I even tried a bite of my husbands ramen & it was great too. Such a wonderful spot. I should also mention that the specialty cocktails were very good as well. 10/10 would eat here again.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
