31 Best Asian Restaurants near Des Moines

“One of the many great Des Moines restaurants, if you haven’t been, you need too. Great hospitality and amazing food. Definitely a must!“

“We've lived in Des Moines for 30+ years and have never tried this teriyaki place and so glad we did today. Fast service and everything was on point. Regular chicken teriyaki was delicious and the spicy chicken was so good and spicy and both were huge portions. Egg rolls were great also. Will definitely be back.“

“Sooooo happy to finally find an authentic Cambodian only restaurant near me! The papaya salad and skewers were amazing and beautifully plated, got my spicy fix today! Anytime I’m in Federal Way you’ll find me there!“

“If you don’t eat at Sap Sap, I don’t know what you’re doing with your life. I would live in their kitchen if it was legal. This place has the stamp of approval from my Thai mother from the Isan region. When she visits, we have to bring her straight here.

Now, what do I recommend on the menu? Well, I recommend everything. I’ve eaten it all. One time, we came three times in one week. My favorite dish changes once a month. Right now, it’s the Lao sausage and sticky rice. Come get you some.

I would add a picture of our plates but they’ve been licked clean.“

“It was definitely an experience since you get to eat both HOTPOT&KBBQ! You really do get the best of both world!
Service was amazing, especially Shelly , super kind and knowledgeable and walked us through the whole menu. definitely will be back again !“

“I'm at the hotel across the street. I was originally going to walk over to the mall area and the Olive Garden, but I saw the sign for teriyaki and thought it would be good to support a small business.

I walked in through the mini mart. The man behind the counter asked if I was looking for teriyaki after I looked a little lost. He pointed me to the other side of the shop and met me over there.

I wish I'd thought to ask his name. He was very nice and personable. I told him I'd be in town for a couple days and was looking for a good spot. I asked what's good on the menu. He pointed out a few things, but I settled on the spicy orange chicken.

When I checked out, I thought it might be a tad pricey, but I also recognize the importance of helping a small business. While I waited for my order, I went back to the mini mart side and got a ginger ale and some gum. The same gentleman rang me up there.

Then, back next door, I looked at my phone for a minute or two, and he came back to thank me for my patience. While thoughtful, I was not put out at all, I had only placed the order a few minutes before, and it really didn't seem like much of a wait.

My food came out in short order, he bagged it up and put all the things I'd need (utensils, napkins, soy sauce) inside before I asked. He left me with a smile, and I walked across the street to my hotel to eat.

Bringing it up to my room, I saw that it was a lot of food. Honestly, I SHOULD have only eaten half and saved the rest for the next day. But I didn't.

The orange chicken was perfect. Just delicious. The rice was just right. Honestly, I can't think of a thing that would make it better.

Highly recommend for both the food and the service.“

“I get a bahn mi from Nissi any time I’m near Othello station (which is a lot haha)! They make an unreal delicious tofu bahn mi, and it includes delicious mushrooms. They are accommodating to making vegetarian versions of foods (I saw a delicious fried egg/rice paper stuffed with bean sprouts and meat, and they made me a vegetable one just because they saw I wanted to try it), and the shop owner and staff are so kind. I will be coming to this shop frequently, thank you Nissi!“

“I had lunch with my daughter. So yum 😋 thanks“

“Asian Table in Kent is a tasty find! The sushi roll was fresh, with perfect rice and zesty flavors. Teriyaki chicken was juicy, charred just right. Staff’s friendly, making you feel at home. Quirky paper lanterns give it a cozy glow. Only gripe? Portions could be bigger. A solid spot for sushi and Asian bites!“

“Fast, courteous service, great food and good prices. I tried the Mongolian Beef...it was fabulous! Great flavor & the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. I was surprised at the number of menu items available to choose from. I'll definitely be going back!“

“We ordered some boba tea, a couple lattes,and some pastries and they were nice as was the friendly service. The samples were enjoyable and we ended up ordering the sampled item. I can't speak to their sandwiches, Those seating area is clean and bright.“

“We dropped in for lunch today and it definitely lived up to its ratings. Had been eager to try out XinJiang food for a while and the food was excellent. Absolutely loved the lamb on noodles and the lamb buns. The skewers were good too. The chicken with Nan was good too but the star was definitely the lamb on noodles. Would love to visit again to try out more dishes“

“I come from West Tacoma all the way to Browns Point for their delicious food., and for the many vegetarian options. See you again soon.“

“The pho was delicious, portion was more than enough for a large. There is also a bar and some games like DARTS. Only thing is the inside probably could use a update though, carpet needs to be shampooed or replace, restroom was dark. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot if you want good pho. I cant wait to go back.“

“Great food and customer service“

“Absolutely delicious teriyaki! We had the chicken teriyaki and a boba tea. Our server graciously asked if we could enjoy gyoza that comes with the teriyaki before bringing it out.
Cute, fun atmosphere and delicious food!
We’ll definitely be back.“

“This has got to be the best teriyaki in town , this teriyaki & Teriyaki Madness where you get 4 scoops of rice instead of 2, but for flavor taste appearance it just melts in your mouth as you enjoy a.delicious mouth watering the best dam near perfect teriyaki sauce I have ever had especially in Seattle, where people don't play about the teriyaki around these parts it's like if you said Seattle known for great coffee and awesome Teriyaki, like what more do you really need in life“

“this restaurant needs more location food is great!“

“Crispy tender juicy full of flavor spicy chicken teriyaki. Rice cooked well, I highly recommend getting the Rice Punch drink and sip on it as you enjoy your Rice. They compliment each other. Good, kind and caring people work here. I highly recommend this place.“

“Ordered online through Doordash for me to pick up at restaurant. First of all, prices are at least $2 more per dish with this ordering method. Secondly, I was missing an item from a combo and reached out, but they never responded. THAT adds insult to injury! Will try somewhere else next time and hopefully they'll get my order right.“

“I love this teriyaki place. It is by far the best around and I’ve been to plenty of teriyaki restaurants. The food is always good and consistent. Same goes for the service. It’s very quick and the owner is great. My favorite thing is the teriyaki sauce which is made in house according to the owner. Will definitely be coming back for more delicious teriyaki.“

“So good! Food was served quickly & SO delicious. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Quick to clear our table of empty dishes. Highly recommend! We will be back very soon!“

“Absolutely love everything we ordered. (Crispy Garlic Chicken, Pad Thai, Panang Curry). 10/10. Would definitely go back.“

“Great food and the best service .“

“Just ate some of the best Thai food I have ever had. My wife had delicious Panang Curry and I had Pad Thai, but challenged the kitchen to make it as spicy as they can. It was so delicious and super spicy. Chan waited on us and was amazing. Super friendly and definitely will be back because of the food and the service.“

“I absolutely love this place! The fried chicken here is hands down some of the best I’ve ever had — crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. You can tell it’s made fresh every time. Their noodle soups are incredible too — rich, comforting broth with perfectly cooked noodles and generous toppings. It’s the kind of meal that warms your soul. The portions are great, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. Whether you’re craving something hearty or just need a quick bite, this noodle house never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“There's a few gems hidden in Tukwila and Mali Thai is one of them! We've coming been here for years and the foods, it never disappoint! They're mango salad with fried fish, papaya salad and salmon curry! THE BEST IN TOWN!!!
You've gotta hit up Mali thai if you're craving thai!“

“Good place to eat, clean, and great looking menu“

“Good food and good staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Will be back!“

“The Pho here was delicious. Pack with flavor and the broth stayed hot till the last drop. I tried the Mango sticky rice here and it's far the best I had yet. It's sweet but not too sweet unlike most place. It's bad perfect to compliment the mango. The staff and service was fast and caring. Very attentive to my needs. It's almost feel like if you was at a family's house getting serve. I will definitely come back to this place and would recommend to my friends and family.“

“The food is always great!“
