30 Best Asian Restaurants near Des Moines

“Pleasantly surprised by the teriyaki chicken. The food was delicious in a generous amount.

Ate in the restaurant and the food was brought out to me. Aside from a dark interior (it was already a gloomy day), the food was enjoyable.“

“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!“

“This place is amazing. We just moved to the neighborhood and got to try it for the first time and I’m already looking forward to going back. We got the Nam Khao and beef skewer plate and both were so delicious. Sticky rice was perfect and the Lao sauce was so good and spicy, like a sambal. The Nam Khao was crispy and I loved the fermented pork! It was my first time trying that dish and I wasn’t disappointed.

Our server was very nice and had a great sense of humor. He whipped us up some delicious cocktails as well!

I highly recommend Sap Sap and I’m already looking forward to going back and trying other dishes.“

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

“Absolutely loved this hot pot experience! 🍲 The broth was rich and flavorful, with plenty of options to choose from. All the ingredients were fresh—especially the meats, seafood, and vegetables—and everything cooked perfectly in the pot.
The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was cozy and great for sharing a meal with friends or family.
If you’re a fan of hot pot or trying it for the first time, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I’m staying at the hotel just across the street, and I couldn’t resist stopping by this gem! Let me tell you, it was an absolute thrill! I ordered the Chicken & Katsu along with a side of egg rolls, and wow, did it blow me away!

The chicken was cooked to absolute perfection! Instead of drowning in teriyaki sauce, it had this fantastic coating that gave it an incredible sweet teriyaki flavor while keeping it moist and packed with that delicious wok taste.

And the katsu? Oh my goodness! It was breaded to perfection, delivering that legendary Katsu crunch in every single bite! The in-house-made Katsu sauce added just the right touch of sweetness, making it an unbeatable combination.

As for the egg rolls, they were pure bliss! Crispy, crunchy, and bursting with flavor, they absolutely hit the spot!

I can’t recommend this place enough! You have to check it out!“

“On god this is the best vietnamese food in south Seattle, they make the most delicious vietnamese sandwiches and other food I don't even write reviews but they're sandwiches eggrolls, spring rolls and desserts are fire I would eat it everyday if I could haha“

“My son and I love pho, and on day after his dental appointment next door, we wondered over here and discovered this place.
My first impression is that this place has an inviting, home-like feeling. They bake some pastries/donuts fresh themselves.
The pho was a hit for my son, and we thanked the lady who said it was her very own (or family?) recipe? That was our first visit, so I can't quite remember exactly 😅
I tried their breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Just the right amount, too.
I'm all about customer service and genuine people. And I can tell these guys have a passion for what they do.
We are always here when we come to this area 🌿🍜🍩🍽🥢“

“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!“

“Very very delicious and amazing!! Will be coming back for sure. The moment I walked in I was taken away by the delicious smell of the food and when our food came they were top notch and exceeded our expectations! They are also 100% halal so that was another thing which we loved! Definitely worth trying definitely worth it!“

“I recently dined at Anchovies and Salt, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing the best of Vietnamese cuisine with a unique twist. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, making it hard to choose a favorite. The environment of the restaurant was inviting and cozy, with a vibrant atmosphere that made for a perfect dining experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. If you're in Seattle and craving some incredible Vietnamese food, I highly recommend checking out Anchovies and Salt. You won't be disappointed!“

“This spot feels less like a restaurant and more like a community hub. Homey & welcoming.

Coming from the restaurant background, I grew to love food places that have no gimmicks and are true to their standard - Pho Liu is on top of that short list in Seattle.

I go here 3 times a week & they serve consistently high quality pho. The small bowl (pictured) is more than enough & leaves room to try their delicious apps. Fish-sauced wings, spring rolls, egg rolls are all phenomenal.

One way to tell they take care of their craft is how long the noodles can sit in the broth without releasing any starch. Fresh noodles, perfectly cooked, and well strained. Also their bean sprouts and herbs are extremely fresh. Never once have I had soggy or bitter bean sprouts here - which is more common at pho places than you’d think.

The owner family & servers here are great & kind people, as well. The subtle cues are how many regulars I’ve seen on random visits and how well the fish (in the fish tank) are taken care of.

This neighborhood place is truly one of the last pre-tech boom Seattle relics.“

“Great food and customer service“

“this restaurant needs more location food is great!“

“Fantastic food at good prices!! Great service! When the machine didn’t like, an employee offered to help, was polite, and even gave me potstickers on the house. Amazing experience. I think the only thing is the employees spirit. A smile can go a long way 🙃“

“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!“

“Food good service ok. music sucks. The loud obnoxious music swearing and carrying on about sex didn't seem to bother the two other customers in there. Not sure you would want to bring small kids inside. Food was actually good. The service was not the friendliest but ok for a Saturday night last night.“

“Great food and even better service. I feel so lucky to live so close! They recently started serving Bento boxes and you get so much food for such a great price! They have a wide drink selection, something for everyone. The space itsself is very cozy but unfortunately I don't often see people dining in, as I think most people get take out.“

“Great food and great service! The place was clean, the prices were reasonable, and there were many options to choose from. I loved the orange chicken and beef fried rice. The egg rolls, fried chicken, and short rib teriyaki were also really good. Would definitely come back!“

“Last time I went here was a few months ago now but they were super friendly until the 1 time I had the day off work and wanted to grab a quick bite. When I walked in it looked like everyone was at lunch as well which is fine. I politely waited and just watched what ever they had playing on the TV for a minute but when they finally got around to asking me what I wanted it just seemed rude. Like snapping at someone. Their food portions and price have always been why I go here. But that interaction just detoured me from coming back. Can't say I would recommend after that. Seems like a family owned resteraunt tho and they def seemed like a go to before that interaction. I always liked their teriyaki chicken. Always had enuf sauce and didn't feel like alot of the other places that try to skimp on filling a togo box with chicken or rice or anything. Won't rate them harshly off that 1 experience tho and may give them a shot again.“

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

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

“Great food and the best service .“

“After a couple of bad experiences in the area, simply Thai was perfect. The portions are big. Their pad Thai wasn’t just perfect. The Thai fried rice was ok. And the service was perfect.

Highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“I’ve been here a few times and the food has always been great. This time, however, the service was slow. I asked the waitress for an extra plate so I could share the papaya salad with my mom and her friend, but it took a long time for the plates to arrive. We eventually decided not to wait and ate the papaya salad with the rest of our food, which ended up being messy because of the fish sauce.

Aside from that, the food was still very good. For those who don’t like raw vegetables, I wouldn’t recommend the papaya salad, as it can be hard on the stomach—especially if you’ve recently had gallbladder surgery. I mention this because I didn’t realize my mom’s friend couldn’t eat raw food, so sticking to soup is a better option. Their soup is very good, and we really enjoyed it.“

“I was hungry and I know their food is good so I came back.

I wanted to try something new so I got the combination noodle soup that had pork slices, chicken, shrimp, liver with egg noodles, veggies and broth.

The egg noodle is perfect, the broth was decent, the chicken and shrimp was ok, the garlic was good, the pork slices were good and there was little pieces of fried pork belly which was really good but I don’t think liver should be in there. I guess it tastes like how liver should but yea lol.

It was ok overall, I should have just gotten what I got last time which was the braised beef egg noodle, that was really good. I guess next time!“

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

“You know it’s good when you don’t have a microwave but you eat your leftovers for breakfast & they are almost better than when it’s fresh n’ hot. Chicken stays crispy too—which is a testament that they know how to do fried chicken. I ordered the General Tso Chicken. I would eat here again & again. Oh, & although they are in this old hotel don’t let that fool you! Next time I’ll try the chef’s recommendation (beef pho). Sorry no pic!“

“The food is always great!“
