Used to love this place until new management. Now the food does not taste good at all and we will not be going back.

This was my favorite restraunt. I’d come weekly. I heard it was under new ownership so I went to try it out. The food is completely disgusting. Very sad to see it fall from where it once was. The steamed rice was the shining star of the meal.

It's been awhile since I've been there Mike used to own it but the new management was great enjoy the food in great service..... If you want something to go it's the Chinese food you want in Des Moines
Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly authentic Chinese atmosphere get some hot tea with a little honey it's awesome
Wheelchair accessibility: Parking is pretty much street with a few parking stalls what is very accessible
Watch your receipts if paying cash they charge you a card. Tax even if you pay cash. Service was really poor they would look at us and walk away and go to the side and talk to a co worker

We had a family style dinner of pork fried rice, orange chicken and garlic chicken with vegetables. The platters were large and we had food leftover. Everything was hot and spiced well. Staff was attentive.

It was expensive for the taste. The pork fried rice was really strange. It was just like getting Panda Express.

It's under new management when we went in August 2024 and it's better than it ever was. They have a new menu with new recipes. We had the Mongolian beef, orange chicken, and the 7pc sushi. Everything was great and the spicing had a complexity that the old restaurant never had. They're using better cuts of beef, too.
Under new ownership sweet and sour shrimp use to nice and crunchy the cook poured the sauce over the shrimp house fried rice disgusting been going here for over 30 year's what a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!

I ordered the dinner for one. I think it is a great price for the amount of food you get. Their Wonton soup is delicious. My only negative is that you are not able to choose both of your mains. It automatically comes with Almond Chicken which is not something I would typically order. Granted it was tasty, but again not my top choice. The other main I got was the Mongolian Beef and it was excellent! The pork fried rice was really good as well.
The wait staff were a bit awkward. Attentive, but not overly friendly. They could definetely use some coaching on how to ineract with patrons.
All in all it is a nice place with good food. I will definitely be a returning guest.
This has become my new go-to place for take-out. It's delicious, and the food is ready fast

Unfortunately we were very disappointed. We were loyal customers before the change of ownership. We ordered A dinners, the almond chicken and sweet and sour chicken came out, then we waited close to 10 full minutes for the fried rice then another over 5 minutes for the chow mein, that’s just not acceptable. In the beginning I asked for tea, and she came back and said it would be a little bit that the water needs to boil, the tea came out between the rice and chow mein. Definitely a problem. They had been open for 3 hours already, no hot water for tea? We will not be returning, and that makes me sad.
