Our food was flavorful…shrimp spring rolls were yummy, especially with the peanut sauce, Tom Kha soup was hot and tasty. Plenty of food—Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour chicken, chicken fried rice, and Laap beef (obvious hints of mint). Kind employees.

Great locally owned Thai restaurant gem! Their pork or beef ladna is insanely flavorful and delicious! They also have great pho, lao sausage, papaya salad combo and authentic style khao poon! Everything here is flavorful and tasty! Great value and authentic SE Asian cuisines! Clean and cozy restaurant. Service is always attentive and cheerful & friendly! They do a great job for how busy they can get, especially during lunch hour. Highly recommend!

I had panang curry at this restaurant.it was different than other restaurants as most come out as a liquid yellow soup.. this was in a flat dish and was heavy in vegetables.. far more fresh vegetables than at any other restaurant that I have been. I added seafood to it and had an acceptable portion of protein. price was about equivalent to other asian restaurants in the area.

Yum yum yum...definitely in our Top 3 Asain restaurants in Des Moines. Heavenly beef, khoa piek soup, combination spring rolls, angry catfish and pho are all top dishes

I walked into this place for the first time tonight, a little apprehensive since I am not familiar with the cuisine and not wanting to bother anyone with too many questions. Jasper greeted me right away and set me up at a table, and was very attentive, helpful and personable. He answered my questions and checked if certain ingredients were okay before placing the order. I had shrimp spring rolls and Pho Special, and everything was absolutely perfect. Between the serving sizes, temperature and amazing flavors, I was overall extremely impressed with this establishment. I will 100% be back!!!!

Good food. Staff were friendly. It's pricier than I remember. The food was delicious, but the portion was rather small. It's lunch but after the meal I was still hungry. They used to have big servings, but it's been awhile since I've been back. However, I recommend it for the friendly staff and clean eaterie.

They are authentic and local owned serving up all kinds of oriental foods. My go to is the Pho. I ask for mine without the rice noodles only to make it no carb. They even do carry out.

We had a little bit of trouble finding the place but no big deal. BF had the Pho Special which he enjoyed. I had a small wonton soup, the broth was delicious. Also ordered the chicken lo mein and loved that it had the authentic chargrilled taste that I love. I added a bit of sweet and sour to it and it was perfect! UPDATE: They took the Wonton Soup off the menu, saying "it wasnt very popular". Thats the main reason we got there. BUMMER 😢🍲
