I have been searching for a great Chinese Buffet Restaurant in Des Moines. Unfortunately this place only has a buffet during the week and does not appear to offer a lot of choices.
Since it was Saturday, Chinese food still sounded really good and this place wasn't that busy when we arrived. I could see how service could be a problem with only three employees working, a waitress, a cook, and a delivery driver.
I decided to try a couple appetizers:
The egg rolls were excellent. Hot, fresh, crispy, and very tasty.
The Crab Rangoons were fantastic. Crispy, hot, and fresh. Nice filling inside. Very good.
I would definitely get both again.
I also ordered the Basil Beef. Holy fire extinguisher! I didn't see a symbol on the menu that indicated that this dish was very hot, but I can assure you that it brings the heat. Tender beef pieces, fresh vegetables like mushrooms, green peppers, basil, and holy pepper flakes. Order a large glass of water.
The beef fried rice was average, kinda mushy and lots of salt. Beef was tender and good.
I also tried the sesame chicken. This was a home run. I like the very light breading on the chicken, crisp and fresh with plenty of sauce. Very good.
