★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kevin Sheriff · Feb 2026

More of a to go restaurant then sit down. Ordered the beef Fried Rice and the rice was hard and oily. No taste and very bland. No table service

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Matthew Campbell · Nov 2025

Both the egg drop and sweet and sour soup were awful. General tso chicken was good. Sweet and sour pork was soso. Rice was mid. Egg rolls were decent. Fried biscuits were actualy really good. Fried dumplings themselves were good but needs a better sauce. All in all it was a okay place had much better.

I moved to des moines 7 years ago and have tried so many chinese restaurants out here. This is the one ! The lady upfront isn't rude at all like all the other reviews say . She gives you the energy you give her. And in the Asian culture it is to be expected. The food is ALWAYS FRESH & delicious coming from a Denver native 🤞🏾 if your kind to her shell give you free cookies which are yummy 😋

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jeff Pierson · Oct 2025

Normally I don't complain about nothing. The last eight minutes trying to order was very stressful. The lady that answered was yelling loud also super rude, I had to repeat my card number four times. I was checking to make sure everything was right and she kept being rude and yelling and talking to someone in her language at the same time. When we were finished she hung up on me. I sure hope my foods good. 30. To 45 minutes for delivery. We'll see!!!????? Service was terrible. Also i didn't give five stars i only wanted one star. Period.

I am a nurse at a local hospital we were very rushed that Sunday. I ordered from here without doing any history on this restaurant and I ended up with food poisoning. Afterwards I checked online and this place has received multiple violations from the state on their practices of handling food. The food I did eat was only a bite or two and it was horrible-DO NOT GO HERE. I will be turning them in.
