A Dong Restaurant

#97 #16 were great options for entrees, 97 having a delicious creamy coconut sauce, meatballs, cucumber and noodles and #16 having delicious egg noodles, pork and other meats that tasted divine together. #140 was the best soda i have ever tasted at a restaurant, the egg yolk frothed up so perfectly and made the drink a dream. Finally, I am not sure what number the coffee was, but it was delicious, strong and sweetened to perfection with the sweetened condensed milk. This was my favorite restaurant I tried while in des moines for the debate tournament. The two gentlemen who were working there were very friendly and remade my coffee when I observed it wasn’t as strong as my friend’s (the second one was perfect). Best intersection of best food, best service and best prices in des moines that is not fast food. Definitely would come again if i ever end up in iowa again!

Great healthy food, great service, and an incredibly clean restaurant. I've been a customer for over twenty years, and it's one of my favorites.

The food is very fresh and the establishment is fine. Service... cold.

Wonderful Asian food. Many selections. Prompt service. Reasonable price.

Food was delicious. Recommend the cashew beef. Staff was very chill.

This is a restaurant I have had nothing but good experiences with in the past, however I just did a carry out order for the first time and am pretty disappointed with it. I ordered the Mực Dồn Thịt with extra seafood and not only was there no extra seafood present but the dish itself was lukewarm, wasn't very filling and was all around underwhelming. The chicken stir fry was slightly better but had the same issue with serving size. Whether this was just because it was carryout or just a bad night I still like this restaurant I was pretty disappointed due to the price.
