Heavenly Beef With Sticky Rice*
Mark R.

I have red curry with chicken whenever I eat Thai and this one was pretty good. Also had a side of heavenly beef with sticky rice, which was a first time for me. A little tough but tasty. Dining room was neat and clean and service was good.

Pad See Ew (top) and drunken noodles (bottom)

We ordered and had delivered by grub hub. it was a great delivery situation. it was delivered about 10 to 15 minutes earlier than expected and was hot. I ordered Pad See Ew and Steve had drunken noodles. I liked his better and he liked mine better. they send a prepacked set of silverware and napkin. not done by the restaurant, bought sealed packages. mine didn't have a fork and we had no access to silverware. it was difficult to eat my meal. I don't hold that against the restaurant though. we both had plenty for leftovers the next day. we both ordered a 3 and was perfect for us. plenty of kick.

California Roll

Finally visited De Rice for a dine in experience. Still meh. Ordered the chicken pad Thai and shrimp curry with an edamame appetizer. Everything was hot and fresh. The flavors were still off. Pad Thai was probably the only thing I would come back and eat since it was decent. It was in the bland side but it was ok. Yellow curry with shrimp tasted like it was missing something. Edamame was steamed and then barely season with any flavor. The restaurant is very pretty. Large and modern. Patio area looked very pretty but faces a busy parking lot. Service was fine towards serving us although was not satisfactory in solving problems. Environment around us was VERY loud. We were sat in the booth area, one booth away from a party of drunk women who were extremely loud and obnoxious. They were talking loudly in the beginning but we were able to ignore. But once we received our food and we're in the middle of eating, the women were very boisterous. It made our dinner experience poor. It seemed silly to move our seat mid meal so we dealt with it. We asked the server if she could ask the table to be quieter, it didn't solve the problem. If anything it got worse. We ended up just asking for take out boxes and leaving with half eaten meals. It's too bad our server or the manager of the restaurant were not as aware of the group being disruptive to the booth area. Even after asking the server to help. I know the server tried but the situation never deescalated. I probably won't visit again after two "meh" experiences.

Homestyle Chicken

4.5* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 5* Service: 4* 5/25/2023 Update Yet another great stop - this time we enjoyed a Pama Mama Mule (see picture), Heavenly Beef with Sticky Rice (see picture), Crispy Chicken on Ginger Rice (see picture) and a Larb Salad (see picture). As always, all of the dishes were shared by both of us, were delicious and I'd highly recommend all of them.

Forgot the name but it had shrimp tempura, asparagus, cream cheese, avocado all inside and on top was a slices of sirloin. All good things!

Love the dining and bar area. Huge menu selection. Everything we ordered was soooo good! Service was decent. Will definitely be going back!

Chicken and cheese roll and chicken noodle soup.

We continue to enjoy anything here. My husband likes all the curry dishes including green curry and massaman. Samurai role was good too.

Cucumber Salad
Mark O.

I placed an order for delivery through Grubhub. I ordered the spicy noodle soup for my entree and the curry puffs as an appetizer; the curry puffs come with cucumber salad. I asked for three stars (out of six) as my spice level, which was appropriate. I think it was five spice powder, as I'm pretty sure I tasted a bit of star anise. The included lime wedge helps balance the spicy out. Chicken was cooked well and I felt I got a good portion for my money. The curry puffs were mild in flavor. Filling was reminiscent of a samosa for comparison, but with yellow curry. The food was packaged appropriately , with all parts separated out; even the cucumber salad. Highly recommend; hope to dine-in soon!

We've ordered from De Rice for years. They are always fast take-out and always great quality. One of our standard go-tos for sure!

W-Tao is a great place to eat before an event at the Des Moines Civic Center! Only a city block…read moreaway! The miso soup was nice and hot (but only had two pieces of tofu lol). The spicy edamame had a little kick but nothing too crazy. The sushi was very fresh and everything we ordered was really good. The waiter seemed to be new bc he seemed nervous but the overall service was pleasant. The vibe was chill, the temperature was perfect on a sub-zero freezing day, and the lights were the right 'dim' amount. I recommend this restaurant and I definitely will be eating there again.

Stopped by this place for a quick bite before attending a show at the Civic Center. We walked in…read morethe place was quiet inside, but there were 3 people at the sushi bar and we waited and no one greeted us for several minutes before I spoke up and asked if they were open. A lady swung around from the bar and said "oh I didn't see you." Turns out she was the hostess. Food was ok, a bit pricey in my option. We ordered very basic rolls California and shrimp tempura rolls those were $6 and $9. I was with my teen daughter and she only like California rolls. So it was fine. I've had better sushi ironically in Ankeny. For a quick bite this was fine- but I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Service was ok. Food came out fast but was well paced with the appetizer we ordered first. However our server wasn't overly friendly and seemed like she didn't want to be there at all.

4.8* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $38 02/21/2026 Another great stop at Ninja Sushi Ramen...and again on our way home from Mass on Saturday night. This time we started with a Mango Margarita and Super Dirty Geisha - both highly recommended! For our dinner, we started with a Beef Negimaki (see picture) appetizer and really enjoyed it! The sauce was so good that I found myself literally trying to spoon up all of the extra before they took the plate back! For our dinner, my wife ordered the Cha Shu Ramen (see picture) and I ordered the Yellowtail Jalapeno Roll (see picture), as I wasn't that hungry. As is our standard practice, we shared our orders and both enjoyed both of the selections - so would definitely recommend them for anyone visiting. Lastly, the Taro Milk Tea looked awfully good, so I tried it - and believe me, it tasted as good as it looks! 11/01/2023 Another great stop for dinner after Mass with friends. Stayed light tonight with the Spicy Tuna Roll, but splurged for a dessert and tried the Mango Japanese Mochi (see picture).

Vibe is good - new, busy, and clubby. The service is quick and attentive. The food is generally…read morefine but the sushi menu could be better - too many tempura and fruity options for people who prefer fish-forward dishes. We got a modest amount of food and iit still cost $40/person after tip. For value, I'd much rather go to Izumi.
