I stopped by Rolling Wok this past Saturday night after coming back into town after a trip to…read moreBoone. It's right off of 141 just North of the QT. It wasn't my intent to review this visit to Rolling Wok. But things change... I just know I really like their food, I was hungry, and it was on the way. A perfect storm some would say! I first tried Rolling Wok during the pandemic and their ability to offer pick up via a drive up window on the North side of the building was a great fit for that season. The food and service has always been on point! I sure wish I made it over there more often than I do... Everything comes out of the kitchen hot, fresh, and the depth of flavor is always impressive. The business is in a strip so parking is easy. It's seat yourself. Seating is a small bar and low top tables and chairs. Standard table service for ordering and payment. Love the decor and vibe here. Modern but with a hint of traditional. The menu is front and back and varies from Thai and other regional dishes, including curries, to a few standard Chinese items. We ordered the following: 2x egg rolls 1x Drunken noodles lo mein style with chicken (4-vey hot) 1x Shrimp and beef fried rice (1-mild) 1x soda (Coke products) 1x unsweetened ice tea Abby was serving us last night and she did an amazing job. I'm assuming Abby as that was what the receipt said. Even though she's helped me before I'm not sure we've ever formally introduced ourselves. I need to be better about that... I do know she's the owner's sister. As far as I could tell they were probably a staff of two last night. She was working the front by herself and I'm sure there was at least one person in the kitchen cooking. The food was great as always! The drunken noodles lo mein style is a favorite of mine! A level 4 or 5 really brings the heat... But Abby is the star of the show! So patient and personable...! Couldn't ask for a more amazing host! If you haven't been... Rolling Wok is well worth you making the short trip out to Grimes. https://rollingwokgrimes.com/

FLAVOR! Wow! I was I. The mood for something with noodles in it. But, when I looked over the menu…read morethere were so many things I wanted to try. I asked the server about the papaya salad combo and once she told me it's her family's recipe and the Lao sausage was her fav, I had to have it! My food came out perfectly! Sticky rice was perfectly made, the papaya salad had the exact amount of spice and the sausage was sooo tasty! I'm in town for business, but if I'm back again I would definitely try more of their dishes.

I tried. I really tried…read more I tried to like it again for the 3rd time. The service was fine this time and the environment was ok. The orange chicken was cold. The fried calamari was hard and extremely chewy. No good pieces. The yellow curry was ok but not enough shrimp. The rice that came with it was hard and under cooked. The green papaya salad was not crunchy and the flavor was very weird. The chicken pad Thai was ok but needed more depth in the flavor. Not sure if it's truly Thai/lao food. I should know...i grew up eating it. The service was nice. She sat us outside. We waited 49 minutes for our food. Ok for a busy day. But they didn't have a packed restaurant for it to be that slow. We were 1 out of 4 families in the building. Spent $140.xx before gratuity. It's really sad to see how little business De Rice had. It has potential but the food will tell you the truth about its current state. It doesn't help that there is another Asian restaurant across the street and it's packed out by looking at the restaurant. I don't recommend this restaurant. I gave it 3 chances at different times and seasons and it was consistently the same mid level quality. I will not be returning.

Ordered Tom Ka as medium heat, and was way low on spicy. Ordered green curry as medium heat, WAY too much spicy. Couldn't even eat it. The food overall is edible but average. The service on the other hand was absolutely non-existent. The front is run by, what we guessed it the cook/owner's teenage son. He said literally three words to us during our entire time there. He couldn't be bothered to look up from his phone. We had to go up to the desk to get anything and everything we needed. It was really bad. I gave a point for his dad busting his ass in the back and basically running the entire place by himself.

It was good, but also nothing that knocked my socks off just average. It was a pho with lots of different seafood in it such as crab, shrimp, and calamari. The broth was really good. Also it was a very quiet restaurant with no music playing so the atmosphere was not lively. The service was really good. Total 3.5/5 Team member 2: An absolute delight. When life gives you a lemon, squeeze it onto your Thai food and eat it. 4.4/5 Team member 3: Quite simply, my experience at lemon grass was very, very lovely. The food (i got the pineapple fried rice and had some of my wife's pad thai) was phenomenal. The service was superb. The ambiance was a bit somber but very quiet and peaceful. Plus the prices were very reasonable! Overall, i would highly recommend this place for anyone searching for great food in Adel...... 4.7/5.0 Team member 4: I really enjoyed my experience at Lemon Grass! The food was delicious and very flavorful. The atmosphere was perfect for a meal with family, a chill meal, or generally good conversation, not the most fun atmosphere, but still very nice. I would definitely go back and recommend to others... 4.1/5.0 Team Member 5: I have mixed feelings about my experience at Lemon Grass. My first disclaimer, is that I am pregnant & finding myself very picky with food at this time! That being said, I was disappointed with the Pad Thai, which had a different flavor than I am used to, and too much sauce in my opinion. It was hard for me to stomach, so I ate my husband's pineapple fried rice, which was, on the other hand, very wonderful. Contrary to what some of my teammates have said, I loved the quiet environment. When I walked in, I was comforted by the lack of music and the three tables filled with other customers, in silent contentment with their meals. Overall: 3.9/5.0

Very friendly. - Seaweed salad was pretty good too. The not great: - Outside of the seaweed salad, the food was not great. - The edamame was overcooked and shriveled up. - The rainbow roll came without shrimp or salmon (kind of a bummer since i was sharing with my daughter and those are the two types of fish I know she eats). - California roll was on par with what I would expect to buy at the grocery store. Overall a "meh" experience, not one I'll be repeating anytime soon.
