After visiting for the first time, I don't think I'll be back despite the convenience. The exterior of the building is pretty run down, but sometimes that's part of the fun - a little hole in the wall joint. Yeah no this is just plain run down inside and out. Not clean. Not cute. There are some decorations but the interior is really an afterthought. This is a carry out kind of place. The service was fine, at least! Just counter service but still, the woman who took our order was pleasant. The food, however, left a lot to be desired. We ordered crab rangoons, egg foo young, and empress chicken. The sauce on the egg foo young was pretty tasty? But that was about it. It wasn't terrible, but really bottom of list as far as stuff I've had. Nothing was cooked super well, and the flavors were just so-so. Neither of us had a great experience in general.

I've passed by this place for years. Never heard anyone say anything good or bad about it. Last…read moreMonday night I was craving Chinese and made a special trip to Sam's Fine EggRolls, only to find that they were closed on Monday and Tuesday. As I had driven right by Mr EggRoll I decided to stop in there to get takeout. It was 30 minutes before they closed. I should have known something was wrong when the General Tso's and rice was given to me in about 2 minutes. When I got home, I dug in only to find each piece extremely chewy and stringy. I had to wonder how long it had been sitting in the heat tray? I tried 3 bites, and gave up and threw it in the trash. Needless to say I won't be going back. Maybe if I had gotten it fresh made would have made a different story? I'll never find out.

We wanted a quick lunch before catching our flight, and this was conveniently located near our…read morelocation. Seating was plenty and room was spacious, with Thai-Vietnamese-Chinese decor. There is limited table service, as many amenities are self-serve. As an Asian, this was great: let me eat in peace :D. Nonetheless, the employees were pleasant and came to check on us to clear our table. We seldom dine at mixed/fusion Thai in California, so expectations were low upon seeing the menu. They have a small menu, but enough varieties for everyone. We ordered Khao poon with tofu, after-school fried rice (what we call pineapple fried rice), and eggrolls (not pictured). The soup was great: enough spiced, fragrance, and heat -- added extra chili flakes for my preference. However, the only disappointment was the tofu, as they were not cooked in the broth, simply added prior to serving. Would have loved them lightly fried for texture and flavor. Then again, it is the Midwest, so I didn't expect many tofu lovers for them to go through the trouble. Still rate it 5/5. The fried rice was delicious: Requested level 3 spiciness, which was too spicy for my uncle, but he managed to enjoy it. He would order it again, but at level 2 spiciness. The portion size is big enough for two more meals, so he was happy about that. We would dine here again next time we visit Des Moines.

The atmosphere was fun and modern without feeling overdone. I was happy to see that the Thai tea could be made with oat milk. We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, Lao sausage, Dala dumplings, and Nam Khao with sour pork. The Nam Khao at spice level 3 was milder than expected but still enjoyable. The dumplings had a great texture, and while the filling was bland, the dipping sauce made up for it and was delicious and complemented the dish perfectly. The Lao sausage was sweet and garlicky, but the sticky rice was a little dry. The Pad Thai was just how I like it with fresh vegetables and not overly saucy. Parking is hard to find, and it is on a busy street. So plan accordingly. It took us about 15 minutes to find decent parking that was half a block away. We didn't mind the walking, but we thought there would be a designated parking lot. But there is not unfortunately. Overall, we had a good experience and would recommend this spot if you are looking for Lao and Thai flavors.

I ordered the cashew chicken lunch special and the Singapore rice noodles. The food arrived sealed which I really appreciated to ensure that my food was not tampered with during transit. The cashew chicken tasted really good. I wish it came with more steamed rice though. The lunch special came with soup, crab rangoon and egg roll, all of which I enjoyed. The Singapore rice noodles was really spicy and had a lot of curry flavor. It was good even though I'm used to less spice and less curry. I would order from here again and try other dishes off their menu. The food was prepared quickly and delivered to me quickly. I appreciated that they were open on Easter Day.

There are about 7 different restaurant options with a wide range including teriyaki, chicken sandwiches, Mediterranean, burgers, pho, etc. I chose teriyaki bros. I got the "lunch special" which was the chicken teriyaki, veggies, fried rice, and a fountain drink for $12.99. The chicken and veggies are cooked fresh for each order and they give you a very sizable portion for the price. The workers were all very friendly and you can order and get your food very quickly. This is a great little food court for people who want good food at fair prices, or groups that are craving different types of food.

The best way to find it is look for Wingstop and it is next-door. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress, and she had us sit down because we were dining in and she would take our orders and bring our food. We started with crab Rangoon and they were hot and fresh. They were pretty good, but perhaps a bit more shell than the yummy insides. I had Mongolian beef. It was tender with fresh vegetables, but did not taste like the Mongolian beef that you normally have. It was rather plain so I added soy sauce. The accompanying rice was fresh and good. Friend had cashew chicken. Same thing - - wasn't like cashew chicken she ever had before. It actually had lots of green and red peppers and she had to pick those off. The lunch meals only come with rice. The place is clean and bright. I think I would give it another chance to see if I could find something a little more flavorful.

My boyfriend and I stopped in early on a Friday evening. We walked in and were immediately greeted…read moreand the 4 tables were all open. We ordered egg rolls, crab rangoons, beef lo mein with egg drop soup, and hot and sour soup. It was our first time here, so we wanted to try it all. The food was delicious and plenty for my boyfriend & I and a small amount of leftovers. The egg rolls lived up to the hype everyone is talking about. I am not typically a fan, but these were delicious. There's a spice or something that they add that levels up the flavor and with a nice crispy crunch when you bite into it, you can't go wrong with these. We also really enjoyed their rangoons. They were cooked to perfection, but what makes them even better is dipping it in their duck sauce. 10/10 for the egg-rolls and the crab rangoons. For the main we ordered the beef lo mein. It had so much flavor and we enjoyed it a lot. We also tried both the soups. The hot and sour was good, but I have had better elsewhere. My boyfriend really enjoyed the egg drop soup. He liked that it had veggies and tofu in it and was different than other places we have tried 9/10. We really loved this place and are already planning to come back soon even though it is 25 minutes from us, but it's totally worth the drive. Everyone working was so kind and they continued to make sure everything was good with our meal.

There was a line all the way to the door. It's a very popular place. I got the Yusiang Chicken and my husband got the Hunan Chicken. The entrees came with either: an egg roll , a crab Rangoon, hot and sour soup or egg drop soup. I really liked my entree. It was spicy and sweet and came out piping hot. I thought the egg roll was just average, though, and was disappointed that there was no homemade sweet and sour sauce that came with it. There were just packets of duck sauce. My husband thought his dish was just ok but his crab Rangoon was delicious. It was filled with a slightly sweet cream cheese filling. I had a bite of it and agreed it was very tasty, The service was very good and the employees were very friendly. I thought the prices were pretty good and lower than other Chinese restaurants we had been to. The amount of food we got was really good, too. We both ate half or what we got and had leftovers for lunch the next day. That's always nice. I would definitely come back again. They serve Laotian and Thai food, too. I'd like to try some of their potstickers and get more of their yummy crab rangoons next time.

Ariyan is on the former Oh Sushi location in the Beaverdale area…read more Oh Sushi had an all you can eat (ayce) sushi option that I used to get about once every couple of months. After they bought the business and before rebranding to Ariyan they did away with the all you can eat sushi option. Understandable, but it's one of the things that made Oh Sushi as popular as it was. Though the variety of options was less that Izumi or other buffets who offer ayce sushi in the metro... The quality of the sushi at Oh Sushi was above and beyond. This elimination really disappointed me at the time as well as others. That being said I knew that eventually I would get to Ariyan. My daughter and I stopped in this past Saturday for lunch. Parking is available in two nearby lots and on the street. Seating is all low top tables and chairs with a bench along the South wall. The decor is the same for the most part. Tasteful and modern yet traditional. The host station is now in the Southwest corner v. the Southeast corner (closest to the door). I'm not sure why they made that change... It seems a little awkward for the host station to be that far away from the door. It also eliminated one of my favorite tables to sit at... The menu is extensive with a wide selection of sushi and rolls. They also have some typical Chinese and Thai options available. I was happy to see two of my favorite rolls still on the menu. We ordered: 1x Anger Management roll 1x Black Panther roll 1x Orange chicken (spice level 3 with white rice) 1x Miso soup (came free with our order...one of the specials) 2x Waters Service was good. The young lady serving us was attentive and seemed nice. The specials were a little hard to follow... At the time we were there they were running 15% off of select items and a free side. I'm still not sure what we ordered to get the free side... Lol I tried a piece of my daughter's orange chicken. I liked it. The sauce had good flavor. The breading was starting to fall off and I think she would have preferred it a little more crispy. The heat level for a 3 was appropriate. The base flavors of my two rolls were the same as they used to be. Same components and sauces, but there was a weird grit to both rolls. It was hard for me to pin down what exactly it was. I'm still not sure if it was just a different rice or something else... Despite the difference in texture they were both good. But not the same... I shouldn't have expected them to be. While I was overall happy with my experience at Ariyan I'm not sure it's enough to make me drive over to Beaverdale anymore. I can get similar menu options at any of the Wasabis, Cool Basil, or Mandarin closer to where I live in the metro. I realize this review is somewhat jaded since I'm comparing it to the former business model... A place I held close to my heart. I almost wish Ariyan had changed it up 100% and not tried to carry over pieces of the Oh Sushi menu and experience, but not all of it. I would still encourage you to try Ariyan out! Especially if you are close to the Beaverdale area...! It might end up being your favorite new spot for sushi and Asian cuisine! https://www.facebook.com/ariyandsm/
