We have eaten at Zuzap a number of times; sometimes in the dining room, sometimes take-out, and sometimes delivery. Every time it has been wonderful food at a reasonable price. It's tucked in behind Trostel's Dish and Anglo International diamond store in a little strip mall, but don't let that deter you. It's a great place to eat!

Great long-time Des Moines area restaurant that moved to a new location a few months ago. Recently got an excellent review by the Des Moines Register's restaurant critic, who is really good. Just ate there tonight and I'd love to give them a good review.

My daughter has traveled extensively in Asia and likes good Asian food. She likes the Mandarin Grill and so do we. The food is presented pleasantly and meets our expectations in spice levels and taste. Whether we order in or have a take out the food is ready and served hot. I enjoy their sushi and always look for something new. My husband loves their beef and vegetables and we all like the mixed or triple delight of veggies beef and sea food.

Wow, this was an excellent Chinese buffet! The quality and variety of Chinese fare was outstanding. I got a kick out of the crab rangoon. Not only was it tasty, but massive as well. If you are a fan of this kind of cuisine, give Buffet City a try.

If Z'marick's would do on-line ordering, I would be in trouble because my visits would substantially increase as this place is already so convenient for me to lunch at everyday if I chose to.I've only ever had two items here: Scotcharoos and their Thai Stir fry over Brown Rice. Amazingly delicious. The spicy sauce, lime flavored rice and roasted peanuts is something I have not tasted, found anywhere else. Great service. Decently priced and flavorful, healthy if you stay away from other carb, cheese heavy items. ( Which I've heard are great too but I prefer their healthier options here....outside of a giant Scotcharoo once in a while )

I consider myself quite the foodie, and Ohana's is my favorite restaurant in my hometown of Des Moines, hands-down. The quality of the food is outstanding; the atmosphere is fun; the staff is friendly. I order the Royal Combination with a filet and scallops - I would say their best known dish. The steak is cooked to perfection, and the lemon sauce they make in-house for the scallops is... addictive, for lack of better word. We have been there so many times now that our order has gotten bigger and bigger because they offer so many delicious options. We always order with garlic and chili powder now, and an appetizer of calamari as well - which is not the typical chewy calamari you think of, but instead is tender, well-seasoned, and unbreaded. I could go on and on. The sauces are all amazing. Just don't plan on having room for dessert, because in all the years I have eaten there I have only ordered it once I think - never enough room. If you're a light, or even medium-eater, plan on having leftovers.First off, Courtney, I have to thank you for visiting us all this time! It's wonderful the scallops, steak, and of course the lemon sauce always hit the spot. I look forward to welcoming you back next time you're back in Des Moines.All the best,Marco, Manager

With the exception of one other Thai restaurant this is the best Thai food we have had outside of Thailand.Pad See Ew and Spicy Basil. Flavorful, absolutely wonderful. Could hardly stop stuffing our mouths. The Summer Roll was spectacular. Huge, fresh, with a little cooked egg in it. Two sauces, peanut and sweet and sour. Can't say enough. Highly recommend!!!

The only positive is they don't chop the mess out of your food anymore... Not sure why it's so highly rated... Maybe it's quantity over quality or maybe it's the kids digging the cooking in front of you... Not sure. I had the chicken and steak - both were tough and the pieces so thin you could almost see through them. The place was DIRTY! There was food everywhere - on the stations, on the floor... we were walking on it and sliding around although not on purpose. The area is pretty tight when there's a crowd. The glass above the sauces and the length of the ladles made it impossible not to spill sauce either into other containers or on the station itself. The egg drop soup we got as an appetizer tasted like water. I guess people just love buffets?? I would hit my local Asian restaurant first in a heartbeat. We were not impressed. Sorry.
