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.
9. Z'mariks Noodle Cafe

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 )

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!

I really liked all the options. It would take a few visits to try everything i want to eat. Unique drinks to go along with the meal. I will be back next time in Des Moines area.
6. P.F. Chang's
Overall Ratings

P.F. Chang's is a restaurant concept that honors the 2,000-year-old Asian tradition of wok cooking and believes in making food from scratch every day in every restaurant. With a Farm to Wok food philosophy at its core, P.F. Chang's chefs hand-roll dim sum

Located in a large complex of different eateries and businesses. Very spacious. Felt very nice, clean, and new. The food is the obvious PF Chang fare. Tasty and no surprises.

Friendly service. Waitress was attentive and refilled our waters as needed. Ordered the wings for an appetizer, hot and crispy. I ordered pho. Broth wasn't as flavorful as I remembered it last then my noodles were kind of choppy. Also another thing that I noticed was my soup got pretty cold quickly compared to the last time I had been there.

Seriously some of the best sushi in town! Great environment. Always had great service. Triple tuna is our favorite. We probably eat here 2-3 times per month it is so good. We often take our guests from out of town here and they all agree it is awesome!
3. Tsing Tsao
Reviewed By tin_horn
I cannot eat at Tsing Tsao. I confirmed with them that they use MSG. They offered to fix a meal without MSG, but MSG can still be on cooking utensils. That would be too risky for me.

Did not have high expectations of Asian food as tourists in Iowa, but we were pleasantly surprised by our excellent lunch. We shared spring rolls and the Hot Pot with a cup of beef broth on the side. Everything was delicious! Staff was friendly and helpful. We plan to return again before leaving the area. I'd highly recommend it to others.

This restaurant has been open for 19 years. We have eaten here for 9 years. The owner is hands on and the staff is very quick to meet your needs. You must try this place. It's the best in the Des Moines area. This is the pineapple chicken.
