"This was the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life! They gave me the option of a lunch special or a full dinner order, and I chose the full dinner order. However, when it finally arrived after an hour and 20 minutes, it looked more like a small lunch special. I even double-checked with the server to confirm it was the dinner order, and he said yes. But when I tried to eat it, it tasted awful. It seemed like they didn't know how to properly cook chicken or make an orange flavor. I also ordered egg drop soup, which was equally terrible. To top it off, I paid $26 for this meal, which was the worst dining experience I have ever had. I felt completely deceived."

I would give this restaurant a negative rating if possible. The chicken was extremely dry and overcooked, it was almost impossible to even cut with a fork. It was as hard as a rock. I do not recommend wasting your money here. The crab rangoons were also disappointing, and I usually love them!

This place is not recommended if you are looking for freshly prepared food and good service. The server was very rude and unhelpful, even overcharging us for our order. The only drink option was water which wasn't automatically provided. The food arrived quickly, but my General Tso's chicken was already cold and my kids couldn't finish their lo mein as it was too hard. The atmosphere was unpleasant and there was no public restroom available.

Ordered Mixed Vegetables with Hot and Sour soup. Also ordered Chicken and beef Hunan style Extra Spicy and a shrimp egg roll. My girl can't eat fried food. She loved the soup and the vegetable dish. My spring roll was adequate. A little heavy with the cabbage. My dish was excellent as it was very meat forward. One complaint. I ordered it to be very spicy. I'm a hot head and eat raw Thai peppers. I told them to add a ton of them. I rated the dish a 3 of 10 on hotness. Iwanted it to melt my face off instead I got an Americanized version of hot. I ordered hunan for the heat. That was very disappointing.

"The Coup de gras after I ran the Des Moines Marathon: I went down to see Dirt Burger in downtown Des Moines. What I got was the best veggie burger no, the best BURGER I ever had. Why? It was muddy and savory, saucy and full of different textures. It was a perfect mouth. Like a big Mac, only without the disappointing patty and bread in the middle. I know you'll say I forgot and taste like meat. No. I know for some people the ideal burger is a meat patty with fat that runs down your arm. I understand. I have preferred a veggie burger, and I think that is more interesting with many impractical tastes, and it's health food except that with so many whole food ingredients it is somehow. But it felt really exhausting for me, especially when I recommended it with their real potato frits and the tiger sauce the staff. And she was right. As they once said on my beloved show boss! with Lenny Henry, I never had a liquid as good as in my life. They had vegan shakes that looked absolutely amazing, but I had no one to share, and I knew that I would be in pain after I had everything in... I'm funny too, but I had a granola in the hotel room I was pretty excited about. Anyway, all this and gluten-free as I ordered it on the GF reel. The staff was also incredibly friendly. I'm seriously jealous that Iowa has this joint, but it's all for the best as I would win 5 lb a week if this place was on the street."
