Taste of China - Des Moines

Was just looking for something new and drove by Taste of China, so we stopped. Great decision. We had Pork Egg Foo Yung, the General's Chicken, Egg Rolls, and Fried Dumplings. All good. We'll be back. This is a classic chinese takeout with six or eight tables. The atmosphere is strictly business. The food is great and the staff knows just what they're about. The prices are very affordable. Give it a shot.

My food was delicious! It arrived hot and fresh, the Cab Rangoon were still very crispy and almost too hot to eat. I ordered delivery and it was delivered near Drake in only 20 minutes. Under $20 for one person including delivery fee and tip is awesome. Highly recommend.

First time trying this place and was incredibly impressed! This will absolutely be my new favorite Chinese food place from here on out! Can't wait to go back! The best!!

March 15th ordered out after struggling to find the best place we wanted to try being from out of town I should have just drove to get but felt like staying in, place was booming busy which equaled longer delivery time. To me that’s a great sign, driver was apologetic and super nice upon pick up would get from again but as my wife would put it “order less next time”

I've reviewed Taste of China a few years ago, but we've been getting take-out and delivery from them ever since. We love their food, and they've always given us great service, and great food. My wife still prefers her "usual" of Beef and Broccoli (which is excellent). I have tried many of the different dishes they offer, usually with the spicy symbol next to them on the menu. I don't know if I have a favorite. I like the selections with "triple" in the name, that have chicken, beef, and shrimp, or the Phoenix and the Dragon, with chicken and shrimp, but the Mongolian Beef is also a good standby if I can't make up my mind. I've had a lot of Chinese food throughout my life, from many different restaurants and many different cities, so I have some base of knowledge when I say the egg rolls at Taste of China are some of the best. We always order extra, even if we get a meal that comes with them. Their Crab Rangoon are fantastic as well. I think sometimes my wife would be happy to just have them for dinner she loves them so much. We started getting food from Taste of China during the COVID shutdown, so we've never actually eaten in the restaurant (hence the 3 star rating for atmosphere). As far as I know they haven't reopened their dining room since then. We don't live too far from the restaurant, so we order for delivery most times, and they know us pretty well (and we tip well), so we get really fast delivery. At the risk of other people cutting into our fast delivery times, I highly recommend Taste of China if you want good Chinese food.

Food good, service fast. Order your take out here. Food is consistent, same people running it for years. This review has the current menu and prices. We order here frequently. No complaints. My name is listed as FirstName because I'm a grumpy ass & don't want google putting me all over. :)

Our go to for all Chinese food and has been for 40 years (current or nearby former locations). I live 10 minutes away and the food is ready when I arrive after calling. I always have Szechuan Shrimp or Singapore-style Rice Noodles—both delightful. Appetizers are great too.

We are visiting Des Moines and just wanted to stay in and relax @ the hotel. The reviews for local Chinese restaurants very alot from service to service. The google reviews for here were good so we finally decided to order from here. The price wasn't bad, it was on par for the smaller city near us. The delivery man was very quick, they stayed 35-45 minutes but it ended up being 20-25 minutes. I am use to delivery food being Luke warm and losing its texture, by the time we get it but not tonight. It was hot and couldn't be any fresher. Each dish was delicious (sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, lo mein, crab ragoon and egg rolls). Definitely recommend choosing them for delivery.
