Best WLM Reviews

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.
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.
I had Mongolian beef, and it was far too salty.
My wife's lo mein was salty too, but at least palatable.
I think this place caters to a mostly take-out customer base, because the restaurant was also cold.
The smell in there was fantastic.
Soup was pretty good.
I'll give it another chance at dinner rather than lunch, but it's not the best place for Chinese food in town.
I got the veggie crunchy lo mein and was incredibly disappointed. It’s just a bowl of cabbage and celery with crunchy strips you put in it. No noodles. It was also the consistency of mucus, I only took a few bites. I have now been puking for the last 48 hours, chills, hot sweats, incredibly strong stomach pains. I’m assuming food was old or proper hand washing was not happening and I got food poisoning.
The rest of my family thankfully has been fine after eating different dishes than me. I will not be back. For $50 for a family of four, I’ll go somewhere else. Order with caution. I hope they get a health inspection soon. As someone who works in a kitchen myself food safety is SO important…
I’ve been coming here since 2014. It’s not fine dining, but it’s tasty Chinese food, and abundant fresh ingredients are used. There is no skimping on anything, ever. I lived less than a mile from it when I first started eating here. Now, I live in Clive, about 15 minutes away. I haven’t found a comparable place near me - and I have tried other eat in and take out places a lot closer to me. No comparison - so, I will continue to frequent what me and my wife call Tasty China!
My new go to for local Chinese food! We ordered around dinner time and it took less than 30 minutes to be delivered. The food was piping hot and the delivery driver was very pleasant! The food was amazing and the portions were huge!
A hidden gem in a strip mall that serves up your favorite entree to order tasty and hot!
The food is always fresh, they cook it right in front of you if you order in. The service is ok, polite. The atmosphere is cafeteria style sort of not very appealing.n
