Used to be a great place at their old location, the crab Rangoon was out of this world. But at their latest location, things have changed. The last 2 times I've been there in the past month or so, both the pad see ew and pad Thai have been terrible.. smelling something awful, not supposed to smell rank! Ate them anyway, the pad see ew tasted better as I ate more thankfully, but the pad thai was worse. Having a stomach ache all day today, not feeling the best.. most likely food poisoning.. do not go here! I'll make the drive to iron wok in west des moines, loads better than this!

Over-charged by $3 (or 21.5% on my dish, which also increased my tax and tip amount. If I can’t trust you with your prices, how can I trust you with your food?! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
