Aroy-Dee Restaurant

Wow! So glad we took a leap of faith and tried this place. The pho was amazing and the serving sizes were filling and then some. We ordered our pho to go so they sent the broth separate from the noodles, veggies and any ordered meat/seafood. A couple packets of hoisin, red pepper and soy sauce were included as well as a lime wedge. It reminded me of hotpots and I enjoyed the complexity of flavor more after letting it sit for a few minutes. Plus, the broth was scalding hot so it needed a minute to cool. My daughter tried the chef special catfish and loved it. Pad Thai was also very good.

This was our first time visiting Aroy-Dee Restaurant which has been on our list of places to eat ever since we moved to Des Moines last year. It was worth the wait. It's a small family owned restaurant that features Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese dishes. The dining area is small and clean and the server Kam was very attentive and friendly. The food was prepared quickly and was extremely fresh, beautiful and delicious. We started our meal with fresh shrimp spring rolls and followed it with a dish called Ladna Shrimp which is a Thai wide noodle dish. The menu has something for everyone. The prices are very reasonable and serving portions are generous. We will be returning here again and recommend that you give them a visit yourself!

This is a great gem for Asian in Des Moines. The food is very tasty. The staples are great like their Pho, Pad Thai, and Thai Fried Rice. Their service is helpful and attentive. I will definitely be trying other dishes I have seen other patrons enjoying.
