Business Summary what's this?
For two star Vietnamese, try A Dong Restaurant in Des Moines. This inexpensive establishment is one of the popular restaurants in the area. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a family atmosphere. This restaurant is good for groups. Diners found the food always great.
5.0 of 5 stars.

I went to what my friend claimed was the best Vietnamese in New York and it wasn't even close to our beloved A Dong.

Light, refreshing and full of flavor! With over 100 menu items it may take some time to find your number. The service cen be so-so or even nonexistant when they are busy, but take out is always great. When...

Fast, friendly, welcoming place with fresh food - just not my taste. For asian cuisine I usually prefer Japanese or Thai over Vietnamese, but it's good for what it is. Worth checking out for sure.I...

I have only been here once for a later dinner. The service was very quick and the food was excellent. The waiter even steered us clear of a bad choice in mixing two flavors of drinks. Will make this a...

My favorite food in Des Moines. I lived here for 6 years and would eat there at least twice a month. Probably would have been more often, but they only took cash at their old location and I was a...

My peers and I like their fresh food. The interior is very pretty as well. Also check out TNT on E 14th street, which is cheaper and just as delicious, but with a less elegant atmosphere.

Great lunch place. Cheap, fast and fresh hot. No frills and not very fancy, but great place to just eat.

I totally agreed with your comment that A Dong is "Overrated" There food is not even good at all. It is okay but so not Vietnamese~~ no taste to the food whatsoever--just simply a lot of MSG. If you like...

I absolutley adore this place. The Pho is THE best. Hands down. Although there menu is a little confusing, it's nothing to lose a star over.

Awesome place. So fresh and delicious, and I don't know what it is about their Eggrolls, but you can't stop eating them. Even if you're not hungry it's a good place to stop by and get a Bubble Tea....

A Dong is seriously overrated. As a Vietnamese, I find A Dong food to be somewhat "Americanized." The food is a bit bland and there is no distinct taste in any of the dishes. The egg rolls are not Vietnamese...

I love Adong, but was very upset when a co-worker of mine (who is Vietnamese) overhead a conversation from the kitchen. The statement was as follows: "just pick it up, it is for the American table".
