" I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! From the perfectly cooked pho to the delightful ambiance, every aspect was commendable. Must-try: the angry catfish - it was the best dish I had during my trip to Des Moines! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, reasonable prices, and warm service. The menu has a great selection, which makes it easy to find something for everyone. I particularly loved the shrimp spring rolls - perfectly crafted and to die for! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was visiting Des Moines and heard rave reviews about Aroy-Dee, so I had to try it out. I ended up ordering the pho and was blown away! It reminded me of the best pho I had back in Vietnam. My family also loved their dishes. The staff were kind and the food came out quickly too. An amazing hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best spring rolls I've ever had! They were fresh, crisp, and deliciously packed with veggies and shrimp. I was equally impressed with the pad thai - perfectly flavored and satisfying. Can't recommend enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a phenomenal find in the heart of Des Moines! The eggrolls were crunchy and packed with flavor, while the pho was aromatic and satisfying. A must-try for anyone craving authentic South East Asian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner here, although it got busy toward the end. The owner was very polite and made sure our needs were met. While everything I tried was great, I was particularly impressed with the battered shrimp - they were excellent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the vibe, but the food didn't live up to expectations. The flavors were flat and lacked the depth of traditional Thai dishes. I might give it another go, but I’ll stick to the basics next time. " (*Curated Review*)
