Some of my family's favorite dishes include their Mongolian Beef, Combination Lo Mein, Orange Chicken, and their (not-so-secret) menu item: Honey Walnut Shrimp! The owners of this local restaurant are the SWEETEST family and I highly recommend supporting them if you find yourself in the Perry area. No one makes Chinese food better than they do! Definitely worth the drive from Des Moines.

I went just before 8 pm on a Thursday night and was the only dine-in customer. There were some people standing outside talking, but other than a couple of carry-out customers there weren't many people there. The seating area was immaculate and they let me sit wherever I wanted. The server brought me a menu immediately. I ordered Mongolian beef. Meals come with rice, soup, and a spring roll. I ordered the egg drop soup and friend rice. The soup and spring roll came out almost immediately. I noticed that the soup wasn't just egg. There were actually pieces of carrots and celery in it, and it wasn't too salty like a lot of restaurant soups are. The spring roll had a crisp, flaky crust. I was so glad it wasn't soggy with oil. The main dish came out before I could finish my soup and before I could even touch the spring roll. The beef had a good flavor, and best of all it was not drowning in oil or some kind of sauce. I appreciated the food and the good service. I plan to come back soon and bring some more people with me.

Atmosphere: Mom and Pop quaint shop with mostly tables of 2-4 and one round table for 5-6 people. Service: We meet one half of the owners, which was the wife, (husband is main chef and she cooks too if they get busy) and she was very nice and helpful in choosing dishes. Food: Combo Lo Mein -5/5 May be my absolute fave Lo Mein noodles. Great flavors and even better when it's made spicy! Sesame Chicken: 5/5 Kiddos loved this and even asked if we could order an extra portion of this to take home. Crispy and not overly saucy. Kung Pao Chicken: 4/5 Great flavors and abundant in veggies, which I love. Sauce is delicious! My middle son also loved their Teriyaki Chicken Skewers. He gives them a 4/5, said it could be saucier but we thought there was more than enough sauce on it. All in all, we would definitely be back to order more of our top three dishes and 1-2 more dishes to try again. We have eaten here for takeout and dine in. Both were fantastic but dine in is just this much better because the food comes out so quick and fresh!

The plexiglass wall that closed off the open kitchen during Covid has been removed. I've been here a couple of times since dine in reopened, but had still done take out anyway as my girlfriend lived not far away there in Grimes. She recently moved... We missed the food...and seeing Lily and Ken! So we decided to drive over and grab a table. When we walked in we were greeted right away. It had been a minute since we'd last been in. I was happy to see Lily working at the counter and Ken busy in the kitchen along with the rest of their staff! Seating is all low top tables and chairs. Mostly tables for four and two. Now instead of table service (like it was pre-Covid) it's more order and pay at the counter. Take a seat. The food is brought to you on disposable plates with plastic silverware. Drinks are cans or bottles. There are no napkins or condiments at the tables. Condiments like soy sauce and spicy mustard are served in packets. Sweet and sour still comes in a cup. Bus your own table into the trash receptacle when you are done. The food was as good as it ever was! We ordered an order of the crab rangoon. These seemed a little lighter on the filling than I remember them being in the past... They were served hot and fresh out of the fryer! I got the Yu Shang shrimp. Probably my favorite entree here and my go to. It was fantastic as always! I struggled eating it a little with my plastic fork... The tines kept bending on the firmer components of the dish. Heather ordered chicken fried rice and added shrimp (extra spicy). Another awesome dish! And I benefited from some leftovers she brought home... Lol I'll say that overall the food here is still top notch... Lily and Ken are two of my favorite owners in the metro! Couldn't ask for two better hosts... Take out business is still booming! While we dined in the stream of people picking up their orders, or coming in to place take out orders, was constant. But... The overall dine in experience has changed... We adapt to survive and we lost a lot of businesses during Covid... Some businesses that had been open for decades... Asian Cuisine adapted to a take out only model and made it through. Can I blame them for continuing to evolve while bringing the dine in option back? No I can't. In fact I want them to do WHATEVER it takes to keep their doors open...! I can even bring my own silverware... Lol I'm really not that picky and can grab something to eat anywhere. I see closure notices come through my feed almost weekly. Some are kind of a bummer, but they really don't impact me much even when it's a place I go to often. No real personal connection... It's different for me here. I'd probably cry like a little kid who just had one of their childhood beliefs shattered... I'm also not going to lie and say I don't miss things the way they were... I think as a rule a lot of us could say the same about many things today.

I'm happy to say I had a much better visit this go around. Still 12:30 on a Thursday, probably another 4 tables while I was there. Food was much better presented and refilled accordingly. Still liked the chicken and broccoli, the Mongolian beef looked good enough to try this go around and was pretty decent. Mushrooms weren't dry, green beans were very good, and the store bought dumplings were cooked perfectly this time. Generals chicken was still a bit too heavily breaded but tasted good. Still not a fan of the black pepper chicken but I think it's just the seasoning itself. The chicken skewers (not actually skewered here) probably stole the show, the fresh batch that came out was incredibly tender. All in all, a night and day difference. I'll be back.
