Kwong Tung In Des Mo

Great place, great food. Owners take pride in service and food they make and serve. Always fresh and made to order. I keep going back.

Lack of updated interior aside, this place is great for dim sum!

I am a regular for their dim sum, served every Sunday from 10am to 2pm, and have been for years. There is only one other place in Des Moines to get dim sum (Chop Stix on Merle Hay in Johnston), and the food, selection and physical space are ALL better at Kwong Tung. Love their pearl balls, fried tofu, steamed spareribs, rolled rice wrappers, shu mais, and sesame balls. No carts, as there are a Bo Lings in KC, due to smaller menu and smaller space. Service is slow at times, so I try to arrive before noon, if possible, too beat the after-church crowd.

Chicken feet are very flavorful, the steamed ribs are the best I've ever had.

Just as noted by another reviewer, Kwong Tung shows open Mondays on both their website and on the door, but they are closed Mondays. They also had been closed for two full weeks just before I finally got to try it so probably wise to call to see if they are open before going as a general rule. Finally got to try the egg foo young and it was good. The restaurant is a bit run down and they need to add WIFI, but overall it is decent Chinese, although I prefer Sam's on SW 9th overall.
