I am Thai and my favorites are:

(1) Spicy Noodle Basil

(2) King and I fired rice

(3) Water Fall beef salad

(4) Tom Ka Kai

You can choose the level of spiciness from 1-4 stars or more. 2 stars is a good start.

“Better than most”

I have visited this restaurant often and done take out many many more times. I would have to say that their food is better than most Thai flavors found in and around Des Moines. Cool Basil comes close but Mao's cooking and her style add a lot to the meal. I used to like Taste of Thailand until their owner went back home and the restaurant suffered. Mao makes a killer Spicy Basil, Massaman curry and Pad thai. My only comment would be to not charge extra for the rice when doing takout -- otherwise, this fine restaurant is very similar to Thai restaurants I've dined at in Phuket, Bangkok and Malaysia. cxz8 - try it one more time; I don't think your experience is representative of the dozens I've had

“Best Thai Around”

For authentic Thai in Des Moines - this is easily the best.  The atmosphere may not be what you would expect, but the food will keep you coming back.  Be careful if you ask for it "spicy hot" - traditional Thai spice is much hotter than most of us Americans are used to.

Best thai food in Des Moines, in my opinion. They also make a Mongolian Beef for me (it's not on the menu) which is just fantastic.

This is a very friendly and good tasting thai restaurant. The service is fast and the food is always prepared quickly. This is especially a nice place to drop in during a weekday lunch even if you're one of the unfortunate that have less than an hour lunch. It is a little small but for some reason there's very little wait time. I've only been during the lunch hour so I don't know about the rest of times there. I've tried over half the menu and it's about as authenic as you can expect around here. I do wish that when I say to make my pad thai spicy they could unleash the fury and give that boy a punch. It's still good though and you can't really beat price and service.

This is the best Thai restaurant in town. Their spice scale is something to be aware of. Be careful what you ask for because you will get it. Owner of this restaurant is the one that cooks. I like places where owners are the ones doing the cooking because you can't get a better cook than that. It is just like eating a home prepared meal.

I recommend this restaurant to everyone that likes Thai and wants to try it out.
