Been coming here for years, yes service might be a lil off but not anything that would make somebody not come again. Food is always amazing, got a two year old that doesn't like chicken at all but will eat there chicken fried rice like nothing lol there lap is amazing crab ragoons and egg rolls not to say. Don't like the service order to go, keep in mind food is made on order so don't get frustrated when it's taking two minutes longer.

Nut Pob Restaurant Inc will forever have a special place in my heart. The ONE restaurant from DSM that I craved for when I was pregnant living in Hawaii and Vegas. The ONE restaurant that even though it doesn't have the best service sometimes, we would ALWAYS come back. Time after time, all because the food is that darn good. The service is great now but they may not always pick up the phone line. ‍ we put up with it They serve Lao/Thai food and it's always on point. I always, always get the: Angry Fried Catfish- 10/10. They are the ones who originated this "angry" style dish here and I don't care what anyone says, no one makes it better. They can make it good, just not better. Angry Beef/Chicken/Pork Stir-Fry- 10/10. This dish has the same name as the fish, but a totally different sauce. I recommend getting both the Catfish and a meat stir-fry dish. Sometimes it may be more pissed off and sometimes it may be just sort of angry at you. Chicken wings- 10/10. Lightly marinated with a delicious flavor and deep-fried. Simple yet good Crab Rangoons- 10/10. Sweet style and I love it. Combo Fried Rice- 10/10. Great flavors Combo Pad Se Ew- 20/10. Legit my fave Pad Se Ew in the metro. (It's not pictured here because I got a different noodle dish for my son) These are the other dishes I will sometimes get but are always good too: Beef Laap- One of the national dishes of Laos. Beef Salad Papaya Salad- Lao-style here Nuur Nam Tok- Marinated Steak with a great dipping sauce Panang Beef- one of my fave Panang in the metro, next to Lucky Lotus Oyster Beef- delicious and perfect for the littles when they come to eat with us Combo Lad Na- delicious noodle dish with gravy over (this is the noodle dish pictured that our son ordered today) Seriously, everything is great here. Hope you get to try it out next time you're on the Southside of DSM.

The pad see ew is amazing and highly recommend! I also would recommend the pad Thai or angry chicken.

100000/10 stars. I love this place. The food is so good! I love the angry catfish (definitely angry) but so crispy and flavorful. Pho is always so good. The service is very nice as well. I've never had a problem with the service or the people who work there.

Tried the Nur Nam Tuk and it was really good, I got it with sticky rice. The ginger garlic sauce on the side was excellent. The service is really slow, I think this is their vibe however- so be prepared for that when dining here. It's a very relaxed slow dinner vibe. Only inconvenience was that half way through our meal we saw a sign at the hostess table that read "no cards accepted." During our dining time their card machine had gone out and wasn't working. We were told we could use the ATM a few doors down at the liquor store.

This is one of those places you hear about how great the food is, snd hope it lives up to the hype. I'm happy to say it did. The service wasn't very fast, but the food was delicious and a great price. The crab Rangoons were crispy, sweet and delicious. The pad Thai and chow mein were both 5 stars to us.

Beef salad very good Loved the vinaigrette ,sooo good The lo mein was good as well.

Being part Thai, I do enjoy their Thai ice coffee. But because I enjoyed it,my only request to offer a bigger cup size :)

Food is amazing, Best Pad Thai in Des Moines, egg rolls and crab ragoons are amazing as well.

Ordered papaya salad, chicken wings and Nam gai (kow poon). Service was great and they were attentive. The papaya salad was (I think) thai style and was good. It had a good amount of funk and spice (I got three peppers). The wings were advertised as 8 but I only got 6, but it's okay. Just need to fix their menu. The wings had a good fry on it and were tasty. The nam gai was good but I probably wouldn't order again. I'm used to a lot more coconut milk, spicy red oil on top, and a richer broth overall, but I think that's more so Hmong or Lao style Nam gai/kow poon. Overall I'd come back for the great service and the food.
