Well above average take out with a lunch special that is a great value. I was pleased with the speed of service, freshness of egg roll and Rangoon, and fruitiness of sweet and sour sauce. The general tso's could have been much spicier. The fried rice could of had some veggies in it. The corn/chicken/egg soup was a bit bland. Overall good though!
Far and away the best Chinese food in Ankeny. Their Mongolian is the best in Des Moines. Great prices and good size portions. Only concern is its cash or check only. 5.0 rating

Stopping through town. Service was extremely fast and friendly. Food was fresh. My son loved his sesame chicken. Prices are cheap for portion size. As others mentioned not a ton of spice. That being said I would definitely go back.
The reason why this place has 90% approval rating is the food! Best chinese in Ankeny! Try the House Pho. Spice it up. Killer taste.
My go to. Fast service, fair prices, friendly service. What more could you want? As everyone else talks about, they only take cash but well worth it! Beef and pea pods is very good.
Food. Ordered kung pow beef which was supposed to be spicy - absolutely no spice whatsoever. My husband ordered combination lo mein. the shrimp that they put in the dish looked like grubs, smaller than half a fingernail on the pinkie finger. He ordered it to be hot and again no spice. ordered potstickers and the sauce they gave us was about 2 tablespoons, vowed not to go back,
LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Best crab rangoons I have ever had! I love that the food is fresh and made to order. I love how I can add extra snow peas or broccoli to any meal. This is the cleanest Chinese restaurant I've seen- which means your food I also clean and I can appreciate that!
Good cheap lunch. Pretty basic but quick and easy. cash only
Best we have found. Only complaint is the portion size for take out. Wish they offered two sizes or larger portions for leftovers. Tried Jade Garden, egg fu young was horrible, sesame chicken was smooshy and gross. This place is way better!! People are nice, our food was ready quick.
Its decent. Its okay. Better than Thai Flavors? Absolutely not - not even the same league. Its your typical fast food Chinese. Its odd they only take checks or cash. The reason this place is so highly rated is that its fairly decent Chinese for a good price. The 5 star hot is spicy, but not something that makes me break into a sweat. ;)
Love the beef lo mein and the hot and sour soup! Yumm
I do not know how anyone could not like the food. Have been eating here for years and the price is right, service is fast, crab rangoons are so fresh and tasty.
Their stir fry dishes like Kong Pao Chicken and Mongolian Beef (attached) have always been consistently good. Food was hot and stir fried well instead of some other places that tasted more like steamed foods. Place was clean and lady at front was polite.
I love this little gem in Ankeny! We've had carryout most times, but today dined in and so happy we did. The fried potstickers are delicious and the House Pho was everything I hoped it to be. Fragrant and healthy broth, tender slices of beef, and hearty noodles🍜
I found it a little odd to place the food order in a line, rather have menus tableside...but the food more than made up for that! I also suggest you get some hot tea with the meal....just feels right!
I definitely recommend this place!
This was the first time that I had been to Lucky Bamboo Asian Cuisine and was very happy with our order/ food 🍱 and will go back and hopefully they are consistent with their food. At was a little concerned when I arrived because they had some difficulties with finding my order I thought about leaving but after paying for my order on line I thought that I should wait. Lol ! Any way I will go back in the near future. As always I will keep you posted on things.
I was new to Ankeny and tried every Asian cuisine around. This is hands down the best for flavor: brown sauce and crab Rangoon is how I make my judgement. Their sauce is incredible.
Ordering online for carryout is easy and the money goes directly to the business instead of a 3rd party delivery service.
Get their Mongolian beef, you won't regret it!
We have been coming here for 10 years. Very affordable. Hot and sour soup is our favorite. Their specials come with main meal, egg roll, crab Rangoon and soup of the day.
