on Citysearch Dec 04, 2009I like to have a glass of wine while I read the menu (and my paper). The first glass comes promptly, as does the food and then service is GONE. I would order a second glass, but they never come back. I would often order some... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 29, 2009A Dong is such a great place. The location is convenient (by downtown, but far enough away that parking isn't usually an issue), and the fo... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 09, 2009This is a small restaurant, but the food was really good. The service was nice too and they were very patient with me being such a picky eat... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 12, 2008I went to what my friend claimed was the best Vietnamese in New York and it wasn't even close to our beloved A Dong. (more)

on Citysearch Jul 04, 2008My peers and I like their fresh food. The interior is very pretty as well. Also check out TNT on E 14th street, which is cheaper and just as delicious, but with a less elegant atmosphere.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 17, 2008I was at the restaurant a few years ago and was very disappointed at the food and haven't return since. I decided to give the restaurant another try today, and the food hasn't improved: it is still too Americanized and... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 24, 2008This restaurant is my favorite. The food is very exotic and something I cannot make at home. The staff is very efficient and get your order quickly and cook it very well and very quickly. The food is similar to Chinese,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 21, 2008I just spent the last 20 minutes explaining why A Dong is inadequate and this webpage went blank after clicking the done button. So, I'll keep this one short. I'm Vietnamese & from CA and this place makes my palate sad. A... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 18, 2007I totally agreed with your comment that A Dong is "Overrated" There food is not even good at all. It is okay but so not Vietnamese~~ no taste to the food whatsoever--just simply a lot of MSG. If you like Vietnamese's food... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 27, 2007A Dong is seriously overrated. As a Vietnamese, I find A Dong food to be somewhat "Americanized." The food is a bit bland and there is no distinct taste in any of the dishes. The egg rolls are not Vietnamese egg rolls, but... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 17, 2006I love Adong, but was very upset when a co-worker of mine (who is Vietnamese) overhead a conversation from the kitchen. The statement was as follows: "just pick it up, it is for the American table".... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 02, 2006This is by far the best Vietnamese place in Des Moines. The food is always fresh, and there is a wide variety. I live in CA, stuffed with Vietnamese restaurants, and still was not able to find a better duck dish (#42).... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 22, 2004This is the BEST asian food I have ever had, the food is always great and you have to try the EGG ROLLS with the dipping sauce, WOW is what comes to mind. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for dinner or lunch.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 20, 2002Excellent and healthy asian food. We enjoyed 2 new juices from China as our beverage and treated ourselves to their fresh warmed veggie spring rools with peanut sauce. We will be repeat customers after we had such an... (more)
