Another little known Asian place - Fawn's

If you're looking for some good Asian food at a great price, head over to Des Moines' east side and try Fawn's Asian Cuisine.  It's right off of 235 at the Penn Ave exit, so it's really a short drive from anywhere in the metro.  

They serve all of your Chinese favorites like mongolian chicken or beef, beef or chicken and broccoli, etc. and have lunch specials for around $6.95 that include an entree, rice, egg roll and soup.  The food is served quick, the service is good and most importantly the food is good!

I like the broccoli chicken which comes in a white sauce with lots of fresh carrots and broccoli.  The chicken is always white meat, which is a must for me. I'm not a big fan of the mystery meat you get at some places.

Josh really likes the Pho.  He prefers the chicken to the beef, but the broth is very tasty and has a lot of soft rice noodles and fresh veggies and herbs with it.  

They also have curry dishes along with other thai favorites too like pad thai.  We haven't had a bad meal yet and can always do lunch in under an hour.

They don't have a separate kids menu, but the portions are big enough to share, or order them a chicken satay appetizer (chicken on a stick with peanut dipping sauce) or other appetizer.  The waitress will bring us a little of bowl crispy noodles on the side too which our kid likes to munch on.

If you like iced coffee, don't forget to try a "cafe soda" which is basically iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk.  Josh is addicted.  We think Fawn's is another little known great restaurant in town.  Give it shot!
