"The lobby smells amazing and the robes are ridiculously soft."

"If you're into spiders, fleas and the occasional death, then this is the place for you. It's affordable, but for good reason."

"Go with rice noodles. Your tastebuds and/or gluten intolerance will thank you later. Also, didn't realize they had udon – definitely look for it on the menu. And don't skip the dumplings!"

"Best pizza in town! The Milano is wonderful."

"Fun place to people watch or dive into the crowd. The dance floor makes you want to join in."

"You can't truly visit Des Moines without eating here. Spiked milkshakes are good, but you'll have to make room!"
