Nut POB Restaurant

This is my favorite Thai / Lao restaurant in the Des Moines metro area. The Pad Thai is great.

Wonderful vermicelli dish VM2. Haven't been here in years. Great food and service.

As we were sitting here waiting to order, I realized I have been dinning here for about 25 years now. The food is always excellent and we keep coming back for our favorites. Do not come here if you are in a hurry or really hungry, as the service is usually pretty slow. However, tonight the service wasn't too bad. You have to order the Angry Catfish, fried chicken wings, and papaya salad as these are a few of their signature dishes. Also, this is the only place I know of in the metro that serves khao poon (let me know if you know of another). We also really enjoy their pad sew ew, pad thai, and laap. If you have been here, it is definitely a hidden gem on the south side, just don't be in a hurry.
