Dining area with abundant windows at Rolling Wok Cafe, 1534 E. Grand Avenue in Des Moines. (Bill Neibergall/The Register)
The Rolling Wok serves a variety of Thai, Laotian, Pho and Chinese dishes. Bubble tea is a featured beverage, with seven different fruits to choose from. The lunch crowd is usually office workers from the Capitol area, giving the restaurant a bustling atmosphere in the afternoon. Things quiet down for dinner, when patrons are mostly couples and families.
