Previously this location was home to King Ying Low, the oldest Chinese restaurant in the United States.We wanted to honor their legacy as we crafted our menu inspired by a fusion of Asian, Italian, & Polynesian cooking styles, to create our unique pizzas and other food offerings.We paired all this with the tropical and fun flavors of a Tiki bar to present one of the most unique dining destinations in all of Des Moines.No matter when you join us; a few slices for lunch, our amazing happy hour, dinner, or late night for slices after a great night on Court Avenue, you can expect an experience that is uniquely Fong's.
