Hy-Vee in top 100 best Chinese restaurants list

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa Chinese Restaurant News has named Hy-Vee’s Chinese Express to its list of the top 100 Chinese restaurants and chains in the United States, Hy-Vee announced last week.

Chinese Restaurant News lauded the dining service in two categories of its annual awards: overall excellence and healthy menu. The publication determines overall excellence by high scores in cuisine, decor and atmosphere, service and cleanliness. The healthy menu designation was based on Hy-Vee’s entrees with stir-fried meat and vegetables and nonuse of trans fat or MSG.

“Hy-Vee’s Chinese food service is successful because we have more than 400 highly trained Chinese chefs and countless dedicated helpful servers, who are constantly looking for ways to improve our customer service and food offerings,” assistant VP food service Greg Frampton said in a statement. “We’re also dedicated to offering customers options so they can accomplish their healthy lifestyle goals as they relate to nutrition.”

Hy-Vee operates the dining service at 127 of its 198 supermarkets.
