“ This was my first time here having dinner with my daughter. We went after the dinner rush so service was very good! The place has a cool ambiance to it. The decor kept you busy while you wait and eat, and yes the food was amazing! My daughter really likes the Mochi desserts ”
“ I would’ve given 5 stars, but the hallway to the bathroom had a huge puddle of water and it looked like maybe there was a roof leak. No sign to warn you. Other than that, the food was delicious, the plates and teacups were so lovely! I enjoyed the art on the wall as well. I will definitely return. ”
“ Best fried rice in Ankeny!!! I absolutely love it here. The service is fast, the environment is nice and open, plenty of seating in this place. All around I would say this place is a 10/10 and the people are incredible, keep up the amazing work my friends!!!! ”
“ Love this place every time! Everything's been delicious, service is excellent, and prices are great! We love the Aged Tofu for an appetizer, then this time we got the House Roll and the Ninja Roll. ”
“ Ordered take out. Hibachi dinners were delicious. Had the steak and chicken and steak and scallops. Fried rice was on point. noodles with the dish was simple but still good with everything. Sushi ordered was not the best I ever had, but it was still good. satisfied my craving. Would recommend. Will have to try dining in next time. ”
“ Every time I drive by this place, I tell myself that I want to try it. I’m glad I finally did! -The restaurant is very cute. -Large menu w/ a wide variety of options -We got a few specialty rolls to share and they were presented very well. Very saucy, if you’re into that. Next time, I think I want to stick to sushi/sashimi entrees or try something with lobster. -the avocado bomb was AMAZING. 10/10 would get again -Plenty of seating + parking -Clean restaurant -Would I come back? Yes! ”
“ When I walked in, there was a mother and son eating lunch near the entrance. I had a seat at the bar and noticed young Spiderman playing on the TV. I ordered the chicken tempora bento box for lunch. The miso soup came about a minute later and was hot. Very good, but only a few pieces of tofu in there. While I waited, the child sat at the bar watching theTV, then walked around a bit, talking before being asked to sit down again. Not a big issue but notable. My food came out a few minutes later, and I was shocked by the quality and amount. The sushi and rice was fresh. Their salad was not too bitter and just the right amount of ginger. My favorite thing in the bento box was their pork gyoza. The sauce in the middle for the fried food was delightful! I was pleasantly surprised by this place and would go back! ”
“ Cozy setting, friendly and quick service, generous portion, nice selection on menu. We enjoyed our food. Only the breading was slightly heavier than my taste. Overall a good experience. We would come again for quick bites. ”
