Japanese Restaurants in Ames

“5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ To start, the food is amazing! Each dish was incredible! Everything had so much flavor and was put together very well. Portion sizes are great for the price as well. The chicken was super tender and juicy with just the right amount of teriyaki sauce, in my opinion. Each sushi roll was put together very well with equal proportions. Not too much of one ingredient to overpower the rest. The dumplings were delicious and perfectly crispy on the outside. Not to mention the sauce that came with them was to die for! The service was great! Our waitress was very patient and helped us figure out what appetizers to get, since it was our first time in. She explained everything in detail and her recommendations were perfect! She even made our drinks (I forgot to get a picture of the strawberry lemonade) and they were awesome! Inside wasn’t too loud or crowded and it’s laid out quite nicely. There’s even outdoor seating, which isn’t neglected by the wait staff. Some places tend to “forget” about the customers outside but they didn’t do that here. All of the staff were attentive and polite. Even with the bar being next to the table we were sitting at, it didn’t feel crowded inside and the tvs weren’t too loud. • Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen • Happy Hour Golden Salmon • Pork Dumpling with Dumpling Sauce • Philadelphia Roll • Edamame • Rock N Roll • Honey Rainbow • Ultimate Chocolate Cake • Turtle Cheesecake • Dragon Berry Mojito • Chicken Teriyaki w/Rice Pics in comments👇🏻“

“I had never before eaten at a Japanese Hibachi restaurant before. Our chef was very skilled and put on quite a show. I had chicken and shrimp. My wife had chicken. Neither of us like onions, but our friends do, so we got to see him build the smokestack of onions. The fried rice was delicious, as he used fresh eggs, rice, and a variety of sauces. It was delicious!!! I didn't know about Yum-Yum sauce! I will be buying some on my next trip to the store! The best part of the meal was I could only eat half!!! I have another full meal of leftovers!“

“We got the steak bento with Cali roll and steak Ramen. So good, perfectly seasoned.“
