Tuesday night around 5:30-6 walked in and stood at the host stand for about 10 to 15 min gentleman at the bar, a red haired waitress and brunette walked past me 3 times and not one said a single thing just stood at the bar and talked, restaurant was empty can now understand why. Don't recommend.
Food was mid at best for a $38 bill. Our service was horrible, no one was at the front to greet us and our server Lin was extremely short and rude. As soon as we sat down we started with waters and she acted like that was the go ahead to ignore our table. She came around twice once to order and another to give us our check. The food was subpar for its cost- the noddles were over cooked and the curry was bland for being advertised as spicy. She stood over my shoulder watching me sign the bill and put 0% for the tip. Horrible food, horrible service don’t recommend.

My first time going here but my friends took me, go almost every time they're in town. It's an elegant looking atmosphere and the food is phenomenal considering it's sushi it's going to be in the upper range in price compared to other places. But it's well worth it.

Sat at the bar and ordered 2 rolls. Nobody asked how the food was. The manager was behind the bar the whole time cleaning and ignored me. Whe I got done eating he told me my waitress would be by shortly. Did not feel welcome. Would have ordered more. Great food.

Not from IA - happily a food snob. Had multiple Michelin Star Japanese/Sushi - spots around the globe.
Wasabi impressed me on the Sushi end of things. Solid quality. I had the Sake, Unagi, Hamachi, and Spicy Tuna Roll. All of them were fresh and tasted good, the Hamachi was exceptional.
The rolls are done properly, meaning the rice ratio is on point.
The Rice Lager was interesting and an overall good selection of beer / liquor.
It’s a bit expensive, but getting quality Sushi to land locked Iowa certainly can’t be easy so it’s worth it!
The staff were all nice and took good care of me.
I will def be going back to try the Ramen.

Best sushi place in Ames and probably the entire area. I have eaten at A LOT of sushi places over the years, and this is one honestly one of the best. Tuna Princess, Marilyn Monroll are must-try sushi rolls if you are a sushi lover. Atmosphere is great and whoever is on aux has a really great music taste.

Ive always loved the food here!
Tonight we came in and waited over an hour for our food, when I brought it up to the manager she apologized and explained there are 3 new cooks in the back that are still learning and training. I wish them the best of luck i truly do! The manager was very polite and professional and we didnt pay for anything, she even packed it up to go for us and sent us out. We love coming here and eating and we will be back for sure
