Restaurants in Ankeny

“We went for my son's birthday and I decided to use the app for the first time. I did it wrong but they seated us within a few minutes of arriving. The waitress was efficient and did a great job. The ribeye was fantastic. I always love the bloomin onion. They gave my son a big piece of chocolate cake for his birthday. We had a great time.”

“Hiya! I came to Ocha two times only, and I'm in love, the lady in pink is my favorite! I rate this a 4 though because of the location, took me HOURS to find tbh, thank you!!!”

“Our Food was INCREDIBLE! Everyone enjoyed their meals. The price was fantastic! We will definitely be back! This was our first time here. The staff was welcoming as soon as you walked in, our waitress was helpful and we got thanked by the staff as we were leaving. Great atmosphere to be in!!”

“Great wait staff. We didn't have to ask for anything. I had the Tacos Carnitas. Fantastic! My son had a burrito that could have fed the whole table. Definitely going again to the Ankeny location.”

“A wonderful experience until today. I gifted 2 months of a membership to my mom and had purchased a $25 gift card on 11/3/23 thinking it would make a good Christmast gift. After attending a couple of events, she wanted to use the gift card now knowing what type of wine she wanted, however; the card had expired. Even though "their system" wouldn't accept it, it's unfortunate they would not honor it or provide a new one. We've spent hundreds of dollars here and this was our go-to spot. We understand why these systems are in place, but will be looking for a company that's willing to "bend the rules" to help and support their regular customers who have supported them.”

“1st visit here last night. Will not be our last! Great food, great drinks, good portions, reasonable price, great atmosphere! Our group had 4 entrees: Salmon, Pasta Primavera, Chicken Amigio, and Ravioli in a custom Alfredo sauce. We also sampled the sugar cookie martini's.”

“Last week was my 1st time here, but the staff treated me like an old friend. & the pizza was amaaazing. While waiting for my food, there was a little girl who was dancing & fell (she was alright). The staff were very kind to her & even gave her a big cookie to have for dessert!”

“Sushi was delicious, the Unagi roll melted in my mouth. We were a bit disappointed that they don't have a lunch menu like their other locations, it was a bit spendy for lunch.”

“We came to celebrate a friend's achievement. We had fun. Clean environment. Tough learning curve. I golf and I couldn't get anywhere near my actual stats. Good fun for a night out. Not sure I'd use it to coach me .”

“The proteins are cooked well and the ginger dressing is fantastic. The chicken katsu is an absolute must for an appetizer. The prices have really jumped...expect around $20-25/person after tip. When Ken was cooking, he cooked salmon with the skin and made the skin crispy...a real treat. Unfortunately, the new crew doesn't do the same. Gnats were flying around during last visit.”

“District 36 is one of our favorites. The food is always good and the staff is always friendly. We love that we can pop in for a late lunch /early dinner at 4:00 and they will be open. We love sitting in the bar, very relaxing.”

“We chose to check out in a lane that had a first day cashier. The girl bagging the groceries was very helpful to him and us. He accidentally double charged us and the girl took it upon herself to get the approval from management to get it deducted and get us going to keep the line moving!!! Very impressed!! Thank you to the two working isle 5 today!! You are what Hy-Vee is supposed to be!!!”

“I've been coming to the juice company for years. Just recently visited their and kidney location for the first time. I'm still great drinks. Do you know I'm a diehard when I keep coming back for the mad green gallon?”

“We ordered Club Car for lunch today for our office and I cannot recommend it enough. The food was fantastic. We ordered a bunch of pastas, salads, cheese curbs and the bruschetta dip. Highly highly recommend the pasta dishes and appetizers! All super tasty.”

“Came here with a buddy and wanted to see the big dude burger that they use in the challenge. No one had a picture, but the server asked the kitchen and they ended up making it for us just to see. It was very good and if you eat it in 7 minutes it's free.”

“Can’t beat the happy hour (3p-6p) they offer, such as $2 domestic pints. They also have $5 apps for certain choices like wings, fried pickles and wontons. Was disappointed they took their Jen’s Chicken Egg Rolls off the app menu and have reduced their menu overall but still a great place for a relaxing, affordable spot to go without crowds.”

“This is now our go-to restaurant when we want to impress our guests! The food is always phenomenal and the environment both fun yet casual-elegant. The service is of the highest quality and the server always puts on a high energy show - we love them! The amount of food and the quality of food keeps us coming back for more!”
