I have visited SushiYa many times because the food is always of the highest quality and the service is impeccable. The creative presentations of the chefs is comparable to what would be found at an expensive Japanese Restaurant in a very large city, so dining at SushiYa is affordable and uniquely special! Waiting times are very short (if at all) and availability of close parking is a plus.

The sushi was amazing! Highly recommend, and the staff was incredibly attentive. I did order the Pad Thai however, and it was not my personal favorite, so stick to sushi if you go!

Super solid sushi right here in Iowa. Same price as many of the alternatives in the area, but much higher quality.

Incredible sushi and service! Our server was really great and offered some really good suggestions to ramp up our sushi order that we went with and were glad we did! Some shining stars were the honey roll, string salad, mushroom roll, and agedashi tofu, though everything was delicious. We really love how expansive the veggie roll selection is and how reasonable the pricing is. The space is small which makes it feel really cozy and it was fun watching the chefs assemble sushi rolls at the bar. You can tell there’s a lot of pride and care taken by the owner. We saw him walking around and checking in on food prep which was nice to see. This place is definitely loved as it was already pretty full when we got there around 5!

If you need a quick bite, Lupita is great. Nothing fancy but good. I ordered a few carnitas and a drink. The order did the trick.

First time back since covid. Better than I remember. They were busy, but we weren't waiting on anything not tied to the chefs. Food was hot, service was top notch, place was clean enough to eat off the tables, and prices are stellar. Cannot recommend enough.
Dietary restrictions: They have a separate gluten free menu
Kid-friendliness: Lots of options, and has a kid's meal special. Plus, they have chopsticks for kids too

Sushi in Iowa? Yes! The soups are great, the fish is fresh, the selection is varied and interesting. Sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the artistry of the chefs. Saw things we then had to try. It's small and fairly close feeling, but everyone was friendly and staff was helpful.

Its hard to spend $100 and not even be asked if I need a drink refill. I still gave a 18% tip however the wife and I are unlikely to return which is sad as we liked the place... It was or 25th Anniversary we felt let down. You guys dropped the ball.
