15 Best Japanese Restaurants near West Des Moines

“Very friendly and helpful staff. They genuinely seem to appreciate their customers. Food was delicious. Tried Boba tea for first time. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Teriyaki House.“

“Great place love the atmosphere“

“This place is exactly what it needs to be, and versions of this are in every mall I have ever been to. The food is good, cost effective, the guys running the place are quite friendly, and everything is rather consistant. No need to go any further into detail, it is a solid place.“

“Teriyaki Madness is a fast food restaurant specializing in teriyaki dishes, preparing all orders fresh rather than in advance. I used to go to a place like this years ago in Nashville and always wished we had one in the Des Moines Metro.

The restaurant is ideal for individuals who are running errands, grabbing a bite on their own or have limited time. There is a small seating area, so I would not recommend this place for a large group. Takeout is available, but I recommend you order ahead, given that all meals are made to order and may require a wait.

The bowls provide a well-balanced meal of protein, carbs and veggies. The menu, though focused on teriyaki, has a notable range of choices. You select from different protein options and pick either white rice, brown rice, or noodles, and you have an option to add stir-fried veggies. Appetizers include egg rolls, edamame, potstickers, and, my favorite, crab rangoons. Best of all - the food was amazing. My only complaint is the ice tea is not freshly brewed.

Customer service is attentive and staff maintain a friendly demeanor. Additionally, the restaurant utilizes durable plastic containers for takeout, which are suitable for reheating, dishwasher use, and repeated use.

I will definitely be going again!“

“very good food. Not a buffet. All food is cooked to order. This is our second visit and will definitely be back again.“

“Everything was absolutely top-notch! As foodies from a foodie city (Portland, OR), we know good food, and the food here is stellar! The sashimi salad - incredibly sophisticated ginger-based sauce and amaranth shoots with freshest fish; and the scallops over Japanese eggplant, leek, and Iowa sweet corn was one of the best entrees of my life. Topped off with incredible wine pairings and espresso-crusted crème brûlée, a top 5 of my life dining experience!! Bravo!!“
