Japanese Restaurants near West Des Moines

“I visit the Ankeny location pretty regularly and love this place! They always go above and beyond for me, provide a great service with great tasting food, and are very friendly. I recommend all my friends to go try it when they get a chance. Due to it being good tasting food that is good for you without all the added calories you get from other fast food places. Cameron, the manager, is a very good guy, is always working hard in there and runs a good crew. I highly suggest everyone try it!“

“Ordered Grubhub. Arrived timely and secure. We had several sushi rolls, two salads and the San Francisco app. Overall pleased with order. Spicy crunch crab roll was good. Decent flavor and good crisp. The tuna mango roll lacked some seasoning. The San Francisco was a little off color but smelt and tasted fine. All rolls benefited from some wasabi and ginger. The wasabi was the hottest I have ever had. I love wasabi and this was good but tread lightly at first. The salads were the best part.“

“Wife and I enjoyed the Hibachi for dinner. We ordered the NY Strip Steak and Chicken dishes (We were able to get these gluten free). The portions were perfect size and the chef was great. Absolutely 0 complaints and would come back again next time we're in town.“

“Visited Jordan Creek Mall and had to try this place. We got 2 orders chicken teriyaki - one with noodles and one with fried rice. I would say the fried rice is ELITE! It was super yummy; next time I will probably pass on the noddles and go with the steamed or fried rice. Also, a super big plus is their crab rangoons. AMAZING!!! Pretty quick service for how busy it was!“

“JUST got done eating there, 1st which I didn't want to cause a fuss, my steak was well done NOT medium rare like I ordered and I asked to split the shrimp and steak like have the half order of steak and half order of shrimp and our server said, "Sure no problem" well got the check and was charged an extra 4 bucks and when asked about it our server said, " I asked my manager and they said we couldn't do that" well that would have been nice to know, horrible service!“

“I love Haiku so much! The sushi genuinely tastes fresh and the service here is always amazing. Our server was so kind and made the experience that much better. The ambiance of the place is nice - they have beautiful blue lights that feel futuristic. Overall, an incredible sushi place and I would highly recommend.“

“First time coming here tonight (from Illinois) and it was amazing. Best sushi I’ve ever had and I’ve had some good sushi before! The presentation of the plate 5⭐️, the quality 5⭐️ the services 5⭐️ I’m definitely coming back!“

“My sister recommended I try the bento box. It was really delicious and was a big portion of food. I had pleasant interactions with multiple servers, which made it a good experience. Our table split a bottle of the white peach sake, super delicious as well. Looking forward to coming again and trying out a specialty roll and some more sake. Service was very fast, friendly, and personable. Really good energy and vibes here. Thank you!“

“Absolutely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. We had six rolls, I will put them in the order of most favorite to least. Vegan Maki Up in Smoke Vegan Maki Black Dragon Vegan Maki Cowgirl Vegan Maki Philadelphia Vegan Maki Hot Popper Vegan Maki Thai Hippie Every one of these rolls was amazing!! We thought we would never be able to enjoy Sushi again after deciding to be Vegan a year ago. It was a wonderful experience.“

“I showed up for lunch today with 5 of my coworkers, we were only on lunch, so time constraints. The food was excellent as always! Best sushi in the metro in my opinion! We had a wonderful time! Our server, Cassandra, was fantastic! Got our bills out to us quickly while we waited on food so we could go when we needed to! And when we realized we were running short on time and asked for boxes, our food was brought our, packed, ready to go!“
