We always have a great experience at the Wassabi in Waukee and that’s why it’s the only one we go to. Today we had a new server named Gavin who did a fantastic job and the food was excellent as usual. The curry is so underrated and is one of our favorites!

Wasabi in WestDes has been one of our favorites for a long time. Recently our son turned 16 and is only request was dinner at Wasabi. Needing a large table, using their reservation was easy and fast. Hunter treated us like VIPs and stewed our group timely and accurately. Thanks for Hunter and the Manager, Doug are great hosts.
