Sushi Rolls
Kendra C.

3.5 We made a reservation for 6:15 on Friday night and had a good experience. The restaurant wasn't too packed and the service was friendly and quick. The dining area had cute modern decor with good lighting and a lively mood. We ordered several sushi rolls and a bowl of tonkotsu pork ramen. The sushi rolls in general were average; but we really enjoyed Salmon Godzilla and Thunder. The ramen had a rich, savory broth and the portion of pork was generous.

Christmas cocktail

Food: go to sushi spot (beef fried rice is also amazing) Great service and ambience! Happy hour is a great deal

So I ordered this through grubhub. I'm typically really leery about ordering sushi that's not on a coastal state for obvious reasons, but this place wasn't too bad. My driver handed me a bag that looked like it came from a Tiffany & Co store, so I'm guessing this is more of a high-end sushi joint and not an AYCE, which typically have better quality fish anyhow. I ordered the sushi + sashimi for 1. I'm kind of wishing now that I would have ordered individual rolls. This was sort of a chef's hodgepodge of probably what their best sellers are. I had a California roll, I think with ahi. I had a piece of yellowfin, salmon, and a few others. There are also some nice thick slices of ahi and other fish. I would definitely like to go to this place in person, and actually get to explore more of the menu. I think this particular plate was around 35 bucks, so I kind of wish there would have been like a hand roll or maybe another special roll included with it. But all in all not bad. I mean the bag they send your food in probably costs a few dollars itself.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts - veryy oily which makes it yum yum

The food is decent and I definitely had a nice meal :) We got the Tonkotsu Pork Ramen, which was lowkey a lot (I did not end up finishing) and the Crispy Brussel Sprouts which were very good and very fried. The service is amazing! They let us stay wayy longer than we should have T^T Pretty great vibe overall, though the booths felt kinda sticky.... Anyways I recommend!

Takoyaki
Rosie N.

Ambience is a great for a first date vibe. It's quiet enough to get some good talking but it's not dead. So you'll still have the chatter of people but not as loud as other places like a pub or family restaurant. The sushi was okay, I wouldn't say it's the best I ever had but it was fairly decent and fresh. The sushi rice was a bit dry, so rather than a soft pillow and good chew sushi rice it was a bit on the harder side. It honestly needed to be cooked with more water or added more sushi vinegar. But the fish itself was good. No fishy smell, bright vivid color to the meat, and the tempura was crispy. So we'll done there. The maki rolls could've been better. They use tempura crisps in their maki rolls as a filler instead of giving more of the fish. So it's a texture that I don't care for. The takoyaki was perfect. Came out hot, fluffy, soft, and perfectly cooked octopus. It was a sweet and savory appetizer with a good crispy outside. The spicy chicken wontons was perfect too. It was sweet savory and a hint of salty and crispy outside with soft inside filling. The dip paired nicely with it. Finally the fried green tea ice cream was perfect. It was cold on the inside, bitter but sweet green tea ice cream, and the crispy coating that wasn't too thick. Overall would come again.

Kimchi Ramen
Cheryl B.

Nice hidden away Asian restaurant. Nice ambiance! So many wonderful choices! I selected Kimchi Ramen. I know, not the best or creative choice but I need kimchi! I was served right away which was nice as I was running late. So tasty!!

This place has is a great food! I came for a work event and it was a great. The service was outstanding and they kept the glass full of water, they ensured that we were taken care of. I ordered a Marylin Monroll and another one that were very tasteful. They have great Old Fashions. They have great appetizers as well. We ordered a few different kinds and they were all good.

Spicy tuna roll & Salmon Roll
Cortney Y.

Took our boys in for their first sushi session, they loved it. Our server was attentive and was knowledgeable of the menu and what substitutions we could make. Our food was delicious. We went in on a Monday at 730pm and it was busy but we were sat right away. We got the rock and roll roll, spicy crab roll, the crunchy Brussel sprouts which were delicious!, sashimi dinner that came with sushi rice, egg drop soup, and sashimi. The presentation of the food was beautiful and clean. First sushi session was a success & we Will definitely be going back!

Marilyn Monroll
Jaci S.

First off, this location is BEAUTIFUL. We came just before a huge rush of people, and knowing that there's a wait - we know it's a good place!! I LOVE this sushi place, and am only sad that I haven't came sooner!! I tried the toasted marshmallow drink & was so incredibly pleased. The husband ordered the teriyaki chicken & white rice & the portion was ENORMOUS. As you see from photos below, I also powered through 2 rolls myself - our server was WONDERFUL, he is a bartender sometimes, so he was able to suggest such a cool drink & when I tell you I will return for this drink alone. Yum.

Triple Tuna, Marilyn Monroll,  Rock n Roll. EXCELLENT service and very fast delivery of the rolls.

I stopped here with a few friends to get a few rolls on a saturday night. The Marilyn mon roll was delicious and i definately recommend the sweet potato rolls. Our server was 10/10. Will definately be coming back.

Hello!

Loves it. Likes it. Makes me wanna tryz it... again and again. Located in a great area in Johnston and I keep forgetting to come here when I think of sushi and Thai/Japanese food. During COVID19 review: Ordered through Uber Eats...super fast and super tasty. Ordered the shrimp pad thai, no egg. Awesome amounts of shrimp and veggies. Good pad Thai flavor too. Presentation was very nice for take out! Delivery was over estimated for time but they delivered after ordering 15 minutes. This was during Friday lunch period. Order came to $18.xx for meal, tax, and Uber fee. Before the pandemic, I've visited and enjoyed eating patio side handfuls of times. Great service every time. Atmosphere is lovely. Looking forward to going back soon! Highly recommend for a date night, friends night out, or even a great take out option.

See all

W-Tao is a great place to eat before an event at the Des Moines Civic Center! Only a city block…read moreaway! The miso soup was nice and hot (but only had two pieces of tofu lol). The spicy edamame had a little kick but nothing too crazy. The sushi was very fresh and everything we ordered was really good. The waiter seemed to be new bc he seemed nervous but the overall service was pleasant. The vibe was chill, the temperature was perfect on a sub-zero freezing day, and the lights were the right 'dim' amount. I recommend this restaurant and I definitely will be eating there again.

Stopped by this place for a quick bite before attending a show at the Civic Center. We walked in…read morethe place was quiet inside, but there were 3 people at the sushi bar and we waited and no one greeted us for several minutes before I spoke up and asked if they were open. A lady swung around from the bar and said "oh I didn't see you." Turns out she was the hostess. Food was ok, a bit pricey in my option. We ordered very basic rolls California and shrimp tempura rolls those were $6 and $9. I was with my teen daughter and she only like California rolls. So it was fine. I've had better sushi ironically in Ankeny. For a quick bite this was fine- but I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Service was ok. Food came out fast but was well paced with the appetizer we ordered first. However our server wasn't overly friendly and seemed like she didn't want to be there at all.

4.4/5! Got food…read moreto-go - so I can't comment on the restaurant vibe itself - and ordered at 8:30. We were grateful the staff took our order considering they close at 9! We went inside to get our food but you can do a curbside pick up option, which is nice. The food travels well and tasted great! You can also choose your spice level for each dish. I enjoy spice and got a spice level four. I didn't think it was too spicy. If you don't like spice, still consider spice level 2. The only complaint was the amount of noodles in the curry noodle. I felt it was more vegetables, less chicken and noodles. Otherwise, it's a great place to order takeout!

Hello First things…read morefirst! They have ine YUGE menu! Sushi, Rolls, Vietnamese food. I had the Drunken Noodles-recommended in the menu. It was very good. Chicken and noodles with peppers, onions in their drunken flavors. Chicken was tender and noodles done right. I do like things with a little spice. Not over flavoring the food though. I ordered a medium and it had no spice! I had to remember I am in IA and yiu have to make things midwest non spicy probably so you dont have many people complaining. So my point is. If it is not spicy enough ask for some chili oil! Yum yum. The dumplings were very good. They aervice was very friendly! Go give them a try. I am sure locally owned. Just hop in that large menu and start swimming!! I forgot one thing. They seem to have Gluten Free options.

4.8* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $38 02/21/2026 Another great stop at Ninja Sushi Ramen...and again on our way home from Mass on Saturday night. This time we started with a Mango Margarita and Super Dirty Geisha - both highly recommended! For our dinner, we started with a Beef Negimaki (see picture) appetizer and really enjoyed it! The sauce was so good that I found myself literally trying to spoon up all of the extra before they took the plate back! For our dinner, my wife ordered the Cha Shu Ramen (see picture) and I ordered the Yellowtail Jalapeno Roll (see picture), as I wasn't that hungry. As is our standard practice, we shared our orders and both enjoyed both of the selections - so would definitely recommend them for anyone visiting. Lastly, the Taro Milk Tea looked awfully good, so I tried it - and believe me, it tasted as good as it looks! 11/01/2023 Another great stop for dinner after Mass with friends. Stayed light tonight with the Spicy Tuna Roll, but splurged for a dessert and tried the Mango Japanese Mochi (see picture).

Vibe is good - new, busy, and clubby. The service is quick and attentive. The food is generally…read morefine but the sushi menu could be better - too many tempura and fruity options for people who prefer fish-forward dishes. We got a modest amount of food and iit still cost $40/person after tip. For value, I'd much rather go to Izumi.
