Hana Sushi was overall a good experience. As a vegetarian, I was happy to see several sushi roll…read moreoptions available. We ordered the veggie sushi combo, veggie maki roll, peanut avocado roll, and shiitake mushroom roll. The veggie sushi combo came with a salad, but it wasn't brought out with our meal and we had to ask for it. The veggie maki roll was essentially fried rolls, which were solid and satisfying. The vegetarian sushi combo had a beautiful presentation, and it included some veggie sashimi, which was unique and not something I see very often. The peanut avocado and shiitake mushroom rolls were fantastic and definitely the highlights. The ambiance was good, the food was solid but not extraordinary, and the service was mid. Overall, a decent spot with good vegetarian options.

The ramen bowls here are massive, and I'd recommend splitting it between two people like we did or plan on taking part of it to-go with you because of its larger portion size.

Long overdue review. You gotta love this pop up for multiple reasons…read more 1) variety - every month is a different special ramen. Both ramen varieties include a meat and veggie option for our vegetarians. 2) they are a well loved LGBTQ+ owned local business - we love to support that! 3) their food is absolutely delicious. Their appetizers are YUM. I definitely recommend the artichoke tempura. It took awhile for me to order here. They are only available for pick up/dine in on wednesdays. I am on Instagram and their Instagram page has been very helpful. They have a how-to assemble on their website. If you're doing pick up, I much recommend getting the uncooked noodles. Literally takes a minute of boiling the noodles to assemble and makes me feel like I'm working with a Hello Fresh meal. Also. I recommend adding an egg with your ramen. Note. You can also order a day ahead and You can put in the time you'll pick it up. They are pretty popular so you do have to be patient since they're making all of this fresh. I have arrived at the time of pick up and still having to wait an additional 15 minutes bc they're stocked full of orders.

Finally joined the Ramen Club yesterday!…read more Luuuuuuv the red curry ramen! I love the flavor of the broth. Much appreciation that it's a vegetable broth. The texture of the noodles were so unique and perfectly chewy yet soft. Found out they are made without egg. The masubi was delectable!! I love how authentic it tasted. I could eat 20 of those. Made perfectly! During COVID19 review: Got take out. No dine-in is allowed. Employees were masked. A simple friendly hello when I arrived for my order. Pick up area was nice and orderly. Several orders were waiting besides mine. Bringing home to put together was easy peasy. We have a bit of a drive, so when we arrived home we had to heat the broth for a bit on the stove. Everything was nicely packaged and labeled. Overall my review is for the quality of food and it was AWESOME! I had very minimal interaction with service so I don't have any thoughts there. I learned of Ramen Club DSM through Instagram and found they have a wonderful word of mouth, social media marketing and following. I loved everything and am a huge fan. I can't wait to have another bowl and MAYBE, JUST MAYBE...dine in once there's an ok to eat there.

Love Taki... Not quite as much as I love Ohana's...but that might be more sentimental than…read moreanything! Taki is a standard Japanese Steakhouse. Like Tokyo in Ankeny they offer teppanyaki style dining with a tableside show at the grill... Or standard dining at a table where you can order the same items off a menu that are offered grillside. Taki is in a strip of businesses so parking isn't an issue. It's got a large lot. We were greeted immediately as we walked in and seated in a booth at the front of the restaurant. We were just hungry and didn't need the show. It was a little chilly inside, but that's Iowa weather and they has just opened the doors for dinner. In hindsight it might have been warmer by a grill. Lol Our server was fantastic. Personable and attentive. Along with fountain drinks we both ordered the New York strip & shrimp, fried rice, soup, salad (ginger dressing), and vegetables off the teppanyaki menu. One medium and one medium rare. The food was excellent as always! Make sure you try their yum yum sauce...! We left full and smiling... Another great visit to Taki!

Tried Taki for the first time and had a good time!…read more We went on a Saturday evening and it was busy, so we had some wait time before our chef arrived. Our hibachi chef was hilarious, engaging, and kept us entertained the entire time! He definitely made our experience more enjoyable. As for the food, the vegetables and shrimp were good and flavorful. However, the fried rice wasn't my favorite. The texture was a bit gummy. The grill area is a little small and very tight! The chairs feel packed in to fit everyone around the table. A little more space would be nice. On the bright side, there was plenty of parking!

The customer service here is absolutely unacceptable. From the moment we walked in, the lady at the…read morecounter acted like we were a problem instead of customers. She immediately demanded to know what we wanted. I told her we were getting soy sauce and a few other items, but she still followed us around the entire store, watching us like we were doing something wrong. Every minute she kept pushing us: "Can you check out now?" We were literally just trying to shop. When I said we were still looking at a few more items, she told us she was "not comfortable" and actually asked us to leave the store. I've never experienced such rude, unprofessional customer service anywhere. If this is how they treat paying customers, I won't be coming back -- and I'd strongly suggest others avoid this place too

I walked out with some frozen pork lumpia, frozen kimbap, frozen Korean cheese corn dog, and some Nongshim gochujang shrimp crackers. My total was $36 and change.

Parking is easy with a them being in a business strip with a large lot. The owners were polite and courteous. I was greeted when I walked in and thanked when I left. She even threw in a couple of free small boxed milk drinks for paying with cash...

Then I saw the community spoons and chopsticks on the table and they were filthy. The food came and my hot and sour soup had no mushrooms or bamboo shoots (ironic for the name of this restaurant) but it did have celery. The tofu was actually ok in this soup. I ordered the Szechuan chicken and it was doused in what the cashier told me was a "homemade brown sauce", but to me it was simply liquid brown sugar. No spice whatsoever, the chicken wasn't seasoned, and the only good part about this main dish were the carrots. I told the cashier about my concerns and she said, "that's too bad, I hope you come back." She didn't offer me a replacement meal or a partial refund. I paid $20 for this experience so you don't have to. I won't ever return.

Staff was friendly as is usual with most of the Wasabi locations. I feel like a recognized a couple people from Wasabi Chi. We were greeted right away as we walked in.

Everything was good as far as the food and the service, but I felt out of place as I found myself reminiscing about the businesses Wasabi Urbandale has taken the place of... The many meals I'd had at the horseshoe bar in Irina's...which is now gone. The special moments shared with friends at Wasabi Chi in my past. I got the feeling of being in any other Wasabi here. It's almost a cookie cutter of Ankeny, Johnston, Waukee... Not that there is anything wrong with that. Wasabi offers consistently good food and service at all it's locations.
