This is the first time I've had Sushi. It is really, really delicious. The staff hear are the best. I'm here on a Wednesday And they have a family karaoke night. I highly recommend this place.
The food was very good. Ingredients were fresh and the menu had the perfect amount of variety. Very clean and nice people. Will definitely go again. Bonus: karaoke every other Friday!
I love this hidden gem and will def be back! If you're looking for a relaxed and welcoming neighborhood spot with great food, this is it. The sushi was excellent. I got a Cali roll and something with salmon and cream cheese that was tempura fried (I forget the name), chefs kiss!! The owner and sushi chef were so nice and very personable, it made it feel really welcoming. They serve a wide variety of drinks (I saw margarita glasses) and are bringing karaoke back soon.
The sushi was delicious and well priced! I love the owner, she made us feel so welcomed. We can't wait to come back
Great place for sushi in Des Moines. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Open weekdays 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Wow! I stopped here recently when I was early to pick up some friends from nearby Seatac Airport. I was looking for a quick in and out, and trying to satisfy a sushi craving. This place fired on all cylinders. What this restaurant lacks in character, it makes up for in truly delicious sushi. I had a Des Moines roll, hamachi nigiri, some miso soup, and a Japanese beer. It was an amazing meal, and I only wish I had had time to stay for more. My only gripe is that it was freezing cold in here. Somebody really needs to turn on the heat. Other than that, next time I'm craving Hamachi and I find myself anywhere south of the Seattle City Limits I will definitely be returning.
