My main entree (Lobster Soup) was full of shrimp, scallions, and ramen noodles in a steaming creamy broth made for two and not just one. My server—Morgan — was fabulous and very attentive to our every need. Even though it’s $$$, it is a relaxing place to dine.

Made reservations for 4pm on a Saturday. Seating for 8. They greeted us and sat promptly. Our server was great! She checked on us frequently and kept drinks full. The menu was very easy to understand with clearly marked cooked verse raw food. The server was able to answer any questions we had. The food was very fresh, prepared perfectly. The flavors and quality where the best we have experienced . Best sushi resturant in the area. I can't say enough positive things about the service and food.

Best sushi I've ever had. Any time I'm in Iowa I rush here! I absolutely can not get enough of the Cali Dreaming sushi roll and get like four rolls every time I go here! Their wings are also very delicious as well as their calamari rings and crab rangoon. Service always depends on how busy they are but I've never had a problem with waiting because it's literally the best food. I've also never had a problem with receiving my food. Presentation is also just beyond perfection. Very affordable. This place makes me wish I lived in Iowa! It's so special to me and I will forever be thinking about it. The atmosphere is very fine dining but you might see me shoving my face every time lol. The conclusion is I definitely recommend and will be back. Who knows just might have to take a flight just to come back here.

Haven't been here in a few years. Don't recommend the calamari. It was overcooked and there was too much crunchy breading. The tuna and salmon sashimi were fresh and delicious. Godzilla roll was great. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Good experience overall.
