At the Ankeny location ... Great food. Started with the pork dumpling appetizers: crispy yet moist in a light fresh ginger sauce with fresh scallions. I prefer white chicken; so we ordered the orange chicken. Oh my gosh ... perfectly crispy with the highlight of orange sauce with fresh broccoli and carrots. It was wonderful. I had the raspberry vodka martini (so good I ordered a 2nd) and my husband had the smoked bourbon. Everything was exceptional. Our server Kaitlyn was so helpful and personable - professional and really made our experience special. First time I have ever written a review of a restaurant, the food and service are highly recommended. Thank you, Kaitlyn for making our meal fabulous~~ Martini cocktail before meal with the heart was a sign of a wonderful evening.

Decided to try Wasabi because we bought the $100 gift card deal from Costco (spend $75 - get $100 in gift card value), and we loved it! 😋 We were greeted + seated immediately upon arrival on a Thursday night. I really liked the lighting & atmosphere, I thought it was very relaxing. We ordered— • lychee / passionfruit lemonade • raspberry lemonade • Korean Fried Chicken (appetizer) — it was okay, I was expecting more but can’t figure out what’s missing. • 4 pieces of salmon nigiri — Good quality fish! • eel + cucumber roll • salmon + cucumber roll • chicken fried rice — it had a really good smoky flavor • shrimp lo mein — I wanted to keep it simple and I love noodles. I thought the lo mein here was fantastic and it had the perfect portion of vegetables + protein. Our server Alex was very attentive, patient, and friendly with the two of us. Wasabi is lucky to have an employee as great as he is! Total was ~$97 for everything excluding tip. We will definitely be coming back. :)

The overall experience was a whirlwind and honestly just has left me wanting to select the other locations for future dining. I ordered take out from this location for the first time as I have ordered from other locations in the past. After picking up my order I checked the bag briefly and noticed that I was given the wrong appetizers. I quickly went back in since I was in the parking lot still and explained the situation and they remade me the correct appetizers. Once I got home and unloaded all the food, I realized I was missing more food items including all our sides of rice and soup. The other thing that caught my attention was ordering the sesame chicken came with a sweet and sour sauce you would find at a grocery store and not a sesame sauce. In hindsight I should have read the description more carefully as they said it’s made with a sweet and sour sauce, but I just assumed it would be a sesame sauce due to the title. I called and explained the items that I was missing and that I was confused about the sauce. I felt like the conversation was going back and forth and they originally wanted me to come back out and grab the food I was missing, but I live a little farther so we settled on a partial gift card for my overall order. Overall, it was disappointing to have multiple items on my order incorrect or missing. I do appreciate them offering a partial gift card which is why I’m giving 3 stars for service. Just a forewarning for to-go orders to check all food items before leaving - I will do that in the future!

I had an incredible dining experience at this sushi restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a sleek, modern design that still felt comfortable and relaxed. The sushi itself was absolutely top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a testament to the quality and care that goes into each dish. The specialty rolls were especially impressive, with creative combinations that really worked. What truly elevated the experience was our server, Julian. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made some excellent recommendations based on our preferences and took the time to explain ingredients and pairings, which we really appreciated. Julian struck the perfect balance between professionalism and a genuine, welcoming attitude. We left feeling full, happy, and already planning our next visit. If you're a sushi lover—or even just sushi-curious—this place is a must-try. And if you get Julian as your server, you're in for an even better experience!
