A much-needed addition to the paltry Johnston dining scene, Wasabi is perfect for groups or a date with your main squeeze. The atmosphere in the dining area is modern and energetic, and the food was amazing. There's a small outdoor dining area, the bar is pretty neat if you like sitting at one of those, and the main dining area has plenty of booths and large open tables to choose from.We ate here with a group on a Friday night in the summer, and it was quite busy. The staff was able to keep up with everything and the service was quite attentive. We ended up sharing some rolls and a couple bottles of wine - it was a really nice night out. I was pleased with the selection of fish / sushi rolls, everything was fresh and well presented. The next time I eat here, I want to try one of the sushi dinners for two - it seemed like a really great value and the food looked amazing. Our bill was less than I expected it to be, and the food was much better than most sushi places. Overall, I was really impressed.

I've been here many times in this place gets a lot of hyperbole about being the best sushi in Des Moines. It may be I have unreasonable expectations because I lived in Japan and Hawaii and California. There are at least two other sushi restaurants in Des Moines one downtown in one near downtown that are equally as good or better in some ways. They still haven't cleaned up their bathrooms here and it really cost a lot of stress to one of the people I was with and there's not too much excuse for that. they also serve a variety of food which is one of the reasons I wanted to come because one of my friends does not like sushi but wanted a Chinese food. the problem is they don't know how to get it together or at least the last time I was there they did not know how to get it together so the meals came out at the same time and not one on one over 15 minutes. If you read my review so you can see that I normally don't post too much negative things and if it's a really bad experience I don't post it all. I just don't think they deserve all this kind of rave reviews that they get one it's really not that special. having said that if you have reasonable expectations you'll have a fairly good meal just be prepared to wait and realize that the parking also is miserable especially in the winter they don't go out and salt things so it's can be dangerous when the parking lot freezes over and what you have to walk in.

I really liked all the options. It would take a few visits to try everything i want to eat. Unique drinks to go along with the meal. I will be back next time in Des Moines area.

This was our second visit while traveling. Experience was not as good as the first time. My mahi-mahi nightly special was overcooked. My wife's swordfish was also overcooked. The restaurant is large with a number of dining areas and bar. Wait staff are friendly and competent. There is also a seafood retail market connected to therestaurant.
