Our team finds daily joy in sharing the art of sushi and hibachi with others. By creating both fusion and traditional-style sushi rolls, sharing flavorful Japanese entrees, and serving fresh hibachi-style meals, we're able to serve the greater West Des Moines community with ease. Every night here is one to remember -- whether in our dining room, at our sushi bar, or in the Hibachi grill room where our specially-trained chefs offer dazzling performances, preparing fresh meat, seafood, and vegetables at your own table-side grill.
