Visited for 1st time on 5/5/25 between 12:25-1pm. The buildings architecture is the giveaway of it being a former Long John Silvers (closed in 2014), right next door to what was obviously a former dine-in buffet Pizza Hut (both part of the Yum, Yes or whatever the corporation is now called). Practically dead empty for a restaurant that’s been open for 7 years with only myself in main dining area & 2 parties of 2 in the other room that left later on, didn’t see the other dining area, but the main could seat approx. 30; With 3-4 employees working. Menu prices were good, service was friendly & attentive, with the food & portions also good. Not a fan of Sushi or seafood. They also have hibachi…. so had their teriyaki chicken. Bare-minimum aesthetic. The only issue I had was tipping; Bill was approx. $15.50, gave the girl a $20 and stated: “if I can get change back”, she just responds with: “Thank you, come again”… waited 5 minutes while finishing my beverage before leaving and never got the change back. Based on other reviews I’m not the only 1 who’s had this issue of them “helping themselves” in regards to tipping…. Think most folks would see 30% as steep for gratuity, especially for a fast-casual restaurant. Was planning on $3 which is a more reasonable 20%.

First visit but definitely not the last! Food was really good! Presentation suggested a much fancier place and the staff were great. Food came out fast and perfect temperature. Building is an old Long John Silvers and it could use a bigger make over. But you don’t need fancy decor to really enjoy this place, it’s all about the food! The food is going to keep you coming back! Prices are very reasonable also.

The food here is disgusting and the sushi too! I could not even bring myself to eat it the rest! One bite that’s it, what a waste of money!

I absolutely adore this restaurant. I’ve had a variety of rolls here and they have all been impeccable. The appetizers are also stellar. The service and atmosphere appeals to me as someone who is introverted. Me and my girlfriend love coming here and enjoy it every time. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves sushi

“Its iowa, the can’t have good sushi or seafood” you tell yourself. And then weeks go by where you could have some immaculate eel. Eventually, you work up the intestinal courage to buy sea food at the “ninja statehouse” in a small (definitely large for iowa) town in the Midwest. And you suddenly realize, you’ve wasted hundreds on culvers, DQ and pancheros that you could have spent on the best eel you’ve ever had.
Don’t be like me. Don’t second guess the only sushi place in town. Its probably the only because no one could compete with its flavor, service, and atmosphere.
I’ll definitely be back.

They had a large selection of Sushi and the two rolls I ordered were very good!

Good service, the steak needed more favor and needs some spicy sauce. Otherwise I would return

Lunchtime @1pm wkday
Walking in, was greeted and taken to a booth in a side room right away.
Server was polite and friendly, answering questions about the menu.
Old Christmas deco is dotted here and there (end of May) and the room has a mix of American, Japanese, and Chinese decor I can see from where I’m sitting. The blinds and windowsills do not have any dust, looks to be cleaned regularly. A single bathroom at the end of the sideroom denotes male/female toilet. Very clean, if old minimal bathroom.
When food arrived, I was absolutely astounded! I don’t usually get fancy stuff, I turned beet red from how pretty it was. Coming from socal and being particular about fish, I was very happy with the quality of the dishes. We ordered all sushi rolls, and they were all amazing.
At different price points, for lunch you can get a good amount of food for $10 to $30 depending on your tastes. Thank you for the experience! We will definitely come here again.

It was awesome, my son and my 1st time there. The Udon noodles were the BEST I’ve EVER had in 40+ years of eating them.
