First time and did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very relaxed and inviting. Our waitress greeted us promptly with water and menus. We asked for recommendations and she was very helpful. Our drinks came quickly. The margarita was well prepared and delicious. The hot sake and the hot green tea was very good.
We ordered sushi rolls and teriyaki steak. The steak was tender and full of flavors. The accompanying veggies mixed very good with the meat.
The sushi rolls very fresh and had exceptional flavors.
The service was very good, our waitress very helpful and checked on us frequently.
Konomi definitely 5 star resturant with attention to service and fresh food.

My family loves this place, and it wasn’t our first time. The food is amazing, the staff is wonderful, and it’s just an overall comfortable and fun atmosphere. We came here tonight for my birthday, and I got mochi ice cream for this. 🙂

Oxtail ramen? Why yes please and thank you!

I am a sucker for the deeply flavorful cut known as Oxtail. Exquisite beefiness with a unique mouth feel will always be a yes for me! I do lament the fact that as a young man, this cut was one step above scrap. Now though, I am far from alone in my enjoyment of it which has driven the price point up to that of a sirloin or ribeye, in my area.

Back to the meal and experience. The cut lived up to its billing but the broth could have used a couple firm nudges to escape the “one note” moniker. As with any good Asian restaurant, fish sauce was readily available and with that, some soy and chili paste melding the beef, bok choy and ginger, I happily slurped away!

What was a good experience was shadowed by clunky service though. Our meals came 5 minutes apart with my seaweed salad not coming out until after asking for it. I am chalking this up to us being the first patrons for dinner service. I imagine our waiter needed to shake the cobwebs loose and get into his rhythm.

Overall a good experience and would not hesitate stopping in and trying other selections from the menu.

We had a great dinner at this restaurant. Miso soup is very tasty, so was teriyaki chicken and yakisoba chicken. It might be a bit on a pricey side, but the portions are huge. Will definitely come back when in the area. Liked it very much

Disappointing meal. Got the pork ramen, bao bun chicken and pork. Ramen broth was watery, no depth of flavor, no smokiness, just bland. As you can see from my picture, the pork belly (which should be seared or grilled) was just boiled meat. Again pork belly in ramen should be pan seared or grilled before being put into the broth. The bao bun was huge, the size of a large taco. I have no idea why it is that large. It was so stuffed that within a minute of it arriving it was falling apart from the sauce soaked bun (see picture). Extremely salty.

Lastly, the service. We walk in and are ignored for a couple of minutes as employees walk by (at least greet the customer with a hello someone will be with you shortly). We then get our name on a list and sit and wait. Minutes go by and three people come in, get their name on the list, and sit and wait too. Twenty minutes go by and the hostess grabs them for a table. Me and my wife look at each other like that’s odd because they came in minutes after us. A minute goes by and I walk up to the hostess stand. Hostess comes back and I am guessing can see the face I have and says we can be seated and seats us. Perhaps it’s wise to sit the people in the order on your list.

Anyway, bland food, poor service, and a little pricey. And I know my Asian food. I’ve lived in South Korea, traveled to China and Japan, and this food was far from any ramen or bao buns I ate there.

This restaurant seems to get good reviews from local Iowans who haven’t traveled outside of Iowa their whole lives.

We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant since we were in town for an event, but unfortunately our first experience was pretty disappointing.

It took over 20 minutes just to get a drink order in and we had only asked for a couple waters. Then, after getting our drinks, it took more than an hour to receive all of our food. We noticed our sushi sitting on the counter for over 20 minutes, and had to flag down three different staff members just to check on our ramen. We only saw our actual server a few times during the whole experience, and didn’t get any updates until we had to flag down and ask a new waitress to check on what was going on.

Other tables that were seated after us were being served first, and we noticed a few others also waiting a long time or receiving their food in parts like us. When everything finally came out, some of the food was cold. On top of that, there was an automatic gratuity added to our check.

I’ve worked in the service industry for about four years, so I understand that delays happen and things get busy. But the lack of communication, cold food, and needing to constantly ask for updates made the experience really frustrating. I’m open to hearing how this could be made right, but overall, we left very disappointed.
