"The food and atmosphere at this restaurant are fantastic, but the service is truly exceptional! Nick went out of his way to make my daughter feel special and grown-up during our visit. She was just 12 years old the first time we came, and he even took the time to give her an encouraging pep talk about not letting bullies get her down. She really needed to hear that, so thank you so much, Nick! His ability to read people and customize their experience is impressive. As someone with 25 years of experience in the service industry and currently managing a restaurant, I can confidently say that Akebono consistently provides some of the best service I've encountered in Des Moines. The sushi chefs are incredible, too! Overall, it's one of my favorite places. Please keep up the great work!"

We went with another couple for dinner before a show at the Civic Center. We love the “house” edamame! Awesome! Good wine and beer selection. Sushi is outstanding. Good service, too!

The service was quite slow, and our table wasn’t prepared when we arrived for our reservation. The sushi was just average, and it took a long time to have our water refilled. I’m sure there are better options out there.

The food was delicious, and the prices were great. One of my sushi rolls wasnt made correctly, but the staff was very nice and apologetic, remade the roll, and comped it on my bill. In general, the staff is very friendly. Also the music played in the restaurant is very nice. Definitely recommend!Food: 5/5

we had a reservation and arrived on time. there was no host to welcome us for a few minutes. when we were greeted, we were not led to our stand. we were only told. After we had set ourselves on our table, our menus were literally tapped. Actually, I found it pretty funny, but I'm pretty covered. not sure that most of this type of service are impressed. fortunately, we had an excellent waiter and that was excellent. I'm sure we'll return, and I'll be curious to see how we're greeted. View menu

We made a reservation and arrived right on time, but we had to wait several minutes before someone greeted us. When we were finally acknowledged, we were simply pointed in the direction of our booth instead of being escorted. Once we sat down, the menus were practically tossed onto our table. I found it amusing, but I’m pretty easygoing. I doubt many others would appreciate that style of service. Luckily, our waiter was fantastic, and the food was outstanding. We will definitely be back, and I’m interested to see how we’re welcomed next time.

We visited this restaurant for our anniversary, drawn by the tempting menu options and reasonable prices, and we were very pleased with our experience. We tried a bit of everything, and each dish was fantastic. The special sushi roll was incredibly flavorful, and the egg rolls were excellent. I also discovered what truly good Nigiri tastes like for the first time, as I had the seared salmon, which was exquisite. Beyond the delicious food, the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Our empty plates—since we sampled several small portions—never lingered for more than a minute before someone offered to clear them away. We will definitely return and are already recommending this place...
