"Our favorite dishes include: - Des Moines Love and Hibiscus drink (delicious cocktails) - Spicy Edamame (full of garlicky goodness) - Koni Salad (heavenly imitation crab) - Crab Rangoons (the best I've ever had) - Fried Rice (incredibly buttery and tasty) - Fuji Yama (an outstanding specialty roll topped with fried shrimp—you won’t regret it) - King Crab Roll (if you enjoy fried rolls, this one’s for you) - VIP Roll (a smoky-tasting, seared salmon-like delight in the form of a tuna roll) - Green Tea Crème Brûlée (I leave the dish sparkling clean when I'm done) Each visit is a treat for the taste buds!"

I had a great time with my date, but the only downside was that the two-seater table we sat at was a little small.

We got the California roll , shrimp tempura and the Italian stallion roll. The sushi is pretty good and I liked the egg drop soup more than the miso. View menu

We ordered the red curry with chicken, but it was filled with asparagus, had very little chicken, and hardly any curry. It felt more like we were eating an asparagus salad than a proper curry.

I got the California roll. the Philadelphia rolls, and the fried rice with beef and chicken. The rolls were really really bad, the rice was hard and the rolls tasted dry and awful. The rice barely had any chicken and beef in it.

Love W-Tao. Walked there Monday during the snowstorm, and it looked like they were excited for the extra tab. Janet was our server, and she took wonderful care of us! We ordered the Black Dragon, Dragon, and Foxy Lady rolls. Could not eat all of it there, but it made a wonderful snack back at home later. View menu

Tonight is my fiancée and I's anniversary. Food was phenomenal, and the atmosphere was great. Would have given a five star rating, but it felt like our waiter was rushing us, repeatedly asking if we were ready for the bill while we were intending on getting desert. They also just came off as uninterested in general. Overall still a good experience, but the service could have been better.

Worst sushi bar ever.The place smells too bad, it 's not from the smoke or food, but from some rotten things.Also, our server (the guy) was really rude: forgot my order, tried to argue when I asked him nicely about my appetizer because the main entries already served did you forget my appetizer, sir? . And he stared at me and rudely said no, you 're wrong. i don 't forget, it is late. I will check it for you .My meal was served on a broken disk also.We saw a lot of good reviews on google so we were so happy to visit. But the smell, the atmosphere and the rude server ruined our vacation night.

"The server was fantastic and she did a great job making us comfortable and attending to us. The ambiance is great and very clean. As far as food goes, it was a little disappointing, decent, but not plate-lick worthy for the price. Guess you arepaying for the ambiance, not the food because I have had better Italian food at a dive bar. Read some of the reviews about burntpita bread and it was the same that came with our cheese dip. While the cheese dip was great tasting there was a bitter taste,it was the same for the Chicken And Prosciutto that I ordered. Took me a while to figure out Store-bought minced garlic. Onesuggestion to the chef would be to use Fresh Garlic/Garlic powder or if you have to use minced garlic, maybe cook it a littlelonger to mitigate the bitter taste. The chicken was FANTASTIC, juicy, and crispy. But overall the pasta dish was justwatered-down Alfredo sauce. I bet it will taste good as leftover after the sauce has thickened overnight in the fridge. Fordessert, we got crème brûlée. As you see in the picture, the sugar was over-caramelized- it should have cracked with the backof the spoon however, it only folded. The burnt sugar made it very bitter and had to scoop off the top layer to enjoy thecustard inside. It was a complimentary anniversary dessert but would have been nice if they treated it as though we paid forit. We will try again another time hopefully we can raise the star points since everyone else seemed to enjoy this place butme. Good luck and apologize for the thorough yet bitter review."
