Excellent sushi! Very well prepared and presentation was amazing! Wait staff was very nice and the sushi chef was very kind even provided samples!

The food is bland. The hibachi chefs aren’t very good, so you get lots of burned food. Burned and bland don’t mix well. Don’t even bother with the soup. It’s basically warm water in a bowl. Also not okay that employees yell at customers. I don’t recommend and will not be back. There are too many other hibachi restaurants that are much better.

I’ve only been here once. It was exciting watching them prepare our food & that part was great. The food they prepared was merely okay. They forgot our sushi, but we weren’t charged. The drinks were good, but service on drinks were slow. Also, majority of workers aren’t Japanese but they’ll tell you they are(as to not get in trouble). I don’t really care their ethnicity. I care about food & service(and cleanliness). I have yet to go back. And while I don’t say bad things to people about this«steakhouse» I don’t recommend it either.

I’m reviewing this based on drinks, appetizers, and the wait staff since I already had a big dinner when coming here for a friend’s birthday party. Our waitress was nice and fast and was friendly while serving our big party. We got the miso soup and squid salad. Both were pretty good… I liked the squid salad more. The drinks were cheap and tasty. I did smell the hibachi dish that someone ordered at our table and it smell good lol. The sushi that others ordered looked appetizing as well. Though they looked smaller in size compared to other places. Though that just makes it easier to pop them in your mouth!

Had the lunch bento beef teriyaki. Food was ok but flavor not great. Portions were small but adequate. Hot tea had a bit of a strange flavor. The service was fine. Overall it was ok but do not think I will go back.

The food was great for a first timer there. I have to say the shrimp was a shinning moment, I’m going back for those for sure! I tried my wife’s steak and it was tender and very flavorful. The scallops were small, but tasted ok. The girl who waited on us left a little to be desired she was no frills all business and never smiled. When she asked us a question and we didn’t respond she immediately left. If you hesitated she got right on you to hurry and make a choice. Not a real concern, a little rude, a little off putting, but it wouldn’t stop me from going back. The Hibachi Grill Chef was very experienced, but didn’t interact with our table much. As I had seen him do with other tables. We have been to many grills like this and it seems that part of the show is the interaction with the chef. He didn’t even explain the sauces he placed on the table. One tasted like ranch dressing, which didn’t do much for me. As it wasn’t even a very busy night it kinda seemed odd. We arrived at 7 and think we were one of the last grills seated. Bottom line food is very good and it is why I would return.

Great place to go for family dinners, exceptional service and the staff caters the experience to the environment. Went in with family and they were super kid friendly and went in with friends and the cook was absolutely hilarious. Must visit.

Best sushi in town and in the Des Moines metro! Always friendly and attentive service. The one time we had to wait with a large party, they offered us all a free drink as a customer service gesture. Our go-to for sushi!

Still think this place is underrated for it’s quality of sushi. I’ve eaten at a lot of the top sushi placed in Des Moines and this place is still my favorite! I go there about every week and they know us by name. The service is great and fast!

We have been to Tokyo Steakhouse several times. The sushi are good. Service is attentive enough. I think i had their Ramen, but don’t remember exactly what it tasted like. ha. I need to try it again. Wednesday nights are sushi and martini special nights. You can get 2 rolls for 17. Not a bad deal. I think they make them smaller. Martinis are 4 each. They are weak compared to other places. If you’re in a hurry, sit at the bar. The chefs can finish up your rolls in less than 5 mins. Overall it’s a great addition to Ankeny dining scene. I haven’t been there on the weekends, but the parking always looks full.

Been there for lunch twice now and been happy with the service both times. I never have to wait for a table. Food is served quickly and always tastes amazing! Both times I have gotten tempura and I highly recommend it!

This place has great sushi and really great lunch /happy hour specials. I recommend the Crunch Roll or Gangham Style — they are great! I like the atmosphere here, the booths are quiet and have high backs. It’s a good spot for dates that way. Frequently, I eat here for lunch. The Bento Boxes are good value, I like the salmon best. The past few times I’ve had the chicken it was dry. You can also have Teppenyakii. The chefs are inconsistent — we have had great ones, and a few that were light on personality. It’s not bad, but there are better ones in town The best part of this place is the sushi, specials and quiet atmosphere.

Love this place for sushi. Come here for their lunch specials! 2 rolls for $ 9 or 3 for $ 12 served with soup and salad. Service is super friendly and they remember you if you come in often. Sushi is well made and delicious. So are the drinks. This is a nice place to come for lunch! Especially for the price!!!

We’ve eaten at Tokyo in Ankeny 5 times. The first time after they first opened was great. Hibachi grill entertainment food and service all great. The second time was a birthday party a year ago and again good food and service. The third time we made a grill reservation for 10 but when we arrived they gave our grill to a larger party. They pulled together 3 dining room tables for our group apologized and gave us free sushi. The 4th time with a group of 8 they incorrectly billed us for things we didn’t order and couldn’t figure out how to fix. after 3 attempts we just paid for what they thought we had. The 5th time our party of 10 had to ask for drinks 3 times over the course of 10 minutes for everyone to receive drinks. The hibachi cook seemed rushed in his presentation and didn’t seem like he was enjoying himself. As soon as the food was served our waitress immediately brought out to-go boxes rushing us to eat as quickly as possible. Five minutes later she was asking us to leave because a group was waiting for our table. We still had food on our plates. This place started out great and our group of 10 has spent well over $ 2000 with them during our 4 visits. Service is lacking. Our group will go to Ohana or Taki from now on.

Very good! Four of us ate at the hibachi grill and we all loved our meals. Our cook was excellent and made the shrimp and scallops perfectly. Very fun hibachi show. I had the chicken and it was delicious. My husband had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. We also shared some sushi which was very good. I recomend the Godzilla Roll. The fried rice was also delicious. Good bear selection and excellent I had an excellent MaiTai.

They made me a Jalapeño Bomb(not on the menu) & the hibachi was great! Ask for the white guy! Serious — ask for Bud… Nice tall Sapporo’s, tender meat, killer shrimp and he made 4 custom orders of rice… Due to dietary restrictions. Great personality, awesome showmanship and most importantly a great chef!

This review will be strictly of the sushi restaurant as I have not tried the hibachi. Sushi menu is fabulous. Huge variety or rolls to sashimi to hand rolls. I wish they would get beef negimaki back as it was the best in the area. Or at least take it off your menu so I don’t get teased every time I go in! Fair price and great drink selection. Also have a good happy hour with daily specials. Favorite sushi restaurant in Ankeny by a long shot!

I am a fan of sushi and have eaten almost every item off most common sushi menus. Tokyo Steakhouse is split into a hibachi seating area and regular dining. I have been to both. I’ve eaten here countless times and have enjoyed it. I would say the Hibachi is nothing amazing, taste is standard. The sushi is also average, nothing premium. The staff is friendly and the décor is nice. Certain hours they are very busy and other times a bit slower. Price is higher because it is a sushi restaurant, but standard for a sushi eatery. I would like to point out this is NOT a high class sushi restaurant with premium grade food. Now, I’ve been to high class sushi places before and they are good but at a much higher cost. This place is good, but not a luxurious date place.

The sushi was pretty good, but the hibachi was awful. If this place didn’t have the sushi to make up for the rest, they’d have gone under already. Just take a peek around back and look at the kitchen help in filthy clothes lounging on boxes, smoking and playing on their phones. Classy. I don’t know how they have managed to stay open as long as they have.
