Christine Powers

The sushi is fresh and flavorful, and if you go during lunch or happy hour it is not too expensive . Try the Angry Tuna roll if you want something a bit spicy and absolutely delicious.

Juice Magazine

Try the fuji yama roll , a soybean nori wrapper with cucumber , avocado , mango and kani (crab ) topped with crispy tempura rock shrimp and a sweet chili sauce . Fresh and tropical. Read more

Juice Magazine

A $10 roll and a beer would make for a pretty satisfactory snack or early dinner for less than $13. It’s a good spot to stop before heading home. Read more

The peppered tuna with avocado was amazing! And the customer service was the best!!!!!

Estepha Francisque

Good service , great sushi . A safe bet to satisfy your craving. Save extra time to find parking , it's getting more scarce

Abbie Toney

Sit at the bar , leave John a handsome tip. Ask for a cucumber vodka with club and a lime then order a bonsai tree . You won't regret.

Lana Jarvis

Haven't had a sushi here I didn't like. My favorite is the one with rock shrimp ! Lunches are very reasonable!

Nicole Wilke

Des Moines cocktail & Dragon Punch were delicious. Don't miss the spicy edamame . Service was awesome too!

Scott A

Excellent lunch special . Pick 2 rolls and soup for $9.50....haven't had a roll that I didn't like.

Crowded on the weekends. Just how I like it. Try the fuji Yama roll . Don't be surprised if ur butts hurtin the day after

Carichmo

California, Fuji Yama and Shrimp Tempura are amazing! The crab rangoons are out of this world!

Jason Mrachina

We love the atmosphere and the happy hour specials . The Italian Stallion is awesome!

KT Florida

It's hard to find a decent sushi place in a landlocked state , but this place will do!

Tom Cox

Order the sushi dumplings appetizer . It is not fried, it is pounded flat fish and it is absolutely delish.

Emily Hoener

They now have happy hour from 3-5:30 on weekdays! Rolls starting at 4.50 and 2.50 dollar draws! Excludes Fridays.

Blake Pinneke

Fuji Yama roll , also try the Yellow Tail Jalapeño .

Chris Ayers

Out Of Control is very good, one of the best sushi spots in Des Moines.

Jordan Campbell

Everything is great here, except the Bloody Mary . It was overpriced at $8, void of liquor , and tasted like Walmart tomato juice .

Kendra

#1 sushi place in DSM. Everything was Amazing!!

Anthony Rose

Ask for something off the menu ... Amazing on off.

Ted Coppock

Easy top Five Asian and sushi in Metro.

Richard

A singular daylight fluorescent bulb makes the otherwise zen bathroom seem cold and drab.

A'Leisha Stefani

They will provide gluten-free soy sauce if you ask :)

Stacy Masterson

Staff is always so nice!!

Sarah

Their wine pours are very generous, 3 of 3 visits.

nathan deutmeyer

The Des Moines love was recommended...and a disappointment

Jerry Loghry

The fish I'd not as fresh as other places in town .

Amanda

Fuji Yama. Awesome!

Chad Veach

Some of the best sushi in town !

Mayra Peña

Second time here. Worse service I have ever received. Server took 30 minutes to deliver our food, after he only took care of one person at the table (ignoring the rest of us).

Amber Light

Best Sushi in Des Moines!!! :D
