I really liked this restaurant. We came here for lunch and were seated right away. Their menu…read morefeatures barbecue items. They have all of your favorites like brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and burnt ends. They also have breakfast items, desserts, ice cream, burgers, pizza, pastries, a cereal bar, and salads. There is a private parking lot for you to park. They have a huge dining area with private rooms for large parties and special events. The staff there was very friendly. This restaurant is special because it is a place where individuals with special needs learn real-world job skills. I saw them training while I was there and it was awesome. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the 2-meat platter with pork belly burnt ends, pork belly bacon, potato salad, and baked beans. Be sure to check out their daily specials. They also host brunch. My food was ready in about 5 minutes, and it was fresh and hot. It tasted really good. The burnt ends were my favorite, but it all tasted good, though. I was glad that I made it here and had lunch. I not only liked the food and service but also their mission. This is a very special restaurant, and I highly recommend checking it out.

All of the menus and graphics in the restaurant looked like AI on steroids, very overstimulating. The food was very mid to be honest. Meat extremely dry and the sides sub par.

It was really weird going in here as I was a big fan of the original Irina's that used to occupy…read morethis space... And a big fan of Wasabi Chi...which Wasabi Urbandale effectively replaced. Staff was friendly as is usual with most of the Wasabi locations. I feel like a recognized a couple people from Wasabi Chi. We were greeted right away as we walked in. I went with a friend and my daughter, We ordered a few rolls, drinks, and dumplings. Everything was good as far as the food and the service, but I felt out of place as I found myself reminiscing about the businesses Wasabi Urbandale has taken the place of... The many meals I'd had at the horseshoe bar in Irina's...which is now gone. The special moments shared with friends at Wasabi Chi in my past. I got the feeling of being in any other Wasabi here. It's almost a cookie cutter of Ankeny, Johnston, Waukee... Not that there is anything wrong with that. Wasabi offers consistently good food and service at all it's locations. I just found myself missing an emotional connection that I wanted to feel this time.

I also dine-in occasionally and I love their cocktails and neon lights... especially during happy hour! Although the restaurant is never busy, this is not an indicator of the quality of food or drinks served. I think it's just in a bad location. More people should try this hidden gem of a place. The sushi is top-grade and it's a perfect place for a date night! (... with the most beautiful sunsets.)

The entree is made fresh and served exactly as ordered with attention to detail. The wait staffer eyes inspects the dish to make sure it meets your specifications. Case in point I ordered non spicy chicken junior size chicken fried rice teriyaki -- the eagle eye wait staffer caught that it came out spicy upon inspection and sent it back for non spicy-- good catch on my to go order before I went to my happy place to enjoy my tasty protein. The veggies included were fresh with a good crunch. The total wait atmosphere was clean, surround sound music at a comfortable level with colorful food posters serving as wall art. The biggest positive is that the food is at the proper temperature that will still be hot when you are ready to indulge.

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting much from Chinese food in the middle of Iowa. Actually, the…read morequality is pretty solid across the board. I tried probably about half the things in the buffet (and there is a ridiculous variety) and there was not a single thing I tried that was actually bad. I would skip the onion rings but I can't even call it bad since it's still better than burger king's. The variety is pretty crazy so it would be impossible to detail everything. There's a solid selection of both Chinese and American food, along with a Mongolian BBQ section where you can build your own Lo Mein plate. The desert section is kinda wild, lots of fruits, jello, cakes, pudding, and ice cream cups. The restaurant goes kinda crazy with the front lobby decoration. There's a Koi pond! It's a buffet so I'm not sure what to comment on the service, but I didn't have any complaints. Nothing on the menu was particularly outstanding to me, but that variety with consistently solid quality and rock-bottom prices (like $15 for an Adult, but my sense of pricing may be a bit off from being from SF Bay Area) is absolutely wild.

Had the shrimp from the hibachi area I should have knew better because it wasn't frozen it was thawed out in a big pile. Shrimp onion zucchini bean sprouts and broccoli to be exact. Used ginger powder onion powder garlic powder and asked for spicy oil. Eaten an egg roll some sushi. As I'm eating my sister in law noticed her fish wasn't cooked all the way through. Her husband had informed a person about it. Workers behind the sushi line and hibachi line were constantly on their phones texting or scrolling who knows. Red flag #2 cross contamination. I'm upset this is my mother in laws favorite birthday spot we've been coming here for 6 years. The way I had projectile vomited and had diarrhea last night was unacceptable. I practically threw up 3pounds I also haven't eaten anything all day so I know for sure it was something from here

Bartender was very nice & attentive helping not only everyone at the bar but other drink orders from tables. When the party arrived we went to our booth and our drink orders were transferred over flawlessly. Two opted to have the restaurant week special menu.

Everything was super fresh and cooked 100% to order. Not a complaint. The waitress was awesome as well. Super friendly and attentive. Great conversationalist and upsold a few things ;) I also had no complaints about my options either as I really wanted a few varieties of tuna and I was very happy with what I chose and received. Absolutely no complaints. Will definitely return as I didn't even know it was here.

I ordered the cashew chicken lunch special and the Singapore rice noodles. The food arrived sealed which I really appreciated to ensure that my food was not tampered with during transit. The cashew chicken tasted really good. I wish it came with more steamed rice though. The lunch special came with soup, crab rangoon and egg roll, all of which I enjoyed. The Singapore rice noodles was really spicy and had a lot of curry flavor. It was good even though I'm used to less spice and less curry. I would order from here again and try other dishes off their menu. The food was prepared quickly and delivered to me quickly. I appreciated that they were open on Easter Day.
