Hana Sushi was overall a good experience. As a vegetarian, I was happy to see several sushi roll options available. We ordered the veggie sushi combo, veggie maki roll, peanut avocado roll, and shiitake mushroom roll. The veggie sushi combo came with a salad, but it wasn't brought out with our meal and we had to ask for it. The veggie maki roll was essentially fried rolls, which were solid and satisfying. The vegetarian sushi combo had a beautiful presentation, and it included some veggie sashimi, which was unique and not something I see very often. The peanut avocado and shiitake mushroom rolls were fantastic and definitely the highlights. The ambiance was good, the food was solid but not extraordinary, and the service was mid. Overall, a decent spot with good vegetarian options. read more

Got the Kiss Kiss specialty roll, which I'd get again, very tasty. And the chicken katsu ramen with the spicy tonku broth base. The ramen bowls here are massive, and I'd recommend splitting it between two people like we did or plan on taking part of it to-go with you because of its larger portion size. Will have to come back again earlier in the day to try one of their lunch specials! read more

4.4* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4* Service: 3* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $41 03/29/2025 Tonight was my wife's turn to pick our destination after Mass and she chose Hana Ramen Sushi again (we were there last October and she really enjoyed her ramen). Tonight was another good stop that we both enjoyed. The food was once again fantastic (details in the following paragraph) - and that is the main criteria when selecting a restaurant. While communicating with our waiter was easier this time, the food delivery was quite slow to our standards - on the order of 20-30 minutes for each course after it was ordered. Tonight, we started off with a Cucumber Martini (with Jalapeno) and a Salted Caramel Milk Tea (I gave up alcohol for Lent). The Jalapeno in the Cucumber Martini was a pretty strong kick and my wife enjoyed it. And yes, the Salted Caramel Milk Tea was quite delicious and yet was pretty light - didn't come across as thick, syrupy or overly sweet. We started by sharing a Pork Gyozo Soup (see picture) that was very good, then decided to add on a Hana Pizza (see picture). That Hana Pizza was definitely the highlight of my experience - a very light crust, a peanut based sauce with some fresh sushi and veggies to top it off! My wife ordered the Combo Yaki Soba (see picture) for her meal and I opted for the Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice (see picture). We really liked both dishes and would highly recommend them. 10/12/2024 We have wanted to stop here several times and finally took the opportunity to do so tonight after a 4 year gap. The exterior was modern, clean and inviting and the interior continued that vibe. Just like the "this place must be authentic" feeling you get in a good Mexican restaurant (when the wait staff struggles a bit with the English language), you immediately pick up on that here...but with Japanese instead of Spanish as the core language. We started by enjoying a Lucky Buddha beer and Raspberry Mule (see picture), followed by a delicious Ginger Salad (see picture). My wife then opted for Spicy Chicken Ramen (see picture) for her meal and I ordered a Spicy Scallop Roll (see picture) and Tuna Avocado Roll (see picture). We really enjoyed all of the food! The service was average...partially due to the wait time and partially due to the challenge of communicating with our waitress - it needed to repeat things several times in different ways to assure understanding. The value was above average - $31/person with everything mentioned (including tax). 2021 Stopped for dinner tonight and enjoyed the food. Communication was a bit of a challenge, as it wasn't until the 3rd person coming to help before they understood the question "what is the Seasonal Choice tap beer on the menu", but the food quality was excellent! I started with a Hana Fuji Apple Sake (see picture) which had a strong apple flavor without being too sweet. Next, we enjoyed an Angry Z Special Roll followed by a Spicy Crunch Crab Roll (see pictures) based on our waitress' recommendation. Both of them were delicious and highly recommended. Finally, we finished with the Spicy Chicken Ramen with Spicy sauce (see picture) - very good! If you like sushi rolls or ramen, the food is definitely worth the stop.

I've been here a couple times and enjoyed their ramen. I've gotten it to go so they pack it in a container that separates the noodles from the soup to keep it from going to soggy which is nice! This time, I tried the seafood ramen. You are able to choose your ramen soup base which is cooked. It came with lots of seafood and they put the spicy sauce to the side so I was able to adjust to my liking! I also got the spicy crab roll. It was a big roll and very delicious. It was a lot of food for a good price and hit the spot for me! read more

Had an awesome work mentor/mentee lunch at Hana Ramen Sushi. Spicy Seafood ramen (sub udon noodles) was bomb. Sushi Deluxe was fantastic; nice, THICK slices of fish (no see-through slices here!). She also added a sweet potato roll, she said it was as delicious as she remembers. She hasn't been back in years so we were glad we came. Izumi Roll (with the seaweed salad on top, for pic reference) was delish. Love the seaweed on top, it's a nice, crunchy touch! Ikura is my favorite nigiri, and theirs was plentiful and my "dessert". I eat them one-by-one at the end of my meal, weirdo I know Jasmine hot tea was a great addition, can't complain about this delicious lunch. They have great lunch specials, if you're interested, but unfortunately for our wallets we wanted all items from the dinner menu! read more

Was excited to try this place bc I heard they have good ramen. I was disappointed because you can tell the quality of the broth in the ramen isn't that great. Either it is premade or hasn't been cooked long enough for Tonkatsu flavor. Service was great but also it was completely empty when we went in. read more

Usually a great place but tonight was a terrible experience at Hana. Told 40 minutes waited over an hour and watched as they seated people that came in after us. Service was lacking- just an overall bad time. I would say if it's a busy time or special day skip it they can't handle the volume. read more

Still good and we still like kiss kiss the best. Black dragon roll and golden roll were underwhelming. read more

Excellent dinner visit to Hana! Our kids wanted Asian and we knew they like the teriyaki kids dishes so we convinced them to choose here (so we parents can get what we wanted to eat). Over the past few years, we've ordered takeout from here but haven't eaten in for a while. Our kids were in love with the fish tanks. Our daughter has just started to like sushi and she surprised me by ordering the Kids Sushi Mix. Our son had the Kids Shrimp Ramen. My husband had the Cha Shu Ramen (spicy Tonku) and I had an order of Tuna Nigiri and the King Kong Roll. Everything came out quicker than I anticipated. The rolls were very well-made and didn't fall apart. The kids loved their meals and especially liked having the "cheaters" for their chopsticks. My sushi was wonderful. The King Kong was large and filling. It was so tender to chew too. My husband also enjoyed his ramen. Service came to our table the right amount (not too attentive but not dismissive). We may be eating in more often now! read more

I did a takeout order. Was not super impressed with the quality of food considering how much it cost for beef yaki soba and sake sushi. The condiments (soy sauce) came in a little sauce cup without a lid- instead used plastic wrap which you can imagine got everything wet. Was hoping for way better considering all the great Yelp reviews. read more

Much better! Not sure how the management changed again, but we decided to give Hana another try and it was a great decision! We really wanted a hot soup, and Hana used to be one of our fave restaurants. We braved it and dined in once again. Service was sooo much better, food was again amazing, and it was exactly what we needed for dinner that night! Hana definitely has the BEST spicy garlic edamame anywhere in Des Moines. The restaurant still has the cozy, Asian decor, and pleasant for having dinner and drinks with friends and family. We are hopeful Hana is on the upswing again and could not be more excited!! read more

I ordered the vegetable pineapple fried rice. This dish was not strong on flavor. But the ambience is relaxing and well appointed.

The prices!! We have been here several times before and enjoyed it mostly. The ambiance is loud and cramped at night but workable. This time we came for lunch and the servers did nothing wrong except for the fact that it's gotten so expensive. Seriously. We decided to just buy one ramen lunch to go, and the rest of us decided to go somewhere else. The one meal cost us $20 for a bowl of soup. Then there's this 12oz drink of some kind for $14 if you're thirsty. Guys. Seriously. Lower your prices. read more

Still excellent food! Service could be better and more attentive. Ordered amazing spider, spicy crab roll, spicy edamame. Restaurant is still modern and upkept. Outdoor seating could be a little refreshed. Every time we visit it is always busy. A typical wait is 20-40 min on any given day. Highly recommend if in the neighborhood and looking for ramen and sushi. read more

Just a good solid bowl of ramen. The interior is fun and takeout is efficient. The pork broth is particularly good; the real deal and rich in flavor. read more

Ambiance is noisy for the dinner crowd, although great music! Cocktail menu is limiting and the have plenty of other options. The yellowtail jalapeño appetizer yuzu sauce is a bit vinegary if you don't mind, yellowtail belly melts in your mouth. Simply plated and enough to leave you asking for more. The neruto rolll looks great, has the same yuzu sauce and the only challenge is it falls apart due to to slices of cucumber being thick. Tuna, yellowtail and salmon slivers are overrun by the cucumber, avocado and big chunks of imitation crab. Hanna roll is an assortment of tuna wrapped in yellow soy wrap- an original and creative roll, nicely plated. Lacks flavor although very colorful. Avocado overpowers. Staff are attentive to customer service and cleanliness. Not too many options on the menu if you don't want rice or tempura. This strip mall restaurant is understated. Ramen will be on my order and my next visit. Great customer service! read more

It was a decent experience. Friendly people and atmosphere was alright. Food was enjoyable but nothing I thought was really good. I got the nabeyaki udon. I will say it was a pretty comforting meal as it was kinda cold out so the warm udon noodles with beef broth was nice but I just did not think it had much going on flavor wise. My friends that I went with really seemed to enjoy it though so I would try it again. read more

Hana Ramen Sushi - Nabeyaki Udon - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

This place is literally West Des Moines most talked about ramen location. The restaurant itself looks very nice inside and they have a decently sized bar. They also have sake here, if you get a large (which was $7 when we were here), you get a decent amount that you can share with someone. We came here for the ramen, which come with 3 different soup base options. I highly recommend tonku, and if you want to try spicy, you can ask for the spice to be on the side. There's also a handful of good toppings you can change or add to the bowl. I would say it's a decent amount of food for $15 so it's worth trying if you've never been here before. They also have appetizers, sushi, chicken nuggets, etc., which is a pretty good variety for most. Definitely a good spot to go to on a cold day. read more

Our table had 2 different ramen and the dragon roll. I had the pork ramen with the spicy pork broth with kimchi add-on. Delicious. I only ate 1/2 of my egg. Texture issue. Ha. The other ramen was spicy chicken. It too was very good. The dragon roll was gone in a flash. Really good. Service is prompt and our server was very nice. I like to ask what their favorite item is. She likes the spicy pork, so I got it. Ambiance is a little eclectic. We guessed that on weekend nights they might be busy due to the size of the bar. Well worth the drive. Check it out. Sorry no pictures. We were chatting and forgot. read more

I was visiting from Florida, and if you're in Des Moines you can't miss this place! It was the best ramen I've ever had. I went there two days in a row, their sushi is just from another world, so tasty and incredible. Everyone was super kind and friendly, I am definitely looking forward to coming back there read more

Was in town and decided I really wanted ramen so we went out of our way to stop here. The place is LOUD; I can't imagine eating here and trying to carry on a conversation with someone at the same table. I ordered ramen to go; specially tonku broth Cha Shu Ramen without corn or mushrooms. I got "extra" bamboo and green onions which costs extra. My order was just under $20. They told me it would be 15-20 minutes so I waited outside. 15 minutes later I came in and still waiting. At 50 minutes I told them I wanted a refund since I had my spouse and 2 year old waiting in the car for me. They refused to refund me and instead a lady went to the kitchen to check on my order again. After watching the employees argue over my order I eventually got my order almost 70 minutes after I originally ordered it. To say I was annoyed would have been an understatement. We went across the street to sit at the mall and eat. The portion size is small for the price. In my opinion it should have cost half what it did. To be fair the broth was good and the way they packaged it for take out was acceptable. Broth to the side and everything else in a bowl. It obviously took them 5 minutes to put together so making me wait 70 minutes was insulting. The "extra" I paid for was a joke also. $1 for extra onions and $1.95 for extra bamboo and the containers were maybe 1/3rd of the way full? MAYBE if you were dining in the service would be better or the portions better. You could order more noodles, but for $15 a bowl you should get more to start with. 2 stars is solely for the taste of the broth and the rest I'd rate a 1 star. read more

Ordered Grubhub. Arrived timely and secure. We had several sushi rolls, two salads and the San Francisco app. Overall pleased with order. Spicy crunch crab roll was good. Decent flavor and good crisp. The tuna mango roll lacked some seasoning. The San Francisco was a little off color but smelt and tasted fine. All rolls benefited from some wasabi and ginger. The wasabi was the hottest I have ever had. I love wasabi and this was good but tread lightly at first. The salads were the best part. read more

Our server was friendly and attentive. I had a great salad, but the Chirasushi I ordered was disappointing. The tuna did not taste very fresh and it came with a pathetic amount of rice. I should have tried the ramen instead. The dining room is comfortable and the music was not too loud. I just would not order sashimi there. read more

Overall great experience. Food: we had ordered Ramen and Sushi to get a taste of both and we really enjoyed how fresh everything was. We ordered 2 rolls, (Crunchy 2 in 1 and Snow Crab Roll) very delicious! Loved that they didn't skimp out on any of the crab topping on either roll! I ordered the shrimp tempura ramen and my fiancé got the spicy chicken ramen (not pictured) really good serving size for the price , only complaint is my fiancé wanted the spicy chicken to have more spice. It wasn't spicy at all. Service/ Staff: host stand upon arrival was very soft spoken, during a dinner rush and loud ambiance, it was hard to hear them when they spoke. When seating you they just throw menus on the table and leave and don't wait til you are fully at the table. Our server was okay, she was nice and took our orders quickly but once our orders were taken you hardly saw her so we never got to get extra napkins or refills on our drinks. Overall we enjoyed it and we will definitely be back! read more

When I feel like Ramen noodles while going through Des Moines, this is where we like to stop. For an appetizer, the Crab Rangoon and Gyoza are delicious. The Crab Rangoon is creamy and the shell is thin and crispy. With a nice dipping sauce, this is so good! The gyoza was tasty, but the weakest part of our meal. They were small and airy. My ramen was the Veggie Ramen, with spinach, corn, asparagus, bamboo shoots, ginger, fresh mushrooms, broccoli, black fungus, and a boiled egg. I asked for the spicy sauce to kick it up a notch, and it was a good mix of heat and flavors. My wife had the shrimp tempura ramen, and it came with bamboo shoots, black fungus, scallions, ginger, and a boiled egg. It was amazingly delicious. read more
