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.

If you're looking for authentic, flavorful ramen, Hokkaido is absolutely worth the visit. This was…read moreonly our second ramen spot, but it has officially become the standard we'll compare every other ramen restaurant against. We started with the dumplings, and they were outstanding--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. They were the perfect way to start the meal. I ordered the Spicy Beef Ramen, and all I can say is... wow. The broth was rich, bold, and full of depth without overpowering the dish. The beef was incredibly tender, practically falling apart with every bite, and every ingredient came together perfectly. My wife ordered the Miso Ramen and couldn't stop talking about how flavorful and comforting it was. Every spoonful tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was another highlight. The restaurant has a beautiful, open layout with warm lighting, Japanese-inspired décor, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. It feels modern while still being cozy. To top it all off, the service was phenomenal. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling intrusive. Hokkaido delivered on every level--food, atmosphere, and service. We'll definitely be back, and if you're in the Ankeny area and craving ramen, this is a place you need to experience. Highly recommended.

The sea bass was the best I've ever had anywhere; crispy crust and deliciously moist inside. The vegetable spring rolls were so good I wished I had gotten a second order. Brussels sprouts were leveled by my party of 4 in minutes - cooked perfectly and the sauce is wonderful. I really enjoyed the sashimi as well. The teriyaki steak was tasty, but the steak itself was very fatty and gristly. That was our only complaint as literally everything else was perfect, tasted great, and instagram-worthy plating.

This time we started with a Mango Margarita and Super Dirty Geisha - both highly recommended! For our dinner, we started with a Beef Negimaki (see picture) appetizer and really enjoyed it! The sauce was so good that I found myself literally trying to spoon up all of the extra before they took the plate back! For our dinner, my wife ordered the Cha Shu Ramen (see picture) and I ordered the Yellowtail Jalapeno Roll (see picture), as I wasn't that hungry. As is our standard practice, we shared our orders and both enjoyed both of the selections - so would definitely recommend them for anyone visiting. Lastly, the Taro Milk Tea looked awfully good, so I tried it - and believe me, it tasted as good as it looks! 11/01/2023 Another great stop for dinner after Mass with friends. Stayed light tonight with the Spicy Tuna Roll, but splurged for a dessert and tried the Mango Japanese Mochi (see picture).

The appetizers and foods were delicious, a nice selection of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese dishes, the pictures can speak for themselves.

Listen carefully. This ramen is sooooo good. I've never liked ramen, and I couldn't say why. It might be the vegetables? Anyway, this ramen had beef so tender I could bite a piece off. The bok choy just changed my mind about that vegetable. It was tender and flavorful. I'm sitting at home, slurping this up, and wishing I had enough room to eat it all. The broth is making me smile. It's a quiet little place in a strip mall, next to Pancheros. Don't drive by. You'll be sorry. De Rice gets the love, but this place deserves it.

The Pho is a heavenly light broth with mild or spicy flavor as one chooses, while filled with noodles and generous helpings of meat or vegetables of your choice. Other choices of dishes from Thai or Chinese regions are well made with a wonderful scent, zing to the sauces and visual appeal that makes everyone at the table envious or hoping for a sample that might be shared. Service and price are exquisite, too! A great spot to get the right food when you want something a little different, this is my new go-to spot.

It's been about two years since i've updated my review and it says a lot about the restaurant that…read moreit's been there as long as it has. It's conveniently located in the strip mall with plenty of parking..it's the same mall off of University with Campbell's health foods, Hy-Vee pharmacy, Frederich's coffee. This restaurant still has that old time mom and pop Asian family feel it's a definite classic type vibe with Auntie snd the neices up front taking orders and the rest of the family in the back cooking and putting to go orders together. I always like to support a locally owned business. It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. Having said that the service was fast and efficient . It's also about being realistic about the food. This is not a mall based chain restaurant or a high end bistro somewhere. The food was well prepared hot and delicious. This is a Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant. So there's lots of variety in the menu. I have had the build your own Pho, Korean style Kalbi ribs. They also have Hunan Chinese style dishes, i have tried Mongolian beef, combination fried rice and potstickers. I also have tried the pork fried egg rolls. I usually go for a late lunch early dinner. I talked to the owner and asked her how they made their soup and she said they boiled bones and added their own spices which is the traditional way to do things, I think they have a good soup base, all soup comes with sprouts and fresh Thai basil, I usually add bok choy, brisket and steak. They have plenty of other Vietnamese dishes too. I have enjoyed their pork vermicelli which is a cool salad type dish which is nice on a hot day. Some of my friends really enjoy their chicken wings. So there's still a good option with lots of choices, good staff and reasonable prices.

I walked out with some frozen pork lumpia, frozen kimbap, frozen Korean cheese corn dog, and some Nongshim gochujang shrimp crackers. My total was $36 and change. Some items were $1 or so above MSRP and some were $1 below according to Google. In line for a smaller market that doesn't order/carry huge quantities. Parking is easy with a them being in a business strip with a large lot. The owners were polite and courteous. I was greeted when I walked in and thanked when I left. She even threw in a couple of free small boxed milk drinks for paying with cash... It's nice to have for convenience here on the West side when you don't want to make the drive to C Fresh, Double Dragon, or Golden Land. And yes... In the past my inner child has had a field day with the name. Just like A Dong... But that's just me I'm betting. Lol

Long overdue review. You gotta love this pop up for multiple reasons…read more 1) variety - every month is a different special ramen. Both ramen varieties include a meat and veggie option for our vegetarians. 2) they are a well loved LGBTQ+ owned local business - we love to support that! 3) their food is absolutely delicious. Their appetizers are YUM. I definitely recommend the artichoke tempura. It took awhile for me to order here. They are only available for pick up/dine in on wednesdays. I am on Instagram and their Instagram page has been very helpful. They have a how-to assemble on their website. If you're doing pick up, I much recommend getting the uncooked noodles. Literally takes a minute of boiling the noodles to assemble and makes me feel like I'm working with a Hello Fresh meal. Also. I recommend adding an egg with your ramen. Note. You can also order a day ahead and You can put in the time you'll pick it up. They are pretty popular so you do have to be patient since they're making all of this fresh. I have arrived at the time of pick up and still having to wait an additional 15 minutes bc they're stocked full of orders.

Finally joined the Ramen Club yesterday!…read more Luuuuuuv the red curry ramen! I love the flavor of the broth. Much appreciation that it's a vegetable broth. The texture of the noodles were so unique and perfectly chewy yet soft. Found out they are made without egg. The masubi was delectable!! I love how authentic it tasted. I could eat 20 of those. Made perfectly! During COVID19 review: Got take out. No dine-in is allowed. Employees were masked. A simple friendly hello when I arrived for my order. Pick up area was nice and orderly. Several orders were waiting besides mine. Bringing home to put together was easy peasy. We have a bit of a drive, so when we arrived home we had to heat the broth for a bit on the stove. Everything was nicely packaged and labeled. Overall my review is for the quality of food and it was AWESOME! I had very minimal interaction with service so I don't have any thoughts there. I learned of Ramen Club DSM through Instagram and found they have a wonderful word of mouth, social media marketing and following. I loved everything and am a huge fan. I can't wait to have another bowl and MAYBE, JUST MAYBE...dine in once there's an ok to eat there.
