Kaihana Sushi Teriyaki - Des Moines

This restaurant is truly exceptional; the atmosphere is serene, and the food is delicious! They offer straightforward choices at reasonable prices. The drinks are also great and enhance the overall experience.

Absolutely delicious sushi and chicken teriyaki! Kaihana has been one of my favorite spots in the city for the past ten years. The golden rolls are a must-try, and the staff is incredibly friendly! It's a reliable choice, especially considering inflation, which is a big plus.

The staff was incredibly friendly; I truly felt like part of the family during my visit. The food was outstanding, and considering inflation, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. The big fog was not only delicious but also a generous portion—absolutely fantastic. The golden rolls were exceptional; they were perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft interior, complemented by incredible sauces that elevated the sushi experience. The teriyaki chicken was equally impressive—super moist and tender, with a rich and flavorful sauce. I highly recommend this place to anyone in search of excellent sushi, a wonderful staff, and great prices, all served in a welcoming atmosphere.

Hospitality is amazing! I warn if you come to truly traditional Japanese change your expectations, it's much more experimental, would I say? Maybe something like Hawaiian fusion, or not even, it's just what tastes good, but they do a good job with it. The portions are large, so don't worry about the prices when hunger is the concern.

I had their sushi to go when I first gave them five stars eight months ago. I finally got the chance to eat at the restaurant, and I wish that I could give them another five stars. Update: Went to Kaihana on April 16th, since they were open if you had a reservation on either Saturday or Sunday. Was a little bummed that some of my favourites weren't on the limited menu, but it meant I got to try some new favourites, which means keeping my review at five stars. : Adding favourites as per the response from owner: calamari tempura (hopefully you will be able to find a new supplier , TNT roll, and I wanted to try the Kaihana tower. :
