W-tao Sushi - Des Moines

Eating is amazing! beautiful atmosphere. affordable dishes with many options from sashimi and suppen to signature roll. excellent and friendly service. the waitress gave good recommendations. perfect location for civic center. dressy to casual wear. cozy for date night, but fast in the sitting sushi bar.

For years we come here, sure super sushi. not too much rice, quality fish. awesome lunch specials, 2 rolls and soup/salad for $10 can really not beat! spicy ei dri suppe is the best everywhere. best happy hour city, the service is excellent and you can quickly get in and out if necessary

Good sushi. Poor service...and it's not due to being short-staffed. We watched our server cater more to larger tables than to our table of 2. We waited 30 minutes for the additional roll we ordered. I watched other servers who were attentive to tables...

I must say when I entered this restaurant I felt some kinda way, wasn't good. It was dark , no aroma of food. When the hostess came to seat my party, we were taken to this booth with two others so close. When I asked about moving it was like that not possible as other places seat more guest. As we were seated she came back to see if we wanted to move, well we were there now. I didn't know much of the menu so had some help from my guy. I must say the presentation of the food was great the taste even better. So don't judge a book by the cover, yet accommodate your guest.

This place has amazing sushi. However, there are some delivery issues that desperately need to be addressed. Every time I order sashimi, they put ginger or lemon directly on my raw fish. This cooks the top layer of the fish ruining the texture. As you can see in the picture, this is unacceptable. The other issue I have is with their to-go packaging. My order is always crammed into as few containers as possible. With sushi being as expensive as it is, two $15-$20 rolls do not deserve to be smushed together, mixing their sauces and getting their flavors mingled. For what I pay for an order, I expect higher quality presentation. Like I said, the food here is amazing. But, this lack of attention to detail needs to be corrected in order for me to continue ordering delivery.
