Miyabi 9 - Des Moines

The waiter was nice, but mumbled/didnt speak loudly enough so it was a bit painful trying to communicate(plus never got our water refilled). I had went earlier in the year and loved the decore, but was unpleasantly surprised upon arriving to see mostall of it had been taken down, every wall but 1 being barren. Food was good, but it didnt feel like we got the experience beingpaid for. I'd like to go again on a date night, but there are always 3-4 other sushi places downtown.

This place never disappoints! The sushi is incredible, the staff so brilliant, and always the specials!

Miyabi 9 is the best sushi joint I’ve been to in Iowa. I have dined here twice, and both times I found the service to be excellent and the food was delicious. My favorites so far include the: unagi nigiri, soba noodle bowl, amaebi nigiri, ika nigiri I had some strict dietary restrictions due to a medical condition (this was a year ago) and I still appreciate how accommodating and kind our waitress was. Customers who don’t like noise may be a bit turned off by the atmosphere, but I thought the music was fun and didn’t mind it since the food was so good.

Restaurant is back to the split business hours, between lunch and dinner and I am happy about it. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Best spot in the east village for Japanese food.

Fantastic experience. I hadn't been here since before the pandemic and finally got around to trying it again, and it was just as good as I remembered. Our waitress was amazing and kept up on refills- which was greatly appreciated considering the hot day outside. My table started with the vegetable tempura, which is always a hit, and I ended up getting the sashimi salad and a vegetable roll both of which were delicious. My friend got the salmon, which was also amazing (we all traded bites so we could try a little of everything! The service can be a little slow, and the food comes out in different rounds (like my salad coming first, then my and a friend's sushi, then my other friends salmon but as we weren't in a rush it certainly wasn't minded, plus the quality of the food made it worth the wait. I'll definitely be coming back soon!
