Some of our chefs prepare intricate arrangements of sushi behind the Samurai Sushi & Hibachi bar while others sling saki bombs and entertain birthday parties in the hibachi room. All of our chefs have spent years sharpening and honing their skills at restaurants across the United States. Now they practice their food artistry here in Des Moines at Tim Lau's Samurai Sushi & Hibachi Restaurant located near Jordan Creek Town Center.
The chefs bring a fusion of styles to the restaurant, combining traditional Japanese and Chinese rolls with ingredients like mango and cilantro. Many nearby residents have become fans, including Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson. Our chefs earned their titles the hard way, spending their time slicing cucumbers and steaming rice while working their way up to the front of sushi bars in cities like Boston and New York.
While our menu offers a variety of delightful choices, our chefs agree that the best items are sometimes not on the regular menu (one exception being the Iowa Roll, made with spicy salmon, eel, cream cheese, crab, avocado and masago and served with three sauces). Instead, ask about our weekly special roll which showcases ingredients like multicolored fish roe and fatty tuna.
