Sakari Sushi Lounge

Top sushi spot downtown in Des Moines! Good happy hour deals and large selection of rolls. Dynamite shrimp is a must try!
Staff is super nice and everything runs smooth & fast.

Happy hour menu is less than impressive however the specialty rolls and the app we got were pretty good. Good selection of specialty rolls and drinks. Nice little spot.

It was busy, but I didn't feel rushed or crowded. The service was impeccable and the sushi was delicious. I've always been impressed by the take out, and if you get past the VERY limited parking it's wonderful to enjoy a meal out.

Been going here for years now to get my sushi fix. Always a great time the staff is very personable and quick. They show lots of customer appreciation. Although its a sushi joint dont skip out on the wings or steak, some of the best in town. With its popularity sometimes it can be packed and very loud and hard to hear but that's the price of high quality food and drink

Great food and great experience! The server was very helpful and polite, the food came out timely and it was delicious. The Godzilla roll was a table favorite. Clean, fun, and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend trying!

I had an incredible experience at Sakari. The food was amazing not too expensive. Our waiter Ron was the best part he was so enthusiastic and fun. He made the experience. He brought a fun and exciting energy to the table and cared for us. If you are going to Sakari for the first time ask for Ron you won't regret it.

The most fun you'll have at a Sushi bar. We tried PHO KING Monday this week. It was fantastic.

This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint!!

Everything from top to bottom was perfect!! Staff was over the top friendly! And there isn't a bad seat in the house!!

Make sure to check this place out if you're in Des Moines!!

We had the Monday special Pho and it's honestly the best I've had anywhere. I liked the additional vietnamese herb called Culantro (nor cilantro, which they also have) which really made the bowl great.

Service was slow but they were packed.

The drinks were very sweet (even martini style drinks) so next time I would skip those.

In short, the Pho is so good I'd go here for it even if it was a terribly long wait. Hope you all try it! (Remember Monday only)

We had a great experience here! Our sever Alliane was awesome, she recommended their Dynamite shrimp appetizer which we really loved! Their menu was big and she really helped us navigate thru it. She was the best, definitely will be coming back.

I’ve been to sakari before but when I came for dinner this last time I was blown away with the service from Alliane! She recommended dynamite shrimp and a vs mango and it was so good!! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and so attentive to us! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! Best service I’ve ever had!

100 stars! I love the wings at this place, my server Alliane was super nice and made sure we were taken care of. Love the environment and they always have my football game on. Would recommend

I came in on Pho Monday with friends and it was AMAZING. My server was Eva and she was so warming and welcoming. She answered all of our questions we had about the food and made sure we enjoyed our time.

My first time at sakari was great! My server Alliane made sure me and my family were good the whole dinner. I loved the shrimp tempura & will be coming back soon! It was great food and service.

Very solid menu. Plenty of rolls to choose, good apps as well. They have a bento box and can't beat the value. Also have wings, steaks, and solid bar with good beer options .

This spot has been serving delicious food, good drinks and a place I frequently slide in. I recommend it!

Firecracker, Bruce Lee and Godzilla rolls were amazing. Also, the bang bang shrimp appetizer was very tasty. Well worth the wait! Service was very good as well.

This place gets busy fast and it is a loud environment. There is a wait to get food when it is busy but it is all rolled fresh. The sushi bar is in the back left corner. Bathrooms are in the back right corner. The food is absolutely amazing.

Delicious food. EXCELLENT service. Favorite sushi place in Des Moines !
