Welcome to

W A S A B I ______

Wasabi is a dream come true for owners and chefs Jay Wang and Jimmy Zheng. It is the third dream turned reality which began in 2011 with their first restaurant Wasabi Chi. Then came Wasabi Tao in 2013. They strive to bring the best dishes to Iowa with emphasis on freshness and quality. Food is truly their passion and we trust that it shows in their dishes. ______

“The top new restaurant of the year was Wasabi Chi, the best example yet of both the positive feng shui & stylish sushi. Jay Wang’s café upgrades the genre with original methods and personalized style. His presentations are sensational.” - CITYVIEW

“The owners [at Wasabi Tao]…have crafted a stylish sushi bar in the heart of downtown Des Moines that feels like it’s airlifted straight out of Manhattan.” - DES MOINES REGISTER

“Wang’s kitchen creates its own positive energy. This is the new benchmark for sushi/Asian fusion in Iowa.” - CITYVIEW

“Wasabi literally has anything you could want from an Asian restaurant.” - DES MOINES IS NOT BORING
