“ Delicious and fun experience! There's a reason Ohana has been in business for at least 30 years! Excellent service, great seafood (or steak and chicken) hibachi style, rice, noodles, veggies, appetizer and salad for a good price and huge portion. ”

“ I've lived in DMI for 22 years. This was the best restaurant in the entire metro then and still is to this day. ”

“ I have traveled extensively throughout the US on business. I recently moved to Arizona from California, and when people ask me my favorite restaurant in the entire world I tell them it's Ohana Steakhouse in Iowa. People are always shocked until I explain how amazing the food is, how amazing the people are, and what an amazing experience it is. I have been going to Ohana steakhouse since 1994. It's still amazing every time. If I'm within a couple of states, I always make it back for dinner!! It took them years to convince me to try the scallops and the shrimp because I don't normally eat seafood. After Ohana, I now eat shrimp. I've had scallops in Maui and they were horrible. I will only eat scallops at Ohana. Their special sauce is amazing. ”

“ Much better than Bennhana's. The food was fabulous, service was entertaining and fun, and the Iowa people are awesome! I just moved here from Minneapolis and I love it here. ”

“ As my 17 year old single daughter would say, this place was bussin bussin. I'm not sure if the egg or chicken comes first but let's make sure it's the chicken! Hold off on the egg. Other than that 5/5 and to the fine young big chested blonde lads that walked in , you get a 10/10. Me and my 17 year old single daughter WILL be back. #doubledate #likemotherlikedaughter ”

“ Ohana Steakhouse was super fun last night for a birthday dinner. Our chef was awesome, food was yummy, and the company is always a fav. Service was tentative and informative. Bartenders were helpful and friendly. Wings: tiny in size but mighty in flavor. Half spicy half not. Bday girl wanted half not-spicy or we would've gotten all spicy. She loved them, I had one bite and liked the spicy rub and sauce. Soup: basic broth. Nothing to write home about. I got the combo: steak, scallops, add lobster and calamari. It was awesome but I took most of it home with "Bob's" to go. Fried rice: add chilis and garlic was tasty, though I only got in one bite. Not enough room in the belly for more than that! Noodles: basic but good, also add chilis and garlic for some extra flavor. They don't do to-go's, normally, but they will cook a meal for a to-go box stationed at an extra seat. So my date for the night, "empty-seat Bob", got the combo steak and chicken. It was a fun experience for a very special birthday girl. ”

“ It's always a good night at... The greatest tasting show in town...! Ohana Steakhouse! If you're a fan you know you just sung that last line in your head. Our party of 11 (mostly former ADPers) was seated promptly at 515 pm. I had my usual... The Royal Combination with filet (medium rare) and scallops. Extra garlic and chili pepper on my fried rice and vegetables ($34.50). If you've never added extra garlic and chili pepper to your fried rice and mixed vegetables... Do it! You can thank me later! I don't drink a lot, but I did try the key lime martini tonight ($10). Very good! People are going to argue for the other various steakhouses I'm sure... For me Ohana is about nostalgia, consistency, and family and friends. I moved to the Des Moines metro in 1992 and I feel like my first visit to Ohana wasn't too far behind that. Two wives, two divorces, multiple girlfriends, many birthday parties...my own and others. One of my long time go tos along with Great China (now closed) and King and I (now Eat Thai). Our server did a pretty good job. Soup Salad (got to have that ginger dressing...) Mustard and ginger sauces dished up on the side Shrimp appetizer Mixed vegetables Fried rice Scallops Filet Mushrooms Noodles I don't know what kind of training Cy puts his teppanyaki chefs through but their cooking mirrors one another almost exactly...and so do their corny jokes. We were all long time Ohana veterans in our party so all our chef had to do was cook. And he did a fantastic job! Everything was perfect as usual. I'd say we'll be back...but that's kind of a given! It's just a question of how soon we can get a group together again and what excuse we can find to celebrate. And that scallop sauce...! Mannnnn.... You could drag a shoe through it and I'd eat the damn thing! Make sure you check out their menu online and look for the dinner for two specials. https://www.ohanasteakhouse.com/index.html ”

“ Was recommended this place specifically for their scallops so that's what I had to try. The dinner is hibachi style and comes with soup, salad (you can pick your dressing), shrimp, veggies which you can get with or without chili garlic, streamed rice or fried rice for an up charge, choice of protein, and noodles at the end. By the end of the meal we were stuffed! The place is pretty small with a few grills/tables where multiple parties sit together. Our chef was okay but didn't really do any of the showmanship that you usually see with hibachi. He was friendly and the staff that refills your drinks were constantly coming up to the table. ”
