Konomi Japanese Restaurant

"We went there for my brand new teenage daughter's birthday. It was our first time and we loved it. Our Chef was the owner and he did a great job. Food was DELICIOUS! we'll definitely be back."

"If I lived in Iowa City, I would give this restaurant 5 stars for its food. I've been visiting Japanese restaurants in Iowa City for many years, and this one is the best for Japanese cuisine in or near the area. Our American friends love the sushi and sake at this restaurant. However, I do find the prices quite expensive. The staff is very friendly and adds to the enjoyable atmosphere."

"Didn't like the place i came with a group of 21 people on December 16 supposed to celebrate 2 Birthdays but i did have a really bad experience food cold, rice toasty and the owner with a rude attitude and by the end with no show no happy face and not even good drinks that they didn't offer until i asked for them. I had to pay 52 dollars for a tip that they never deserved. Everyone paid separately and also paid a big tip. I don't recommend this place to celebrate anything. When you're recommended a restaurant, you expect something good and good service but in this place it never happened. I'm not going there any more anyway i do recommend Oyama suhi it is wonderful and the client is always right the people there is really nice and all the ways ."

"All the food was excellent! The sushi was amazing! The service was friendly and helpful."

"This is the only place I know of where you can order any kind of soup dish with ox tail, and it hits the spot!!! The ox tail ramen broth is delcious, and the meat is so tender that it feels like it melts in your mouth. I ordered some salmon nigiri and had some plum sake and a sake bomb as well. Everything was fantastic and our server, Hayden, was really charismatic and took great care of us."
