It is. I was there a few nights ago for the first time. Very stylish with a cool vibe. Very good selection of quality sushi and east Asian entrees. Thoughtful wine list. The owners have clearly spent a lot of money on the interior. Great addition to Ames, I look forward to returning soon.

Yes. With **** steaks. Texas Roadhouse and Outback are basically fast food
Texas Roadhouse can be decent on some days. Way better than Outback or Applebees. I know thats not a high bar.
Is "Grill Buffett Mongolian" still around? Classic gourge-yourself-on-mysterious-fried-meats-and-hate-yourself-afterwards spot
Flame and Skewer is all that’s needed.
(Circa late 90s; honestly no idea how it’s doing in last 10 yrs)

"Home of the Lukewarm-est Shrimp in town!"
Not sure if it's open or not. Haven't been there in probably 15 years.

Wasn't Buffet Mongolian owned by the same people who owned King Buffet? That place was really suspect.
Looks like it’s still going strong. I went there a couple times after it first opened. Ames didn’t have a retaurant like that at the time so it filled a niche. Is a place like HuHot better?
Still going strong. Pammell Grocery has a very solid gyro. Mo at flame and skewer has not changed a bit, love that guy.

Thank all for the comments, only go to Ames during football and maybe once a month. Without the publicity, hard to know of different restaurants.
I have a good buddy who has worked for him since high school part time. Everytme I go with him we never pay. He insults us in a good way but is very generous. I run into him at Hilton every once and a while and he always has some smartarse thing to say, but then will buy you a beer in Johnnys.
