Was it top notch quality? No. But was there a ton of variety and was service superb? Oh yea. Do yourself a favor and get onto the waitlist online. By 5pm, the waitlist was already an hour and a half. We putzed over at 7pm and were seated within ten minutes. All ordering is on a tablet. Sometimes the cat robot delivers your food, most of the time it's a human. Sushi can take a while to get to your table, especially rolls. All apps seemed like they had been previously frozen, and cooked entrees and apps are likely huge batch made. Some drinks, like the boba, are free!!! Other drinks, like teas, are 5$. I did get the taro milk tea with some jelly. SO GOOD. I was shocked, didn't taste like powder milk tea at all. They don't have regular tapioca, and you're forced to get at least 1 with your drink. Service was great. Definitely a fun place to try a ton of random things, or if you have a large party. We waited a long time to try this place, and I'm so glad we did.

Le bf and I went on a Friday for lunch and a couple hours after they opened, there was already about an hour ish wait. So I highly recommend making sure you check and get on the waitlist before heading over! Once seated, it was PACKED and pretty loud with everyone surrounding you. Our waiter was super cool and answered all our questions. We went ham on the crab rangoons, ordered 4 times! I also ordered a couple sashimi, Kani salad, this tuna ball with crab meat inside (highly recommend that), steamed dim sum items, just anything and everything! I enjoyed everything EXCEPT the baked mussels. They were plain mussels with crab meat on top, little to almost no sauce or anything that typically goes with baked mussels, ick! The rest, delish!

Spring rolls, crab wonton. Chicken fried rice

We tried this place out when visiting KC for the weekend. We did not realize if was all you can eat till we were on the waiting list inside the restaurant. For the price $35 per person, you would expect the customer service to be a bit more than it was. No one greeted us, our waiter wasn't attentive. They have a robot serve some of the food to the tables. For $35 pp drinks are not Included, which seems kinda crazy. The food was ok. But definitely not $35 all you can eat worth. For what we paid for a family of 4 we could have gone to a nicer more upscale restaurant. I've had better sushi at other places locally. I would have enjoyed more attentive service. This place has a strict "leftovers" policy meaning they charge your for uneaten food that you leave.

This new restaurant offered a unique, first-rate buffet experience during my dine-in lunch. I liked the extensive menu, the made to order buffet approach and the cheerful service. It was a great opportunity to try foods new to me including squid salad, gyoza, Alaska roll, dim sum, udon and a sesame ball. This Japanese, Chinese, Thai restaurant offered an extensive buffet (and takeout dishes) with 88 (by my count) lunch items including soups, salads, appetizers, skewers, maki rolls, sushi rolls, deep fried rolls, dim sum, Chinese entrées, hibachi grill, ramen soup, udon, pad thai, rice and desserts. The 140 item (by my count) dinner menu was more extensive and more exotic with options including octopus and more salmon options. The dinner menu also added sushi appetizers and sashimi. Dinner items were available during lunch, but for a small surcharge per item. Items were ordered via the touchpads located at each table and delivered by robot to your table. The menu pictures showed portion size and helped me to select items I had never tried before. The time from order entry to robot delivery ranged from four to 12 minutes with items being delivered as they were ready instead of waiting for the entire order to be complete - nice! The minimum time between orders was set at 15 minutes, which was not an issue. I found the items to be fresh and at appropriate temperatures, since they were not sitting under a heat lamp like at other buffets. Every item was also nicely presented and delicious. The dining area was clean and new with upbeat contemporary background music, four areas and a sushi bar. Every member of the staff I encountered was cheerful and polite. Beverage orders and plate removal were handled promptly by the attentive waiter. The very reasonable buffet rules are: 1) order anything, as much as you like, 2) please finish what you order, 3) leftovers may be charged, 4) no takeout for AYCE meals. Adult lunch buffet prices (11A-3P M-F) are currently $21 adult and $11 kids (4-11), while dinner prices are currently $36 adult and $15 kids (4-11). Overall, excellent! It's a good addition to the OP area!

Easy to use!

Very happy with our lunch today. Arrived at 1130am, no wait for a table. Our human server arrived promptly to see if we needed help ordering on the tabletop kiosk. (Nope! It's very easy!) Food arrived relatively fast. Human server brought all the items from the kitchen and the robot delivered our sushi. Fun touch and still glad they are employing real people alongside to humanize the experience. Everything was delicious. Everything! We had crab Rangoon, shrimp tempura, gyoza, and both beef and chicken skewers as appetizers. Then we dove headfirst into the sushi menu and never managed to escape. Would like to come back and try many of my other favorites like pad thai and soup dumplings but didn't want to overdo it today! Fried Oreos for dessert were the perfect little bite to end the meal. The decor is so much better than the old Applebee's... Beautiful style and feels elevated and fresh.

My kids and I love sushi. We tried this restaurant for the first time this weekend and loved it! We all agreed it is our new favorite place. One learning curve... once you place an order from a certain category- you have to wait 15 minutes to place another one. Additionally- if you add items to your 'cart' on the table top system- and wait too long to place it- your cart will get emptied. We ordered the perfect amount of food so didn't have anything leftover. Fried Oreos were a favorite- we got three orders. My personal favorite was the sashimi. It was fresh and tasty. We only ordered sushi, the soup dumplings and dessert. Our waiter was helpful, kind and attentive. The space is cool. Used to be a Chili's but you'd never know. We also loved talking to the table guests around us for recommendations and our next trip.

Rainbow Roll. Not bad, but not great either. No depth of flavors.
Karen P.

Wonderful service! Our waiter was super knowledgeable and helpful and kept our drinks refilled- even offered us to-go beverages. Love that! Wish I could say the food was wonderful too. Most items were just lacking flavor. The kiosk ordering system is super easy and food is brought out promptly, but I don't like that you can't switch out some ingredients. My friend got the fried rice but it had so many onions in it she couldn't finish it. The hibachi chicken and steak were good and my sushi was decent- better than, say, gas station sushi haha, but if I'd gotten it at an actual sushi restaurant I would've been disappointed. Again- it was just lacking flavor. This is a very family friendly place- the kiosk ordering system and the robot that brings out some of your food would be very fun for kids. If this had existed 15 years ago, my daughter would've been obsessed with this place. It's very busy and I understand why, because the menu is so big! But if you want a quiet evening out with really good Asian food, this is not the place.

Amazing new addition to OP. We walked in on a Saturday at around 4:30 and were told the wait would be about 2 hours. We ended up deciding to wait and boy was it worth it! The food tasted really fresh and their sushi was surprisingly high quality for a buffet. We got seated pretty quickly as soon as our number was up. We enjoyed the vibe and it was overall a really positive experience

Sashimi

AIOE has been getting so much traction with all the social media (good on them!), so I had to try it for myself. I think, for the price of two people being $80, soft drinks and water should be free. They offer so many fancy beverages, which make sense to charge for, but anything off the gun/machine.. should be included. The whole system is a bit overwhelming. There are SO many options, which is nice, but they have a strict policy when it comes to leftovers. Shrimp tempura was my favorite appetizer. I'll pass on the sushi/sashimi, just didn't appeal. I would like to go back for lunch maybe and try the fried rolls, but for this stop, I stuck to just the fish. It was fine. A lot of items were grouped in 3s. Three pieces of shrimp tempura, three soup dumplings, etc. kind of weird. The place used to be an Applebees, but they have definitely revamped the look. Only true complaints I have about the decor is the slick floors that lead in/out of the kitchen by the bathrooms, I suppose that is why they do not have a bar (LOL).

Ice cream
Lindsey G.

All you can eat for $36! Great experience. The wait was 1.5 hours but worth it. Food came out quick. Ambiance was nice and staff was friendly. The sushi rolls were disappointing - everything else was very very good. We loved the salmon and crab wrap the best (forget the name) and dumplings. The strawberry ice cream was some of the best I've ever had!

Erin W.

Open for only 2 weeks, word has spread! This was the 2nd attempt at eating here because the first time, the wait was over 2 hours long. Since they do not offer reservations or calling ahead, I highly suggest stopping in, checking the wait, and putting your number on the list. You have 15 min from when your table is ready to get in and check in, so stay close. The amount of food options is a LOT. Everything from appetizers (crab rangoon was amazing), shrimp skewers, dumplings, sushi, Thai, and Chinese dishes and dessert. The food came out fairly quick and was really good. The only complaint I have is the dessert. We ordered three and split them all with the table. The fried oreos, cheesecake and tempura cheesecake. The oreos were mushy and the two cheesecakes temperature was frozen in the middle and hot on the ends. The main dishes though saved the meal. It was delicious. Can't wait to come back and see what else I can try!

Steph H.

The food was really good. You order on the screen and it's all you can eat. Either a person or machine delivers your food. It was a bit busy when we went so I would call ahead. The staff was really nice. There were a few birthdays around us and it looked like a great place to celebrate. We will definitely go back for our next birthday celebration.

Ask the Community - Aioe

What happens if I bring my own vessel to take leftovers home, how would they monitor that?

No. Like most buffets.

What happens if we order a dish and don't like it? Do we still have to finish it to avoid a charge for uneaten food?

The menu says they will charge you but there seems to be some grace if you just don't like it. It feels like they are just trying to prevent waste which I get since in the long run it keeps prices low.

I usually come here for dim sum, and it is upsetting for me to say that my husband and I should've chose somewhere else to eat for dinner. For dinner, we ordered fried rice and chow fun. Those two main entrées were okay. You can't really mess up those two fillers at an Asian restaurant. We ordered scallion pancakes- they came out soggy and soft. Not even crispy like how they usually are. The flavor wasn't there either. If I wanted microwaved scallion pancakes, then I would've bought them from the store and made them myself. My husband ordered the short ribs- they were bland and tough like rubber. It had a funky taste to it that he couldn't describe and he had to force himself to swallow it because he didn't want food to go to waste. I ordered the chicken feet- this is one of dim sum's signature dishes and I am so upset I didn't even get to enjoy one of the dishes I always order. It was dry and the flavor wasn't there. The service was fantastic. They checked in on us and made sure our water was filled. The timing of the food coming in and out was fine. The ambiance was inviting. There was a sense of urgency and I appreciated that.

It took them a little longer than I was quoted but it wasn't too much longer. The interior was very small with a capacity of 10. They do have a table but that's pretty much it. I would plan on taking it to go just due to space. Everyone was friendly and they made sure my order was correct when it was completed. I went with the beef and broccoli dinner combo. You get either white or fried rice. I went with fried. And it comes with an egg roll and a crab Rangoon. The crab Rangoon was large and had a sweet flavor to it. FYI: They use imitation crab for my friends with shellfish allergies. I also ordered an additional order of Rangoon and I wasn't disappointed with that decision. I think the egg roll was just a veggie one, they do have a pork and chicken option. It was fine but I preferred the Rangoon. I would try the other egg roll options in the future. I also added on a hot mustard sauce. That's a must. It's spicy. The beef and broccoli was really good. The broccoli was fresh and there were a few carrots. The beef was tender and without that weird fatty, gristly stuff. Definitely good quality. The fried rice was a bit plain. It's literally just fried rice, no veggies or egg. But it's also not at an up charge so I can't really complain. I also ordered egg drop soup. It's delicious and such a good value. I highly recommend it. I definitely plan on returning to try a few other menu options.

Grew up in a different burb of KC and have been struggling to find the nostalgic Chinese food I grew up on. Well, China Chef nailed it. I can finally settle in as a Johnson county gal (my Jackson county bones cringe only slightly). We went safe. Egg drop soup, rangoons, beef and chicken fried rice. Ordered online at 545 and the site told me it would be ready by 745. Should've been a sign that they were moving some VOLUME. Get there at 8. Wasn't going to be ready til 820. What appeared to be the whole family was slinging deliciousness the whole wait. Lobby full of patrons. Notice the 5 star review despite the delay. I assume this is a Christmas night fluke. Portions are more than generous, real chicken (not the weird cheap rubbery stuff), umami on point. Excited to come back for a regular week night and branch out on our ordering!

Tucked away in a small corner of Lenexa, Monkey King Chinese BBQ & Noodle Restaurant feels like one…read moreof the most authentic Chinese spots in the Kansas City metro area. Their menu consists of a lot of dishes, and some are quite unique .. you don't usually see items like bird's nest dishes at most Chinese restaurants around here except for maybe Bolings. Me and my husband visited on a Saturday night around 8 pm and really devoured our meal. The menu can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but you honestly can't go wrong with stir fries at any Chinese restaurant. For appetizers, we ordered chicken egg rolls, which were hefty and filling. For the main course, I ordered the chicken in black bean stir fry, and my husband got the shrimp Kung Pao chicken stir fry. We paired both with steamed rice. The black bean chicken was rich and earthy, with that deep, slightly funky flavor from the fermented black beans. It was very umami, salty and complimented nicely with the fresh, crisp vegetables and well-cooked chicken. I really liked it. The shrimp Kung Pao was spicy and tangy, with perfectly cooked shrimp (the fried shrimp covering was chefs kiss) and crispy veggies. Overall, we really enjoyed the food. The egg rolls were about $4 for two pieces, and the stir fries were around $17+ each. The portions are quite large compared to other places in the area, so the pricing seemed reasonable. For 2 main course dishes your bill could easily reach up to $40. Otherwise, The restaurant was clean, the staff was kind, and service was quick. It also wasn't too crowded when we visited. I would rate the service 4/5, mainly because we had to ask for silverware, condiments, and tissues separately. The food, though, is definitely a 5/5. Highly recommended! I will definitely return to have more dishes like beef chow fun, the soups and last, but not least BIRDS NEST!!
