Crab rangoons, egg roll, fries, and chicken wings. Lackluster plate, I know, but this is only food picture I have of this place
Clark E.

A few things to say. First off, the food; the make or break of any restaurant. Great. The crayfish are delectable, and lo mein is nice too. Some grievances however, the fries are a bit undercooked, and having the ice cream just out like that isn't the most sanitary. I haven't seen much wrong with the service, the lady (or guy) at the front sits us down, and we get refills every once in a while. Then they hand us the bill, and that's really it. I like the string lights in the place, it adds to the ambiance. I always look forward to coming here. Will come agian.

Vegetable lo mein, beef broccoli, general Tso's chicken

This restaurant came highly recommended, however if I could receive a refund, I'd gladly take it. First off, the person at the door acted as if she couldn't care less whether customers came in or not. This was a very poor first impression. Why did t I leave then? Shame on me!!! She barely even directed me to a seat....no people skills...AT ALL!!! I will say my server was phenomenal! She was extremely attentive, kind and professional. I couldn't have been more pleased with her service. The food...well, another story. Just about everything I chose was not hot...in fact, it was barely warm. Are you serious? Maybe the burners were worn out...I don't know, but it was awful. I wonder if the food was hot if it would've made a difference....it was just that bad and several selections were flavorless... One thing's for sure...I don't plan on returning. I'm an Asian food connoisseur and I've had a thousand times better. It's a wrap!

The buffet has a reasonable selection. The price has increased significantly though. Thus, this option is much less a value choice.

Is it customary to tip buffets?

Yes, for the waitstaff who clear your table. Many buffets you pay in advance so I leave a cash tip from 10% to 20% depending on level of service delivered.

Kata Nori Hand Roll Bar

Kata Nori Hand Roll Bar

Kata Nori is a classy and modern handroll restaurant located not too far from downtown Kansas City…read more Visited for dinner on a Wednesday night and was able to snag a reservation on open table day of. We ordered a bunch because we were excited to try everything. Usually I feel like handroll/sushi restaurants don't have good drinks but wow are the drinks here amazing and worth every dollar. The sansho sour was stand out and addictive to drink (I had 2). For the handrolls they're a bit on the pricier side which makes dinner here a splurge night. I order 8 handrolls and was still hungry at the end of it. I highly recommend the negitoro which has a bit of chives and shiso, the spicy sake which is spicy salmon with shiso and cucumber, and the spicy tuna. I was basically eating those on rotation throughout dinner and was so happy. The hamachi is solid and yummy as well but at the end of the day it's just hamachi with fried onions so the other handrolls just have more wow. When you order the rolls and sit at the bar the chefs making the handrolls keep tabs on the pace in which you are individually eating at and only deliver the next roll when you're close to finishing your current bite or just finished it. This timing really amazed me and put the cherry on top because I always had something to eat and it was always the freshest it could be. We also got the scallop crudo which I didn't really like at all truthfully. The quality of the ingredients were amazing but the flavor combinations in the sauce were off putting to me so I wouldn't order it again. There was mostly just street parking and they have 2 bathrooms. Overall I would come back to eat here if I was in Kansas City. If comparing to spots in LA I would say the quality of the handrolls would be very average.

Jazz club / Sushi bar combo - interesting concept!…read more We didn't fit the target demographic, but we're made to feel quite welcome by both staff and other guests - very nice! We chose hand rolls from the unique menus, and complied with our server's suggestion to munch while the nori was nice and crisp - a great suggestion. Texture was spot on, and taste, while a little out of the ordinary in our experience, was quite interesting. Music was a little loud, probably suited a little better for later in the evening when packed with more people. Prices were a little high, even by our Los Angeles-area standards, but probably appropriate for an "in" spot.

Really great calamari and overall excellent customer service…read more The atmosphere is really cool and calm. This is definitely a spot I can enjoy.

A sushi restaurant that has its own extensive vegan menu??…read more It sounds weird, but Blue Sushi does it and does it right! Sushi is more than the fish; it's the rice, it's the ingredients, and its the combination of flavor and texture wrapped up in a small bite-sized piece. I'm used to (and love) my avocado rolls, but it's nice to get some proper creative vegan rolls! Here, they have an extensive menu full of creative vegan rolls, some made with vegan proteins such as salmon and tuna! Even better, they do an incredible happy hour where many of the vegan rolls are included! I went here twice during my trip. I tried these rolls: Vegan Philadelphia: My favorite, as it is a simple roll I rarely get to enjoy as a vegan. Vegan cream cheese and vegan salmon put together to get that nostalgic creamy flavor. Vegan Kaluna Crunch: Delicious texture combining crunchy and smooth. Shiitake to me: Umami burst of flavor from the mushrooms Vegan Hot Pepper: My least favorite of the 4 I've tried, but still creative and has a spicy kick! I also had their miso soup and sake cocktails. I sat at the bar and had a great time. It was always busy, so I recommend reservations if you want a table!

2 spectacular sushi rolls. 2 crab Rangoon…read more 1 salad or soup choice. For $13. Okay, so it's the lunch special... ...but yeah, $13. And you can make book that you are going to enjoy any sushi roll you get. The portion sizes are very generous and you won't go away hungry, guaranteed. Veggie or seafood, spicy or savory, and just about anything in between is on the menu. My go-to is the Spicy Tuna Crunch roll or maybe the Spicy Crab Salad roll and either way I'm happy as can be. Throw in a couple of Rangoons, with the sweet sauce, as an appetizer and your lunch or dinner is very likely to be an absolute banger. Sushi UNI does a LOT of to-go orders, but if you're staying in, then just know that it can be a touch 'cozy' with seating. There is not a lot of wide walking space, but their sushi game brings in the crowds. You can expect a short wait at lunch, but there are great seats at the sushi bar if you're lucky to get one. But you aren't there for the dining space, you're there for the sushi - and it's FABULOUS. The parking lot is a crampy nightmare, and since there are other popular spots nearby, the lot always seems full. Pricing is fair lunch or dinner, but the value is WAY more than the price point. Service is quick & friendly & most of all, accurate (who wants eel if they ordered tuna?). Great space and outstanding eats!

Add me to the Sushi Uni fan list. Was in Kansas City for the week and was wondering about sushi…read moreoptions. The yelp reviews for this place were hard to pass up. I ordered to go and enjoyed the pan fried gyoza and the tuna tartare avocado entree. Thought both were great. Will definitely be back. Parking lot is the only challenge, but was not surprised to see the restaurant full.

First off Popcorn hamachi (Bitch get there and order it for…read moreyourself!) Delicate. Sophisticated and subtle. My friend and I picked at the popcorn and umami "gravel" like two hens. It was delectable every bite. The mixture of texture and spice. Can't wait to have it again. The space was simple. sexy and sophisticated. No pretension and really amazing service. Kat was such a pleasure at the bar. The space had all the small quirks you'd expect from chef & owner @amantedomingo86 The real shock for me is his experimental program. dry aging fish. From my 20+ (yes aging myself here) of chef experience I could happily never eat or smell salmon again. It's the one food that's in every restaurant. I'd be rich if I had a dime for every filet I've cleaned, cut & portioned. Let's just say if there's a salmon dish, i pass. That has now changed. Amante presented us with a beautiful dish of 4 salmon sushi. Left to right. 10, 20, 30 & 40 day aged salmon each with a lovely garnish. I'm no influencer. I enjoyed 10 &20 before snapping a terrible picture, realizing I needed to document this moment (for science) Needless to say we were blown away by the clean fresh taste and beautiful texture of each piece. This changes the game in what sushi can be and where it can go. I cannot wait to return. Also want to mention the truffle tuna roll & crabapple roll. Apple, soft shell crab, a perfect roll. :)

Nōka is easily one of my favorite upscale restaurants in Kansas City! Tucked away in Martini…read moreCorner, this Japanese-inspired restaurant makes you feel like you've stepped outside of KC entirely. The moody lighting, natural wood, and beautiful Japanese farmhouse aesthetic make the atmosphere just as memorable as the food! My absolute favorite dish is the dry-aged salmon nigiri, but their menu also features creative pasta dishes, steaks, seafood, and more. The menu changes seasonally, so there's always something new to try! Here's a cool fact: Nōka means "farmer" in Japanese, and chef-owner Amante Domingo created the restaurant as a tribute to his late father, who operated an organic farm in Missouri. Some of the wood throughout the restaurant even came from the family farm! Whether you're planning a romantic date night or celebrating something special, Nōka is worth experiencing for the ambiance alone!
