    This was my first time dining here after a friend highly recommended their sushi and hibachi. The restaurant has a very small, low-key, and intimate feel to it, which ended up being perfect for us since we had my friend's child with us. It felt cozy and welcoming rather than loud and hectic. Even though the space is small, there was a good mix of people -- quite a few larger groups dining together as well as some couples on dates. ​I started with the House Salad with ginger dressing, and also tried the Squid Salad. Unfortunately, the Squid Salad wasn't for me; it had a bit of an odd taste and didn't seem as fresh as the other items. However, the sushi more than made up for it! I ordered the OMG Roll, plus another roll that I can't quite remember the name of -- it was served on top of foil and was delicious. Both sushi rolls were absolutely amazing, fresh, and flavorful! My friend went with the Chicken Teriyaki Entree; the chicken tasted okay, though the sushi was definitely the star of the show. ​What really stood out was the service. The staff members were incredibly kind and patient. My friend's child was acting up and whining quite a bit, but the servers were very understanding and made us feel comfortable despite the fuss. If you're looking for a quiet spot with great sushi and a family-friendly staff, this is a great choice!

    Wow I was really impressed with the sushi here!! For this area, it was actually really good. The sushi tasted fresh and the flavors were great . Portions were nice too. The menu is huge and even has udon and other non sushi options. I also would check out the chef special. The one we had was amazing! We also got the seaweed salad which I forgot to take a photo of but that portion is huge. Would definitely be enough as an app for four people. Really yummy as well. The cucumber really accents the seaweed! Cute little spot. There's actually a decent amount of seating and you can see some of the chefs working as well. ‍ Definitely am coming back here!! Yum!!!

    This is chirashi bowl, but it's basically just a sashimi combo plate with a lump of rice.

    To be honest, I think it's typical mediocre Midwestern sushi. Nothing was awful, nothing was great. I sat at the sushi bar, the staff did not acknowledge me. I ordered the chirashi bowl, which was served on a plate, and was basically just a sashimi combo with a big lump of rice with barely any seasoning on it. The quality of the fish was mediocre, and all the fish was cold - not served at room temperature as traditional sushi is served. It came with the soup or salad, I opted for salad, and the dressing was Ranch... Which just feels so American and not authentically Japanese at all. I was hoping for the ginger dressing. I just don't think the food here is inspired or unique, there are definitely better sushi places in our metro.

    Location: North Kansas city Ambiance: family oriented Food: sushi was awful. Did not look or taste fresh. This place is not cheap. Service: was good.

    Food was very good. I had wow sushi. It was so delicious that I ordered another one to go. I also ordered a combo fried rice to go. I also ate a piece California and a piece of Philadelphia roll. All the good was delicious. I had hot sake which was also delicious. The service was also excellent. I will definitely come back in the future.

    I absolutely love this place in Liberty! The service is always amazing, the food never disappoints, and the owners give it a homey kind of feel! I love to get the angry dragon roll. If you look at the picture, it actually looks like a dragon! I definitely recommend this place of you are looking for great sushi and even hibachi!

    Coming out of the wood works for this one....A passionate review for a WELL DESERVING spot: if…read moreyou've been considering popping in here, do it. The ambience: vibrant, artful murals sprawling the walls with homage paid to Kansas City. The space is clean and modern. Intimate seating. If you are wanting a spacious and slow experience, come in during the lunch hour. A special nod at whoever controls the playlist - there's some good music in here too! The drinks: there's such a good selection of sake, cocktails, AND beer. I've eaten at several Asian/Japanese restaurants: Kata Nori boasts a CURATED drink menu. The food: the hand rolls are the show stopper here, crudos come in close second. The hand rolls are FRESH and the fish here is so clean. Specialty fish flown in from Japan. My favorite thing about the food (which flows into my service bit) - is that you can really get some personalization done on your food. Special shout outs to Jacob, John, and Zach. But Zach, overall, was really incredible with his knowledge of the menu. He was the one making my hand rolls today and he gave very polite recommendations for plates and rolls. He was extremely knowledgeable about what was on the menu and ended up showing me something new (and probably my new favorite roll!) you can tell he's very passionate about his job and really takes pride in his work. Overall, the experience was 12/10. There's a few new "stand out" Japanese restaurants around, but it should be notably mentioned that Kata Nori was truly the first of its kind here. Come see what they're rollin' up over here!

    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!

    This is the most thoughtful restaurant in the KC area right now. The ambience is a lovely Japanese…read morefarmhouse feel and the attention to detail is clear throughout the restaurant. Every menu item feels very intentional and well executed. The offerings on the cocktail menu are fabulous. Both the ube and lychee cocktails are delicious. My partner and his mom both had a sake flight, each offering was delicious and different in offering. If you like sake you will definitely find one you like with this flight! They both ended up liking a yuzu sake and split a bottle, the finish was sweet, crisp and perfect for the Kansas City heat. I started with an espresso martini, the coffee flavor was strong and sweet and I was a fan! During our meal I opted for a martini corner dirty vodka martini and as a dirty martini enthusiast I was very pleased and will continue to recommend! I finished off with a matcha martini that was sweet, creamy and smooth and paired perfectly with our tempura banana! Speaking of food, the star of the show, we genuinely had only good bites here as usual. We sat at the bar on the corner, it was a nice seat that captured the energy of the restaurant, busy but somehow tranquil. Our bartender was great as well as all the staff behind the bar and host stand! I especially appreciate the patience of our bartender, we came and ordered many rounds of small plates, (you should do the same!) and he was nothing but enthusiastic and helpful. To start we had some furikake fries and shishito peppers. There are a lot of exciting and multilayed dishes on the menu, I think these two humble sides though really pack a punch and show that everything on the menu brings it's A game. From there the food ordering escalated as everyone in my group was over the top excited. The stand outs for me were, the dry aged salmon nigiri, the toro hand roll, the crab apple roll and my group was especially blown away by the scallops and are still talking about them a week later! Noka is in my opinion, really bringing a new level of dining to Kansas City. I'm not over stating it to say it is one of a kind in this city and everyone should try to get in.

    We came to Noka for a bridal dinner, and it ended up being such a great choice for the occasion…read more From the moment we arrived, everything felt easy and enjoyable. The service was attentive and friendly, and all of the food we ordered was delicious. One thing I really loved about Noka was the atmosphere. The space has this beautiful minimal, high-end rustic vibe that feels elevated without being overly formal. It made the restaurant feel special enough for a celebration while still being comfortable and welcoming. And a huge bonus -- Noka has a dedicated parking lot for customers! This honestly made such a difference, especially when you're dining with a group. No driving around the area trying to find a spot before dinner, which made the whole experience that much more convenient. We ordered a ton of food and had the chance to try quite a few dishes. My personal favorite was the shiitake dumplings. They were so flavorful and definitely the dish I would come back for. Overall, Noka gave us exactly what we wanted for a special dinner: great food, great service, a beautiful atmosphere, and convenient parking. We had such a lovely evening celebrating together and would absolutely come back!
