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

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.

Angry Dragon Roll
Lola W.

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!

The crab stick is not Sashimi
John L.

Crab Sticks are not Sashimi. This place had many good reviews and I noticed it in the shopping center while I was there on another errand. I ordered the Sashimi lunch, which was to consist of eight pieces selected by the chef. I like to order a combination and let the staff choose. Sometimes there is a pleasant surprise. Not today. Two crab sticks were 1/4 of my Sashimi lunch. Either charge another couple bucks and make it all Sashimi, or charge a dollar less and make it six pieces.

The food is delicious. Your wallet will hurt after you leave though. I eat a lot of food & would rather have sushi elsewhere for the price!

I'm not one to typically write reviews, but Akoya was singlehandedly the best culinary experience…read moreI've had in Kansas City. The atmosphere is intimate, the staff were so attentive, and every single bite of food was better than the last. Highly recommend trusting the experts with the omakase; it was a life changing dinner for me personally. Drinks are beautiful and delicious as well. Cannot recommend Akoya enough.

Wow, how lucky am I to stumble across this amazing place across the street from my hotel and open…read morefor lunch!? On a Monday!? I rarely see omakase restaurants or izakayas open for lunch or on a Monday, so this was pretty exciting for me. I wandered in without a resy (I hear it is needed for dinner) and was seated at the bar. All three chefs were helpful and talkative. I ordered the chirashi lunch, and while I was assured it was enough to eat, I left myself open to future nigiri. I ordered an iced green tea to start, and it was served in a beautiful glass (see photo). It tasted like hojicha as it was roasty. First, I was served gomaae, blanched spinach in sesame dressing, which was very nice. Next was miso soup. The soup was lukewarm so not my favorite, but the presentation was nice. Then came my chirashi don: a small bowl with rice mixed with diced takuan on the bottom, an assortment of fish: masu (ocean trout), tai (sea bream), hamachi (yellowtail), akami (lean tuna), suzuki (sea bass), chutoro (medium fatty tuna), and o-toro (fatty tuna), accompanied with cucumber, shiso leaf, and thinly shredded daikon. While this was satisfying, the freshness and quality led me to try four additional nigiri: kinmedai (golden eye snapper) with lemon zest and charcoal salt, seared gindara (black cod) with yuzu miso, in-house cured saba (not on menu but glad it came up in conversation!), and for dessert, Hokkaido uni (also not on menu, but happened to be in and fresh)! Everything was fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. The service was wonderful too. I would love to return for dinner and enjoy the omakase experience (though it is available at lunch). Itadakimasu!

Have waited a long time to snag this reservation, and it was well worth the wait…read more A Japanese izakaya-style restaurant with authentic Japanese dishes. Hard to choose just a few items from their menu, but I went with the beet salad, the skewer platter, and finished it off with the soft serve. My favorite was probably the chicken heart skewer actually, so don't be scared to try this one! Everything was so delicious, simple yet really flavorful. Don't think you can go wrong with anything. Their Negroni was superb! Highly recommend, and will definitely be coming back. The service was exceptional!!

First, the vibe is so intimate and cozy. Getting in without reservations is tough unless you go at an odd hour. And if they do let you in, don't test them on the your time limit. Be extra grateful and make it easy so they can seat the actual pre-reserved folks. The place is small enough and the service is nearly 2:1, so they'll definitely remember you. With that said, we tried it best to be on good behavior but that Sake flight had us feeling spicy! Which I'll speak to next, the sake flight delightfully surprised me, and gave me a few things I liked enough to order again. Did not expect that. But I shouldn't be surprised, they're obviously going to have something wildly well-curated, given the successful history of Anjin's creator. I know I'm supposed to talk about the food. But it almost feels pointless. It was obviously amazing. It's a small curated menu. They're famous for their sandwich, whatever rotation they're serving will be sure to please you. They didn't have a lot of vegan options on the menu so my friend got the cabbage dish and it was absolutely wonderful as well. That might be my only watch out if somebody is a vegan, check out the latest menu before going. With such a curated, small menu it may or may not be in a vegan's favor depending on the season. And if it's not, just drink more sake! Can't wait to return, especially with those visiting from out of town to give them an authentic, locally-owned experience.
