LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants around KC and hands down my favorite. We've been 5 times and every time they serve up the best sushi around. Fresh, rolled well (not loose and falling apart like others) tasty and pretty! The waitress does well taking care of everyone. Though a small hole in the wall in a strip mall, we love the atmosphere. It's like a Cheers bar for sushi. I would (and do) recommend Mint to all local sushi lovers! Oh, love the prices too! read more

Mint Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

So let me start by saying that I love the sushi here, it's probably the best sushi I have had in lees summit. The reason I can only give it 4 stars is because the arrangement of the restaurant is a little awkward. If you come in to get carry out I would suggest coming a little later than the estimated time because there really isn't anywhere to stand inside that is out of the way while you wait. read more

**Super accommodating with gluten intolerances** I called Mint to ask if they had a gluten-free menu and they said that they can make many of the rolls gluten-free. The waitress was helpful and told me which ones they could not make GF. They also have GF soy sauce. The Lees Summit roll and California rolls were both amazing. Many sushi places don't know what I mean when I ask if they have gluten free options so I am very happy to find a sushi restaurant that is accommodating. read more

Fair service and good variety. I tend to get the veggie sushi as i don't trust fish in the midwest.

Love, love, love. Great quality sushi, gorgeous plating. Their lunch special of 2 rolls and a cup of soup for $10.95 is a steal. read more

LOVE this place! Delicious, fresh sushi, beautiful presentations, very friendly service. We went on a Friday night and it was nearly full but service was attentive and our food was served fast. One of the best restaurants in Lee's Summit! Don't be fooled by the hole in the wall, strip mall appearance. read more

Mint Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

Who knows how the food is. Looked at their menu online to get carry out, and hardly anything on their menu has any kind of details about what's in the roll / dish. Would love to try it but they've made it impossible to know what you're ordering online. Legends of Asia here we come. read more

My absolute favorite sushi restaurant in the KC area. The owners put their heart and soul into every order. My husband and I have been enjoying Mint since they opened and never once has their quality or service wavered-rare these days! This place is a Must for every sushi lover. read more

Place is cozy and parking is plenty! The way they present their sushi is very artsy and makes the food really appetizing!! My mom and my brother who really dont like sushi actually ate some of the sushi rolls so that says alot about how yummy their food is. I am taking one star off due to the table not clean enough, the table mats were sticky and stained from soy sauce lol. Overall it was good experience and I def would come back again. read more

This is by far the best sushi place in town hands down. You can go anywhere you want but I would eat at Mint every day! The owners and staff remember me everytime I come in and they are super nice. I need something to go they instantly know me and ask me how I am doing. I love the place so much that when I get to go orders sometimes I pay for people's lunches who are eating in just to give someone a good day. Please please please go eat here you will love it. read more

This little restaurant has food that packs a punch. Love the small quaint atmosphere. I had two rolls (tootsie and dragon) and a cup of tea. The food was filling and tasty. The staff was pleasant as well. I would return and recommend to others. read more

This is a good place for sushi. Although I have to admit they seem to care more about the presentation than the product. Whoever plates the food here is truly an artist, but both my husband and I had rolls that fell to pieces because they weren't filled to capacity and/or rolled tightly enough. I also become wary when a sushi place using such an excess of sauce. It makes me wonder how much they trust their own product and its freshness. If I'm craving a super saucy roll or two, I'll definitely go here, but if I'm wanting the fish to be in the limelight (as most true sushi fans do), I'll travel the extra 15 minutes to my long-standing favorite. read more

We went to Mint on a very crowded night and almost all the tables are full, and there are only two waitresses. However the service was really pleasing, fast and welcoming. Highly recommended the jalapeño crab appertizers. The sushi is fresh, but only good enough for a quick bite if I'm craving for real sushi. Service: 4/5 Food: 4/5 read more

The sushi here is pretty great I've been numerous times and have had a variety of different rolls and all were great. I have also had their fried rice and habachi chicken all were good. I just wish their specialty rolls weren't so pricey. read more

Great spot to get take out and is always very thorough to check to make sure that the order is right and always delicious!

Mint has become my wife and I's favorite place to eat sushi Kansas City. The service that we've received when dining in was great, the sushi was phenomenal, and their hibachi chicken is great if you aren't looking for fish. We've eaten here over 10 times and we've walked out pleased EVERY SINGLE TIME. read more

Overall hugely disappointed... Sushi rolls okay but that's it. Soup was blah. White wine served warm. Hibachi chicken tastes canned and served luke warm. Worse part, when I told them about chicken they weren't remorseful or very willing to fix. $70 for a bad meal, we won't be back. read more

Good little strip mall sushi joint! My wife and I ate here on a Saturday mid afternoon for a late lunch. The place is tiny, casual, and seats maybe 30-40 people tops. There were only about 10 others there when we went though. Service was fast and friendly, and the menu has good descriptions of the various rolls and sashimi available. I had the "Fire Island Roll" and my wife had a "3 Roll" sampler, which is 3 pieces of 3 different rolls. We also shared an appetizer of steamed potstickers. The sushi was good. I've had better...and worse, and the potstickers were amazing! I honestly can't think of one bad thing to say about the place. We will definitely stop back in if we're in the area and craving some sushi. read more

Mint Sushi - The "Fire island roll" - Japanese Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

I am 100% obsessed with Mint sushi, had it for a week straight and don't regret it at all. They're cheap for good sushi. This is my number 1 spot for sushi and it always will be. I started going there in 2015 and haven't stopped. read more

Very mediocre sushi and the price isn't too bad for sushi but since it's not good sushi, I don't feel like it's worth the cost. I only go to Sushi Uni or Prime Sushi now because they actually have fresh sushi and with raw food, that's what matters. Will not be coming back to this garbage disposal. read more

It's solid for suburban sushi for those times you can't make it into the city.

I have never been a fan of sushi before, but when I came here (and I saw there was an option for cooked sushi), I fell in love with the California Tempura Roll. A little bit pricey for lunch, but if there is six people, it's worth going there if you want to try something new. read more

My absolute favorite sushi place in Kansas City! My go-to favorites are the Python roll and the Black Dragon roll. We've never had anything here we didn't like. The free donuts at the end of the meal are a wonderful touch. The service is exceptional, the staff is knowledgeable, quick and friendly. The restaurant is always clean and tables are tidied up immediately. If you're an introvert like me it's best to go during the week. The tables are tightly spaced since it's a cozy little place, but this means close quarters during the packed weekend rush. I recommend this place every chance I get! read more

Got the lunch sushi special and they were okay. The three I picked I thought would have more flair but they were standard operating procedure IMO. I'll be back to try other things. It is much smaller inside than I thought as well. read more

Mint Sushi - Lunch special - Japanese Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

The food is absolute amazing! The service is genuine and attention is to the table makes you really feel like a guest. So why 3 stars? I called beforehand to ask about MSG and was told none of their food had MSG. Well, survey says that is not true. I became violently ill from my reaction! If you have a sensitivity, you may want to select another restaurant. If you don't have such concerns, this is the a great place to eat hibachi and sushi! read more

Clearly a family ran restaurant, but the love, dedication, and deliciousness that goes into every dish, every order makes it well worth having a 10 year old taking your order. read more

The last time after a meal I ordered more off of the menu has been a while. I had the crab jalapeños and they were worth the trip. Decor meh, service was very good and they were busy. I want to come back and have not left yet. read more

Mint Sushi - 3 roll lunch with spicy crab jalapeños in back - Japanese Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

One of the few places I can get a daikon radish roll! The staff is always pleasant even though it can get a little hectic since it's a small place, but it stays really busy for a local residential sushi joint. For me, it's a quick stop for dinner when I'm visiting my sister in town. I'm only reviewing on the one roll because that's what I usually order; I don't bother with the rice. For the price, it's all protein and veggie, you can't beat the fresh taste of it! read more

Quaint Sushi Bar. Perfect quiet place for a date with a friend. Always friendly staff and fresh sushi! Highly recommend.

Hands down THE BEST sushi in Lees Summit....heck probably all of KC. It is so good! Presentation is always beautiful. It is a very small place but very comfy. read more

The artistic presentation of the food is equally matched by the quality and on top of that it's just freaking delicious!! If you care about good sushi just do yourself a favor and check it out. read more

Delicious sushi, awesome presentation, fun decor, clean interior, kind service...can't say enough about Mint! They really go out of their way with the presentation and it really adds to the meal. read more

I only had the sushi at Mint, so this will be of no use if you are after insight into the rest of their menu. To begin, lees Summit in particular and KC in general has a high number of Sushi restaurants. I have been to alot but not all of them, as well as Sushi joints from Hawaii to Florida. I have a favorite in the area and usually am disappointed when I stray away from them. Not to say I have never found other raw fish purveyors that I don't adore. I chose to try out Mint on the recommendation of several people. Upon arrival I can clearly see this is a small operation, not a problem. However employees laying around on the dining room tables is something else altogether. As are the abandoned hand tools left in the window sill. My wife and I are seated. We are helped promptly. We order Edemame, one Onion Soup, one Miso, 2 Spicy Crab Salads, one Tuna Roll and a Sashimi Deluxe which includes a California Roll. We are drinking an Iced Tea and Hot Green Tea. My wife is not happy with the Iced Tea, I concur that it is a little off. The Green Tea is fine. The Edemame is a tad oversalted but ok otherwise. The Spicy Crab Salad is really where this turns south. The presentation is top notch but, if you are going to offer a copy of another restaurants signature dish in this burb you had better bring your "A" game. The salad lacks the crunch of the Panko crumbs, even though I can see them? They are already mushy. The actual edible part of the dish, excluding the artwork, Is a dingy brownish color. Not the vibrant colors I am used to. The flavor has the slight hint of fishyness, it might have been the pickles? Why pickles? I have the suspicion that the salads are pre-made in a batch, not to order, this would account for most of these issues. The soups are a little watery, theres just more to enjoy that way right? The California roll is of the type found in grocery stores. I think they cut up the crab and mix it into a paste with something else, I could not identify the other ingredients. The Tuna Roll is ok. The Sashimi is served coiled up like a snake. They cut each piece several times like fringe to make this work. While a unique presentation, it makes manipulating each piece rather difficult as they are now ultra floppy and hard to grip. No sushi plates were provided. The serving temperature of all the sushi dishes came into question between my wife and I. All the sushi dishes we had were room temp. I did a little research and I guess it is not unheard of, but my wife was definitely put off by it. I to would prefer a little chill on my raw fish, Its just the rube in me I guess. After the meal they gave us some complimentary chinese sugar donuts. They were delivered my a man sporting the most unflattering billy goat gruff style of facial hair. I recognized him as the guy from earlier laying across one of the tables in the rear of the place , now he is up close and personal, yum yum. As you read about all this lack of attention to detail in the front of the house. Keep in mind that unlike most Sushi joints across the globe. Mint prepares ALL the food in the back, out of view. The bill, this meal cost us $49 about par I believe. The TLDR. totally unimpressed too many options in the area to go back. read more

The presentation and freshness of their food is fantastic, and this is consistent each and every time we have lunch or dinner here (and we come frequently). Their menu is extensive and includes hibachi grill items, sushi and Thai. Plus, it's run by two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Soon it will feel like you're having lunch with good friends and not just visiting a restaurant. If I could give it more stars, I would! read more

I'm a 6 ft, 300 pound black man....pretty hard to ignore. Yet my last two visits I was pretty much ignored by the wait staff. Beyond getting a menu I'm not given water or any other attention. Others who arrive after me are given menus, water with lemon and orders are taken. And if your the ilk that thinks, "Well, blacks folks don't tip!" You'd be sadly mistaken. I start at 20% and the servers attention determines if it stays there. I travel for a living with extended trips to Okinawa Japan so I know sushi and service. The Japanese pioneered the idea of service. My time there I often feel as if I'm taken advantage of they are so attentive. I know this isn't Japan but can't a brother get fair service at least?! read more

This place is into the presentation of the food and I think that is why they charge so much. The staff is friendly but the taste of the food isn't that good. It looks good but that's not enough for me. I've been twice now. I like to give things at least two chances. But I don't think I'll be back. read more
