This review is for the experience my loved ones and I had on Saturday, February 21st…read more I know I'm a bit behind on my reviews again, but posting now other than later is still a good thing lol.. ^_^ I'm doing my best to keep up! That awkwardly being included and all, during girl's visit day that weekend, we chose to get lunch at the nearest sushi joint to where we were hanging out and found Tokyo Sushi Bar & Steak House! We chose a time and place early enough in the day where it was just us! We were comfortable with the restaurant all to ourselves! hehe We tried so many rolls that day, and I couldn't resist trying their seaweed salad & fish eggs! Everything was really nice and satisfying for us I can proudly say. We will absolutely return for another sushi-fix when we're back in Belton! ^_^

I was expecting a very simple place but actually they had a pretty extensive menu.. we went mid…read moreafternoon on Saturday and it was pretty packed. One thing that stood out was that actually the booths were very good size if you're a person that's more in the healthy size if you get what I mean... service was outstanding and I was quite impressed for a place like that to be in the area would definitely go back.

It is good and small Japanese bbq place, it is kind of pricey for dinner compare to k-pot. But the…read moretaste was different and less greasy. You couldn't go pick yourself and they brought the three items you picked per time. We went weekday so it was okay, but if on a busy time, I could imagine you couldn't get much to eat or time since there is a 90 mins limit if you have a or of people, it may not work well. The green tea ice cream was pretty good not too sweet. Our server was pretty nice.

Gyu-Kaku is definitely a fun and cute spot if you are in the mood for something different. The…read moreconcept of grilling your own food at the table makes it feel interactive and a little special. The flavors were good and the seasoning on the meat and dipping sauces stood out. The mango drink was refreshing and the appetizers like the wontons and shrimp were tasty. That said, the portions felt small for the price and it added up quickly. It is a lot of work to keep the grill going and cook everything, which makes it more of a novelty than a place I would visit regularly. Our server lingered at the table quite a bit which made things slightly awkward instead of relaxed. Overall, I would go back if someone really wanted to try it for a special occasion or for the experience, but it is not something I would make part of my everyday dining rotation.

Went to dinner here with my friends tonight, the place was pretty busy and staff seemed nice. When…read morewe went to order, we ordered two crab rangoons. Our server said "well you know 6 of those come in each order" , not sure if she was trying to be helpful but to us it sounded kind of rude. Service was fast, kind of seemed like she wanted to get us out of there as quickly as she can. Sushi was okay, probably wouldn't come here again.

Just look at this fish. Amazing portions, fresh, delicious, and visually appealing. Haven't found a…read morebetter place for sushi in the metro. Love the owners, always so friendly and seem happy to host you. Place is clean and always buzzing.

Very pleasant experience here. Food was good, service was great. Had some calm playing music.read more

This is an update from my last posted review. I was offered a free entree via the owner on my yelp…read morereview, but I decided to pay & give them a second try. Today I ordered my food around 2:05pm & it was promptly delivered around 2:27pm (pretty good timing this time around). We ordered their hibachi chicken & steak with crab Rangoon & Rice. I also ordered their California sushi roll minus the cucumber. Both entrees arrived fresh, hot & ready to eat! We really enjoy it! Their ping sauce (a spin on shrimp sauce) is tasty as well! It was really good with the sushi dipped in it. Overall I'm satisfied, I hope this level of service remains consistent. If so we will be frequent clients. Thanks !

Ordered through DoorDash and it was very quick on everyone's part. I'm not too sure what the inside…read more looks like though. I got the lo mein and crab ragoons and it was good! All good until after eating a few, my tummy started hurting. I tried it again next day and same thing happened. Most likely won't eat there again but it was good while it lasted! ‍‍

This place is so yummy! We are from out of town and went into this place by a recommended of one of…read moreour colleagues! It was so yummy! Portions are HUGE. Didn't love the teriyaki chicken, but the rolls were sooo amazing, we also had the PADI THAI soooo yummy! Service was great!! It was a vibe, but it was a little warm, I hope they get some AC!

As always, the food at the Sake Lounge is artfully crafted, and tastes amazing. Service was…read morefriendly and efficient. The loss of a star is due to the fact that we sat in a space where we were continually experiencing the smell of a room air freshener. While we ate, I thought perhaps it was throughout the restaurant, but when I went to the ladies restroom, I realized that the strong oder was coming from within (our table was the closest to the hall leading to the restroom). If this has been our first experience at Sake Lounge, we probably wouldn't return-however we hope the management might address this, and if seated elsewhere, it would not be a problem.

If I could give more than 5 stars to KC Craft Ramen, I would! The food was AMAZING, and I loved the…read moredrink selection. I was also very glad to learn that the noodles don't have eggs in them since I have an allergy. They have a small selection of vegan options, most notably a regular and a spicy vegan ramen. The vegan options are very clearly marked as such on the menu, too, so there's no confusion. The menu also mentioned gluten free noodles as an option, however I didn't get the chance to ask staff about cross contamination or anything else that might have gluten, so I can't be certain if it's truly gluten free friendly or not. The next time I go I will try to get that info and will update this review accordingly! Every single staff member was so attentive and polite, and very patient with me during my first visit when I had questions. The seating and decor are also excellent, I loved the overall vibe. All in all it was such a pleasant experience, and I can't wait to return to try more of their menu!

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.

My husband and I visited Noka for our anniversary, and from the moment we sat down, it felt like an…read moreexperience rather than just dinner. First, the aesthetics are an easy 11/10. Every detail feels intentional, from the plating and presentation to the atmosphere itself. As someone who appreciates design, Noka absolutely delivers. Food-wise, there were two undeniable stars of the night: * Wagyu Nigiri (100/10) - One of the best bites I've ever had. Rich, buttery, perfectly balanced, and worth ordering every single time. * Crab Campanelli (11/10) - Absolutely incredible. Comfort food elevated to fine dining quality. If I came back tomorrow, I'd order this again without hesitation. Other highlights: * Filet (10/10) - Beautifully cooked, incredibly flavorful, and paired with perfectly prepared bok choy. Everything on the plate felt intentional. * Night Market Wings (8.5/10) - The quality was excellent. The sweet heat profile just wasn't exactly my personal preference, but that's purely subjective. If you enjoy spicy food with a lingering, slightly numbing heat, you'll probably love these. * Shrimp Tempura Roll (8/10) - Very good and executed well. * Tuna Roll (7/10) - Good, but it was the least memorable item compared to some of the standout dishes we ordered. Noka excels at creating a complete dining experience. Beautiful atmosphere, thoughtful presentation, excellent service, and several dishes that genuinely surprised us. For a special occasion, date night, or anyone looking for an elevated dining experience in Kansas City, it's absolutely worth a visit.
