As always, the food at the Sake Lounge is artfully crafted, and tastes amazing. Service was friendly 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.
I love to come here for their bento box lunch special! It's a great price and you get a little sampling of everything. Their sushi is delicious and the presentation is quirky. I have been here many times and each time the service has been excellent and we get our food extremely fast.
EXCELLENCE EVERY TIME!! BEST gyozo- potstickers! Beautiful sushi!! No simple rice or seaweed wraps-- wide variety of seafood, veggies, fruit rolls, & sauces! Almost too pretty to eat!
Food Poisoning from eating here on 10/10/25 I really hate to leave this review, but I unfortunately my mom and myself got food poisoning after eating here for her birthday. We both became very sick and have had all the classic food poisoning symptoms. We hadn't eaten anywhere else that day, so I'm confident it was from this restaurant. It's disappointing because the food itself seemed fine at the time and the presentation was lovely, but no one expects to leave a restaurant and end up ill. I'm sharing this so others are aware and so management can investigate their food safety practices -- I'd really like to see this addressed so it doesn't happen to someone else. The rolls we got were the Iron Man, the Sake Panda and King Salmon.
This place is a repeat favorite of mine. The sushi quality always hits and it's speedy service. I like to get it to-go because it's right next to my house. Prices are reasonable as well. This isn't pictured but I also love their stir-fry udon.
The sushi is delicious, the presentation is neat. Service is prompt and friendly. The feel of the restaurant is calm and relaxing. Making it feel upscale and fancy while remaining affordable. Cannot go wrong with this place
My favorite place for sushi！Sushi has been top notch，staffs friendly，and drink delicious.Every time we met with the same experience and consistency in the food and staff.
Was greeted promptly and walked into a well kept, attractive, modern asian restaurant! Waitress promptly greeted me and took my order. I ordered two rolls, gyoza and a bowl of white rice. All were brought promptly! Presentation, freshness and taste were on point! I do not have anything bad to say. This was a great experience and I will be back!

Sake Lounge has unbelievably fresh food. It tastes high quality and almost silky in your mouth. It's completely delightful and unexpected. I will, most assuredly, be back!! read more

Seriously in love with this restaurant. I am normally not a huge sushi fan (I do not like fish and am allergic to avocado) but came here with my fiancé anyway. I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken katsu and got it EVERY TIME. I love the sweet potato roll and have loved every experience here. I will say, it is really expensive so we do not get to go nearly as much as I would like. Also, they have pretty long wait times since they are short-staffed. My fiancé and friends get the shaggy dog, California roll, and a few others seen in my photos and enjoy them so much! read more

I was a little unsure about trying this place, because when we would drive by, it looked like a dirty Asian karaoke bar. (Come to find out...it actually USED to be ~ Hahahaa!!!) The atmosphere is warm and friendly, the service is just as great and the food is DELICIOUS! I accidentally walked into their happy hour (prices are nothing to brag about) and was able to get more than expected. It all tastes pretty fresh and they don't slouch on the presentation, even if it's just happy hour. Their prices seem fair, considering the quality. So glad I tried this place! My family and I will be coming in to try one of the boat specials soon! Mahalo! read more
Whenever I have a sushi craving, this is the first place that comes to mind. I really like the boat combos and lunch specials for sushi. I have gotten the regular dinners before and they were good but sushi is the best there. Friends and family that I recommended have been pretty happy with this place. read more

I'm a sucker for miso, yellowtail and hot sake and this place at it all! We had the Miso soup, Gyoza and 3 specialty rolls this visit. We will defiantly go back to try more rolls soon which is better than most places in town! Flavors and presentation were on point. Fish was covered in lots of sauces and crunchies rather than being the star of the rolls. Perfect place for new sushi eaters since the fresh fish isn't overwhelming. Need to try the sashimi next time to get a better feel for that. Sake carafe was massive and it poured like a dream! Not a drop was wasted :-) Service was wonderful! Now if we can just find a sushi bar with a patio to enjoy this KCMO weather. read more

My friends and I went in for happy hour, which first of all their happy hour times are super great! Mon-Sat 4:30-6:00 and Sunday 3:30-9:00! The happy hour prices are extremely low and you get high quality food! The service was fast and attentive for ordering and drinks. The restaurant is perfect for a romantic date or a fun time with friends! I definitely would recommend going in during the happy hour times because you get a lot of food for the price. The rolls pictured are the wildcat, KC rainbow, volcano roll, and the pink one I can't remember the name of. They were all amazing and the display makes it extra special. We also ordered the Crab Rangoon too! They were delicious read more

Was so excited to find a sushi restaurant that has dine in seating. Beautiful decorations on the plate and such fresh sushi. Tables are spaced and reservations are 24 hours in advance however when I called they said it would be ok on a weekday lunch without one. My daughter and I are going back this week. read more
Tried this place out for lunch today & I must say it was nicely decorated inside. There weren't many customers inside but it could be from the construction work outside. Maybe about 7 total customer tables with at least 2-4 customers in each. I looked up the menu beforehand & decided on the Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box on the Lunch menu. If they had Salmon I would have ordered that. It was served with 4 California rolls, 2 Crab Rangoon's, white rice & I opted for the house salad instead of the Miso soup. The salad (didn't take a pic) seem like it had the right amount of dressing from the top but when I got part way down it was drenched in dressing. Nothing special to note on the California rolls & crab rangoons except they were good. Teriyaki chicken was flavorful. My friend ordered the Sushi and Sashimi Combo on the lunch menu & it looked good & pretty! I'm not much of a raw person so that's why I said it looked good. Waitress was nice & refilled my water when it went low. Only complaint is the food took a little bit too long to be served for someone who only has an hour for lunch. read more

I've been here twice and had a good experience. The restaurant is set up weird. You walk in straight into the bar, with no signs to tell you if there is a hostess stand or if it's seat yourself. The first time I came, the bartender (after a couple of minutes of standing there like an idiot) told us to seat ourselves. Our waiter wasn't notified of our arrival, and therefore was slow to start. But she was apologetic and was really great. The sushi we ordered that night was quick, fresh and pretty decent. We went again a couple of nights ago. Again the bartender had to direct us, except this time she told us to go to the other side of the restaurant to the hostess stand. We didn't even know there was another side, so we wandered over and were seated promptly. Our server was very nice and the food came out quickly. I ordered the tom yum seafood soup and it was great. Reminded me of the soup my mom used to make when I was a kid. I'll definitely be coming back for this when I get a craving. The sushi menu is pretty big and has some rolls/combinations that others do not so that's always a plus. The ones we ordered were fresh and arrived to our table quickly. They were pretty good, though not the best I've ever had. Overall, we liked the restaurant and will be back. read more

Once you see the decor and atmosphere, along with the fantastic food presentation, you'll understand why this is one of the best sushi joints around! Today, my friend and I came in for lunch. She got the Katsu chicken box with crab rangoon, and a veggie roll. I went for the classics: shrimp tempura and the Philadelphia roll. All the rolls were delicious. Looking forward to bringing my family here to get the sushi boat and updating with more images. read more

Taste : 4/5 Service :3/5 Price: $$-$$$ (imo) Taste: I got the wildcat roll which is a cooked roll and some people can really dislike that... but I liked it. The tempura was crunchy and I would definitely say it taste better than the average sushi you get in Kansas. Now, this will probably depend on how fancy of a sushi place you've been to...but I am a student so I haven't been to fancy fancy sushi places. My friend got the salmon nagiri (?) - the salmon piece on top of rice. He said he really likes the ratio of fish to rice. The taste wasn't buried by the rice, which occurs in some places where they give you a fistful of rice. Service: 3/5 because while there were enough empty tables, there weren't enough servers! So it just felt weird sitting/ standing to wait when there were clearly empty tables. Also, because it was a bit understaffed, the service did take a bit more time in getting our orders. However, I think the servers did well even in this disadvantageous setting. Price - I would say it's a bit on the higher than average of the area. Overall : I would come again! Maybe after saving up a bit to enjoy some more rolls~ read more

Impressive just doesn't cut it when describing this restaurant! My date and I went for lunch on Saturday. We walked in and while the lighting was on the dim side, the atmosphere was very nice. We decided to sit at the Sushi bar - and I'm glad we did because I wouldn't have been able to snag the picture of the Sushi Boats. The restaurant was aptly named! Open the drink menu and the first thing you see is a long list of the various Sake's they have. My date chose the Cucumber Sake and I had a sweet one (pear and something else and I cannot pronounce the name much less type it!). Both were very good but the cucumber one was to die for delicious. These were not warmed Sake's but served chilled. We both had the Miso soup before our sushi. It was very good and there was no chintzing on the seaweed or tofu. While we were waiting for our meals we watched them create works of art. Miniature Junk boats (sans sails) filled with various sushi and sashimi, palm trees, lettuce garnish, roses formed out of ginger, and beautiful orchids. We ordered the 3 roll combo - yellowtail scallion, spicy crunchy tuna and spicy crunchy crab. They brought them out on a platter that had sauce formed into a dragon and one of those beautiful orchids. Very fresh and delicious with just the perfect amount of spiciness. We are excited to go back and try more varieties - in what my date called "The Love Boat" or "Battleship". I prefer Love Boat - I'm a lover not a fighter! read more

Just under four stars as opposed to four solid stars. This place is a little hard to find. A big place with four doors but only one used. Not sure if the place fills up, we were there early on a week night. So the facility was a little odd, not bad just odd. I did find the sticky floor off putting. The service was relaxed, friendly and attentive. Very nice easy going waitress. She answered our questions and asked the chef about special orders. The food was good. Standard fare that one would expect. Prices were reasonable. Nice presentation on the Phoenix roll. I would return. read more

Ah, finally got the chance to visit the restaurant that you always hear on the radio in KC. We came here for dinner in anticipation in ordering a sushi boat, but were told it was Happy hour! We were all very surprised because we came at 7 o'clock on a Sunday night. When entering, the restaurant is pretty dim lit. The staff were friendly, but it did take a little longer than expected for a server to come find us at our table and take our menu orders. I honestly cannot remember which rolls I ordered, but they had a good variety of rolls on their happy hour menu. I do remember getting the spicy salmon crunch roll and rainbow roll, both which were good. The fish didn't taste old/pre-frozen. The prices are decent today, with rolls ranging from 3.50 to 7.50ish. On a final note, the presentation for the rolls at this restaurant are on point! I did not get to try any of their entree items, but I think compared to the happy hours in Kansas City that serve sushi, this restaurant has my vote. read more

So this is the sushi spot that every KC radio talks about lol. Love this place , been here numerous times and it never disappoints. Great cooked rolls. I always get the shaggy dog which is my favorite roll here, the volcano and the mango roll . the sushi is delicious, good service , good parking and lovely food presentation. I think the only downside to the restaurant is the lighting, it is very dark. It would be better if it had better lighting. read more

Came here for lunch today and got some great food and great service. Our food came out super quickly and was very tasty. Good amount of food for the price. We both got the lunch Bento Box with teriyaki chicken. read more
This place is so yummy! I read yelp reviews before and many people recommended the happy hour. It's so worth it! The happy hour is M-Sat from 4:30-6pm and Sun from 3:30-9pm. I got a Boulevard wheat beer for $2.95, and sushi rolls for $7.95 and below. The service was great and presentation of each roll was so cute! read more

My #1 sushi place for the OP area! I love sushi so I'm usually pretty picky with its taste. Out of all the places in town this one is my go to! It's always fresh and I've never gotten sick from anything here (which sadly can happen a lot from sushi in Kansas). The restaurant is always clean and a bit nicer than your typical casual sushi bar. Love their plating presentation as well! read more

This was my first time at Sake Lounge. I was feeling a bit better about coming here for my friend's birthday because they all kept talking about sushi and I do not like sushi. I am glad that there were other options on the menu that I could enjoy. I ordered the chicken teriyaki which was very good. My husband sure did enjoy eating my leftovers before I could get to them! We also ordered the pot stickers for an appetizer which were so good! Our server was great and came by often to see if we needed anything. She also brought our friend a complimentary sundae for her birthday! We will definitely come back here again. I am glad I gave it a try. read more

I was excited to try the new sushi restaurant near me and was not let down at all. They are currently running an AYCE special for the first few months that features many of their rolls and comes with their miso soup and salad bar. I was a fan of the salad bar. It was very simple, but hit the components of what I like in a salad bar. Simple salad options with a couple of meats and a nice selection of fruits. The thousand island dressing was delicious. I could stop by and enjoy just the salad bar for a light lunch or dinner. It may not be everyone's preference, but perfect for me! The miso soup had a healthy amount of tofu and seaweed sheets in it which was nice, but I wasn't a huge fan of the broth. It was a little lacking in flavor. The sushi was great. Everything tasted extremely fresh and the combinations of the special rolls were excellent. The AYCE does just include rolls and I would have liked to experience some of the selections as individual pieces, but overall impressed with the quality. The AYCE menu is heavy in fried options and spicy options. I quickly looked over the regular menu, so I can not speak to rather this is true throughout the entire menu. My preference would be for more fresh raw options and less fried tempura sushi rolls. I did notice a few rolls that include fruit on the regular menu which is a plus as I like the savory sweet rolls. For those non-sushi fans, the menu has other Asian options making the place appealing to a mix of tastes. The staff was great. The owner was very attentive when I came in, talking to me and making sure I was welcome and checking back at the end of my meal to make sure I enjoyed my experience. He really cared about what I thought of the place. (He did know I was a Yelper as we discussed this, but based on other reviews and his actions before finding this out, I don't think that was a factor to his actions.) The sushi chefs and waitresses were top notch, friendly, attentive, proactive, just excellent service. The restaurant has a lot of room and some of it is still being completed and has not opened yet. The section I sat in I have a mixed review on. It is nice, I like that they don't use throw away chop sticks. I like the lighting, would make for a nice romantic dinner, but also good for friends or meetings. The music was a mix of cultural music and some mild alternative rock. I liked this mix. There was some areas that was just plain plywood that appeared to be completed, but I am not sure. This took away from the elegant, romantic feel of the place, maybe some painting is still being done. Also, I was not a fan of the artwork above the sushi area. It looks like a giant collection of hair. Just wouldn't be my pick of artwork in a restaurant. Overall, this is a great addition to the area. Although there is a sushi restaurant across the street, Sake Lounge goes far above the quality they have after my last visit there. The only thing keeping me from going to the fifth star is the huge amount of fried rolls that are on the menu. Maybe it is me, but don't Americans like non-fried sushi anymore?
