Sushi UNI has somewhat of a cult following in the KC metro. It's nestled into an unassuming strip mall in Lenexa, and is well known for offering spectacular lunch deals. Over a year ago I tried it out for the first time but it was so packed at lunch I couldn't get a table and had a just okay experience. I'm glad I came back and had a chance to really take it all in. Knowing it fills up for weekday lunches I met my sister here for an early lunch around 11:15 and we were able to get right in and snag a seat. It should be noted that even on a Monday this place filled up and by the time we left it was at capacity with a wait forming. Their website is a bit misleading as when I checked this week it still had the old lunch prices of around $10 for two rolls, soup or salad, and two crab rangoons. I was in awe of this deal so when I saw that the prices had bumped up to $12 I was not surprised - I still think $12 is a great deal in today's economy for TWO sushi rolls, soup, and two crab rangoon. You also get tons of rolls to choose from so it's a really fun lunch experience. When our food came out it was a lot so I think next time I might even go for the one roll lunch, but it was such a great meal and even after tip was good value. The servers were nice, the hot and sour soup was honestly some of the best I've ever had, and I loved the sushi. I'll be back!

This place is popular for a reason, that's for sure. We have only been here once since there doesn't seem to be a way to make a reservation and the place is always crowded. We got lucky the other day since we wanted an early dinner and we managed to snag the last available take before the big rush. Our server was friendly and prompt. The food portions were very generous. I am a big fan of lemon rolls that were popular in California, but hard to find here. Sushi Uni has both a salmon and a tuna options. I'd love to come back and try the tuna.

I returned to this establishment in December and was immediately greeted by the hosts. They were very friendly. When we were seated, I ordered the lunch special which included 2 crab rangoons, a soup/salad, and three rolls! The food was warm, delicious, and well proportioned. I highly recommend visiting this place if you're craving sushi, especially for a great price! I will definitely return.

Sushi trio for lunch. KC roll. Steak hibachi with fried rice.

This place never disappoints. We usually come in for dinner, but Friday for lunch. They have a great lunch menu, which offers high value for not just sushi, but even hibachi style entrees. My favorite role, KC roll, was not part of the lunch special, so I had to obviously order that on the side as it is a staple every visit. The servers are very friendly. It gets pretty busy, so immediate seating might not be guaranteed.

87th street roll and UNI roll

Food - A solid contender for Best Sushi in town. Service - Good. Ambiance - It's a sushi place with tables and a 6 seat sushi bar. Haven't been here in what seems like years, glad to be back, ordered my "not-so-usual". Spicy Crab Salad, 87th roll and UNI roll. SC Salad is a very generous portion, and mighty tasty, especially with some low-sodium soy sauce. Plenty of crab stick, seaweed, cucumber, and some very mini-croutons aka crunch. Both rolls are delish, each containing their own unique flavor and texture. They also have a wide variety of sake, beer and wine to maybe throughly pump up your bill. Luckily even as of 9/25, their prices are still pretty reasonable, compared to others in KC

It's been a while since I've been back, and I forgot how much I truly enjoy this place! The wait was a little long, but definitely worth it. The service is consistently great, the sushi is some of the best in the area, the prices are very reasonable--and they have the best spicy crab salad too!

Ahí tuna roll
Brittney H.

This is my top spot for sushi in the KC area. If you're going for quality, this is it. My favorite role is the Ahi tuna roll. It never fails me. I've been going here for so many years, I'm really grateful because one year the manager Gave me a gift for Christmas. I really feel at home here. It has that hole in the wall Asian restaurant vibe. It's great if you live near Lenexa. I often catch myself getting this after the gym if I'm too lazy to cook.

Awesome place to get some sashimi and sushi. Add this place to your list of your favorites now. The fresh cut of fish are reasonable big for the price and worth it. Can't go wrong with the platter so you can get a bit of everything. It's good to share with your love one so you can experience the delicious together. Love coming here and oh the salads here are good as well too. Can't go wrong with anything here. Will come back.

Yum!

The lunch special can be pretty darned good! Finding a parking spot and a table is not easy 11:30-12:30, but wait until 12:45 and the place opens up again. The service is extremely fast and attentive. I have eaten there about five times and it was always a good experience.

Dragon Roll
Aaron S.

Outstanding sushi! We went here with some friends off of their recommendation (their favorite sushi in KC) and it certainly lived up to expectations. Their menu is quite robust in terms of sushi options but they also have delicious soups, salads, and appetizers. I enjoyed the gyoza but my favorite was the stuffed mushrooms. Great flavor. I highly enjoyed the dragon roll as it was perfect for my preferences. We all left full and happy. The service was quite good. Make sure you have a good amount of time, however. We went at 6:00p on a Monday and it was a 20-30 minute wait. We were not bothered by this but I just want to give prospective diners a heads up.

See all

Tucked away in a small corner of Lenexa, Monkey King Chinese BBQ & Noodle Restaurant feels like one…read moreof the most authentic Chinese spots in the Kansas City metro area. Their menu consists of a lot of dishes, and some are quite unique .. you don't usually see items like bird's nest dishes at most Chinese restaurants around here except for maybe Bolings. Me and my husband visited on a Saturday night around 8 pm and really devoured our meal. The menu can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but you honestly can't go wrong with stir fries at any Chinese restaurant. For appetizers, we ordered chicken egg rolls, which were hefty and filling. For the main course, I ordered the chicken in black bean stir fry, and my husband got the shrimp Kung Pao chicken stir fry. We paired both with steamed rice. The black bean chicken was rich and earthy, with that deep, slightly funky flavor from the fermented black beans. It was very umami, salty and complimented nicely with the fresh, crisp vegetables and well-cooked chicken. I really liked it. The shrimp Kung Pao was spicy and tangy, with perfectly cooked shrimp (the fried shrimp covering was chefs kiss) and crispy veggies. Overall, we really enjoyed the food. The egg rolls were about $4 for two pieces, and the stir fries were around $17+ each. The portions are quite large compared to other places in the area, so the pricing seemed reasonable. For 2 main course dishes your bill could easily reach up to $40. Otherwise, The restaurant was clean, the staff was kind, and service was quick. It also wasn't too crowded when we visited. I would rate the service 4/5, mainly because we had to ask for silverware, condiments, and tissues separately. The food, though, is definitely a 5/5. Highly recommended! I will definitely return to have more dishes like beef chow fun, the soups and last, but not least BIRDS NEST!!

I usually come here for dim sum, and it is upsetting for me to say that my husband and I should've chose somewhere else to eat for dinner. For dinner, we ordered fried rice and chow fun. Those two main entrées were okay. You can't really mess up those two fillers at an Asian restaurant. We ordered scallion pancakes- they came out soggy and soft. Not even crispy like how they usually are. The flavor wasn't there either. If I wanted microwaved scallion pancakes, then I would've bought them from the store and made them myself. My husband ordered the short ribs- they were bland and tough like rubber. It had a funky taste to it that he couldn't describe and he had to force himself to swallow it because he didn't want food to go to waste. I ordered the chicken feet- this is one of dim sum's signature dishes and I am so upset I didn't even get to enjoy one of the dishes I always order. It was dry and the flavor wasn't there. The service was fantastic. They checked in on us and made sure our water was filled. The timing of the food coming in and out was fine. The ambiance was inviting. There was a sense of urgency and I appreciated that.

They have a…read moreton of offerings, whether you like vegetarian/Californian only or seafood style, and their rolls are always artisanal and tight. Ordering is super easy via mobile/web and you can do delivery through services (some even with no fees!) or just traditional carryout. Dining in gives you a chance to order from a huge menu with Chinese & other Asian styles available. Traditional favorites like Sesame Chicken or General Tso's or some sashimi a'la carte are all over the menu. There is a lunch special of a chef's choice nigiri plus soup & crab Rangoon that runs less than $15 and is guaranteed to satisfy! Service is great and the dining space & ambiance are clean & comfortable. Flavors are outstanding, but as far as portion sizes go for Chinese style, you can get more for your money elsewhere. But the food meets the value, especially the sushi rolls, and from the time you order until the time you pick up, the turnaround time is fantastic, making it totally worth the visit.
