I needed a break from holiday food so I decided to stop by for some takeout. I ordered online…read morewithout issue and headed that way. It took them a little longer than I was quoted but it wasn't too much longer. The interior was very small with a capacity of 10. They do have a table but that's pretty much it. I would plan on taking it to go just due to space. Everyone was friendly and they made sure my order was correct when it was completed. I went with the beef and broccoli dinner combo. You get either white or fried rice. I went with fried. And it comes with an egg roll and a crab Rangoon. The crab Rangoon was large and had a sweet flavor to it. FYI: They use imitation crab for my friends with shellfish allergies. I also ordered an additional order of Rangoon and I wasn't disappointed with that decision. I think the egg roll was just a veggie one, they do have a pork and chicken option. It was fine but I preferred the Rangoon. I would try the other egg roll options in the future. I also added on a hot mustard sauce. That's a must. It's spicy. The beef and broccoli was really good. The broccoli was fresh and there were a few carrots. The beef was tender and without that weird fatty, gristly stuff. Definitely good quality. The fried rice was a bit plain. It's literally just fried rice, no veggies or egg. But it's also not at an up charge so I can't really complain. I also ordered egg drop soup. It's delicious and such a good value. I highly recommend it. I definitely plan on returning to try a few other menu options.

This is what I've been searching for, seriously. I'm writing this review on Christmas night--and I…read morecelebrate Christmas. First time we've tried this place. Grew up in a different burb of KC and have been struggling to find the nostalgic Chinese food I grew up on. Well, China Chef nailed it. I can finally settle in as a Johnson county gal (my Jackson county bones cringe only slightly). We went safe. Egg drop soup, rangoons, beef and chicken fried rice. Ordered online at 545 and the site told me it would be ready by 745. Should've been a sign that they were moving some VOLUME. Get there at 8. Wasn't going to be ready til 820. What appeared to be the whole family was slinging deliciousness the whole wait. Lobby full of patrons. Notice the 5 star review despite the delay. I assume this is a Christmas night fluke. Portions are more than generous, real chicken (not the weird cheap rubbery stuff), umami on point. Excited to come back for a regular week night and branch out on our ordering!

Had the seafood congee with crab, shrimp and scallops. It was excellent for a cold day…read more The wontons were fresh and delicious. The pork with noodles was was a pleasant surprise, and when it came out, I thought it almost was like a stroganoff. The pickled cucumbers were an interesting delight that gave it a little saltines to its sweetness. The service was excellent and I was surprised at how few people were there for lunchtime on a Saturday. FYI, they don't take reservations for parties less than six The special dessert for the day was the cream cheese wontons, which were very delightful and like most Asian restaurants not very sweet, but a yummy accordingly, and they were served with a side of mango almost like a chutney.. We split the tea and selection is excellent. I hadn't had Boba in a while so that was fun to chew on.. it's just a party in your mouth The ambience is simple but for an area like this, it's very appropriate.

We visited this restaurant after a couple of years things have changed. There is change in the…read moremenu. There are specials that we haven't seen in the past more than anything. The ambience of this place never changed. It is a very good spot in between the town center of Leawood, which makes it very blissful place to go take a walk and they're amazing restaurants within this plaza area. It was a beautiful sunny day. I have to go with my family and a newborn we ordered chili wonton steamed with shrimp, fried tofu with awesome sauce, scallion pancake, rice noodles with extra spicy duck and black bean sauce with tofu. To be very honest with you, I felt that the scallion pancake and the black bean tofu was salty, but the team was very courteous and understanding when I gave them a feedback. They did receive it very positively and asked me if I want to change it, but then I did not since I didn't have time the service was outstanding. They were very nice people. It's a family owned restaurant and we would always go back there because I know sometimes the sauces doesn't fit in the right way.

Had a little issue with communication, partly because as I was trying to tell the man at the front my name, the lady in the way back of the kitchen kept yelling up asking questions, etc. He started out by handing me this HUGE order, then when I told him again who I was, he went back and got my tiny order. Lucky I'm not a fast runner (and I'm honest) or I would have made a get away with someone else's huge order. ;) I had Sesame Chicken that came with fried rice and a couple crab Rangoon. The Sesame Chicken was marked as spicy and it was a little spicier than some, but still quite good. I would have liked a couple more pieces of broccoli, but not a big deal. The crab Rangoon wasn't the best I've ever had, the wontons were a little cakey or thick for my taste and the filling was a bit bland, but still not bad. It's a convenient location for me and the prices weren't too bad. It's definitely probably going to be in my top choices for super-closeby options when I'm craving Chinese carryout.

They are friendly and the food is amazing. We always start off with the Kun Pun chicken as an appetizer and then the Pad Thai with beef and shrimp.

I tried Ika Grill for the first time with my friend today. We were celebrating her birthday…read more We arrived a little before 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy. While we didn't have to wait for a table, almost all of them were full when we arrived. Ika is a smaller space in a strip mall off of 119 in Leewood, so there's not a ton of seating but the restaurant went further back than where we sat so there's probably more room than I could see. The kitchen/sushi bar is right up front when you walk in and takes up a good amount of room toward the front but it's aesthetically pleasing. The decor was very nice and everything was clean. They have a big chalk board near the front door, on the wall with their specials. They have quite a few. The menu is very large and our server came over about 5 minutes after we were seated. We ordered some edamame but asked for some more time to look at the menu. When the edamame came out, we placed our order. We decided to both get a side salad with ginger dressing and share two of their special rolls. We got one of the specials off the board, the Hidden Dragon. It was really good and by far my favorite out of the 2 rolls we got. My friend also really liked this roll and thought it was the better of the two. The other roll we got was the Rainbow which is a California roll topped with various types of fish. Neither of us are big fans of salmon so we asked for it to be left off. I didn't really like this roll. I normally love tuna but I prefer it cut a bit thinner and I'm used to it almost having a butter texture where it melts in your mouth. I'm not sure what was going on but all of the tuna had a very strong flavor and yes, I'll say it was fishy. I realize some people like that but I don't. Maybe it was the Hamachi (yellowtail) but it was not for me. I tried 2 pieces and that was enough. My friend liked it better than me but definitely preferred the Hidden Dragon too. I would probably give them a 3.5 if that was an option because the Hidden Dragon roll was very good. The service was efficient and quick. Not overly friendly. They never even acknowledged my friend's bday even though she was opening gifts and we sat a small birthday pop up paper cake card on the table. Not that we expected anything but maybe just a comment about her birthday. Maybe they were too rushed for anything extra. My disappointment in the tuna on the Rainbow roll is my reason for the lower rating. The rolls are $18 each so getting one I really couldn't eat is unfortunate. They also use the crab salad and not just a piece of crab in their rolls. I prefer the latter because I'm not too fond of all the extra mayo from the crab salad. I missed taking pics of our rolls! The Hidden Dragon looked fantastic and the Rainbow looked better than it tasted, lol. My friend still enjoyed her afternoon birthday lunch! I would possibly try them again to explore something else on the menu since there were so many options but I won't go out of my way to return.

There wasn't much of a wait for our food either. Now the food. I can't say the same. There was a kids menu but no kids juices so that was disappointing. I ordered the spicy beef fried rice, the beef did not taste fresh and gave my rice a weird taste. The vegetable fried rice was dry BUT had an enjoyable blend of vegetables. The vegetable Lo mein was not flavored BUT the vegetables were thoroughly cooked. The "Chinese" doughnuts were still a bit doughy inside BUT they were surprisingly still good and I'd say were my favorite for the night. Also to note, there wasn't any prices on the dine-in menu but included on the takeout menu which I thought was different because no one wants to be surprised with their bill. Overall, not a spot I'd be visiting again.

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.
