“Our party of 7 went tonight to celebrate the youngest kiddo turning 19. We were promptly greeted upon walking in and the hostess was very polite. Our server greeted us and handed us menus as we sat down. He was full of smiles and very polite. He had his hands full as we kept asking questions and ordering drinks and appetizers. He did it all with courtesy and again, lots of smiles. Our cook was incredible. He didn't like talking much but he always had a smile on his face and told our daughter Happy Birthday. They came out with a drum and sang to her and everyone clapped and wished her a Happy Birthday. What an incredible experience!! We will def be back! OH!!! Several sushi rolls were ordered as well and ALL of the food was delicious. 0 complaints!! Thank you all for making our daughter's birthday dinner a hit!!!!“

“I've been out here in Kansas City for about 6 years now. Sadly, 5 of those years I didn't know about Jun's.

Jun's is inviting, friendly, and consistent. The sushi chefs are so good at what they do.

My favorite thing is sitting down at the sushi bar with one of the chefs I've gotten to know and telling him approximately what my budget is for the night and letting him do his thing. It's always amazing.

If you're a sushi fan and you've felt that KC might not be a place for good sushi, try Jun's. If you're like me and always on the hunt for good spots. This is a bullseye.

“Not super familiar with the world of ramen, but this place was a good lil’ introduction! Murals inside and outside gave it some fun character. Most of the tables would accommodate parties of 1-4. The pork tonkatsu was spicy and delicious, left no crumbs, and hope to return to try out more of the menu!

As a few patrons mentioned there were some weird quirks. Examples: There is no self serve station for condiments, cutlery, etc. It recommends BYOD or offers a small selection. You can easily miss the entrance to their parking lot and have to round the block. The front door was locked even though the establishment was open, etc.“

“This place is stunning. The service is amazing but the FOOD oh man! There’s no words to describe the food!
More than that. We have an allergy and when we go (which has been several times) the staff doesn’t come to tell you what you can’t have but instead the chef will take the challenge or modifying the dish just to accommodate said allergy! You want to know who else does that? Nobody!! And man oh man is he a tremendous chef!
One of a kind experience“

“Amazing!! A lot of sushi restaurants have gone down hill in the past couple years and while I get why, rising prices making it hard for restaurants to stay afloat, it doesn’t make for good sushi. The quality of the fish is often not great and the amount served compared to the rice makes it seem like a total waste of money. I hadn’t been to Friends in a couple years, moved further a way and kind of forgot about it but this is my second time in the past couple weeks and it’s sooo good. Fish quality a 5, fish quantity a 5 and service a 5. Definitely my go to sushi place now ❤️“

“I am straight up addicted to foods from the Orient and have tried most buffets in the KC metro. One can generally rate how the entire buffet will be by the quality of the sushi and pot stickers/dumplings. They were both on point here as was the rest of the buffet. Great selection and quality. I personally find this one to be an extremely close second place to my #1 Joy Wok. If you like the ginger sauce that accompanies the dumplings and you like sushi 🍣, try dipping your sushi in the ginger sauce with a dab of wasabi. Delicious! Great Buffet with great service!!“
