26 Best Japanese Restaurants near Kansas City

“The food was good for the most part. The dressing on the salad was more watery than I like but other than that it was good. They were fairly busy when we were there so we had to ask the waitress more than once for things but that's understandable“

“This place is fantastic!!! I’ve ordered here many many times and they never disappoint. Delicious food, generous portions, great prices with fast courteous service. I personally gravitate to their vegetable fried rice but I also enjoy many of their other menu items. They have some really great side order/appetizers too such as spring rolls, fries, etc. You cannot go wrong here, I highly recommend!!!“

“First time eating here and had a great experience. The food was incredible and the staff were so nice and accommodating. The manager, Lina was able to get us in even though we had a couple extra people than our initial reservation was for. Our server, Lexi did a phenomenal job recommending appetizers and rolls. We can’t wait to come back!“

“First time to Kata Nori Hand Roll Bar. It was spectacular. It was perfect. The food is exceptional. It’s some of the best sushi I’ve had. It’s also got a completely different spin than I am use to. The wasabi was like nothing I have tasted. The quality of the fish was prime. Even the Sake was the best I’ve ever had. The service couldn’t be better and the decor is quite lovely. I love the wood “ceiling “. Whatever you do don’t miss those mushrooms. You can eat very well here and not like sushi. I love sushi but you can bring the friend who doesn’t“

“After dozens of orders, Sushi Uni has firmly established itself as our go-to sushi spot in Lenexa. Our usual picks include the Ahi Tuna Roll, Snow White Roll, KC Chiefs Roll, Tiger Roll, Heat Wave Roll, and occasionally the Hulk Roll, with the Tiger Roll standing out as our absolute favorite. The sushi rolls are consistently delicious and are the main reason we keep coming back. However, there's one aspect that prevents us from giving Sushi Uni a perfect score: the side dishes (I give the sides a single star, and I was honestly thinking of giving the resteraunt as a whole 3 starts instead of 4 because of the sides). Initially, on our first ten times ordering from sushi uni, we would add Edamame, Gyoza, or egg/spring rolls to complement our sushi, but we've been consistently disappointed by all of these sides. As a result, we've stopped ordering them altogether, it's a waste of money. It will take them overhauling how they prepare all of the side dishes before we consider ever ordering them again. Despite this, I highly recommend Sushi Uni for their exquisite sushi rolls. They're definitely worth a visit on their own. Just skip the sides to ensure your not leaving disappointed.“

“The atmosphere catches your attention right as you come in. Very unique. The staff are really nice, smiling, well informed and attentive. The food is excellent. We had the CA roll which was nicely done. The tartare was very unique. Yummy but a little messy to wrap your own. The cod is one of the best I've ever eaten in KC. That alone will bring me back. We all shared the brownie, crispy outside, gooey in. Warm and yummy. Their wine list is paired very nicely with their menu. Lots of trendy restaurants in KC lately that are just so so, this one is a keeper.Parking: They have their own lot next to their building“

“Kome sushi has always ultra fresh and very tasty sushi. My partner and I get take-out from them every Friday night and always comment on the freshness. The owner is hard-working, nice, and cares about getting things right. Our orders are always exactly what we ordered, including special requests. This is the best sushi in The Northland if not all of KC.“

“Definitely a hidden gem. My wife and I go to the sushi bar regularly and it never disappoints. The service is great, the people behind the bar in the waiters and waitresses are very friendly. It looks like a smaller storefront, but there is a nice big area for seating, as well as the sushi bar and regular bar. Great atmosphere, and we highly recommend, I believe the oldest sushi restaurant in the city“

“We don't usually come around KC Downtown/Westport areas, but we had a chance to try some new food around here today. From outside, it doesn't look very fancy. From inside, it looks like a very standard sushi place. We walked in around 1:50pm, which they only had two other recommends occupied by then. Their kitchen was lightening FAST and the quality of the food is superior! Highly recommend the Cha Shu Noodle Soup, Eel Rolls, and Yang Sho Fried Rice!!!!! Wow, we will definitely be back soon when around this area again.“

“Hands down my favorite place to get sushi in KC! I've visited twice and both experiences were amazing. The owner is very attentive and truly made us feel welcomed. The first time we ate here, he was about to close but he lets us Dine in and even engaged in a conversation with us with Hot Sake on the house. A year later we went back and he let us try his special jalapeno sauce that he makes for his family. Not only did we have good food but we felt taken care of both times. I will defiantly return every time I get the chance to visit beautiful Kansas.“

“I thought it was a different Sake's that relocated until I did not see the blue crab roll on the menu. I decided to stay. Everything was prepared right and tasted really good. I dined solo and was able to watch the chef craft sushi rolls. The creek tea was hot and invigorating. The calamari was well seasoned and crisp. You should try it!!!“

“Very good. I love this place, The food was so good, Flavors exploded in my mouth! The service was so good, I was immediately sat and the Batman guy seemed so cool and he was so funny! Next, the ambiance was AMAZING! They were playing K-Pop, Michelle E. You are very wrong. I've been here for 5 years, Perfect, Amazing, Will come back, Batman guy, You are Amazing! My order was 2 Bagel Rolls, Crabrangoon, and a Dr. Pepper, Devoured! 5 stars to sushi mido,“

“The sushi was very fresh tasted amazing I ordered a total of 3 rolls. The mango cha cha roll, the royals dragon roll and the baked salmon roll! It was amazing!! I also ordered the crab Rangoon and the chicken gyoza.i initially ordered the miso soup it was not for me but everything else was exceptional. I was seated with chopsticks but no utensils for my daughters as well as no straw. I also did have to search for a different server because mine was so busy. But other than the service the food was definitely up to par.“

“It's alright. Not great sushi but definitely not bad. A bit pricy for what it is, probably due to its central Brookside location. Sister restaurant to Jarocho which is a delicious Mexican style seafood restaurant. Wife is Japanese, husband is Mexican. The chirashi bowl was nice, lunch-only though.“

“This is my go-to place for sushi. There's also the fancy tables where they cook your meal in front of you and toss the shrimp into your mouth, and they're pretty good at it.The food is excellent. Crab salad for me, edamame for my wife, and we usually get 2 sushi rolls each. I don't even know if they have dessert here because I'm always full after the 2 sushi rolls.This is a Coca Cola place, not a Pepsi place.There is plenty of parking, but no dedicated motorcycle parking spaces.The restroom was clean. The tables were clean, and the floor was neither sticky nor slick.The staff is always quick, courteous, and friendly.They have a full bar if you need a cocktail. I didn't really take an inventory, but I did see a couple of bourbons there.I don't know for sure, but I think handicap accessibility may be a challenge.This is a good place for date night if you're on a budget. My bill for the food mentioned above with a couple of soft drinks on a Sunday at dinner time was just under 60 bucks. I ended up at a little over 70 after adding a tip.Also, for a Sunday evening at dinner time, there was no wait to get seated. Not sure how busy it is on a Friday or Saturday evening.“

“I have been Bōru for several times, but this was my first time tried their Dandan noodle. I always like the Dandan noodle was made traditionally from China. I think the flavor was different but interesting. The flavor was different than the traditional ones, but was not bad, it's good to pair with the spicy oil sauce if you can eat spicy! I also found that the kid's menu was surprisingly great! Good choices and good price with free beverage and Ice cream! Great deal if you have a little one.“

“Lovely gentleman named Nathan took me to this place as a first meeting. This man is my bsf's boyfriend so this was a big deal. Overall food was great and the experience was a vibe. Had good conversation and so far has my blessing. 10/10 would try again.“

“I had the Tonkotsu Ramen and it was delicious! I was part of the clean bowl club! So many amazing options to choose from, I look forward to future visits! Love the Strang Hall concept, there is something for everyone, from standard fare to the adventurous.“

“This is the best ramen in KC, a little pricey but worth every penny! The lady who owns the place is always on top of it and super sweet.Drinks are either bottled water or cans of soda but you can also bring your own (non alcoholic) drink in!“

“The food selection here is varied and everything extremely delicious. The service is friendly. We consistently have wonderful meals at this restaurant. Our family's favorites are the sushi, the crab rangoons, hibachi and jalapeno chicken and the coconut shrimp.“

“The sushi is very fresh and is very delicious. If you like crab rangoon for appetizers, they're very filling and delicious as well. If you like sushi, you will not be disappointed with the Sushi Train. I've gone there for a few dinners since I've lived in Olathe and have never had a bad dinner.“

“It's a very peaceful and chill sushi house. The seating is unique as well as the atmosphere, and the service personnel are always patient and accommodating. The food is always delicious, I usually go for the Sunday morning specialty sushi, but I recently ordered the bulgogi, and it was so yummy!10/10??“

“Don't let the exterior of this restaurant fool you. On the inside it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! The food is very good. Reasonably priced and the portions are large. Definitely a great place to try. We will be back again and again! Highly recommend sesame chicken and the walnut shrimp!!!Parking: This is in the parking lot of the old Kmart store. Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Double door entrance“

“Great customer service every time, great atmosphere as well, the miso soup is amazing, as is all the sushi options. The only issue I have, and it's a small one I'd give them 4.75 out of 5 if I could, is that the fried rice is average at best a little below on “

“Little hole in the wall. But 4 of us with meals appetizers and drinks for 125. We all had doggie bags. Everyone got shrimp even if we didn't order it. Everyone got noodles, rice veggies and the protein. Salad, soup.. never have I ever gotten my monies worth like I did at this place. Then we had a birthday and got Free cheese cake!!! First time there, and it won't be our last!!! Thank you. Our chef was fun too, tossing the shrimp in the air!“

“Overall a really great experience.I spent ~$300 for 11 people to have hibachi dinner with drinks (wine and soda)The food was delicious and the portions were nice. It was brisk but not busy and so was disappointed the service was not on point.Vegetarian options: Solid vegetarian optionsParking: Easy and accessible parkingKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with a complete kids menu“
