First time there and the experience and food were amazing. We had the dressed eggs, Taiwanese fried chicken, Gua bao, Xiao Long Bao dumplings and Dan Dan Noodles!

Decided to give this place a try The service is amazing but the flavor and food v.s Price ration is terrible We saw the pricing and were expecting amazingness but we were severely let down. As a Taiwanese myself it’s the worse food I’ve ever taste We got the beef noodle soup, scallion pancake and guabao. The beef noodle is suppose to have different flavors profile giving a umami soup taste. This soup tastes like you dump a whole jar of soy sauce and that’s it. The meat has an off taste too like it wasn’t clean properly. The scallion pancake is lacking the main ingredient the scallion. Just dough and side dish. Will not come back and does not recommend. Take your money elsewhere. Look through and review and you’ll see almost all Taiwanese people give it a 1 star rating

🥢 Chewology – Modern Taiwanese Flavors in Kansas City
We decided to try Chewology, a modern Taiwanese restaurant, for a fun night out. The space was warm, inviting, and buzzing with conversation — the kind of place where you instantly know the chef is passionate about what’s on your plate.
✨ Fun fact: Chewology was founded by Chef Katie Liu-Sung, who brings her Taiwanese heritage to life through handmade noodles, street food favorites, and seasonal local ingredients. Her goal? To create a culinary “lab” (hence the name Chewology) where textures and flavors meet in creative ways.
We started with an Oolong Sling (light and floral) and a beer for balance 🍹🍺. To get the full experience, we went family style — sampling a bit of everything: 🥚 Dressed Egg, 🥗 Spring Greens & Yuba, 🍗 Taiwanese Fried Chicken (two sauces, extra charge), Gua Bao, 🍚 Lo-Bah-Png Pork Belly Fried Rice, and finally, the sweet Bao Bits for dessert.
While everything was good, there wasn’t one standout dish that wowed me. The fried rice was a bit soggy for my taste, though the flavors were still comforting. What did shine was the creativity behind the menu and the care in presentation — you can tell the dishes are thoughtfully made.
Pros 👍 • Inventive take on traditional Taiwanese street food • Great cocktails and modern atmosphere • Perfect for sharing — family-style dining encouraged
Cons 👎 • Can get pricey with sauce add-ons • Some dishes (like fried rice) could use texture improvements • No single “wow” dish this round
🎯 Pro Tip: Try the fried chicken and gua bao — they’re crowd favorites. Pair your meal with the Oolong Sling cocktail for a refreshing balance of citrus and tea.
Chewology is all about exploring flavors — and while not every dish hit the mark for me, the experience felt like a fun, modern twist on Taiwanese comfort food. Would I go again? Yes — with friends and an appetite for adventure. 🥢💛

Fantastic small plates! Taiwanese fried chicken is my repeat favorite! Service has always been great and responsive to fix something. It’s often a little on the noisy side but otherwise would say 5 star atmosphere as well!

Thai street food with a bit of a modernist twist. Everything by was thoughtfully created and plated. Just try their take on deviled eggs. Superb rendering with multiple textures and tastes. Staff was friendly ,knowledgeable and attentive

I had a very poor experience with the staff at Chewology. They kept saying they'd get back to me but kept dropping the ball.
My family's from Taiwan and I wanted to host a rehearsal dinner here. We contacted them in-person and they said they'd email us. They didn't. I called them several times, they said they'd get back to us each time - they never did.
Then a staff member, Tyler, finally wrote back and said they'd do the event for $6,000 (with absolutely no conception of size or menu) and please schedule a time to chat. Great. I follow up by email regularly for a month to get a time. Crickets.
I gave up on them after that. I guess some people just don't want money.
The wedding weekend, we ended up having a small group go there out of curiosity (I personally refused to go out of spite, so I can't speak to food/atmosphere). The servers spilled a drink on someone and there were other service-related shenanigans that convinced me it would've been risky to host a big event here anyway.

Weston was so nice and did an amazing job. We even forgot our sauce and he ran out enthusiastically to wave us down and get it to us.
The food is especially tremendous. We enjoyed an offering from each section on the menu and wish we could have ordered more, but we got full. We will be back soon.

Wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable service all around. The dining room was cozy and colorful and the cocktails were inspiring. We shared the giant soup dumpling special along with some bao samplings and a noodles dish. It's not too often you find dumplings of this quality. You can taste that everything was made with love.
Great place for some Taiwanese inspired foods. Felt no rush from servers, very relaxed place, good for catching up and long conversations. It was easy enough to find close street parking on a weekday and they had a small lot too. The food itself was flavorful and delicious. Drinks were creative and fun. Would def go back!

I LOVE THIS RESI! the food feels like a warm hug in your mouth, reasonable pricing, they just upgraded the xiao long bao to 4 rather than 3 which 100%!!! there is a spice they use in the crab rice (Szechuan peppercorn) that is mouth numbing and not my favorite, I do wish that was easier for me to tell what that's in, but all in all, so good!
