Went here on Saturday for dinner. The place was busy and there is a queue to get a table but there were a few chairs available by the bar. I ordered the Taiwanese beef noodles and KC Kao town cocktail. I also had the Dan Dan noodles and Karaage bao on another visit. I would recommend the beef noodles - the meat was tender and the broth had a slight sweetness but was delicious overall. The Karaage bao as well - the chicken complemented well with the spicy mayo and pickled cucumber. The Dan Dan noodles was not bad but, personally, I would have preferred wheat-based noodles to be used instead. Service was excellent and I would come back for sure to try their other dishes.

Got a little bit of everything with some friends and had the best time! Everything tasted so good and the staff was great! Can't wait to go back.

Very loud and they sat everyone side by side by side when the other room was empty.

Had a wonderful evening, highlights were wood mushroom soy and the curry meat dumplings.

The food definitely was a bit of a disappointment. Everything we had felt like it just missed the mark. We had the Taiwanese fried chicken, it felt a bit dry and the sauce for it didn’t seem to pair well. The Baos (pork and tofu) were just okay. Nothing special or bad about it. We had the beef scallion pancakes, the beef was fatty and delicious. But the pancakes were not very flaky and crispy, it felt denser than typical. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was a bit salty, although the noodle and beef slices were good. The XLB were served warm (the soup wasn’t hot) and the broth was also a bit salty. It also came in a serving size of 3, so it was a bit pricey. The pork and rice dish was fine, again nothing special but not bad. Overall, I was disappointed in the food quality especially for the prices they ask for. I’m glad I tried it but I won’t be returning.

Enjoyed the shrimp bao. The crispy rice seafood dish was very salty.

So good. So good. A must

I’ve heard great things about Chewology, so when my Dad was in town we stopped by on a Sunday evening around 5pm to see if we could grab a table for 3. When we walked in, no one greeted us for around 10 minutes, we just awkwardly stood there as the host didn’t respond to my “hello”.
At one point, another server walked up and asked if we were walk-ins, to which we answered yes. She visibly rolled her eyes and groaned. She and the host still did not greet us.
After around 15 minutes total, they said hello and told us they wouldn’t have a table ready for 20-30 minutes. We ended up leaving.

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to for Chewology.
Seriously some of the best food I've ever had in KC, but the service (outside of the host) really couldn't have been worse. And I normally don't use those words lightly!
Our meal for 2 people took almost two hours, as our waiter showed us little to no attention. We sat down and were not approached by our waiter for 20 minutes; that is not a guess, as I was watching the clock to see how long it took. We ordered drinks, and those took another 10-15 minutes to arrive.
We then had to grab a different server in order to put in our food order (as well as our checks). Our waters also sat empty for most of the meal. I haven't ever seen this level of service for any other, similarly-priced restaurant around town.
Again, the food was out of this world, and we tried quite a few items. The Dan Dan noodles, dressed eggs, smacked cucumbers, and fried chicken were insane. However, I am hesitant to return as the service was that poor. I'm sure I'll come around to it, as the food is that damn good! I just hope that a few of these things are ironed out, as I really want this place to cement itself as one of the best all-around restaurants in KC. Good luck!
We shared Vegan dumplings, Dan Dan noodles and taiwanese chicken. Food was good. Service excellent.

The atmosphere was really amazing, such a unique gem in Kansas City. Service was great, everyone was really friendly and attentive. Yet I felt that the food we received was just overall not very good. In both dishes we ordered the meat quality was poor and chewy, and the rice was hard.
I probably won’t come back, but I do think everyone should at least come and try some of the appetizers and dumplings.

I recently visited with my dad for the first time and we had such a nice time! Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, and we were seated right next to the kitchen, so it was super fun to watch everything being made.
I'm vegan and my dad is an omnivore, but we both had lots of options (which was highly appreciated since that's often a rarity for me). We really enjoyed all of our dishes - my personal favorite was the smacked cucumber. Yum!
Since I was there for my birthday, I also got a free mochidoki :) We'd be happy to return!
