42 Best Seafood Restaurants near Lenexa

“We’re visiting from out of state and always like to try a good Mexican place. Loved it. Great food and great service. Would definitely come back !!!!! Muy bueno!!“

“Nice place, good food, and great service but the light fun atmosphere just tanked when the manager walked by. Not what you want to see on a Saturday night at this price point! It was actually awkward to experience the way the manager treated the employees. He literally yelled across the room at the bartender for no identifiable reason. Sometimes it’s watching the way someone treats others that ruins a nice time more than anything. It really is a nice place with good food and great service hopefully this part of the place can change. Appears mine isn’t the first review that involves the manager so hopefully they will fix this issue.“

“My wife and I celebrated our 54th anniversary tonight at Eddie V’s. The food was terrific and our waiter Eric Ewing took awesome care of us. He guided us through the menu selections and counseled us on our selections. The manager Adam Von Spreecken checked on us often to make sure our dinning experience was spectacular. My wife and I can’t wait to return for another fabulous dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Just left a review for Mariscos KC — and it’s well deserved. As someone who has personally serviced their kitchen equipment, I can honestly say both locations keep an extremely clean and professional back of the house. Their kitchens are spotless, organized, and very well maintained, which says a lot about how much they care about quality and their customers. The staff is always friendly, respectful, and welcoming every time I’ve been there. You can tell they take pride in both their food and customer service. If you’re looking for great seafood in Kansas, this is definitely the place to visit. Great people, great atmosphere, and great food. Highly recommend supporting this local business!“

“The BEST Asian restaurant in the Northland! The food is absolutely amazing—every dish we’ve tried has been outstanding. The sushi is fresh and delicious, and the attention to detail is top-notch. You have to try the crab wontons—they’re a must! We just had the Tokyo crispy chicken, and it was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Honestly, I haven’t had a single thing here that I didn’t love. Chris, the owner, always greets us with a warm smile, and he and his staff make you feel truly welcome every time. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and such a friendly atmosphere—Saki is hands down our favorite spot!“

“Best Seafood boils in KC!!!“

“The Cod Imperial is one of the best dishes they have. I order this every time we come. Absolutely Delicious“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“Outstanding service from our waiter, Chris! (a solid "Hardy" doppelganger). From the check-in desk to the lively bar. Great service and people that seem to love their jobs made our experience memorable celebrating birthdays & an anniversary. Food was excellent and the 10-layer carrot cake knocked it out of the park. Needless to say, we will back! Coming in from Wisconsin and ending our trip at Ocean Prime made the weekend!“

“I always have a wonderful time here! The food is amazing and the servers are really polite!“

“Cameron our waiter was amazing. Everything exceeded our expectations.“

“The food is ALWAYS GOOD. I was in the area and wanted to make sure I was going. The waitress was excellent and exceptional. The cashier said she was new and training. She was outstanding. I'm sorry I didn't get her name, but she was nice and young and friendly. The dining experience was good. My total tab was higher, as I got my favorites and told the waitress I was going to need boxes to take home. What I am saying I spent more, but I ordered everything I like. Liver and gizzards, onion rings, fried fish and of course the normal, coleslaw, bean soup and hush puppies. The best“

“Great place for read meat lovers and also see food“

“Absolutely Delicious! Accommodated our whole party of 10, the food and drinks were fabulous!“

“Pleasant wait staff. Food was delicious!“

“Great food and service. A“

“Service was ok. We ordered 3 appetizers, the first one came out then it took about 20 minutes for the other 2. When we were done, we had to ask for our table to be cleared in between courses. When I asked for lemons, a busser told me “where is your server?” I was disappointed by that statement considering I'm a paying customer and didn't know where the server was and that's why I asked him.“

“The best!!!! Destiny was the best waitress, she knows her stuff for sure and congratulations on getting married in 4 days. The food is AMAZING!!! I can’t recommend this place enough!! GO EAT THERE PEOPLE!!!!“

“Very cool dining and cocktails are superb!“

“Very cute decor.
Got the KC Burrito with carnitas & half fries, half rice and it was not only massive for being only $12 but also SUPER delicious with the salsa. Cheesecake chimi was fantastic and pretty large as well. Loved the less expensive option of a solo order for chips & dips. Great spot to stop and we will definitely be back!!“

“our server Ling was the best. the food was delicious with the right size portion. we will be going back“

“Love the food, atmosphere, and service. The last time I ordered a dish that was a bed of rice covered with chicken fajitas and smoother with queso cheese. It was to die for!!!“

“If i could give more than 5 stars I would! Our server, Stephen, was perfectly attentive and very personable. The prime rib was butter tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. Highly recommend J. Alexander's Restaurant for a great meal! Ask for Stephen!“

“I just celebrated my birthday last Sunday with all my friends. It was good food excellent service and good atmosphere! I highly recommend Yaya’s.“

“Welcomed when I walked in. Sat at the bar. Nicole B immediately greeted me and then brought water. A few moments to loom at the beer selection and she asked if I had decided. Yep! I asked for a minute to look at the menu. No longer than I set it down BOOM Nicole was on it asking what I was invested in. Food was excellent (salmon salad) service“

“My first time ever at Golden Ox. Steak was great and cooked as ordered. Sausage stuffed mushrooms were fantastic. Got a side of mashed potatoes, but received a hint to order as loaded because it’s not a menu item. Holy cow. The creamed spinach was alright, but I’d probably choose something else the next time I’m there. Overall, a great experience and birthday dinner.“

“This is by far the best Mexican food restaurant in south KC. Not a run of the mill TexMex location. Much more of a true Mexican food dining experience. They have a great menu with many options. Very nicely decorated. If you want an upscale Mexican food experience try it. Great margaritas too. Happy hour 2pm to 6pm. Free chips and salsa.“

“Went there for my daughter’s 30th birthday brought the fam including our 5 year old grandson so it was a total of 6 of us. Hadn’t been there before and didn’t know what to expect you have to seat yourself and get up to“

“Awesome employees and great prices“

“We’ve actually never dined in at this place either. It seen they are more often pick up and to go.

very lack of dine in, but its quite place, we had our food with to go too.

And in a way, that makes everything

I’m about to say feel even more genuine.

without the restaurant atmosphere adding to the experience, what remains is the food itself, and the people behind it.

From the very first pickup, you can feel that this is a place with real warmth.

The woman at the front often alongside her husband has this natural, easygoing energy that immediately puts you at ease.

She’s a good conversationalist too, and over time, she even remembers what you like to order

a small gesture, but it makes you feel recognized, seen. She doesn’t have to try to impress you; she simply makes you feel welcome.

Of course, there are busy moments when she and her husband are running around and might not greet you right away

and that’s completely understandable. It’s a small, family run place, not a polished chain.

But even in those moments, they always offer the best smiles.

If something is ever forgotten in your order, they don’t just let it slide; they communicate promptly, and sometimes even call to have it delivered to your home. You can feel that it’s done out of genuine care, not obligation.

The food carries the same kind of attention. It’s thoughtful, comforting, and consistent.

Nothing feels rushed or careless. Every dish is prepared with intention, and even on busy days, the quality remains steady.

It’s the kind of cooking that quietly earns your trust, and over time, that trust grows into appreciation.

I sometimes read reviews that label this place as “bad,” and I honestly can’t understand them. Some feel less like honest feedback and more like people arriving already frustrated, ready to criticize instead of noticing the effort and care. There’s a difference between pointing out issues and dismissing a good, hardworking restaurant outright.

This isn’t a restaurant trying to be flashy or trendy. It doesn’t pretend to be something it isn’t. It’s a small, family-run Chinese spot doing its best and doing it with sincerity, warmth, and consistency. Those qualities don’t always show up in pictures or quick judgments, but they matter more than anything once you experience them.

I will absolutely be coming back. Not because the place dazzles you, but because it makes you feel genuinely welcome, and the food quietly reminds you why it’s worth returning. That combination — care in the food and in the people is what makes a small restaurant unforgettable.“

“They are the best at Customer Service. They were kind enough to let me add onto a reservation when I was planning a birthday party. Great food and great service.“

“Friends took me out for my 91st birthday and I requested Paulo's. Been there many times for 45 years. Always order chicken Piccata. Had garlic bread which was excellent. My order came and There was about a full cup of mashed potatoes with a small chicken breast on it. About 2". Chicken was not very tender and I ate the lunch in about 5 bites. Cost $16. no veggies or salad. Gentleman came over and asked how everything was and I told him . Portion was so small. He was very nice and took my lunch price off the bill. I will be back one more time because I really always liked it there. Also had lunch at 2:30 and no one else there but 3 people at the bar. I hope there is some improvement in the portions of some memu items in the future.“

“Top notch personnel and an absolute great place to enjoy. Highly recommend!“

“The wild Boar and limoncello cake were amazing!“

“The butter chicken is delicious. There are a lot of options on the menu, even picky eaters will have options. The staff is also very kind and helpful! Can't wait to go back.“

“First time in this place today, and we love it. Foods were freshly cooked, and still very hot when they serve it. Neat and tidy little place .... offers everything, from catering to deliveries, and you can do it online or by phone. We will surely be back very soon.“
