This is the best sushi joint in Kansas City. I’ve lived here for 15 years and Sam’s express never disappoints. Great food and great staff.

Honestly, this is one of the only bastions of eating out left. I feel like I can get a good serious meal and not pay a million dollars for it. It's fair and I leave the restaurant feeling happy and not like I overpaid for nothing.

We have been here three times the past 2 months. We have made plenty of rounds around town at different sushi joints. Sushi mido, sushi uni, blue sushi, ra sushi, oishi sushi etc. But Sam’s has hands down been the freshest and most affordable sushi we have found. The waitress we have had has always been super friendly and very kind to our children. Our kids like straight nigiri tuna, and when we told her she got them the same amount, but just sliced a little thinner so it was easier for them to handle with chopsticks. Be prepared that they do not serve fountain drinks, but everything is canned or bottled. No free tap water, this doesn’t bother us at all because prices are affordable. Their lunch special is a must try. My husband got the lunch special with the eel + avocado (their eel is like butter, it’s amazing) and tuna + avocado, while I got the sexy tuna and crazy ninja roll. My husband’s favorite after 3 visits is now the crazy ninja roll and mine is definitely the sexy tuna roll. They served us miso soup at no charge and honestly I don’t usually like miso soup but theirs is tasty and it seems homemade and not packaged. They include seaweed as well, which is a major plus. Most places just give you a couple green onions without any tofu, or seaweed. It’s definitely a hidden gem in OP and always clean inside. People love to get to-go orders, that’s mostly what we see but service is great if you want to sit down. Skip other places in town and give this one a shot.

Good was disappointing. Sushi was cold like it was stored in the fridge with little rice. Hibachi and jalapeño poppers were not hot.
I have been there at least 10 times this month, I am addicted now. I will say Sushi is fresh and really really good price, they even craft my plate with nice presentation. trust me , it is a steal .

Don't believe the fake reviews, this place is awful. I've tried it 3 times.
First off, the food is just terrible. How can you be a sushi place and have awful rice; the basic white rice is hard and dried out?
The atmosphere? Stinky, rotten and sticky.
Oh and the service? They will try and scam you when you go at lunch. They will show you a lunch menu and then ring you up for dinner versions that are significantly more expensive.

Got large takeout order from this place and they got everything correct and included sauces for the whole family. The sushi and crab rangoons were both top notch. Will definitely be going back
