15 Best Sushi Bars near Gladstone

“One of my favorite sushi spots! The location is convenient, the staff are always friendly, and the food is wonderful! I live very nearby, so being able to walk to a nice restaurant without needing a vehicle is very nice. They also offer very reasonable and affordable prices on their menu, as well as some more expensive items for a bit more luxury if you so desire!

They have a lot of good options, and I never worry about the freshness of their fish. Although, my favorites are the Hokkaido roll and the Kyoto roll, usually with a small bottle of their green apple or white peach sake.

The atmosphere is lovely with their easy seating, colorful banners, and art decor. And they have a wonderful service as well.

This last time tonight when my girlfriend and I ordered, they also gave us an extra bottle of sake on the house! I was very touched by this.

Overall, I will continue to be a customer to this lovely little sushi spot! It's not in the biggest area, but please give it the love it deserves!“

“This place hands down. has the best of the best and the freshest food. #1 in kcmo kata nori for me is a number 1 pick..“

“Sushi Kodawari is a great omakase experience. The staff is professional and attentive to the guests. Getting to enjoy the freshly grated wasabi and a dozen pieces of imported nigiri is a treat. Lots of cool decorations are touches that give a true transportive experience like your in Japan. Would dine here again.

Thanks Karson and Beth!“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our sushi/hibachi dinner!“

“I found this place 2 years ago as a quick lunch with a friend who is pescatarian . We definitely found a gem because we’ve been coming here ever since. Their lunch specials are pretty reasonable and you get a lot of food. Brought my daughter for dinner tonight and she loved it. We recommend the caterpillar roll and the spider roll.“

“Always great!“

“I came in on a random night and was honestly completely blown away by the General Manager, Jan, who was on duty at the PNL location.

She was absolutely incredible. I’ve never in my life seen a manager be that personable, present, and accommodating especially in such a busy environment. I watched her jump between roles effortlessly helping staff, checking on guests, solving problems, and making sure everything ran smoothly. You could tell she truly cared, not just about the operation, but about the people in the room.

What stood out most was how she stayed so attentive and engaged even while the restaurant was packed. She took the time to connect with every table, made sure everyone felt taken care of, and handled everything with kindness and professionalism. That level of leadership is rare.

It’s obvious this place is run by someone who leads by example and genuinely takes pride in what they do. Experiences like this don’t happen often, and it’s the reason I’ll absolutely be back.

You’re truly the BEST, Jan!! Thank you! 🤍“

“By far the best sushi place in the Northland. I've eaten here for years and have never been disappointed with the food or service. The staff is very polite and courteous. After establishing myself as a repeat customer they began recognizing my number (when ordering over the phone) and remembering my favorite dishes. I wish them continued success and can't wait for my next visit.“

“Incredible sushi! The staff is so friendly. They definitely have a passion for the business. You need to stop here! If not- you are definitely missing out!“

“We took our family there for the first time tonight and we loved it. It was such a great experience. They were very nice and accommodating to our 2 toddlers and 9 year old. The food was amazing and that’s a lot coming from me because I do not like Chinese, Asian, Japanese food at all. I loved this food and the crab Rangoon are the best I’ve had. We are definitely going back!!“

“Just ordered on door dash and my food came quick!It was fresh, the steak and chicken was so tender, my fried rice was the best! not dry at all!. the sushi was soo good!! Love eating here“

“I wish they would thank their customers and not just our nice corporations But i do enjoy eating all the great food“

“Everything was excellent!“

“Drinks where great! I ordered a samurai and was very pleased with it. I'm not much the drinker however. What I am, is a enjoyer of shrimp. I ordered the Tokyo special that came with steak chicken and shrimp with fried rice and had a blast with it! The flavor was excellent! Can't wait to go back and have it again!“

“Food is very good. Area is clean. Could use a little outdoor improvement at the front of the building facing Noland RD to make it more appealing. Maybe some painting of bathroom stalls, etc. Other than that, recommended.“
