“This was my first time trying Kata Nori and I loved it! It's very limited seating so definitely make a reservation. The staff was very helpful in explaining how everything works and making recommendations. The hand rolls were definitely my favorite - we tried most of them and really enjoyed. Will definitely be back!“

“I had the duck and a sake flight. It was delicious and the flight was super interesting. My husband had the salmon. The menu is more set up for sharing, but the 2 dishes we had were full servings. It's also farm table seating. Meaning long tables they sit multiple parties at.Service was wonderful. Atmosphere was stunning.Highly recommend reservations.We got the brownie dessert, this wasn't my favorite and really expensive for $15. The video is of the creme Brule (not the brownie)“

“We don't usually come around KC Downtown/Westport areas, but we had a chance to try some new food around here today. From outside, it doesn't look very fancy. From inside, it looks like a very standard sushi place. We walked in around 1:50pm, which they only had two other recommends occupied by then. Their kitchen was lightening FAST and the quality of the food is superior! Highly recommend the Cha Shu Noodle Soup, Eel Rolls, and Yang Sho Fried Rice!!!!! Wow, we will definitely be back soon when around this area again.“

“The sushi was very fresh tasted amazing I ordered a total of 3 rolls. The mango cha cha roll, the royals dragon roll and the baked salmon roll! It was amazing!! I also ordered the crab Rangoon and the chicken gyoza.i initially ordered the miso soup it was not for me but everything else was exceptional. I was seated with chopsticks but no utensils for my daughters as well as no straw. I also did have to search for a different server because mine was so busy. But other than the service the food was definitely up to par.“

“Hands down my favorite place to get sushi in KC! I've visited twice and both experiences were amazing. The owner is very attentive and truly made us feel welcomed. The first time we ate here, he was about to close but he lets us Dine in and even engaged in a conversation with us with Hot Sake on the house. A year later we went back and he let us try his special jalapeno sauce that he makes for his family. Not only did we have good food but we felt taken care of both times. I will defiantly return every time I get the chance to visit beautiful Kansas.“

“It's alright. Not great sushi but definitely not bad. A bit pricy for what it is, probably due to its central Brookside location. Sister restaurant to Jarocho which is a delicious Mexican style seafood restaurant. Wife is Japanese, husband is Mexican. The chirashi bowl was nice, lunch-only though.“

“This is my go-to place for sushi. There's also the fancy tables where they cook your meal in front of you and toss the shrimp into your mouth, and they're pretty good at it.The food is excellent. Crab salad for me, edamame for my wife, and we usually get 2 sushi rolls each. I don't even know if they have dessert here because I'm always full after the 2 sushi rolls.This is a Coca Cola place, not a Pepsi place.There is plenty of parking, but no dedicated motorcycle parking spaces.The restroom was clean. The tables were clean, and the floor was neither sticky nor slick.The staff is always quick, courteous, and friendly.They have a full bar if you need a cocktail. I didn't really take an inventory, but I did see a couple of bourbons there.I don't know for sure, but I think handicap accessibility may be a challenge.This is a good place for date night if you're on a budget. My bill for the food mentioned above with a couple of soft drinks on a Sunday at dinner time was just under 60 bucks. I ended up at a little over 70 after adding a tip.Also, for a Sunday evening at dinner time, there was no wait to get seated. Not sure how busy it is on a Friday or Saturday evening.“

“Loved it! The food is so good, the atmosphere is good and the people are nice. I love that the music videos they play. (Aged myself right there). The place is clean and comfy. The only thing I can complain about is how long we had to wait to get seated, not because there are no tables available, but because the staff is busy. But somehow I always come back for the Boru bowl.“

Everyone got noodles, rice veggies and the protein. Salad, soup.. never have I ever gotten my monies worth like I did at this place. Then we had a birthday and got Free cheese cake!!! First time there, and it won't be our last!!! Thank you. Our chef was fun too, tossing the shrimp in the air!“
