Thrilled to have sushi of this quality in KC. Logan took excellent care of us. We will definitely be back.

We had top notch service from Saranya. She was quick and super friendly. She was super sweet and we received amazing service. The food was awesome and this is probably my favorite sushi place now… coming from someone who didn’t really like sushi before now!

Very different for the KC area. Definitely a bit pricier, but you get what you pay for, all the way from the food to the experience.

If you enjoy food and the experience that can go with it like my wife and I do, worth a try at least once.

However, I was disappointed with the service. One of the young staff members, a girl with white-dyed hair, was speaking extremely loudly and her movements felt too aggressive for a dining setting. It made the atmosphere feel a bit chaotic.

Another waitress, with short hair, didn’t appear very clean and kept yawning throughout the time we were there. At one point, she was scratching herself repeatedly — it gave the impression that she hadn’t showered in a few days.

Good food deserves good service to match, and I hope management can improve staff training and hygiene standards.

This is hands down the best place for sushi in KC. I highly recommend reservations and if you see a fish collar on the menu you must get it. Pictured is the Salmon collar we devoured.

Super fun, smaller intimate setting. Food and rolls made in front of you - very fun place with amazing food and drinks!

Kata Nori is the go-to place for my wife and I to go on a date. The service is always incredible and they do a great job of blending the traditional handroll experience with a more modern sushi experience.

Fresh sushi in the Midwest?! Yes! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was some of the best I’ve had. Favorites were the spicy tuna roll and the blue crab roll. Also - the right hand side of the menu was tasty. We literally tried almost everything on that side and each bite was delicious.

Kata Nori provides a beautiful fresh culinary experience in front of you. This was my first time trying hand rolls. The staff were kind and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would love to try it again.

I thought Yellowtail in Ballagio was the best sushi experience I would ever have, I was wrong. Kata Nori is an unassuming masterpiece! The sushi chef hand rolls are without a doubt, the best sushi roll experience you will ever have. The warmed high quality seaweed wrap is so delicate, not only does it almost melt in your mouth, it is crisp to the bite with no rubbery palate. The experience was a journey down a path, that opened into an oasis. You will not be disappointed.

Wow wow wow! Coming from dallas and houston, I eat at some the best sushi restaurants weekly. One of those restaurants is Uchi, but what is Uchi??? The food at Kata Nori is so amazing , had the best flavor profile, just can’t get over how good it was! I got the kinoko, hamachi crudo, and 3 handrolls (spicy tuna, hamachi, A5), which is definitely a lot for 1 person but so worth it.

Lynell was so sweet and provided great service, as did everyone else. I seriously can’t wait to come back to KC and eat here again. Or please come to Texas
