One of my favorite places to eat at in kansas city.
The spare ribs and chicken gyoza were amazing !
I really love this little restaurant. The food is good and it's like eating in a tiny slice of Japan. It's a small little shop, and be careful to check times before you go as they do close in the middle of the day.
