“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..“

“Maybe KC's first Michelin star? Probably too soon to say, but this is a dining experience like nothing else local. Every single item was perfection, and purposeful, and delicious. Beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service too. The owner makes a point to visit every table and he seems like a really great guy (and certainly a stellar chef and restauranteur). My favorite thing was probably the chicken wings. Nothing pedestrian about them. I also loved the yuzu sake.“

“I have been going here for lunch for some months now and I absolutely love it. The food always has good flavor and to contradict the other comment of price; if you want cheap ramen go to the dollar tree because this is good quality ramen and food and I do not mind paying for that. The person who takes my order now remembers me and my order i appreciate her friendly greeting each time. I recommend this place to everyone.“

“Amazing!! A lot of sushi restaurants have gone down hill in the past couple years and while I get why, rising prices making it hard for restaurants to stay afloat, it doesn’t make for good sushi. The quality of the fish is often not great and the amount served compared to the rice makes it seem like a total waste of money. I hadn’t been to Friends in a couple years, moved further a way and kind of forgot about it but this is my second time in the past couple weeks and it’s sooo good. Fish quality a 5, fish quantity a 5 and service a 5. Definitely my go to sushi place now ❤️“

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

“Honestly, not even a bad thing I could say. The food is always in point. The staff and service provided is beyond great. Even the very few times I've had to wait, cannot express how much the value of both outweigh the time spent waiting! Try the cocktails, bc they're super tasty!!!“

“This restaurant was always good with food or sushi. It was sitting around the chef so best to go with others and not alone at this establishment. The food is good, as is the service. Is a traditional Japanese menu which they grill at your table. It is pricey so plan accordingly.“

“The hibachi was very very good. I went with the chicken with fried rice and was not disappointed at all. It was a lot of food too, easily had a meal the next day. I also had the volcano roll which was equally excellent. I will be back!!

Vegetarian options: There were several options

“They make the best Kung Pao Chicken. It is always good with just the right amount of spice.“
