14 Best Japanese Restaurants near Parkville

“I’ve been on a search for consistently good sushi in the northland and this is easily the best place I’ve been! Great prices, the specialty rolls come with 8-12 pieces and great service. My husband got the steak teriyaki and it was very tender and delicious. This will be the spot we keep coming back to for sure!“

“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.“

“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..“

“Went in for my first date with my boyfriend. Got the caterpillar roll, godzilla roll, some nigiri, crab rangoon, dumplings, and miso soup. Amazing food with a clean environment and friendly staff! They even provided complimentary sake and dessert since we had ordered the ice cream mochi and some hot sake. 10/10 will be back to smash more food and make more fun memories! ❤️“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at akoya Omakase, and it was one of those rare restaurant experiences that reminds you how special thoughtful hospitality and craftsmanship can be.

From the moment the meal began, it was clear that every dish was created with intention. The level of detail and care that goes into each course is remarkable—every bite felt deliberate, balanced, and beautifully composed. You can truly see and taste the thoughtfulness behind the menu, from the way ingredients are paired to the precision in preparation and presentation.

What stood out most to me was how much pride the team takes in their work. The experience feels personal rather than transactional, and that level of care is something you don’t encounter everywhere.

Akoya Omakase isn’t just serving sushi; they’re creating an experience built on respect for ingredients, technique, and guests. It’s the kind of place where passion is obvious in every course.

I’m incredibly excited to see what the future holds for them. If the dedication and creativity I experienced are any indication, I have no doubt they’ll continue to grow and thrive. Restaurants like this deserve success, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.“

“What a great discovery! This is real Japanese food that is not sushi. It has that authentic Tokyo vibe and it is 100% delicious. I can't wait to return and try more of the food. The only improvement I can think of is the option for some sort of hot drink like Japanese style tea or coffee. Can't wait to return!“

“Kenny, our server was so awesome. He honestly made the experience along with the other teammates as well who brought out our food! When I walked in, even the host knew who I was with already, which made me feel very warm!!! I'm so glad I had my birthday experience here and I would recommend others going as well. The crab apple sushi roll was so good and I loved the sake cocktail along with the margarita cocktail. The scallops were phenomenal as well overall I enjoyed my whole experience 10 out of 10 and I will be back!!!!“

“Very good Bento Box. Like honestly I was very impressed by the food. It smelled a bit fishy in there, but of course it is a sushi place. Oh and that little candy thing they give at the end of the meal that's no bigger than a pill is my new favorite hard candy and the entire trip is worth it just for that tiny little piece of heaven.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“First time here, good quality foods and large portions for fairly low dollars. We will return.“

“Fantastic food. Very fresh. We went for an early dinner and there was no wait. Robot cat is super cute. I cant wait to go back“

“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!!“
