While that's a fun experience, this meal really showed me how amazing Korean food can be when prepared traditionally. Shoutout to the staff as well. I don't quite remember her name, but she was incredibly helpful -- from explaining the menu items to giving great recommendations. I was genuinely impressed by the service. I ended up ordering the beef and crab kimbap along with an order of galbi, and both were fantastic. The kimbap tasted incredibly fresh, and the galbi was perfectly charred with just the right amount of sweetness. I really enjoyed every bite. The wait time for the food was a little long, but it was absolutely worth it. Definitely recommend!

Everything we tried on the menu was great - so great that we ordered seconds of some of the appetizers! We got TWO orders of the chorizo rangoons, some cheesesteak eggrolls, birria dumplings, and the elote. All fantastic. For dinner we had a hot honey chicken sandwich, the smash dat muni (smash burger), and tri Thai tacos. The hot honey chicken sandwich was easily big enough to feed two people - it had two huge chicken breast patties on it, and it was delicious. The smash burgers and tacos were both amazing too. Seriously, everything we had was top notch. Service was also great, and the vibe of the restaurant was nice. 100/10 highly recommend. Stop reading and go there. You can thank me later!

The employee seemed a little flustered at 5 people suddenly in queue, but was quick and polite. Our orders were taken quickly, and another employee came out to help. Those who ordered the burritos rated them 2- 4 out of 5, and 1- 5 out of 5 rating. For the poke bowl; it was amazing! The rice was fresh & warm, the amount of salmon & tuna was generous, and the seaweed salad was a perfect touch. While we were waiting for our food, 3 separate doordash orders came thru; the dining area only had one other table occupied, but it seems like this place may be a popular takeout spot.

I've came to this restaurant with high expectations after my friend recommended me…read more My feelings went to the floor... The service was attentive and the lady was very courteous and polite. The problem is the food, the flat rice noodle plate was bland and the massaman curry ingredients used were awful... I couldn't even eat the chicken because it was hard like rubber and the potatoes looked like they were there 4 days... I really think the curry was fresh but they've used old ingredients. (as you can see in the photo) The only good thing was the lettuce wrap, even thought the lettuce wasn't cut properly for the dish as you can see in the photo. When I've talked to the lady host/waitress she didn't care at all, put a funny face. Of course, to charge... They charged me complete bill even thought she noticed that I didn't eat the chicken or the potatoes from the massaman curry. I'm sorry but this was my first and last time in this restaurant.

I ordered the spicy kani salad and the daikon maki. The daikon maki was incredibly refreshing in this summer heat and I absolutely enjoyed all the fresh flavors. The fresh fish paired so well with that radish paper and yuzu sauce, I could have 2 orders of this minimum! The kani salad wasn't spicy at all, so I added on some soy sauce mixed with wasabi and it really added some extra kick and flavor. My favorite part was the pineapple bits in the salad for that delicious sweet and savory flavor. I will absolutely be back for the same order and more!

Very little customer service interaction compare to the previous ownership. But the biggest thing here is the food is never refill at a timely manner. There are more empty food tray than there is food for customer. And when they do refill it up, it's very little portion. And they are selective with what they are refilling instead of refill all the empty tray. They are making us paid full dinner price but no food for us to enjoy. I hope management see this and resolve this because this place has so much potential.

The variety is impressive, ranging from traditional Chinese dishes and soups to sushi and hibachi. By far the best value is the choose-your-own hibachi-style buffet.

Everything comes out fresh, flavorful, and made exactly the way you like it--very tasty! The restaurant itself is clean, well organized, and run by attentive, friendly staff who make the experience even better. This is definitely a place I would happily return to.

The ambience: vibrant, artful murals sprawling the walls with homage paid to Kansas City. The space is clean and modern. Intimate seating. If you are wanting a spacious and slow experience, come in during the lunch hour. A special nod at whoever controls the playlist - there's some good music in here too! The drinks: there's such a good selection of sake, cocktails, AND beer. I've eaten at several Asian/Japanese restaurants: Kata Nori boasts a CURATED drink menu. The food: the hand rolls are the show stopper here, crudos come in close second. The hand rolls are FRESH and the fish here is so clean. Specialty fish flown in from Japan. My favorite thing about the food (which flows into my service bit) - is that you can really get some personalization done on your food. Special shout outs to Jacob, John, and Zach. But Zach, overall, was really incredible with his knowledge of the menu. He was the one making my hand rolls today and he gave very polite recommendations for plates and rolls. He was extremely knowledgeable about what was on the menu and ended up showing me something new (and probably my new favorite roll!) you can tell he's very passionate about his job and really takes pride in his work. Overall, the experience was 12/10. There's a few new "stand out" Japanese restaurants around, but it should be notably mentioned that Kata Nori was truly the first of its kind here. Come see what they're rollin' up over here!
