    Piece of chicken, spit it out to see this travesty
    Julie C.

    Upon my first bit I about broke my jaw on a giant piece of bone in the General Pso's chicken. Pretty pissed at this insane hazard. Had to dissect every piece from there on out.

    Got the General Taos chicken. Good portion size, pretty cheap. My new go to Chinese place.

    Fastest take out West of the Mississippi! Is this the best Chinese food in the city? Oh, heck no! But the food is pretty edible for fast food Chinese, the portions are huge, prices are great and the staff are nice. They also do delivery! A couple of minor annoyances: -For dine in customers, they serve the food on styrofoam plates. I see room for the use of more environmentally-friendly materials. -On their paper menu, they have a "skinny" section where they claim that dishes with shrimp and chicken are cholesterol free. Um, there are no cholesterol free critters on the earth. If you want cholesterol free, you have to go vegetarian. They do have plenty of veg options. Overall, though, I really like this place for what it does, because it serves a purpose and does it pretty darn well.

    The worst crab Rangoon I've ever had. At least it was cheap and ready fast! Unfortunately that's all I ordered.

Tucked away in a cute shopping district is Penny's! We had no idea what we were walking in to but I am so happy to have found it! As you walk up you are greated by colorful upside down umbrellas with flowers inside, the water feature and the outside dinning! If it wasn't so hot I would have demanded sitting on the patio! As we were promptly seated in started hearing a "tink tink" sound and looked up. Yall!! The cutest glass hummingbirds were hanging from the ceiling. It was stunning!! Ok, the food!!! I had the crab fried rice which my husband had to help me finish because it was a huge amount! Share if you can but with the understanding you might fight over the last bite. If you still have room after dinner get the butter cake! Ladies, it is worth the calories! The waiter was prompt and had us with drinks in no time! This is an absolute do again if we are ever in the area!

Mine with no peanuts with chicken and steak. Hubs had peanuts and chicken, steak, and shrimp. He also had a drink that looked like water but definitely wasn't. He said it was tasty. I had a Coke. Overall, a nice substitute if you can't get to Bamboo Penny. The only thing that was different was I wasn't offered the different sauces/spices to add to the Pad Thai.

We shared the mashed potatoes and spinach, and enjoyed sparkling water with our meal. What really stood out was the exceptional service. We didn't arrive until 9:20 p.m., just 40 minutes before closing, but we never felt rushed. The staff treated us with genuine kindness and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You would never have guessed they were close to closing--the quality was just as impressive as if we had been there much earlier in the evening. If you're looking for amazing food, outstanding service, and a restaurant that consistently delivers a great dining experience, I highly recommend Eddie V's. We'll definitely be back!

The service was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire meal. I started with my go-to appetizer, the calamari, which is consistently one of my favorites. It's always perfectly cooked and never disappoints. I also tried the 24K cocktail, and it was refreshing, smooth, and absolutely delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the lamb chops, and they continue to be the best lamb chops I've had--perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and cooked just right. We paired them with the crab fried rice and the lobster mashed potatoes, and both sides were incredible. The crab fried rice was full of flavor, while the lobster mashed potatoes were rich, creamy, and the perfect complement to the meal. Every bite was delicious, and the level of service matched the quality of the food. The staff is always warm, accommodating, and genuinely makes you feel like a valued guest. It's one of the reasons we continue coming back. Eddie V's has become one of our favorite special occasion restaurants because they consistently deliver exceptional food, outstanding service, and an elegant atmosphere. They simply never disappoint.

It has that polished, upscale steakhouse feel, but the lounge is relaxed enough that you can easily come in for drinks and a few bites without making it a whole evening. The service is excellent and the staff is attentive, professional, and welcoming. Their happy hour is especially worth checking out. The lounge menu has a really good variety, including oysters, sushi, Prime Beef Sliders, Blackened Fish Tacos, Parmesan Truffle Fries, and other small plates. The discounted lounge menu and cocktail specials make it a great way to experience Ocean Prime without necessarily committing to a full steakhouse dinner. I also like that the crowd feels sophisticated but not overly formal. It works just as well for an after-work drink as it does for a date or meeting up with friends. The only slightly unusual part is the location. It's inside 46 Penn Centre, so you enter through what initially feels like the lobby of an office building before heading up to the restaurant. Once you're inside Ocean Prime, though, the experience feels completely different. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and one of the better upscale happy hour options in Kansas City. And if you want to keep the evening going afterward, Prime Social rooftop is upstairs in the same building.
