If you've never seen this process - it's incredibly cool to see. I ordered a stir fry noodle dish - added a bit of chili oil for additional spice and enjoyed every bite!

The dish itself could've used a little more veggies and herbs mixed in. The base flavors were really good, but it was missing just that little extra oomph. also, the music that was playing was pop punk from the early 2000s which was a little disorienting with the rest of the vibes, but I love Paramore so shout out to whoever was on the aux.

If I could give more than 5 stars to KC Craft Ramen, I would! The food was AMAZING, and I loved the…read moredrink selection. I was also very glad to learn that the noodles don't have eggs in them since I have an allergy. They have a small selection of vegan options, most notably a regular and a spicy vegan ramen. The vegan options are very clearly marked as such on the menu, too, so there's no confusion. The menu also mentioned gluten free noodles as an option, however I didn't get the chance to ask staff about cross contamination or anything else that might have gluten, so I can't be certain if it's truly gluten free friendly or not. The next time I go I will try to get that info and will update this review accordingly! Every single staff member was so attentive and polite, and very patient with me during my first visit when I had questions. The seating and decor are also excellent, I loved the overall vibe. All in all it was such a pleasant experience, and I can't wait to return to try more of their menu!

My husband and I are used to getting seated and served at our table, but this is like a cafeteria ordering style which is very smart and efficient of them to do. It makes things more simple and I really like that. The ambiance is very casual. Pick up food at the counter and self service. We would definitely come here again and recommend it to others!!

My friend really loved the fried chicken & rice he ordered. He was all excited about it. Beef broth in the pho was a bit salty and it didn't work out well for me.

I didn't order ramen, I ordered tempura Brussel sprouts and a JINYA bun with pork. I also ordered rice. I thoroughly enjoyed the tempura Brussel Sprouts. They were perfectly fried in tempura coating, fresh and yummy. The JINYA bun with pork was like it's supposed to be. But the bread ofcourse, was like a soggy piece of white bread. I enjoyed it as something new to eat. The white rice kept me full. I traded 2 Brussel Sprouts for a piece of Tempura Chicken. That was as delicious as the Brussel Sprouts. The next visit I'm getting Brussel Sprouts and chicken. I also had a serving of ramen noodles. I had troubles trying to eat it lady like. Atleast they gave us a spoon. This is a very interesting restaurant. I'll eat there if I'm in the area. I found the service excellent as well.

I can imagine ramen tasting like this in a Japanese back alley noodle shop without a gaijin in sight. The space is sleek and comfortable. The server was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and quick. Even the broccoli I ordered on the side was perfectly steamed, without any additions. Very tasty in the ramen bowl. We also got the mini taco appetizer. While delicious, can't say you're getting a good bang for your buck there. A great experience, overall.

Tucked away in a small corner of Lenexa, Monkey King Chinese BBQ & Noodle Restaurant feels like one…read moreof the most authentic Chinese spots in the Kansas City metro area. Their menu consists of a lot of dishes, and some are quite unique .. you don't usually see items like bird's nest dishes at most Chinese restaurants around here except for maybe Bolings. Me and my husband visited on a Saturday night around 8 pm and really devoured our meal. The menu can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but you honestly can't go wrong with stir fries at any Chinese restaurant. For appetizers, we ordered chicken egg rolls, which were hefty and filling. For the main course, I ordered the chicken in black bean stir fry, and my husband got the shrimp Kung Pao chicken stir fry. We paired both with steamed rice. The black bean chicken was rich and earthy, with that deep, slightly funky flavor from the fermented black beans. It was very umami, salty and complimented nicely with the fresh, crisp vegetables and well-cooked chicken. I really liked it. The shrimp Kung Pao was spicy and tangy, with perfectly cooked shrimp (the fried shrimp covering was chefs kiss) and crispy veggies. Overall, we really enjoyed the food. The egg rolls were about $4 for two pieces, and the stir fries were around $17+ each. The portions are quite large compared to other places in the area, so the pricing seemed reasonable. For 2 main course dishes your bill could easily reach up to $40. Otherwise, The restaurant was clean, the staff was kind, and service was quick. It also wasn't too crowded when we visited. I would rate the service 4/5, mainly because we had to ask for silverware, condiments, and tissues separately. The food, though, is definitely a 5/5. Highly recommended! I will definitely return to have more dishes like beef chow fun, the soups and last, but not least BIRDS NEST!!

The temperature was perfect, eggs cooked perfectly (not too hard or soft) and the noodles are a good consistency of not being too chewy, hard, or soggy. I'm also a big fan of their gyoza as it has the perfect crispness on the outside. I enjoy the fact that they have canned soda, ramune, and saki options. Staff is always super kind and helpful with guiding you through their menu. The ramen always comes out super quick. Only downside is there is such a small seating area but I doubt anyone would complain about an upgrade!
