Our server made sure food timing worked with our Uber pickup and had to-go containers ready! We've noticed many places in KC have a very laid-back 'we'll get to you when we get to you. Don't bother me' approach, which made the hospitality at Phikul Thai Bistro stand out even more. Excellent ambiance, spotless interior, and a team that clearly cares about the guest experience.

It took almost 30 min to get waters and one hour and 15 min to get our apps of calamari and shrimp rolls. Calamari was mostly breading. We ordered a noodle soup, which was forgotten. They eventually brought it out when they asked if we got everything. This was close to the 2 hour mark. When they came with the soup, we asked for additional bowls and didn't get any. So I found a corner of to go containers and helped myself.

The sushi was delish, they had all of the standard fare plus some neat inventions. The group ordered a large platter of the Philly sushi, which was great, paired with a nice salad and then a fabulous dessert . Top notch! Our waiter was exceptional, very friendly, and we always had exactly what we needed and he even got our jokes. The ambience is nice , the place has a happy feel to it. Plenty of selections at the bar, comfortable seating, and there's also outside dining during the nicer months. And, there is a small stage for music, so I'll have to come back on an evening or a weekend.

Ended up getting the crab rangoon for an appetizer, It was not folded the traditional way that you see most of the time but it was cooked to perfection!! Had a great crunch and was a large portion. I got a Thai Coffee to drink and it was sooooo good. For my rolls I got the Spicy Ying Yang Roll and the Spicy Karma Roll. Both were good size and had amazing flavor. Do Not order these if you don't like heat thought, they defiantly brought it. I will definitely add this to my rotation of sushi places to eat at.

Forgive me as I forgot the name of one of the rolls! I believe I got a spicy crab roll and the 2nd roll had imitation crab on top with shrimp tempura and maybe mango in the middle? Again, forgive me. I gobbled these up in SECONDS! They were a bit pricey, I want to say give or take $25 for 2 little rolls, but as a little treat to myself, it was worth it!

We parked in one of Miyabi's spots since the neighboring storefront was full, and after finishing…read moreour purchase next door, we sat in the car for about 5-10 minutes figuring out our next stop. During that time, an employee came outside and stared us down the entire time until we left. It felt unnecessarily hostile, especially considering the restaurant had no customers at the time. I understand wanting to keep parking available for patrons, but the approach came across as unwelcoming and aggressive. I've eaten at Miyabi before, and while the food was okay, it wasn't anything memorable or worth going out of my way for. I especially won't be returning after this recent experience. Yikes!

The staff was friendly and helpful, and the space was charming, with a Japanese cooking show playing on a wall mounted tv, nice music playing in the space, and eclectic decor throughout. Everything was also very clean and organized, and I appreciated the amazing prices for the food! The quality is on par with other Japanese restaurants I have been to, which often charge more even for their lunch special. I'll absolutely be returning to Sam's in the future to try more of their food!

I would like to be very honest here, I was really misled by the ratings and reviews here on Yelp…read more While I thought the decor was really nice, added a cute Korean and Japanese touch, the food did let me down. We got the Yummy Combo with Garden Salad ($17), the Mango Tango Roll ($14), and the Sakura Blossom Roll ($14). The service was fast, and our server was very sweet and caring. To begin with, even though the sushi looked colorful and appealing, it lacked taste. It was missing seasoning, felt stale, and had almost zero freshness. It reminded me of the premade sushi you get at PanAsia, Target, or Sam's Club. Freshness is a huge factor for me when I go out for sushi, but this just didn't have it. The rice was dry by the time it reached our table, and it wasn't sticky enough. It felt like the cold rice was microwaved and then used to make sushi - that's the feeling I got. I also didn't think it was worth the money. We spent over $50 + after tax and tip for three rolls, which is similar to what many other sushi restaurants charge, but those places serve much fresher and better quality sushi - Sushi Uni in Lenexa. The garden salad dressing was also a complete disappointment. It had no distinct ginger flavor or even enough seasoning. It was very thick and heavily spread over the salad, which made it unpleasant to look at and eat. Overall, the service was excellent, but the food didn't live up to the ratings or the price. The three stars are for the lovely server, the beautiful decor, and the well presented sushi. I really hope they improve the freshness because, based on the older reviews, they seem to have the potential to serve much better sushi. If they do, I will be the first one to definitely come back to try more of their beautiful looking rolls.

It's 90 degrees something out & I had to try their pho. It was GOOD, to my surprise! And I say that, cause I haven't found good pho since I've been in MO. Most pho places in MO, I've noticed - their phos are salty. But here, flavor is spot on! My sister had sushi & their shrimp special. We shared the hamachi yellowtail. A bit different from what we're use too at other sushi places. The yellowtail was thick - we had to send it back for some thinner slices. Still came back this, but we manage. Typically the hamachi would be in a sauce but it wasn't. So we opted for ponzu on the side. The servers were great - answered all the Qs my sister had. Checked on us constantly. Def considering this place a hole in the wall. From the outside, I wouldn't visit but once you do decide, the food/variety & costs are well worth it. Costs are better than other places. I opted for 4 stars - for location. If I lived closer, def would be a place to probably be a regular at.
