Sushi
Erick P.

We went to this restaurant a few times and really enjoyed the service and the great tasting food. The hibachi plates at the restaurant are all great but we mostly enjoyed the sushi rolls. As far as the Hibachi Grill side, our kids loved it and the staff were very friendly. It is a great place to unwind and enjoy dinner with friends or the family.

I have only eaten here once - but from what I remember, I liked it. Traveling to Ft Leavenworth quarterly, you find yourself often driving to KCMO for dinner. There just is not a lot going on (dinner wise) in Lansing-Leavenworth. Fortunately, I found this little sushi spot. It is a pretty common "westernized" sushi place. But that's ok, because I'm a western fella. The service was fine; no issues there and nothing to report (negative or positive). The ambiance was decent. Again, a very typical westernized weapon of a Japanese sushi place with very heavy Korean influences, and I think I even saw some Thai options? The menu looks like the establishment-just everything Asian lol. But again, I don't mind. As long as it's all clean and sanitized and it was. I enjoyed the food. I always like a good old Philly Role, Spicy Tuna and all that. Add cheese wonton on the side? I'm sold. For a landlocked location like Lansing Kansas, I felt like the sashimi was as surprisingly fresh. I mean, it wasn't sitting on the rocks in Osaka kinda fresh... but it was surprisingly fresh and good for being in Kansas. Good for them! That's a whole star right there! I have to travel to the Army Post here frequently, and I think I'll be back next time I go. It's decent sushi, and 1 mile from the hotel, as opposed to 30 minutes to anything in KCMO.

Excellent, fun experience. They were very good to work with food allergies. We had younger children and the chef really played and "toned down" the parts where they may be scared by. A great experience. Prices were very reasonable for the amount of food served.

Very busy on a Friday night and a fun experience. We hadn't been here in years - it is loud. We brought our international officer as this is always a fun experience. The hibachi chefs are always engaging! Dinner & a show with the freshest food prepared right in front of you

Did the hibachi the other night to celebrate our family visitors. We had a great time. Food as always was great. The guy who did the hibachi had a great personality. The server was amazing and handled everything very well.

Hibachi Chicken

Not one to go out of my way to review but my take out was repulsive. I'm fat and I still would rather go hungry than eat this. Hibachi chicken tastes like they boiled the chicken and then took watered down sauce and put it in the box. Veggies with this tasted raw and flavorless. Fried rice is a flavor combination of pepper, soy sauce, and MORE pepper. My soup tasted like a 4:1 ratio of water to soy sauce with slivers of mushroom. My husband said the sushi at the grocery store tastes better and is presented better than what we received If you just moved here, don't bother. The food was so bad, I'm now curious if the store has other businesses in the back keeping it open

Received wrong

Came from out of town for work and needed a place to eat lunch. Made 4 take out orders. 3 of 4 were wrong and had very small portions. One order was so covered in pepper it could not be eaten. Another received the order incorrectly and had to return the food for corrections. Another 20 mins there and back! For the price paid, this was not worth the time or money. Quality and taste below average....Go elsewhere!

Filthy and unclean. Rude and slow service. The sushi tasted like cleaning chemicals. I ate one piece and gagged because of it. They still tried to charge me for the roll. This place is truly awful.

Filer mignon and shrimp hibachi style.

Great food. Great service. Very showy atmosphere. Not too far from KCK. Easy to find.

Japanese steakhouse with hibachi grills, entertaining chefs, and great food. Feel free to sit around the hibachi grills or in the regular dining area and enjoy everything from freshly prepared steak to sushi. The service is generally excellent and the prices are more than fair based on porrtion size. Make sure to take a second at the front to review their daily specials, personal favorite is the Volcano roll, and sit back and enjoy a sake.

Move the couch from the lobby that appears to be someone's bed after hours. It was very off-putting.

Meh. The food itself was good. But I always associate a Japanese Steak House with yum yum sauce, theirs was mediocre.

If you're downtown and craving sushi, Blue Sushi Sake Grill is always a solid go-to. I've been here…read moremultiple times and it never disappoints. Their happy hour is one of the best perks. It runs daily until 6pm and all day Sunday, which honestly feels a little dangerous in the best way. It's the perfect excuse to try a few different rolls without committing to full price. My personal lineup never changes. The Lion King roll is a must. It's warm, flavorful, and just melts together perfectly. The Yellowtail Serrano is super fresh with a nice little kick, and the Hawaiian roll adds that slightly sweet balance that rounds everything out. And the service? Always 10/10. The staff is consistently attentive, friendly, and keeps everything flowing without making you feel rushed. The vibe is fun but still relaxed enough for a casual night out, whether you're meeting friends or just want a good sushi fix. Definitely one of my favorite regular spots downtown.

Sushi was delicious, BUT the server (some blonde ish white guy) I had was rushing me through my…read moremeal so fast, I won't be going back. I got there at 5:50pm last night, sat at the sushi bar ordering salmon rolls, soup, and hot sake. The sake takes a long time to drink, and I was trying to pace myself, but every five minutes "do you need anything?" Or "can I take your plate?" From the server. He started cleaning right next to me, seemed very clear he was ready for me to leave, and I was just quietly sitting by myself at the sushi bar. By 6:47, less than an hour, all my plates were cleared and I'd paid even though I wasn't completely done (just was tired of getting bugged constantly). I still had my sake left and was trying to work through it as fast as I could, but the guy kept hovering over me, so I ended up leaving a good bit of it still behind. Mama raised me NEVER to tip less than 20%, but I gave about 17% since I could not fully enjoy my lovely meal. I love sushi, but if I do get from here again, I'll just order on Uber Eats. Sad, because I really liked the place!

Wow! What a treat!…read more We've lived here for 4 years and have FINALLY found our sushi spot. My party of 3 ordered various rolls and they were all superb. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was a fairly busy Saturday afternoon but we were seated quickly. Space is a bit tight in the main dining area, but it's not a bother at all. Our service was superb. Ananya was incredible and very attentive to us. She answered all of our menu questions with ease and exuberance. We will for sure ask for her when we come back, which will no doubt be very soon.

As someone who's gluten intolerant, finding sushi spots with safe options can be a challenge and…read moreSushi Uni made the experience easy and enjoyable. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and confident about what I could and couldn't have. They offer an impressive number of gluten-free options, which immediately earned major points. What I ordered: *Honey wasabi on the side: definitely a rare find at most sushi spots. * 87th Street Roll: was really good * KC Chiefs Roll: wasn't for me; it had a lot going on flavor-wise and didn't come together well. *Salmon Katsu Fantasy Roll (no eel sauce, added jalapeños + spicy mayo), and that one was absolutely delicious. Cocktail options are somewhat limited options I didn't care for but they make up for it with a wide variety of sake to explore. Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'll be returning to.
