Sushi was amazing last night -- really fresh, you can tell. Got there around 7pm and it wasn't too crowded (small spot), though they mentioned they were busy and quoted us 30 minutes for food. It actually came out in about 20, which was a nice surprise. Great sake selection, and the waitstaff was incredibly attentive all night. One thing I really appreciated: they organize the menu into cooked vs. uncooked sushi, so if you can't do raw fish you can still easily find plenty to eat -- nice touch for mixed groups. Overall, great value for the money. We'll definitely be back. read more

The happy hour menu is the way to go! You can try a variety of options (both food and drink) for a very reasonable price. The service was great: quick and polite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is alright. It's nothing to write home about but there's nothing wrong with it either.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought the food was good! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat in the dinning area where we had to take off our shoes. It was such a cozy fun experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd also like to add that we had the sweetest server! The staff was so nice and accommodating to everyone! The food was equally amazing. Very comforting and delicious. Everything I had was amazing, my favorite roll was the one with the avocado topping.! That one was *chefs kiss* I'll be coming back specifically for that!! read more

Their Menu offers something for everyone, Awesome Happy Hour Monday-Thursday till 630pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]3+ Distinct dining spaces. There are seats at the sushi bar, a regular bar area, dining room, then a more private area with semi-private tables[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We arrived after happy hour was over, so we were able to get a table in the main dining room. We ordered Appetizers, Sushi, and Entrees. Service was good, and the food was delicious. The Hamachi Kama is grilled with the bones, so it does require a little work, but the flavor is delicious. Our Sushi arrived beautifully presented on a boat. I should have kept a menu so I remembered which rolls were which as they were not reviewed when delivered. When we ordered the sushi, we just filled out the paper and turned it in. When we ordered the appetizers and entrees the server did not touch pen to paper. My friend ordered the Chicken Teriyaki, which was good ( I was surprised he was not more adventurous... ) I ordered the Pork Curry. The Dinner entrees are a full experience with soup and salad included with rice served with the entree. In the future I will just order sushi as an appetizer, so I will hopefully have room to try Desert! read more

I had such a wonderful experience here!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came in for a solo dinner on a Friday night and sat at the sushi bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was immediately greeted and put in an order for a glass of wine, clear onion soup, & spicy crab salad. I looked over the sushi menu and chose the special KC roll that had spicy crab inside with scorched salmon on top. It was delicious and all my fav things in a roll! I could immediately tell this was a family owned restaurant by the way the staff interacted with the customers, who were all regulars! I had some great conversations with the people seated on both sides of me that just raved about the fresh sushi and great service/staff at Jun's. It was really great to see and I will definitely be back frequently!! read more

Jun's has been around for a LONG time, so you know it's good to survive that long here. Popped in and sat at the sushi bar and got a few rolls. The quality of sushi here is fresh and the service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sushi bar was packed, but there were a lot of tables available in the back that were open in case you can't get a spot up front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only problem we had was the bill was off by $10 and it wasn't itemized, so unless you figure the total beforehand, it could have easily been missed. Once I pointed it out, it was corrected with apologies, but the un-itemized bill did have me a little concerned on if it was an accident or not. I'd still definitely come back, but I'm making sure my bill is correct before I leave. That was the only reason I took a star off. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We love the back room at Jun's to celebrate special occasions![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's always a great time and the food is fabulous every time. No pictures of apps but the calamari, edamame, crab Rangoon, and crispy egg rolls were great. We also started with a pitcher of warm saki which was very interesting! The BBQ Eel is rich and a favorite and the pork katsu and chicken and shrimp were excellent, too. We were happy with all of our sushi choices, they were so fresh and very balanced. Our server was over the top with great recommendations, perfect balance of checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely one of the best places for an authentic experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The place is always packed with regulars but it's pretty easy to get a reservation! Also easy for parking and getting in an out of the center where it's located. read more

Been coming to Jun's for years and never disappoints. Good sushi can be hard to find in the KC area but Jun's always has fresh fish. We sat at the sushi bar, which I recommend since it's fun watching them prepare everything. We ordered several pieces of sashimi and a few of the rolls with raw fish, otherwise we gave dealers choice to Johnny one of the sushi chefs. We loved everything we had, with standouts being the Toro (fatty tuna), ebi shrimp, and the hamachi crudo. Johnny did excellent job surprising us with different dishes. Service is always good and sushi is prepared in timely manner. Definitely recommend for nice date night or just any time you are wanting to treat yourself to some sushi . read more

Came here on a busy Friday night but got seated immediately. Aaron did an excellent job being very attentive, friendly and providing fast service.

The Best in town ! Love Amy! I won't eat sushi any where in KC but Junes. My son has been eating sushi since he was 4 years and only at Junes. He is turning 10 on June 20th! The staff are amazing!!!! read more

This is the best authentic Japanese food in KC! It's been around for many years and has remained a staple!

This was a recommendation from a friend who used to live in Japan and they did not disappoint. This place is super cool! We got seated in the back where we took our shoes off to sit on the mats. There are other tables and bar seating that is also available. Overall service was excellent! They were quick and readily available when we needed something. They frequently checked in on us to make sure it all tasted good. We got the mushroom and mussel appetizers. The mushrooms were a little bland. But the mussels were delicious! They were chopped up and perfectly tender and seasoned. For the entrees, we got sashimi and a couple rolls. The fish tasted fresh and the rolls were nicely put together and everything went well with each other. This is definitely our new go to spot for sushi! I'm excited to try the other Japanese dishes as well. read more

The servers are very kind and understanding. if there is a language barrier, they find a staff member who can help...what i originally ordered wasn't what o expected to come out. They helped me find what i really wanted and allowed me to change my order. What i was eventually given was Amazong. I ended up getting the Las Vegas tempura roll. it was phenomenal. all of the flavors in it complimented each other. i couldn't stop eating it. Best Sushi roll in KC. The Pork Katsu was expertly cooked and the Katsu sauce was the best i've had, read more

It's been over a decade since I've reviewed Jun's, so I owe an update: still as good as ever. We took the kids here early on a Saturday evening and were lucky to snag a table in the back room; you take your shoes off and sit on pillows, and it's a completely different vibe than the rest of the space. The service and sushi were as prompt as ever, and between us an the kids, we tried: -Fried calamari -Edamame -Traditional sushi of salmon over rice, and tuna over rice -Spicy tuna roll -California roll -Some fancy roll I forget the name of but it was topped with crab, jalapenos and sriracha My oldest loves seafood, and couldn't quite get there with the sushi but was content with the apps. It's nice to know there are several cooked rolls and other things to order if they're not quite ready for entry into the world of raw fish. I thought everything was fantastic, with the traditional sushi and the fancy jalapeno topped roll being the standouts. The spicy tuna was the only one that somewhat missed the mark, as the texture wasn't my fav. I really couldn't believe how efficient things went during our visit, they were friendly and things flowed perfectly. We will definitely come back here for the vibes, and of course for what I think is some of the better sushi around KC. read more

Absolutely a wonderful experience last night at Jun's Authentic Japanese Restaurant. We went knowing that we wanted an Omakasa style meal. Meaning that the sushi chef curates the meal off of what is best that day. This experience starts at $50.00 per person and you can go up from there. Everything we had was fresh and flavorful. It was nice to not make a decision about what we wanted to eat and how much to order. The sneaky new favorite were the "sweet" rolls at the end of the meal. They were shrimp with a sweet coconut sauce, so different. read more

Went here with a friend because we were craving some sushi after our workout. It was so cute inside and we asked to get sat in the back where you take off your shoes and sit on a pillow.

The sushi bar is the place to be at Jun's! Friendly up close service where you get to watch the sushi chefs make gorgeous plates of edible art.

Perfect spot for a date night! read more

Appetizers were great and came out pretty quick! Our server was super nice and helpful being our first time here. This place seemed very popular, we had to wait a bit before we got a seat so I recommend to call in ahead of time. Sushi seemed fresh and rice was cooked very well. There were different areas to be seated, we got a table but wish we were able to sit in the shoes-off sitting area! read more

I went to Jun's Authentic Japanese restaurant with some old college friends for happy hour and I was NOT disappointed. Their happy hour is Monday - Thursday from 4:30-6:30 and is crazy affordable. I love when Happy Hours end a little later because it is tricky getting to happy hour in time for most folks who work until 5pm. The sushi rolls are fresh and tasty. I highly recommend getting the crab rangoons and the gyoza. DELICIOUS!

I have been waiting to try Jun's for a while now, since my friend that has grown up in KC says it is the best sushi in KC! When you walk in, you are greeted with a large restaurant (two sushi bars and a dining room) and a relaxing atmosphere, with low lighting and great servers. My friend ordered the udon noodles with beef and didn't love the beef but said the stir fry noodles were good. I had 3 rolls and a mango martini. I liked the martini and it was $10, which seemed normal. However, most of the rolls were $16 and I kind of felt like it was a little pricey because they were pretty on par with some other sushi places that have a wide range of prices. The edamame was also a little plain for me. Overall, I did enjoy it but I think it might be a little pricey. read more

I'm definitely coming back because their happy hour menu looks VERY promising. I have my eyes on the crab rangoon. Make sure to ask to sit at the traditional Japanese tables...  you get to sit criss-cross at the table with pillow seat cushions. You take off your shoes and everything, and they use Shoji Screens as dividers. It's a dining experience that transports you to Japan! As for food, I ordered the Chicken Hibachi for $14.50 and kind of regretted it. Not that it didn't taste good (because it definitely was tasty), but the higher price makes me wish I had waited to spend that money at an actual hibachi grill where they would actually cook your food in front of you. That was my own fault, but everyone else's orders looked amazing. Highly recommend this dining experience! *visited 4/23/21 read more

Jun's is located in a strip in Prairie Village. In the back room, there is floor seating which can be a fun experience. The staff is friendly, however, the last time I came, it took over 30+ minutes to get our sushi while other tables around us who ordered after, were getting their food. Overall, their sushi is good. I've never been disappointed by the quality/taste. read more

Went there to celebrate a birthday, arrived at 530 - THANK GOODNESS, half hour later the place was packed. I did not know they do a HH with food and drinks. It stayed quite busy the entire time we were there. Miso soup as always is the BEST, plain soup ordered by my companion is her fav. We got about 6 rolls standard ones all were great, but a new one and a stand out for me was the Pacific - 1st bite I was not sure but Darn it was the star. Great service and next time I want to sit in the back tables it looks like fun. read more

Beautiful food and why not add a decadent quail egg to your sushi? The portions are typical. The staff helpful and the back room allows for low tables and shoes off comfort with padded booths. Go with time to try many rolls, from raw to fried no complaints whatsoever for this place! read more

Wow the food is awesome!!! The service is a little abrupt (but it might just be cultural differences). One is left to guess why there is only 1 menu on the table and 1 order form as the hostess left immediately after showing us our table (there were 7 of us). Eventually someone came to take our drink orders and eventually our food orders. The ambiance seems authentic as we were in the back room for a party our size and shoes must be removed. Everyone finished all the food as it was too good not to. It felt like an authentic experience and we will be back. read more

My husband and I came to this restaurant for a birthday celebration with his family. The decor of this restaurant is lovely, they have an area that is decorated in a traditional Japanese style which really sets the tone of the meal. We shared a multitude of appetizers that were all tasty (crab Rangoon, edamame, crab salad, fried tofu). I ordered the chirashi don and my husband ordered the sushi B platter. Both are chefs choice regarding the sushi/sashimi served. I appreciated the varied choices and portion size - mine came with tuna, salmon, two white fish, octopus, shrimp, eel, and egg. The miso soup that was served alongside it was flavorful and made with red miso. I did feel that the rice could have been a bit more seasoned for the maki my husband ordered, and prices for individual rolls were a bit high. Service was okay but we did have to wave our waiter down multiple times. Overall a nice experience with family. read more

Jun's Authentic Japanese - Chirashi Don - Japanese Near Me - Prairie Village, Kansas

Definitely my favorite sushi restaurant in the Kansas City area. I have been here several times now for sushi only, and I haven't been disappointed yet. The happy hour options are numerous and can't be missed! Jun's is the place I go to when I am craving sushi and want to eat a lot. The happy hour rolls range from $4-6 dollars and there are many options. You can easily find yourself picking 3 or 4 rolls that will really fill you up. They'll even put the rolls in a cool looking boat too! I would also highly recommend requesting the authentic Japanese style seating area if you have a larger group. My personal favorites would have to be the Vegas and Dynamite rolls. They are both packed full of ingredients and taste that will satisfy any sushi craving. If you are an eel fan like me, I would also highly recommend the simple Unagi roll..highly underrated. Overall you can't really beat the quantity of sushi you get for the price. Especially during happy hour. I will definitely be back. read more

We came here for a dinner celebration on Friday night and it was easy to get a seat Atmosphere: small tables in the general area, some hidden booths that can seat more. Casual, easy. Food: food actually tasted okay and their fish is relatively good. Here was my big problem: they are SO stingy on the amount of fish in the sushi rolls, and we had multiple (3+) pieces per roll of the smallest amount of fish I've seen in sushi rolls (refer to my pictures). Just awful - why bother rolling any fish in there at all?! We felt pretty cheated. Service: friendly, no complaints there. Overall, disappointing sushi rolls, but a convenient place. I wanted to like it more, but come on - give us more fish for what we are paying for and make the rolls more consistent! read more

Open late!! Ordered tempura udon and crab Rangoon to go. Usually when you order food right before closing it tastes old, but this stuff was fresh! So fresh I burned my mouth when I bit into the crab Rangoon - oh but it was worth it. Delicious, good serving portions. Will definitely come back to dine in. They offer seating on the floor in true Japanese style. Don't let the outward appearance fool you - this place is legit! read more

Definitely a hidden gem. My wife and I go to the sushi bar regularly and it never disappoints. The service is great, the people behind the bar in the waiters and waitresses are very friendly. It looks like a smaller storefront, but there is a nice big area for seating, as well as the sushi bar and regular bar. Great atmosphere, and we highly recommend, I believe the oldest sushi restaurant in the city read more

Having lived in Japan for 5 years, I am rather picky about my sushi in land locked Kansas City! However, Juns is as authentic as it gets! They have quality ingredients and you can tell with the first bite! We often go to Juns to celebrate and get the sushi boat which the kids love! They also have great appetizers like yaki tori, shrimp and vegetable tempura and the faithful edamame! The service is great whether it be in the tatami room, main dining area or sushi bar! The ambiance is true Japanese with the above said tatami room and the sushi bar- the only difference I would say is that it is much more spacious than eateries in Japan! read more

I came here with a big party so we got to sit in a secluded area. The food was great and would definitely recommend getting sake as well.

I have gotten takeout from here a few times. I was craving tempura udon noodle soup one night and was excited that there was a restaurant so close by that had it. The tempura batter is crispy, the noodles are soft and chewy, and the soup is hot. I have also tried the stir fried udon noodles with shrimp before, which is pretty good, but not a big portion. My one complaint is that the last time I came here to pick up my order, I waited for 15 minutes at the front entrance before any staff members asked if I needed help. There was only one other customer waiting for their order, so it wasn't that busy. When someone finally helped me, my order had been ready and waiting at the front counter the whole time. I was kind of turned off by that experience, but will probably return in the future. read more

Located in an older strip mall area of Waldo, but do not let the outside visuals fool you, Jun's is WORTH IT. The decor sets a wonderful atmosphere and is really well designed. My wife and I LOVE their shoes-off sitting area in the back of the restaurant (see photo). We started with their Gyoza and Miso soup. Delish! I also cannot pass up some tasty hot sake and Sapporo. We ordered 4 rolls, the raw spicy tuna, scallops, dynamite, and tiger eye. All were excellently prepared and tasted fresh as can be. Oh! My wife also ordered a Mango Martini, and it was worth it! I love that Jun's is full of culture, great food, and the best service. And it is here in KCMO! You must visit Jun's for sushi when you are in KCMO! read more
