    my go to when I am in kc!!! the chef does not skimp on the cut of fish compared to certain chains and quality and taste of rolls are great ( I live in LA, sushi haven and could say Kabuki is top tier! Excellent service, cozy vibes and traditional food!

    The presentation was beautiful! The place itself is really cute would be perfect for a date night. The sushi was delicious and filling! Would definitely visit again.

    Boatload of Sushi!!!

    One of the most incredible dining experiences in the United States of America. The sushi is not only colorful and appealing to the eye, but also flavorful and fresh. Crab Rangoon is some of the best I've ever had. The service is fast, and the music and ambience is incredible as well. Will definitely be returning!

    Staff was incredibly friendly. This is not a large space, but it's a comfortable space. We sat at the bar and the chef was very patient with my questions and I enjoyed learning about the different rolls he was creating. We were pleasantly surprised to find that happy hour lasted until 7:00 and included discounts on beer, wine, appetizers and some rolls. Hubby has put this place on equal footing with our favorite Sushi Uni, but so much closer to our home. The fish was incredibly fresh and the pieces were a nice size. The house salad and miso soup that came with hubby's dinner were quality dishes and were not served merely as an afterthought, which was very much appreciated. I tried the Sexy Mama roll and loved the dipping sauce (yuzu ponzu sauce) that he served with it. It gave the roll the perfect amount of heat with a unique flavor twist. I look forward to returning and trying some new items and spending more time watching the chef create more wonderful looking rolls!

    Delicious free dessert with a social post!

    Who would have ever thought!!! Kabuki Sushi is at the bottom of an apartment building in Brookside and is VERY easy to miss. Once you get in there, it's pretty small and intimate, but it feels really homey and the staff is great and very kind. We had a fun night of trying new things and loved all of our sushi. We even got a free dessert for posting a photo of our visit to social media! There are a lot of sushi places in KC and it's tough to weed through which ones are actually worthwhile and which are not. Kabuki Sushi is worthwhile. It's delicious, speedy, the staff is great and it's not the most expensive that I've been to! Check it out!

    Great sushi!! Loved their crab ragoons and their calamari. A hidden gem in Kansas City.

    Chirashi
    Andrea G.

    A cozy tucked away sushi den, one could easily miss. The place is simple, and the decor has a late 80s or early 90s vibe. The pulse of the place is in the quality sushi. The chef creates art with each dish. The sushi is fresh and tasty. Reasonable beer prices. They do delivery. An overall satisfying dining experience. Will return!

    Chirashi

    Kabuki Sushi is truly a hidden gem in KC. Nearly hidden in the ground floor of Meyer West Condos, Kabuki Sushi is a small restaurant serving some big hits. To sample a little bit of everything, I ordered the chirashi. I've eaten at a lot of different sushi restaurants in KC, and the fish here was pretty darn impressive! It was fresh, flavorful, and I can't wait to come back. Not to neglect the sides, the miso was good and the seasoned rice great. Even if you don't get the chirashi, I'd try to see if you can score a side of the seasoned rice with whatever you order. Overall, Kabuki is on my short list of best sushi restaurants in KC. I certainly plan on coming back, and I'd definitely recommend you go too!

    My friends and I were craving sushi and Kabuki popped up with decent reviews so we decided to come here. I felt like the food was really overpriced for what it was. The appetizers were extremely small and the sushi was decent. My boyfriend and I got the sashimi and it was ok. The tuna was probably the only cut that stood out. The presentation of all the food was a little bit lackluster as well. Overall the food was decent, but I probably wouldn't come back again for sushi.

    cajun crunchy, miko, kabuki dragon(our favorite)

    wow wow wow- everyone needs to checkout kabuki sushi in brookside/waldo area! We had never been until last night- but it came highly recommended to us when asking around for Sushi recommendations in kansas city. While the outside of the restaurant is unassuming- which my husband and I personally love. The inside of the restaurant is bursting in authenticity, warmth, and a sweet ambiance. The employees were above and beyond kind. Like SO kind and joyful- cannot emphasize this enough. Even if I didn't like the food I would want to go back solely to support the people. Alex and Lucy helped us but honestly the whole staff was welcoming. Now the Food: We got the kabuki dragon roll, the miko roll, and the cajun crunchy roll. they were FANTASTIC. My husband and I are big sushi people and both have lived in bigger cities previously with incredible sushi options. This was hands down our favorite sushi place so far after a year of hunting for one in KC. Not a negative but something to be mindful of most specialty rolls were $17-$18 which was more than the average that we've seen for a speciality roll in KC. We will be returning customers for sure!! Great job Kabuki!

Their happy hour is every day 4-6, all day Wednesday, and Friday and Saturday 8-10. We ordered a couple rolls and apps. My fave was the Kansas City Roll. Smoked Salmon, with cream cheese, then they cut the roll, fry the pieces, then sliced in half. Perfection! I had had crab Rangoons a few hours earlier, so I didn't order them... but the table next to me did and I was slightly envious.... Most of the food rolls out from the kitchen on a robot trey. It's a very fun way as the robot livens up the room. Our server made the final delivery from Trey to Table. For entrees, we ended up with surf and Turf. The Gyu Don is a bowl of streamed rice topped with marinated slow cooked Beef Ribeye and Mushrooms. The Okimari Chirashi is chefs choice raw fish. We selected sashimi style, so it's on a Bed of sushi rice. My friend had the Lychee Martini which was delicious and potent.

My friends loved the cali roll & please don't get me started on the margaritas!!! They were sooo delicious! The only con was that if you don't like your food, they won't take it off your bill.

Even with that, I would still come back. I just know what to order now. They also have a patio which is pretty cute & a decent dining area. I recommend for a date night or a guys/girls night out!

I have never had salty such rolls before. Could barely eat the Alaskan roll for the salt and that was without soy sauce. Had to ask for Wasabi for our rolls. Teriyaki chicken had a nice flavor, so kudos on that part of the meal. Previously, Omo's was our go to restaurant when we got to KC. I have just been given an excuse to try other restaurants. Ambiane looks the same, but music was way too loud and even the chopsticks are nice, but not as nice as they were. But, at least they aren't disposable. We miss the old chef and waiter.

Then we sat down at the teppanyaki table, and things went south faster than a dropped egg. Our server was solid, but the "chef" was a total trainwreck. It felt like we were an inconvenience to his schedule. He just rushed through the motions with zero engagement, like he was checking off a grocery list instead of actually cooking for people. The "Highlights" (and I use that term loosely): The Timing: I ordered the steak and scallops. He finished my steak before the rice even hit the grill. My cow just sat there getting cold while we watched him "work." The Culinary Wisdom: When one of us asked if the beef was a strip or a ribeye, he literally just said, "It's steak." Cool. Glad we cleared that up. The Cross-Contamination Special: We had a vegetarian in the group. He proceeded to cook her tofu directly in the steak juice. Truly a "chef's kiss" moment if you hate your customers. The Doneness (or lack thereof): The salmon was basically still swimming (raw), and the scallops were charred and tasted like fire and brimstone. The Mussels: I grabbed a side of green mussels. They were... fine? I've had much better elsewhere in town, but they were the Olympic gold medalists of my meal by default. The Silver Lining? The Sake. It came in a take-home glass, was incredibly easy to drink, and was 100% necessary to get through the rest of the experience. I can't speak for the sushi, but if it's handled with the same "I don't want to be here" energy as the teppanyaki, I'd stay far, far away. Two stars only because the hostess was nice and the Sake did its job.

Every detail feels intentional, from the plating and presentation to the atmosphere itself. As someone who appreciates design, Noka absolutely delivers.

Rich, buttery, perfectly balanced, and worth ordering every single time. * Crab Campanelli (11/10) - Absolutely incredible. Comfort food elevated to fine dining quality. If I came back tomorrow, I'd order this again without hesitation. Other highlights: * Filet (10/10) - Beautifully cooked, incredibly flavorful, and paired with perfectly prepared bok choy. Everything on the plate felt intentional. * Night Market Wings (8.5/10) - The quality was excellent. The sweet heat profile just wasn't exactly my personal preference, but that's purely subjective. If you enjoy spicy food with a lingering, slightly numbing heat, you'll probably love these. * Shrimp Tempura Roll (8/10) - Very good and executed well. * Tuna Roll (7/10) - Good, but it was the least memorable item compared to some of the standout dishes we ordered. Noka excels at creating a complete dining experience. Beautiful atmosphere, thoughtful presentation, excellent service, and several dishes that genuinely surprised us. For a special occasion, date night, or anyone looking for an elevated dining experience in Kansas City, it's absolutely worth a visit.

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.
