Such an incredible dining experience. I hadn't tried much raw fish before, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but everything was absolutely exceptional. Around 90% of the ingredients are brought in fresh from Japan, and the quality and freshness truly come through in every dish. The thoughtfully arranged menu allows you to experience a variety of flavors without having to make too many decisions, while still offering add-ons if you'd like to try something extra. The drink menu was equally impressive, with a great selection to complement the meal. The staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was beautiful. It's upscale and elegant, yet small and intimate enough to feel special. From start to finish, it was a memorable experience, and I will absolutely be back. read more

Ok KC is young their sushi game with this place! I was so sad to leave California thinking I'm never going to have food omakase again in Kansas City. So happy to have found this place! It's a small intimate 10 seat service. You sit at the sushi bar and served by the chef who was originally from NYC and trained in Japan. All the fish is fresh straight from Japan so you know you're getting the real deal. It's an omakase place so basically chefs choice, but everything I had was delicious. Prob better than some of the SoCal places that I use to frequent. The fish was super fresh and the flavor combination chef creates was amazing. Will definitely keep coming back! read more

Such a fun and unique dining experience in Overland Park! I went to Kiyoshi Omakase with a good friend who is actually visiting Japan later this year, so it was really fun getting to experience omakase together before her trip. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, and I loved being able to sit at the counter and watch everything being prepared right in front of us. My favorites were the miso cod and scallop, but getting to try each course was part of what made the entire experience so much fun! They have sake to start the experience and dessert at the end, too. We also got to see how they celebrate birthdays -- the room basically turns into a little party with lights at the end! I'd definitely recommend Kiyoshi for a date night, celebration or even a night out with friends when you want to do something a little different. Make a reservation ahead of time! read more

My husband and I treated ourselves for our anniversary here, and it was well worth the $$$$. It was a very intimate space with only 2 other parties/9 people total sitting around the counter. Dinner started promptly at our reservation time with the first set of appetizers. A total of 14 courses were served, and each course was impeccable. My personal favorites were the Salmon Belly and Miso Black Cod, but I would eat every item again! The fish was super fresh and delicious. To pair with dinner, we ordered the Moonstone Asian Pear Sake. If you like sake and if you like a strong drink with a slight fruity after taste, this is for you! The attention to detail, precision, and skill were well observed by Chef Jerry. He also made conversation with all the guests which added a nice friendly touch to the overall experience. At the end of the course, we were able to order any of the course items and other menu items a la carte. It was too good to pass, so my husband and I both indulged in a few more pieces. The chef recommended the Crown Tower (Toro, Uni, Scallop), and it was my husband's favorite bite of the entire night. This was a great omakase experience for us, and we can't wait to be back! read more

Kiyoshi is not just any other omakase to join the growing list in KC, but a really good one. The menu is a set 14-course omakase, serving the freshest fish, primarily from Japan. They offer 10 spots per seating, so the experience is very intimate. The sushi chef was very engaging which made the night enjoyable. A true treat for a special dinner, and a great price for an omakase. Will definitely be back again. read more

A beautiful and unique experience in the KC area, Chef Jerry spent 15 years in NYC and brought the experience of Omakase to us here. Every bite was curated and incredibly fresh, majority of the fish they serve is flown in from Japan - they receive shipments 2-3x per week. I would certainly not go on a totally empty stomach, as the bites are small, but don't let that stop you. read more

I love sushi & this experience was a Mother's Day gift from my daughters. This experience has opened my taste pallet to be more adventurous with sushi. All the courses were tender & fresh. Of the 14 courses the most notable were; Madai (sea bream) - topped with sea salt & rice had some wasabi, Kanpachi (amber jack) - 2nd favorite, rich tasting fish, Salmon with foie gras - fav, smoky foie gras & Shima aji (stripe jack) - buttery, tied with amber jack. This experience is $98 for the 14 courses, they offer add ons pieces. In my opinion this is a one time experience for a special occasion & will expand your sushi palette. The chef was friendly & visited with all the patrons(10 total). read more

I brought my husband here for his birthday dinner and it was absolutely incredible! Easily one of the best meals we've EVER had. The food was so fresh and delicious, the service was top notch and the atmosphere was fun yet intimate. The chef seemed genuinely so happy to be sharing his food with us and with good reason! He is unbelievably talented, I would've sat at that counter all night eating whatever he put in front of us without question! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! The quality is always top notch and service is pleasant. Only reason why I don't give 5 stars is because the size of each piece is half of what I'm used to. (I'm from Caifornia and grew up with the omakase experience.) read more

Spent 2 weeks in Japan recently and Kiyoshi Omakase was better than some of the omakase we enjoyed in Tokyo. Fantastic attention to detail and amazing, non-traditional combinations of ingredients. Loved the minimalist and relaxed atmosphere. Service was attentive and friendly. Really enjoyed engaging with the chef during the meal to learn more about each course. read more

Gorgeous new omakase place in downtown OP! Heard about it from Instagram and had to snag a res. It's very small, but the chef handles each dish with the utmost care and it was a very fun dining experience! Lots of premium ingredients being used in his inventive omakase menu, which I enjoyed. Definitely not cheap, but for a special night out, I think this place is definitely worth it. read more

After seeing all the positive Google reviews so far about Kiyoshi, I went on a whim and gave it a try after being hesitant about yet another omakase opening up in the KC metro area. A lot of the initial reviews were pretty basic and positive so it raised my curiosity on what it was really like, I felt that I had to actually go there to get the full in-depth perspective. It is interesting to see how so many new Japanese places have opened up in the last few years such as Akoya, Kodawari, Anjin, and Kata Nori. Overall it was a solid experience. I give it 5 stars for the value and service. I think what sets this place apart is the vast variety of courses and the efficiency of pace. Other places you get odd pauses and delays, but here it is a steady casual rapid-fire pace. At $98 it is considerably less than what you would pay for at Akoya ($165) or Kodawari ($200), but if you throw in Kata Nori it will maybe be more comparable price wise. With 14 courses the highlights were the Kinmedai, Madai, Hokkaido Scallop, Shima Aji, Toro Hand Roll, and Bluefin Tuna. There was no dessert at the end. It makes you wonder how they were able to pack in so many other fancy items like caviar, A5 wagyu, uni, truffle, etc into this $98 set, and it is fairly evident that once you see the smaller portions coming out, you get what you pay for, which is fair. There is an extensive a la carte menu you can order from at the end with choices such as foie gras, hand rolls, oyster, or repeat any previous courses. A couple of extra pieces can quickly get you spending $40-60 on top of the original omakase set. The service was excellent overall, it is basically a one-man show for the omakase, while there is only one server taking care of everyone's drink orders, but she does a great job of keeping up with it all. They have some basic sake selections, and a good Japanese beer selection including Koshihikari Echigo, Orion, and Sapporo. The beer is not listed on the menu but it is displayed on their shelf and you'll want to make sure to ask the server about beer choices. The seating was about 15-20 minutes late due to the previous group running over, but I didn't mind and everyone else did not seem to be bothered by it either. If it is your birthday I did witness an intense light show that they put on for you. Chef Jerry is knowledgeable with the sourcing of the fish and explaining all the details. He is easy-going and approachable with any questions and conversation. As a sushi enthusiast myself who has been to other omakases on the coasts, it was definitely evident that he has been around for a while. The pace of the omakase was efficient, you will not be waiting that long between bites which really brings out the "New York Style" omakase that the chef conveys since that is where he previously spent his time at. They do have a sister restaurant in New York and route a lot of their fish from there so that gives them that advantage in terms of sourcing and keeping their pricing at value. Inside it is pretty spacious where 8 people can easily fit in the waiting area if the seating time before you is still at the bar. I felt it was a really easy-going experience where you could easily talk to your neighbors, and the chef was engaging and talkative too. In the end I felt like yes, it was a cool place to try and it does distinguish itself from its competitors effectively. Parking will be a lot easier at Kiyoshi due to being located in Overland Park and it is a safer neighborhood. But unfortunately it does not replace Bob Wasabi Kitchen as the KC sushi GOAT. If you are like me and miss Bob Wasabi Kitchen, I have still yet to find a KC sushi place to replace the void. For a more comprehensive high quality experience in the Midwest, Yoshitomo in Omaha is still a better bet. For $98 in Overland Park, still pretty good variety, you get what you pay for. Worth a try. I saw everyone around me enjoy their time and so did I. read more
