    Double spicy roll
    Betty C.

    Wow I was really impressed with the sushi here!! For this area, it was actually really good. The sushi tasted fresh and the flavors were great . Portions were nice too. The menu is huge and even has udon and other non sushi options. I also would check out the chef special. The one we had was amazing! We also got the seaweed salad which I forgot to take a photo of but that portion is huge. Would definitely be enough as an app for four people. Really yummy as well. The cucumber really accents the seaweed! Cute little spot. There's actually a decent amount of seating and you can see some of the chefs working as well. ‍ Definitely am coming back here!! Yum!!!

    This is chirashi bowl, but it's basically just a sashimi combo plate with a lump of rice.
    Azile Y.

    To be honest, I think it's typical mediocre Midwestern sushi. Nothing was awful, nothing was great. I sat at the sushi bar, the staff did not acknowledge me. I ordered the chirashi bowl, which was served on a plate, and was basically just a sashimi combo with a big lump of rice with barely any seasoning on it. The quality of the fish was mediocre, and all the fish was cold - not served at room temperature as traditional sushi is served. It came with the soup or salad, I opted for salad, and the dressing was Ranch... Which just feels so American and not authentically Japanese at all. I was hoping for the ginger dressing. I just don't think the food here is inspired or unique, there are definitely better sushi places in our metro.

    Location: North Kansas city Ambiance: family oriented Food: sushi was awful. Did not look or taste fresh. This place is not cheap. Service: was good.

    Food was very good. I had wow sushi. It was so delicious that I ordered another one to go. I also ordered a combo fried rice to go. I also ate a piece California and a piece of Philadelphia roll. All the good was delicious. I had hot sake which was also delicious. The service was also excellent. I will definitely come back in the future.

    I absolutely love this place in Liberty! The service is always amazing, the food never disappoints, and the owners give it a homey kind of feel! I love to get the angry dragon roll. If you look at the picture, it actually looks like a dragon! I definitely recommend this place of you are looking for great sushi and even hibachi!

    Wow, how lucky am I to stumble across this amazing place across the street from my hotel and open…read morefor lunch!? On a Monday!? I rarely see omakase restaurants or izakayas open for lunch or on a Monday, so this was pretty exciting for me. I wandered in without a resy (I hear it is needed for dinner) and was seated at the bar. All three chefs were helpful and talkative. I ordered the chirashi lunch, and while I was assured it was enough to eat, I left myself open to future nigiri. I ordered an iced green tea to start, and it was served in a beautiful glass (see photo). It tasted like hojicha as it was roasty. First, I was served gomaae, blanched spinach in sesame dressing, which was very nice. Next was miso soup. The soup was lukewarm so not my favorite, but the presentation was nice. Then came my chirashi don: a small bowl with rice mixed with diced takuan on the bottom, an assortment of fish: masu (ocean trout), tai (sea bream), hamachi (yellowtail), akami (lean tuna), suzuki (sea bass), chutoro (medium fatty tuna), and o-toro (fatty tuna), accompanied with cucumber, shiso leaf, and thinly shredded daikon. While this was satisfying, the freshness and quality led me to try four additional nigiri: kinmedai (golden eye snapper) with lemon zest and charcoal salt, seared gindara (black cod) with yuzu miso, in-house cured saba (not on menu but glad it came up in conversation!), and for dessert, Hokkaido uni (also not on menu, but happened to be in and fresh)! Everything was fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. The service was wonderful too. I would love to return for dinner and enjoy the omakase experience (though it is available at lunch). Itadakimasu!

They also will ask a few questions to make sure your order is perfect ( checking to see if you like the standard veggies, which type of rice, or if you prefer noodles... ). If you order to go, it's ready fast. If you order for dine in, it's swiftly delivered all at once to your table. They have pepsi fountain products, but the iced tea isn't fresh brewed, so i got water. For dine in, it's delivered in plastic take out boxes. Neither my friend, nor I finished our entrees, so this was highly convenient. Our appetizers arrived with our entrees. I loved my Chicken Katsu. The Chicken was crispy, noodles were hot and perfect, and veggies hot, firm, and al-dente. I used a drizzle of the house teriyaki sauce on the chicken and it was Awesome! My friend got the double meat bowl with the spicy chicken and orange chicken. It was a very generous amount of protien. The spicy chicken was milder than I expected ( I'm a spice wimp ).

Every detail feels intentional, from the plating and presentation to the atmosphere itself. As someone who appreciates design, Noka absolutely delivers. Food-wise, there were two undeniable stars of the night: * Wagyu Nigiri (100/10) - One of the best bites I've ever had. 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.

First, the vibe is so intimate and cozy. Getting in without reservations is tough unless you go at an odd hour. And if they do let you in, don't test them on the your time limit. Be extra grateful and make it easy so they can seat the actual pre-reserved folks. The place is small enough and the service is nearly 2:1, so they'll definitely remember you. With that said, we tried it best to be on good behavior but that Sake flight had us feeling spicy! Which I'll speak to next, the sake flight delightfully surprised me, and gave me a few things I liked enough to order again. Did not expect that. But I shouldn't be surprised, they're obviously going to have something wildly well-curated, given the successful history of Anjin's creator. I know I'm supposed to talk about the food. But it almost feels pointless. It was obviously amazing. It's a small curated menu. They're famous for their sandwich, whatever rotation they're serving will be sure to please you. They didn't have a lot of vegan options on the menu so my friend got the cabbage dish and it was absolutely wonderful as well. That might be my only watch out if somebody is a vegan, check out the latest menu before going. With such a curated, small menu it may or may not be in a vegan's favor depending on the season. And if it's not, just drink more sake! Can't wait to return, especially with those visiting from out of town to give them an authentic, locally-owned experience.
