I treated my friend to lunch at Mint Sushi this week, and we had a MARVELOUS time! From the outside, Mint Sushi is a modest storefront business in a strip center. But step inside the door, and you've entered an Asian teahouse that's welcoming and cheery. The walls are painted a bright mint green, with paintings of herbs and an entire wall of customers' photos celebrating their birthdays. The place is open and airy and the tables are spaced well so that one is dining in a communal place but can still carry on a conversation in some privacy. Shelly and Lin-Lin were our servers, and they were AMAZING! Shelly greeted us and was a most hospitable hostess; when we asked for a table nearer the windows, she was happy to oblige. Both Shelly and Lin-Lin guided us through the menu, answering our questions and giving us thoughtful recommendations for food and drink choices. Our meals were EXQUISITE! My friend had the Chrisnana roll and I had the lunch special of two rolls with onion soup. Both were plated beautifully; we took photos because they were utterly charming! The Chrisnana roll was delicious; the banana was surprising but melded with the savory sushi flavors. My California roll was a perfect blend of crab, avocado and cucumber wrapped in perfectly-cooked rice. And my Sweet Potato roll was mouth-wateringly delectable! There was a crisp topping on the roll which perfectly complemented the sweet smoothness of the potato filling. Both meals were reasonably priced and served quickly. When my friend and I lingered to talk, both Shelly and Lin-Lin checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed, but we never felt rushed to leave. They were so friendly and genuinely happy to have us join them at the restaurant--it was such a warm and welcoming experience! We'll definitely be back, and we'll bring more friends! Thank you so much for a delightful time! read more

I think the most disappointing thing about here is the Kani salad, in the northeast when you order it, it serves at least two people. However, the plating was nice. They did a fine job at that, I am out of town and I can only compare this to Mr. Sushi, and I would say that this place, while smaller, is better than Mr. Sushi, I would repeat. The server mistaken "green tea" for "cheese", hilariously enough. read more

Fast friendly service. Nice ambiance for a family or a date. And the food was amazing!

Hands down the best sushi in Lees Summit! Presentation, flavor and service are top notch and the atmosphere is calm with good vibes. We always try different rolls but always get edamame and crab Rangoon because they are consistently our favorites, they just do it right. If you customize your roll, they have no problem doing that as well. Very nice staff. This is our weekly go-to:) read more

Got this for carry out and was so very pleased! We had a big order, tried a lot of rolls and a few hot dishes as well, everything was absolutely delicious and one of the staff even pulled out all of my to go containers to ensure everything we ordered was accounted for, so nice! We will definitely be repeat customers now! read more

The sushi was very good and the presentation artful. The atmosphere is very plain, but every table was full which to me means that they focus all of their attention on serving good food. Our server was excellent. He was kind, prompt, unobtrusive, and got the orders exactly right. They can skip the complimentary fried dough dessert...it was not great. Just a minor detail. read more

Not pictured - volcano roll, which was amazing! Finally sushi, after 8 long pregnant months, I was finally able to eat sushi! Haven't gone to Mint Sushi. So my MIL decided for us to try it & it sure didn't fail! Safe to say, I'll be asking for more sushi tomorrow. Only thing my MIL noted was she tried to order for pick up & they stated there would be a pick up charge. So she went in to order in person. All of the 4 rolls were amazing, but I could have been good without the blaze roll. Add a side of ponzu sauce and it took care of business. read more

Mint Sushi - Python Roll, (middle) Spicy Yellowtail, (further) Blaze Roll - Japanese Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

I love this place for Sushi. I usually get a Thai tea and it's amazing too. I have noticed any time I eat the seaweed salad, I don't feel so good after. But that could just be me! There's plenty of seating and everyone is very kind. read more

Small sushi place. Busy so that's a good sign. I tried the Kani Mix, Tempura Red Snapper, Fall in Love Roll, and the Narita Roll. The Kani Mix was your standard Krab salad was nicely decorated plate with sauces drizzled around the plate. The Tempura Red Snapper was flavorful with the sauces, batter was a little thin. Both sushi rolls were quality ingredients and tasty. read more

This is probably the best sushi restaurant I've ever been to. The restaurant was quaint and almost empty so I wasn't sure what to expect. There was a bit of a language barrier, but my order came out perfectly. All the food I had was amazing!!! I had a lobster roll, a shrimp tempura roll, and a combo fried rice. My wife's food was excellent as well. She had the crab rangoon and the spider roll. She also had the plum wine. It was also delicious and I had the Bahama Mama. If I had any criticism it would be to add more alcohol to the Bahama Mama. Everything else was absolutely perfect!!! We'll definitely be back!!! read more

So very glad the dining room is back open! We have missed Mint so much and glad to make it back for the best rolls and service in the entirety of Lee's Summit! They added more seating space and beefed up the staff count! Mr James Special Roll is still on the menu and still delicious as ever! Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom. read more

Very consistent food and service. Haven't been let down yet. Fairly quiet and calm environment, kind employees. Not a huge building, and they don't ever seem to be super packed. Which is nice as a guest. Not sure how much business they get, but I definitely think they deserve more! I've tried a handful of Sushi places in town and this is hands down mine and my family's favorite! read more

Presentation on every dish has been a 10/10. Sushi is fresh, great texture, and creatively plated. The service was wonderful as well. I had a Cali roll, spicy crab and another and all of them were great!! read more

Tempura shrimp roll was soggy. Eel sauce is an extra charge. One of the two eel sauces was crystallized. I've had better experiences at Mint. Not this trip though. It was a to go order. Also, prices have gone up and rolls look smaller. read more

I love this place so much! Great cocktails, such creative sushi. I love all the fun flavors and ideas they put into their sushi and it tastes lovely. I just love this place! read more

Great little hole-in-the-wall that does a rip roaring take out business. Friendly, attentive staff. Food comes out quickly. I had the Black Dragon Roll, Daikon Maki which both were a beautifully presented and extremely fresh and delight to the taste buds. My partner is not a sushi lover and enjoy the red curry chicken. The appetizers, which are pretty much standard (good) crab rangoon and gyoza (pan fried) arrived at the table hot. The ambiance was fun. Pictures lining the walls of folks celebrating all kinds of occasions. Cute little strip mall favorite. read more

Mint Sushi has considerable competition in the area in the way of sushi-hibachi style restaurants - for Sushi and Sushi Rolls and Sashimi I would choose Mint Sushi. Super White Tuna Sashimi was cold and tasty! Super White Tuna Sushi excellent! I decided on some deep fried Rice Rolls that I enjoyed very much. A California Roll and a Crab Roll. Service and Food Presentation were Good. The Ambiance is simple and unassuming. I see your carry out business is good as well! Thank You Mint Sushi! read more

Do not let the lack of a physical sushi bar make you second guess a stop here. What an amazing find. I am a sushi junkie and find a sushi bar in every city I visit. This was such a great surprise. They have a TV hanging on the wall in the corner scrolling through their specialty rolls and dishes. They were served exactly as pictured. The fish was fresh, perfectly prepared and delicious. The lunch roll special would be hard to beat anywhere. The rolls are each 8 pieces and affordably priced as two or three roll deals. I will be back anytime I'm in the Kansas City area. read more

It's a nice little place with ample seating. I had plum wine and a rainbow roll. Fish tasted pretty fresh. Great service. read more

Mint Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

I always love ordering from here. The menu is large and has something for even the pickiest of eaters. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Even when I order it for pickup, it's still fresh by the time I get home. The Ramune is so refreshing and has tons of flavor options. The employees are always cheerful and friendly. The restaurant is airy and light, while still feeling cozy. The interior design is unique compared to typical sushi restaurants, in a pleasant and inviting way. I have no complaints about anything at Mint. If I could, I'd probably eat here everyday; it's that great! read more

My son and I had a great time. It was delicious. Quick service, clean environment, and friendly staff.

This is the only sushi place I like here. Recently moved from California and have tried maybe 3 different sushi places. I am so happy my search is over! I got the Thai tea which was really delicious! The servers were very attentive and polite! I didn't get a picture of the chicken and rice but they were also very delicious! Will definitely come back soon. read more

This place is amazing!! Best sushi around imo! My husband and I go here quite a bit and we've also tried their hibachi and it did not disappoint. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming as well! Love it here read more

Love this place! Very good sushi in a little place that you wouldn't expect. My wife and I have been here twice and will definitely go back! We have not had 1 roll that we didn't like. Great service, great food, and small and quiet. What more could you ask for? read more

We got take out sushi rolls and sashimi for 4 people and it was all amazing! The salmon sashimi was so fresh and buttery The tuna was also perfectly fresh. The eel roll and spicy tuna roll were soooo delicious! Service is great and very friendly We will definitely be back! read more

I hate to say I'm disappointed... but I'm disappointed. There were great reviews so I decided to try. Ordered to go and they quoted me 35 minutes until it was ready because they were busy. I come in and they say okay they're still working on that you can take a seat, I asked if they know how much longer because I got there 40 minutes after I was quoted 35. (I didn't ask with attitude, I work in the industry too so I was genuinely just curious.) They said okay we'll get it right out to you, and they had it out to me in less than a minute. So 5 stars for good service It was a tempura roll. Small, and that's okay. It was good However, if you're going to charge for spicy mayo- give me an amount worth charging for. They put it in the smallest ramekin known to man. It wasn't even enough for one roll, I had to get another just to finish my one roll of sushi lol. They charged me a dollar for maybe 1/4 an oz of spicy mayo Lastly, I start eating my edamame and none of it was hot. Most of it was still cold, and I'm talking like it just came out of the fridge cold, not like it had been cooked a while ago and sitting. I guess I could've caught them on an off night... it just made me sad because I was really excited for good sushi and for the price I paid, I wish I would've saved my money read more

First time trying it & it was great! We got the Boston Bay Roll & the Volcano Roll. We loved both of them! Crab Rangoon were pretty dang good too! read more

Mint Sushi - Tootsie Roll and two other rolls - Japanese Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

When you're in spaces like the Midwest, you really can't be too picky with the options for Asian dining. My friends and I were all craving some sushi before a big event so we drove out to the nearest spot for fishies. Low and behold, we stumbled upon this spot which features my favorite color- mint green! In fact, if you have a problem with the color green, then you may want to back away slowly. The interior here is littered with green accents. Mint Asian Cafe not only focuses on American sushi as their selling point, but they have a variety of Chinese influenced dishes as well. Their lunch specials were what attracted us initially. You could order three rolls for about $10 and it also comes with soup. Splurge a little further and you can opt into a stir fry with some rolls. My lunch plate came with a shrimp tempura roll, salmon roll, and tuna avocado roll. Each was fairly simple by design and tasted as I expected. While they weren't anything to rave about, the fact that the sushi was done well in an unlikely spot makes me a fan. I'd recommend trying out some of their specialty rolls since they delivered with the simple ones. Free parking is available in a massive dedicated lot outside. read more

Mint sushi may have some of the best sushi I've had in the KC area. We ordered the spicy crab salad and the crab stuffed jalapeños. They were absolutely delicious! When our sushi came to the table, the plate came decorated with the accompanying sauces. This attention to detail makes it feel like the person preparing the food truly cares about what is being served. The sushi was perfection in taste and presentation. The service was great and the atmosphere was super quiet which was amazing! I can't wait to come back and try more options on the huge menu! read more

3 words: Boston Bay Roll. Period. House salad and crab Rangoon are pretty good, too. read more
