Johnny C's Deli & Pasta of Kansas City

If you're a Sicilian woman like me, you don't hand out food praise lightly. We were raised on real…read moreflavor, real bread, real portions--and Johnny C's Deli in Kansas City gets it. From the moment you walk in, it feels like stepping into a neighborhood deli back in Northeast. The smell alone tells you you're in the right place. The sandwiches? Huge. No skimping, no shortcuts. The meats are sliced right, the bread actually has character (crispy where it should be, soft inside), and everything tastes fresh and intentional. I ordered an Italian steak, and let me tell you--this is the kind of food that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. Perfect balance of meats, cheese, oil, and seasoning. Nothing overpowering, nothing missing. Just right. The staff is warm and welcoming, like they actually care if you enjoy your food (which matters). It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable, not rushed, and definitely well-fed. Johnny C's isn't trying to be trendy or fancy--it's doing what matters: good, honest deli food done right. If you're craving something that feels authentic and satisfying, this place delivers. I'll be back. And if I'm coming back, trust me--that's saying something.

We had the focaccia and burrata to start, then the spicy vodka radiatori and a special pasta with a cream sauce since we don't eat pork. We finished with the Amaro date cake which was absolutely stellar! We can't wait to be back. Two things that could be improved: the space is quite tight and we were almost touching elbows with the table next to us. I hope to see this wonderful establishment expand someday! There were also quite a few pork based entrées and pastas on the menu, but we were very grateful the staff was able to substitute another pasta for us so we weren't left with only one pasta option to choose from. It sounds like the menu is seasonal and changes throughout the year, so hopefully there will be more options next time. Overall, we had a wonderful time and hope to snag another reservation soon!

There was nothing on the floor or trash anywhere. They do have it blocked off for carry out or delivery only. But I want to talk about the food. Twice I've ordered the General Tso's chicken, eggrolls, egg, drop soup, and the Chinese donuts. What you see pictured here is the Happy Family meal with fried rice, small egg, drop soup, and Chinese donuts. The egg drop soup is good but may be a little watery for some. The egg rolls are crunchy. The General Tso's chicken is inviting to your palate. And you just can't go wrong with fried rice. The Chinese donuts are always soft with just the right amount of sugar and are highly addictive. I enjoyed the Happy Family and the scallops and the shrimp were a nice addition. I happen to find their food delicious and quite comparable to other Chinese restaurants in the area. Give them a try and decide for yourself.

I always enjoy coming here for the sushi, as they have so many great combinations that are fresh and dimensional. I normally get the Sexy Roll, but this time I tried the Hawaii Roll with seaweed paper instead of soy. The mango paired with both salmon and tuna takes the cake. I would've loved if the spicy mayo was an eel sauce, I feel like the flavor balance would've been more rounded this way. The service is outstandingly quick, as it took only around 5 minutes after ordering to get our two dishes. I remember it was this quick last time as well with more orders. We had the same waiter as before, as I remember his humor and welcoming nature. This location is always very clean and professional. The ambiance of Fortune Wok is casual dress in an elevated, moody setting, but the hostesses did stick out to us. All the workers are professionally dressed and they were in T-shirts and shorts, which seemed out of place for a mid-scale, quiet restaurant. As for fried main entrees, the flavor is full, spicy and crave-worthy. Sometimes the meat can be chewy, so this is the reason I took it down to 4. More consistency and I could easily see this becoming a 5.

As others…read morehave mentioned the prices are definitely steeper than other Chinese restaurants around here, but the food is good. That being said, we would never get sushi here again. We ordered three rolls. They were about on par with anything that would come from a grocery store. The rice Was not the correct texture, the fish was minimal, and the rolls were expensive for what they were (spicy salmon and California). Crab Rangoon and shrimp salad appetizers rolls were good... so anything from the regular menu is fair game. Just skip the sushi.
