The staff members were also friendly and attentive with their service. My favorite items would be the steak & the mini godzilla roll. The steak was juicy & soft, it felt like melting butter. The godzilla roll contained cheese, which made me curious & did not disappoint. I definitely would like to come back again!

He went to ichiban bc he wanted "better than gas station sushi". Second time giving this place a chance- BIG mistake! First time food was mediocre: soggy tempura and so-so sushi, but chicken tempura was passable. THIS time- omg, can I give a negative star? Chicken tempura was tasteless chicken chunks on a bed of brown gravy with ONIONS!!! Rice had a strange aftertaste and sushi was less than stellar. We had it takeout or we would have sent it back to the kitchen and demanded a refund! BROWN GRAVY with LOADS of ONIONS!!! We barely ate any of the food, it was so bad! Never again.

Hard to choose just a few items from their menu, but I went with the beet salad, the skewer platter, and finished it off with the soft serve. My favorite was probably the chicken heart skewer actually, so don't be scared to try this one! Everything was so delicious, simple yet really flavorful. Don't think you can go wrong with anything. Their Negroni was superb! Highly recommend, and will definitely be coming back. The service was exceptional!!

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.

My husband and I visited Noka for our anniversary, and from the moment we sat down, it felt like an…read moreexperience rather than just dinner. First, the aesthetics are an easy 11/10. 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.

Tomo had a range of items for sushi, with salmon, yellowtail, tuna, and other items from the chef's choosing. The salmon was definitely my favorite out of the items I tried. They also had toro as the special that night, and it was super tender and fatty. The seafood udon had a savory flavor to the broth and lots of veggies and fish cake. It tasted more like a fusion udon, but the broth wasn't too bad. Both menu items also came with some salad with ginger dressing and miso soup. I appreciated how friendly the waiter was, although the service was slow. Definitely take your time if dining here. Overall, it was a great stop on the way!

Jalapeño Poppers (SO good) Mother & Child Roll (ABSOLUTE FAVORITE, add cream cheese) - comes with seaweed, I get it without it. Really nice to-go containers, especially on large orders (you get a big round container with everything nicely placed in there). Some other sushi places make thin rolls, or make them appear big with the exterior rice. However, whether inside the roll, or outside, they do not cheap out and give you a good portion of actual ingredients. Highly recommend this place!
