    Oh yes, the first Yelp review! KC seems to be having a sushi renaissance , and what a great addition with Sushi Kodawari- a 15-course omakase restaurant located in the heart of the Crossroads. If you have never experienced an omakase meal, it is a pre-selected menu by the sushi chef/owner based on the freshest available fish mostly sourced from Japan, as well as what is in season. You've never had sushi until you've experienced something like this. The fish was so fresh and it was very interactive with the sushi chef as you watch him prepare each course and he engages with you about the overall process of sushi making. You eat each course as the chef wishes it to be prepared (so eat with an open palette!) A truly special dinner for those sushi connoisseurs like myself. Perfect for date night, special occasion, solo diner (myself) and just because. 8 spots per seating so make sure to get your reservations early! And future sake pairing coming too. Service was superb as well, Beth did it all! Final review: 5/5 stars, fantastic addition to the KC foodie scene. Obviously not for vegetarians (sorry not sorry)

    This is a great addition to the KC food scene. We were able to get a reservation for Sunday night. Chef Karson and Beth did not disappoint. Every course had the right attention to detail. We also got the wine pairing which was great. The setting is for 8 people per session - so a very cozy atmosphere. While a bit pricey (not any more than what omakase restaurants charge in other cities) it is worth the splurge.

    Chef Karson and Beth were amazing, as were each of the items on the menu. The entire experience from beginning to end was thoughtful, fun and most importantly, delicious. Cant wait to come back!

    This is the most thoughtful restaurant in the KC area right now. The ambience is a lovely Japanese…read morefarmhouse feel and the attention to detail is clear throughout the restaurant. Every menu item feels very intentional and well executed. The offerings on the cocktail menu are fabulous. Both the ube and lychee cocktails are delicious. My partner and his mom both had a sake flight, each offering was delicious and different in offering. If you like sake you will definitely find one you like with this flight! They both ended up liking a yuzu sake and split a bottle, the finish was sweet, crisp and perfect for the Kansas City heat. I started with an espresso martini, the coffee flavor was strong and sweet and I was a fan! During our meal I opted for a martini corner dirty vodka martini and as a dirty martini enthusiast I was very pleased and will continue to recommend! I finished off with a matcha martini that was sweet, creamy and smooth and paired perfectly with our tempura banana! Speaking of food, the star of the show, we genuinely had only good bites here as usual. We sat at the bar on the corner, it was a nice seat that captured the energy of the restaurant, busy but somehow tranquil. Our bartender was great as well as all the staff behind the bar and host stand! I especially appreciate the patience of our bartender, we came and ordered many rounds of small plates, (you should do the same!) and he was nothing but enthusiastic and helpful. To start we had some furikake fries and shishito peppers. There are a lot of exciting and multilayed dishes on the menu, I think these two humble sides though really pack a punch and show that everything on the menu brings it's A game. From there the food ordering escalated as everyone in my group was over the top excited. The stand outs for me were, the dry aged salmon nigiri, the toro hand roll, the crab apple roll and my group was especially blown away by the scallops and are still talking about them a week later! Noka is in my opinion, really bringing a new level of dining to Kansas City. I'm not over stating it to say it is one of a kind in this city and everyone should try to get in.

    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.

It was the perfect night to sit by the windows and watch the clouds roll in as a thunderstorm approached. The service was excellent. Our server, Jenna, was friendly, attentive, and quick throughout the entire meal, making the experience even better. The food was delicious. We ordered the lobster roll, Braised & Blue pizza, meatballs, oysters with caviar, and the chicken and shrimp yakitori. We also had a couple cocktails- Spicy Paloma and Pineapple Express made with reposado. Everything was flavorful and well prepared, but the lobster roll was definitely my favorite of the night. Between the stunning rooftop views, great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food, Prime Social made for a perfect evening in Kansas City. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend it for a date night, special occasion, or simply enjoying the city skyline with friends.

The food and drinks are a little pricey, but they were really good. This is definitely a place to relax, enjoy a cocktail, and take in the view. We were in the mood for something a little livelier afterward, so we headed to Westport. Overall, great atmosphere, clean, good service, and definitely worth checking out!
