My husband and I stopped in for lunch at Las Palomas this week, and it was DELICIOUS!…read more The restaurant used to be a BBQ joint - very dark - and they've completely redone the decor. Lots of windows, very light and airy and welcoming. Even the parking lot has been redone, with new blacktop and plenty of parking--with shade in the back (a plus in the summer heat)! The layout of the restaurant makes it easy for the servers to see who is waiting to order or pay their bill. I really liked how both servers filled in for each other to "share" customers; if one was free and an order was up, it was brought to the customer, even if that person didn't take the order. Great business model! No one had to wait and everyone received excellent service. The food was, again, DELICIOUS--very fresh and obviously homemade. The complimentary tortilla chips were homemade and crispy; the picante sauce was very mild. I ordered the shrimp chimichanga, and it was barely deep-fried (which is good, as I don't like heavily-fried foods) but light and tasty, with yummy shrimp and a soft, fresh flour tortilla. Next time I'll ask for a little less of the queso sauce, but it was still tasty. My lunch came with sour cream, guacamole, a lettuce and tomato salad, and rice and beans. The rice was definitely homemade--very light and very well-seasoned, as were the beans. And the guacamole was perfect! My husband had the lunch combo $5, and while he didn't say much he completely cleaned his plate, which is a testament to how much he liked the food. (He's pretty picky when it comes to Mexican cuisine.) We had a FABULOUS lunch and are SO glad that Las Palomas is in the neighborhood! We'll definitely be back! Thank you to the servers and the chefs for such a marvelous meal!

I was craving an authentic Lao meal, and I knew this was the perfect place to satisfy it. The sticky rice was perfectly cooked, the lemongrass beef packed just the right amount of spice, and the papaya salad was bursting with bold, umami flavors. Did I mention their crab Rangoon is also worth a try? And don't forget pork belly banh mi! Sitting at the bar made the experience even better. Watching the chefs work their magic was fascinating. They move with incredible speed and turning every dish into a flavorful masterpiece. I am very impressed. Highly recommend

The food options ranged from seafood boils, to birria ramen, fettuccini Alfredo and more. The variety makes this a great stop for an indecisive group who might want differ flavors.

Ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich for the second time and loved that the chicken was actually flavorful as if it'd been brined or marinated before being breaded. The fries were cooked perfectly (crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, not too oily). Definitely recommend.

We started off with the Jerk Wings appetizer which was very tasty and not too spicy.

The oxtail was perfectly cooked and literally fall-off-the-bone! We also had some Jamaican beef patties that are the best ones we've ever tasted! Just flaky enough and the meat was sublime! We even ordered more to take home! Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics of the Beef Patties. This is going to be one of the "must-go-to" places whenever we're in KC visiting our daughter!

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.

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.
