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.

Very pleasant experience here. Food was good, service was great. Had some calm playing music.read more

I rarely see omakase restaurants or izakayas open for lunch or on a Monday, so this was pretty exciting for me. I wandered in without a resy (I hear it is needed for dinner) and was seated at the bar. All three chefs were helpful and talkative. I ordered the chirashi lunch, and while I was assured it was enough to eat, I left myself open to future nigiri. I ordered an iced green tea to start, and it was served in a beautiful glass (see photo). It tasted like hojicha as it was roasty. First, I was served gomaae, blanched spinach in sesame dressing, which was very nice. Next was miso soup. The soup was lukewarm so not my favorite, but the presentation was nice. Then came my chirashi don: a small bowl with rice mixed with diced takuan on the bottom, an assortment of fish: masu (ocean trout), tai (sea bream), hamachi (yellowtail), akami (lean tuna), suzuki (sea bass), chutoro (medium fatty tuna), and o-toro (fatty tuna), accompanied with cucumber, shiso leaf, and thinly shredded daikon. While this was satisfying, the freshness and quality led me to try four additional nigiri: kinmedai (golden eye snapper) with lemon zest and charcoal salt, seared gindara (black cod) with yuzu miso, in-house cured saba (not on menu but glad it came up in conversation!), and for dessert, Hokkaido uni (also not on menu, but happened to be in and fresh)! Everything was fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. The service was wonderful too. I would love to return for dinner and enjoy the omakase experience (though it is available at lunch). Itadakimasu!

Wow wow wow this place BLEW me away. I like to think of myself as a sushi connoisseur and I have…read morehigh expectations of what good sushi should taste like. This place absolutely met the mark. Ordered all my favorites for nigiri and they were some of the best I've ever had. I went right when they opened and didn't leave a review because the service was a big issue but they have drastically improved - service was impeccable. I will say it is pricey. We had 2 drinks and some nigiri and sashimi (we weren't stuffed) and the bill was $200 with tip. So it will have to stay a place I only visit on occasion but I'm very happy we finally have a top notch sushi place in kc!

I ordered the Hotel Cali roll. Others at the table tried the charred edamame, the crunchy LA, a tuna tower, the lion king roll and some sashimi. As for drinks, I enjoyed a sangria spritz, which had amazing flavor and not too much alcohol, pairing perfectly with my fish. The flavors in each and every dish on the table were clearly so intentionally implemented and I can't wait to come back and try more. Not to mention, the overall ambiance of the place makes for a fancy date night or the start of an evening with friends. The vibes were immaculate. Our server was kind, very knowledgeable on the menu and attentive to some table allergies which is always appreciated. I will 100% be back!

The lobby area is very outdated and could definitely use some renovations. On a positive note, the lady at the front desk was very nice and informative, which I appreciated. We ordered the kids' teriyaki chicken meals with zucchini only, and I got the teriyaki shrimp and chicken combo with zucchini only as well. The shrimp were the small baby shrimp, and I was expecting regular-sized shrimp, so that was disappointing. Overall, the food was pretty bland. I had to take it home and add my own seasoning to make it better. My grandma did enjoy her meal, though. One thing I liked was that they serve bottled water instead of faucet water that was a nice touch. Unfortunately, between the bland food and the outdated atmosphere, I don't see myself returning
