"This chic, modern chain located in KC’s Power and Light District boasts over 20 awards for their premium dining experience. Beautifully presented (and tasty AF) sushi rolls, delicious cocktails that pair perfectly with their entrees, and Happy Hour specials that make us jump for joy wins the Drunken Fish a place on our list."

"The perfect place to enjoy a paramount dining experience with sensational sushi and exquisite Japanese cuisine. Downtown/River Market/West Bottoms. 14 E 14th St, Kansas City, MO 64106"

"Pho at Vietnam Cafe/Photo by Caleb Condit and Rebecca Norden. If you’ve been resisting the cramped, always bustling environs of the Columbus Park Vietnam Cafe during the pandemic, never fear. They’ve quietly multiplied the space with a stylish renovation that took over the space next door, leaving plenty of room for appropriately spaced tables at what remains an extremely popular pho shop."

"Before working at Vietnam Café, owner Thanh Son did not know anything about running a restaurant. He didn’t know how to cook or the ins and outs of a restaurant business. In 1992, he immigrated to America and became a simple cook for a fast food Chinese restaurant."

"Located at 522 Campbell St. in Greater Downtown, the Vietnamese spot is the highest rated Southeast Asian restaurant in Kansas City, boasting 4.5 stars out of 576 reviews on Yelp."

"Friend makes a list for not only their fresh and delicious rolls and sashimi cuts but their keenly presented Bento Boxes. Yummy sushi rolls, these efficient and darling Japenese-style lunch boxes, and a cozy location on the trendy 39th street make this a popular spot for lunch and take-out. (Note, their space is small! Best to plan if you’d like to dine in.) Alongside a creative list of maki, veggie, and classic sushi rolls, dinner options here include a variety of Ramen and Udon noodle soups."

"I couldn’t leave off one of my new favorites, a charming hole-in-the-wall vibe in the Crossroads, new-ish to the neighborhood. While not strictly a sushi restaurant, they offer a full sushi and sashimi menu alongside various Korean eats (my favorite is the Bi Bim Bap Bowl). I had to make a last-minute addition to this cozy locale offering tasty sushi in a fun, creative location."

"Last but not least, there's Kobi-Q, a local favorite with four stars out of 128 reviews. Stop by 1531 Grand Blvd. to hit up the sushi bar, Korean and pan Asian spot the next time you're looking to satisfy your cravings.

"This small, dark-walled Pakistani restaurant on the quiet corner of Holmes and 59th streets in Brookside started out as a little factory for samosas: the lightly fried, savory pastries popular across the Indian subcontinent. After hearing from eager customers, the mother-son duo behind Chai Shai eventually gave in and pivoted into a full-scale restaurant operation. The small and simple digs belie the original intention to use the space for prep work."

"Chai Shai’s pakoras make the most of both texture and flavor. Grated potatoes, onion, spinach, chickpea flour and a blend of spices are blended into a paste that is fried into a super savory, crunchy fritter. They are pretty perfect on their own, served with mint chutney, but Chai Shai makes the little pakora a pretty versatile menu item."

"While they may not be a large restaurant or have a big menu, Chai Shai does what is does in gourmet style. One of our favorite places for a cozy lunch or dinner with a friend. Try: Pakora Wrap (lunch), Yellow Lentils, Gajar Aloo"

Numerous locals tipped us off to the fact that this is their favourite date night spot in the city. It’s likely due to the inspiring decor, intimate setting, and artisanal cocktails."

"Many people searching for a seafood dinner want to make sure they’re choosing a restaurant dedicated to sustainability. If this is what you’re looking for in a seafood restaurant, your best choice in Kansas City is Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar. Located on the Roanoke Parkway, Jax’s mission is to bring the coasts to the coastless by providing some of the best seafood you can find."

"They source all of their products from trustworthy and fresh sources—not to mention they were the first restaurant in Missouri to partner with the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch. If you’re down to try something new, get their Emersum Oysters. They developed it with the team at Rappahannock River Oysters to ensure complete sustainability and a delicious product."

"There’s nothing more breakfast-y than bacon, and First Watch takes this to the next level with its Million Dollar Bacon. Pork belly is hardwood smoked and seasoned with cayenne pepper, black pepper and brown sugar. Then it gets the big money treatment: a drizzle of maple syrup that’s caramelized to perfection to make it a sweet and savory treat."

"Just happened to try First Watch for breakfast while working in the North Kansas City area. It was outstanding ."

"Opened in 1998, the Classic Cookie & Café is a family-owned and operated eatery built from the ground up by Leslie Stockard, her children, and family members.
