"A post shared by Two Light KC (@twolightkc) on Jun 18, 2019 at 10:05am PDT. The last but not least of excellent rooftop restaurants to try in Kansas City is Drunken Fish. A paradise for Japanese food lovers, Drunken Fish offers mouthwatering Japanese fares from sushi and sashimi to noodles and soups."
"Trendy outpost of a small chain serving sushi & Japanese plates paired with sake, beer & cocktails. Leawood/Overland Park/Prairie Village. 4705 Rainbow Blvd., Westwood KS 66205"
"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."
"Welcoming and casual, Friends offers a range of sushi & hot Japanese cooking, plus tasty lunch specials. 39th Street/Westport/Midtown. 1808 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO 64111"
"When Jarocho owners Carlos Falcon and Sayaka Gushi Falcon opened Sayachi in Brookside, they brought their own brand of Japanese-inspired sushi and seafood dishes to the neighborhood. Order sushi to start – you won’t find a better selection of fresh fish in Kansas City – and then move to other dishes like baked live lobster, seasonal grilled fish or Japanese boneless fried chicken. With a full bar stocked with beer, wine, sake and a full cocktail menu, you can toast to the combination a nice glass of sake paired with sushi platter on a covered patio."
"As a native Mainer, I am always thrilled to find legitimately good seafood in the Midwest. I’m also a huge fan of sushi. Sayachi not only has amazing sushi and other Japanese-inspired food but their cocktails are delicious."
