Best Japanese Restaurants in Kansas City

We have been several times and have enjoyed our experiences each time! This last trip we were with our kids and had a great experience. We tried more adventurous items as well as some that we've fallen in love with before. The atmosphere makes you think you're near Chinatown somewhere, our servers have always been friendly and helpful with narrowing down the huge menu and the food is delicious! We've even gotten takeout in the past and it's packed very well and just as delicious! We highly recommend this as a quick meal or a wonderful, delicious experience with friends.

Great all the way around As the crowd builds pretty noisy !

Ocean Prime has now become my new favorite restaurant in KC. From the moment I walked in the door to the when the hostess flawlessly fulfilled my request for a booth to the ambience and special touches on the menu items (shrimp cocktail presented in dry ice!) to the filets that cut like butter. The coffee was presented in a french press and tasted delicious with our peanut butter pie dessert that was so decadent. We were craving another the next day. Our waiter, Jameson took great care of us all evening. This is my 4th time dining here and my husband’s 1st but we will be coming here in the future more often! Highly recommend.

Excellent meal especially the starters. Only minor beef was out of many specials.

Great drinks and quick service. Waitress was attentive. High price point compared to other cocktail bars around town, but still worth it. Only real knock is they seated us 15 minutes past our reservation time.
