Best sushi in KC. You can’t go wrong if you eat here. Not only are the prices reasonable, but the food is outstanding. The waitress was excellent and all 3 sushi chefs were hard at work (you can watch them work).

Good, tasty sushi at a reasonable price. Happy hour bento boxes were big enough to leave us satisfied, though we might get individual pieces on their own next time! High recommends cause we will be visiting again!

While based on reviews, time, and distance, we were not going to go here, the wife and I certainly were. We are in town on a trip and wanted sushi. The only complaint we could have was parking which is not their fault.

We have had to come to KC twice from out of state for Dr’s appts. This place did not disappoint the first time, so we came back for our second visit. The sushi was GREAT, service was good and atmosphere was good. I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys sushi.

Our first time eating at Friends and it was awesome!! We both got the Sunset roll. He got the chefs plate, I got a Philly roll, sweet shrimp, and onion soup. He got Miso soup. All of it was fresh and tasted amazing. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had our drinks full. Average prices for sushi. We will certainly eat here again!

All the staff were very friendly, my waiter was maybe new to the job since he seemed a little nervous but he was very sweet and did great. The food is a 4.5/5, but it is hard to beat sushi this good at such a good price. I went during happy hour and got the salmon avocado and scallion yellowtail. The fish was definitely good quality, no fishy smells or metallic taste, great tender texture and the salmon especially was very fatty and rich with good marbling. I got the milky tea which was fine but the whipped cream on the top was a bit odd, and maybe would have preferred if they had asked me if i wanted whipped cream as I’ve never gotten whipped cream on my iced tea before. It was pretty good though. Everything was very affordable, it only ended up costing $23 after tip.

This place has a great balance of quality and price! My husband and I usually go there for when we crave fresh sushi. The eel, tuna and yellow tales are our favorite. Best bang for the bucks? Lunch bento $11.75 for two sushi, a roll, salad, soup and a choice of rice or egg roll.

I rated it 4 stars because I compare everything else to Bob Wasabi still! Always fresh, consistent quality here though.

David Preut
What a lovely place! Major kudos to the hostess— she was able to seat our party of six in 20 minutes on a busy Saturday evening. The server was attentive and friendly. The sushi was outstanding and fresh and the ramen was exceptional. Serving size and menu prices were a fantastic deal. Highly recommend if you’re in KC!

I wanted to get the veggie gyoza but the manager and the waiter were unaware of what the filling was. To avoid ordering something that might yield an allergic reaction I opted against the appetizer.
