If you haven't been here, you're missing out. While I was on my intense search for a solid sushi place (after moving here from St. Louis and Chicago --both have some really good sushi places if you know where to go) out here in KC, this was the one that stood out to me. It's become a staple in my dining out rotation and I come here frequently. Bob is seriously the chilliest guy, hilarious and skilled as all hell. He can slice a fish faster than you can say "Bazinga!"
Okay, I don't know if that's actually true, but the food is phenomenal. I always get a mixture of sashimi/nigiri and a few rolls when I come here. The miso soup isn't anything to write home about, but I'm here for the fish, so that doesn't matter too much to me.
While they don't have as many rolls as some of those other places you've been to, each of them is worth it. I've had a fair number of the rolls including: TNT, Unagi Mango, Hawaiian, Baked Hamachi, Rainbow, etc. They've all been delicious, massive, and lusciously decked out with ingredients. If you like some flavorful rolls, try them!
Now, THE SUSHI PURISTS. Yeah, I'm lookin' at you. Even if you don't like just fancy raw fish by itself or on rice, you should try it here. So fresh, tasty and it just melts in your mouth. I always check to see what they recommend for the day and have yet to be disappointed. I remember my first order of Toro there, mmmmmm. I died and went to heaven.
P.S. If you're feeling frisky and want a mid day drink, those sake bottles are some good choices and will get you feelin' loosened up and ready to not be productive. Haha
Great fun in the Power and Light District.
We're here for the KC Wine Walk.
The bars and restaurants in the district are all fantastic and the yard house is no exception. Unbelievable selection of beers on tap.
We live near by but don't come down often because of the crowds.
That will change now because the Happy Hours are numerous and the food and drinks are fantastic.
Start with the Yard House and you won't be disappointed.
Reservations are a prerequisite so don't come thinking you can just walk in.
We had Pepper Crested Filet as the appetizer for Wine Walk. lol some how I expected the filet to be fish??
Not. It was steak and it was amazing, tender and moist and full of flavor.
