It really is all about the happy hours and sushi, because they're great. Bring friends or a date. Modernly-designed with pleasant lighting. Has a nightlife scene that comes out after dark.
Paula MartinJuly 19, 2014Great choices at happy hour! Not on the happy hour menu, but my favorite roll is the forbidden apple. Crab, shrimp, apple, avocado, and peanut sauce. Delicious!
Mick BMarch 19, 2012The Vegas Roll and the Tsunami roll are the best in the city. Don't try the I-forgot-to-sign-my-check-to-avoid-paying-the-waiter-a-monster-tip trick, because they'll add it anyway.
Shannon LoyOctober 31, 2018Tried Pad Thai, good but a little spicier than I anticipated. I’ve heard the plum mojito is good!
Devon SchreinerJune 24, 2015The Mr. Lobster Roll is pretty good but we come for the atmosphere, great specials and live music. Wednesday is ladies night.
Jennifer HoxworthJuly 4, 2015Veggies & Tofu Temporary is wonderful. Spicy Tuna Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, & Temporary Tuna Roll are awesome.
Ladies night is a great deal! Come early and have a drink at the bar. Not all the specials transfer to the table.
Theresa O'LearyJuly 17, 2018They have a ladies night every Wednesday, specials 6-9PM. You will want to make a reservation.
Kuino GarzaJuly 12, 2013So decided to give another roll a try...jalapeno roll with cilantro and onion... U have to request that they add the onion and cilantro...
Victor VillaApril 15, 2017Atmosphere is the best in Kansas City but the quality of the rolls are not my favorite. They lack the simplicity of real Japanese food.
Sean FotoohiAugust 26, 2014Pretty good sushi. I imagine it will be even better when you eat during happy hours
Nikki AdamsApril 22, 2018First Friday fun. Body sushi and great late night happy hour. Reservations recommended
Hannah 'Garry' LechnerApril 7, 2013James and Nancy rock!! They are great bartenders, super fun and knowledgable! Also, get the calamari!
James MJune 21, 2012Crispy chicken spring roll is excellent. Pad Thai combo with shrimp, beef and chicken is amazing, a touch spicy
Charli BSeptember 30, 2013Tuesday is Ladie's Night, their reverse happy hour is awesome, and the atmosphere is chill.
Nara has the best food, atmosphere and SERVICE! in the area. So much better then the drunken fish a few blocks away.
ErinOctober 13, 2010Go for Happy Hour and sit on patio. Basic rolls, edamame, egg rolls and other goodies for just $3. Yummy martinis for just $5! Any other time and the price doesn't match the goods.
Olli KJuly 21, 2015I think I may have found a new Happy Hour spot I love! What's not to love about this place
BMI EliteApril 18, 2011Happy hour is definitely the best time to go. Try the Nara Cane martini, it's awesome and during happy hour it's only $5

Alicia ColetteJanuary 2, 2014This is my favorite sushi place. Amazing ladies night specials on Wednesdays.
SteveJuly 21, 2011You might not think this is the place to get a Ceasar Salad but it is really great. Get it to compliment your meal.
Go to Reverse Happy Hour starting at 10pm - limited but excellent selection of sushi, hummus and cocktails.- LA76September 26, 2013Sit by the big windows along the North. The view of downtown KC, MO is fantastic. BAM
Janet, Morgan, Coleen and Jeff are ALL awesome... if u Get anyone one of them uu will be taken care of....
Laura KellyApril 19, 2012Wednesday is ladies night and they have the BEST deals! Definitely try the jalapeno roll!
If you like spicy food try the pepperdew poppers during Happy Hour. They're delicious!
Happy Hour and reverse happy hour are excellent deals.
alli bApril 12, 2013sit @ the sushi bar... entertaining & sometimes they'll give you a special treat:)

Go during happy hours or reverse happy hours (10pm) and you'll get really good deals on the awesome foods and drinks there.
