Kura Revolving Sushi Bar

We were really really excited to visit this new sushi house on the Country Club Plaza. Service was amazing as the conveyor belt and robots did most of the work. If the item you wanted was not on the belt then it was very easy to order from the tablet at the table. After ordering the food came out quick on a special belt above the revolving one. Speaking of belts... this was the draw. The restaurant had that self serve Asian feel we all see in the online videos and the delivery robots were amazing to watch. Now for the two star news... the food wasn't the best. I would say its right up there with gas station sushi. Now I didn't have everything on the menu ( e.g. the Ramen or udon), but the sushi was okay. In the end its a fun place to enjoy a meal by yourself or with a small group of people. As always don't take my opinion for it, but if ya do go tell them The Damian sent ya!

What an experience—fresh and fast, A sushi ride that’s built to last! I’ve done the conveyor thing before, But this one left me wanting more. Each plate that passed was pure delight, Fresh and flavorful, every bite. The vibe was clean, the setup tight, And robot servers? Pure highlight. If sushi’s your thing and you want some fun, This spot’s a must—you won’t need a second one. A dining adventure, thrilling and new, I’d go again—maybe bring a crew!

03/2025: 2nd time trying and it was still good! We sat further from where the food was put on the sushi bar this time, and found ourselves seeing lots of empty plates. Eventually we just ordered from the tablet. 02/2025: The food on the revolving sushi bar was all great. Ordered the fried squid, it had good flavor - but was too chewy. The fried shrimp was good - but two pieces for over $8, wouldn’t recommend. Each plate off the bar is $3.40. The wait times were very long. Not sure if it was entirely worth the wait. There is a tablet you can order from, at any time. Plus, a robot that brings you drinks/sauce etc… They have a “gum ball” style machine that drops “prizes” at your table during dining. Inside is little keychains, Lego building packets, etc… Very fun entertainment wise. Overall, I’d go back for the revolving sushi bar options and the experience. It’s handicapped accessible, but when busy, it’s a very tight entry space. Note: The setup is not meant for parties of 4 of more.

Really cool sushi bar. If you’ve never been to a sushi place with a conveyor belt, I would definitely recommend it for a fun date night. I tried both sushi they had readily available that went around and also directly ordered from the tablet as well. The sushi isn’t the best you’ll have, but for the price and experience, it’s a really fun time. My personal faves here were the spider hand roll, takoyaki, and the fried squid. Also there’s a robot that brings out your water!

It’s a great place for a new experience. I felt like I walked in off the streets of Kansas City into Korea. The atmosphere literally to me to a different place for the afternoon. They are very welcoming to everyone entering the front door. The little robot servers are really cute and the human staff are friendly and very helpful. It’s basically self serve from your personal computer. I tried sushi I would have never tried anywhere else and I was not disappointed. Everything I tried was really good. You must try it!!!

Awesome place and unique idea- small sushi plates like small sample sizes. Not a total price where you have to worry about eating what it's worth- you just pay for what you eat! There was plenty to go around. Robots bring your drinks and wasabi out to you. Staff was very fun and everyone sweet and helpful, especially with it being your first visit.

The sushi was decent. The experience was great, our son loved the ability to grab food as it passed by. The smaller servings made it easy to try lots of different items. Each dish was fairly priced. $3.40 a plate was great. The hostess was friendly, the wait was worth it. Be sure to download the app and check in early if it’s busy.

I visited Kura in Kyoto and Osaka and loved it, so I had to visit when I heard one opened back home. Its the same thing, so of course it's great. The worst part is that 20 plates (for 2 ppl) cost $20 in Osaka while here I paid $70 to get 13 plates for myself and a beer

I loved this idea of a revolving Sushi bar. They had a variety of options to choose from so that was a win. The revolving bar had very little to choose from. It was empty for a long time before anything popped up on it. We then had to order from the menu and wait for food to arrive. Honestly it took a long time for the food to be made and the portions were small. The Sushi had 3 pieces each (the exception was the California Roll with 4 pieces). I went with my 4 kids so us staying at least an hour and a half was not ideal. However we loved the food and couldn't order enough. Honestly it took so long for the food to be made we just had a few snacks before we had to leave. My kiddos can't last that long in a restaurant. I managed to grab like 2 photos due to my rowdy group. Service was really not existent. That was not a huge deal for us. I place was completely packed which is why it most likely took so long to get food. I would go back again.

I am from Phoenix and I don't know if I have a certain expectation of sushi but this wasn't it. There were weird spices and the fish was sub par. The experience was cool though. Cool robot with drinks and wasabi.

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar has been an experience that sits on the fence with my friends and I. I want to focus on our dining experience rather than the quality of food and the environment in which we were welcomed. We got there a little past 8 pm on the weekend and ended up waiting over an hour for a seat, which left us about 30 mins to "enjoy" our meal. I don't know if this was an outlier or if most weekends are packed like this, but we were also so surprised they close early on the weekend for such a popular dining establishment. When we were seated, the waiter was pretty cool, and a cute robot delivered our drinks! Ipad-looking consoles were utilized to put in our orders, and we all sat next to a conveyor belt that would slide the orders out. We really couldn't savor the food since it was more so gulping everything down in a few bites and mashing the iPad to order as much as we could within our limited time frame. What was disappointing was the inability to order via our waiter because our console was just slow. I missed out on their desserts. As someone from the NYC/NJ area, I have no comment on the difference in the quality of seafood. I mean, it's expected to be different; regardless, it was good. Overall, it's an excellent, gimmicky restaurant. Want to enjoy sushi with some fun twists when ordering and being served? I'd say give this place a try at least once. Definitely a fun experience!

Went with the kids after Christmas caroling on the plaza. Spur of the moment decision, very short wait. Atmosphere was electric, so much going on and it was such good food. You pay by the plate and you get "rewards" if you use enough plates. Very easy to use the conveyor system, kids really enjoyed it. It was a little expensive but really worth it to see how much fun the kids had. And the good was really good.

It's my first time at this location. We just walked in and got seated promptly. I enjoyed the ambiance, and staffs were polite. You basically do everything yourself. They have robot waiter delivered water and wasabi to your table. You can pick a plate on the conveyor belt or order from the tablet and it will be delivered to you. You will receive a random prize from the mascot, Mutenmaru once you inserted 15 sushi plates. We got some cute key chains. Nigiri quality is decent, not as good and is more expensive than in Japan. I didn't like the uni here, it had a bitter after taste. Beef udon was decent. My favs here were seared scallops and sweet shrimps.

If you're looking for a little preview of Japan, Kura is the place to go! A little revolving sushi place just like in Tokyo with touch screens for ordering and a little robot that brings your drinks. It's very tight spaces, as it would be in Japan, so if you're looking for a chill relaxed setting this isn't it! Each sushi plate is priced at $3.40 with about 4 pieces each plate. It adds up quick, but it's a decent little place! Nothing fancy, but gets the job done. You even get a little toy when you're done! Will be going again if I'm ever in the area!

Funny enough, I've tried Kura Sushi in Taiwan and Japan but never in the US due to long lines elsewhere. Maybe I came on a good weeknight or they've ironed out lots of things since they opened, but I had a great experience. Got seated quickly, staff was friendly and quick to refill waters, and sushi was decent (not fishy, didn't get sick afterward, rice didn't fall apart). My favorites were the negitoro hand rolls, yellowtail, and salmon. The yukhoe was the most lackluster. $3.30 for most items isn't unreasonable, especially for the handrolls. I didn't want to try anything else on the menu and be disappointed so if I come back I'd still stick to the fish. My only gripe was the taiyaki which was deep fried and tasted similar to Chinese fried donut sticks. Still on the hunt for a proper taiyaki in the area (so far the best has been my own homemade ones...). I love that you can pay separately at the end if you pay on mobile. Tapping and item to split it is the best thing ever without having to call staff over. I will say it's easy to spend a lot here. I ended up spending about $40 and had 10 plates of sushi + dessert.

It was my SILs 30th birthday, so we came here to celebrate as she used to live in Japan and frequented Kura there. There was 6 people in our party, which the restaurant isn't really set up to accommodate properly. We were packed in because we didn't want to separate - but I wouldn't recommend coming here with more than a party of 4. The sushi train is probably the best in KC based on the variety of options offered & ability to custom order on the tablet. The animations when putting plates in the little slot were awesome and prices here were very reasonable for what you get - and better than other sushi train options in KC. If it's your first time please ask a server to show you how to grab the plates, my husband grabbed one wrong and fish eggs flew everywhere Overall a better experience than I expected. It was clear the restaurant is understaffed which is unfortunate, as half the restaurant couldn't be seated due to the issues and one of the bathrooms was out of order while the other wasn't the cleanest. We also did not receive waters and it's definitely a minimal service experience. I think this is such a unique addition to the plaza so it was a bit disappointing to see. The sushi was great and I would definitely come again with a smaller party.

FYI I'm not a sushi eater or big on seafood so I took my friend with me to try this place out since we had heard good things. To start, we went here on Friday night which was Valentine's Day. The wait wasn't bad at all, maybe 20 minutes without a reservation. The checkin process was easy, simply enter your contact info in the tablet at the door and get a text when your table is ready. One we were seated they explained how everything worked, ordering food and drinks, discarding used dishes, and requesting specific items. The entire concept is really cool and it's definitely a unique experience wasting at a place like this. You can either take food from the lower conveyer belt that continuously runs with random items or you can use the screen to order specific things directly to your table. Everything came out very quick and my friend said it all tasted great. Fresh quality ingredients and at good prices too. The robot drunk server was also a cool novelty you don't see everywhere. I highly recommend if you love sushi or just want a cool place to check out.

The food was amazing ! And bunny the server was wonderful ! She was super attentive. I definitely recommend

Sushi was okay, little spendy for how much food you are getting. Service left much to be desired, I don't enjoy having to call for a server through a screen. You really are paying for the conveyor belt experience. Biggest thing for me was lack of cleanliness. Floors were sticky, tables, and napkin dispensers had soy sauce everywhere. We also were there right at open! Conveyor also briefly stopped working during our lunch... fun interactive experience, but won't be a consistent sushi stop unless requested for special events or out of towners.

My wife invited me and her two kids to Kura sushi, a new restaurant designed to deliver a true Japanese experience where the sushi is delivered by a conveyor. I've never been, and being a techy type, I was excited to say yes. We entered to find an Amazon warehouse of belts and conveyors delivering sushi from the kitchen to the diners. Then, from nowhere, I see a robot glide past with a smiley face on the screen and drinks in its back being delivered to each table. With more gadgets and gizmos than your average adult toy mega store, I once again became excited, but this time to finally get sat down, and start enjoying the experience. There was nowhere to stand while waiting. People were cutting the line to check on reservations, and the front areas seemed to harken more to a traffic jam in Italy than the automation and organization becoming of Japan. After a short 40-minute wait, we were shown to our table where the lady explained how to order, how the robots delivered drinks, how to pull a plate out of the sushi delivery capsule, which conveyor was for general food, which delivered A La Carte food, how to call for her help if we had questions, and finally how to pay. After the "ins and outs" of the sushi delivery Ted talk, we started to get our drinks order put into the control panel. We waited some 20 minutes, and a 3ft high pygmy robot arrived, quietly whispered something that none of us heard over the noise. It turned its back to us exposing our drinks order and I proceeded to remove the rather sticky cups from its rather sticky backend and realized that judging from the shiny area where the cups were sat, it's acceleration and deceleration was set to "spill" mode and thus our drinks are now 70 percent full and very sticky. It was at this time I realized the table for four must have been specially designed and made for this restaurant by Mattel as the partially filled sticky cups that were delivered by the shy pygmy robot had taken up much of the " my first table" space. I also noticed that 3 out of every 5 sushi capsules were already opened, and we were located at the end of the general delivery conveyor. So instead of waiting for the food I wanted to randomly appear, like a contestant on a TV game show, we would order exactly what we want on the other conveyor and off we went again into the control panel for "a la capsule" ordering. We did finally have a couple of capsules with sushi come past on the general conveyor and tried frantically as they passed to remove the plate from the capsule before our window closed. But we were unssuccessfull and suddenly, our sushi day turned into a hunting expedition, with only a few seconds to decide, target, pull the trigger, and hope our food doesn't get away. The sushi hunting, shy pigmy moomba, sticky cups and barbies kitchen table were all becoming a bit much of a gimic for me, I just wanted to eat sushi. I had been there over an hour at this pont but not to be a downer for the children, I worked to be happy like all perants at Disney, you do it for the kids while they enjoy the show. Finally, we got a plate to give up its will to remain in its life support capsule ( at least the fight felt that way), and I have to say I wished it would have won the battle. Such dissapiontment was not worth the fight. The plate was not clean, the spoon for the soup had a huge lump of crud on it, and the shrimp atop the rice was almost transparent. Most of the plates were not clean, and I suddenly found myself asking if all these capsules were cleaned as they go around and around all day, I tried the translucent shrimp and it tasted as it looked, insipid, void of anything but rubbery chew, and sorely disappointing. We wanted more drinks, but you can not order refills on the console or you get charged, so we had to call for help, and the lady took our refill order and just like the hyper efficiency of japan withing 15 minutes the shy, pigmy, drink spilling moomba delivered 65 percent of the drinks we needed. I didn't eat anything else, I was done. So I waited for the others to achieve their own peak levels of dissapiontment, and we took another three birthdays of time trying to pay the $130 bill for four people at the console. There is a cheaper way to have the same experience. Go to your local grocery store that sells the pre-made sushi, the kind that makes you feel "risky" when you pay ( same quality foods). Get in the longest line at self check out (same waiting time) then place the food on the conveyor ( same delivery system) and watch it move ( same amount of wow factor) and finally, eat it in your car in the parking lot ( same level of table space) and actually you'll gain, as you save having to tip ! By all means, take your kids and let them have fun, but I'm going down the street to friends sushi, consistent, good quality, low noise, and all of that for the same price, in half the time and without a moomba in site.

We had an amazing experience for a Thursday lunch at Kura in the Plaza. The staff was very friendly and explained the process really well to us. There were plenty of options on the conveyor belt to choose from and we ordered some additional items that arrived straight to our table very quickly. Our drinks were delivered by a cute little robot as well. Their billing process is easy as all the plates on the belt are one price and you insert them in a slot at your table which automatically tallies them. We ate a lot of different items and our bill was really reasonable. Definitely don't skip the taiyaki fish with ice cream dessert before you leave!

My husband and I walk through the Plaza almost daily and this place is always hopping. We stopped in for dinner and now we understand the popularity. Once seated, you are in control. Sushi and other menu items pass by on a conveyor belt and you simply take what you want. You can also order dishes from the menu via an ipad at your table and it will come to you on the upper conveyor belt. Your drinks are delivered by a friendly robot, though refills are provided by human servers. Most items are only $3.50 per plate and as you finish eat plate, you drop in a little shoot at your table. We had so much fun trying all sorts of different things. The place is bright and clean and we will definitely go back!

Very inflexible and poor service. When arriving - and there was nobody in line - instead of just seating us - yes there was a table open, the host insisted on us signing in on a screen. We then got checked in and she wanted to seat us at a poor table - when I asked about an empty table that I liked better - the answer was - I don't have anyone to clean the table - even though nobody here seemed to be busy. When we finally sat down, I asked for wasabi - but was told we would have to wait for our drinks to come out - and the wasabi would come together with the drinks. If the drinks would just come quickly...which didn't happen - this would have worked. Food decent - but service poor.

I am so excited that they opened a Kura in KC! I've been to the ones in CA and the quality was amazing. This is pretty much a self service restaurant. They even had a robot rolling around serving drinks! You could pull from the revolving bar or order from the touchscreen. I have found that the nigiri we ordered from the screen has been fresher than the ones that are revolving as they are not sitting out until someone takes from it. Overall, the fish was pretty fresh! There are options for cooked foods like ramen, rolls or udon. Everyone in was in their own booths pulling from the bar, so it was a nice place to chat with others or even dine alone! I wouldn't recommend going with a larger group since the booths seem like it can fit 4-6 people max. I also found that since the portions are smaller, it was really easy to keep pulling from the bar or ordering more food, so it got expensive quickly. Otherwise, it was amazing sushi and overall cute vibes!

Alright, I ended up trying this place again for the second time in a week. This time, I put my name on the waitlist in the app. 133 minutes, ok great. I get to the restaurant when it's time and check in immediately after I get my text. And somehow... I still had to wait in the restaurant for 40 minutes. I dined solo this time. At about the 30 min mark, I was getting restless so I went to check with the host to see where I was on the list. She immediately told me had she know I was dining solo, she'd had seated the most recent bar group at their own table, and that I was third in line. How do you not know as the host that I am dining alone, and I was not third in line. I waited for five additional tables to be seated before it was my turn. If the food was rated on its own, I would give it a 2/5. If this was being served at a sit down Japanese sushi restaurant, the rating would be low. But this place includes a fun dining experience, and the novelty of it all is pretty catching to the eye. My favorite is the umami oil salmon sashimi. And their fried octopus. I love that they serve fresh grated wasabi. Everything else remains a solid 2/5. Their miso soup is sour and I'm not sure why. This will be my last time here for a while, until the hype dies down a bit anyway. Who has time to be waitlisted for nearly two hours only to have to wait inside the restaurant for another 40?

I had a fun experience eating here with some friends. Definitely not a space for a big group but a smaller one or a date would be perfect. I think the prices are reasonable for what you get, it's decent enough sushi for the location, price, and experience. My favorite roll was the red dragon roll followed by golden crunchy salmon and salmon garlic ponzu nigiri. You get drinks from the robot but the employees there helped us kindly with questions.

What a fun sushi time. I love the pop-up containers that keep the sushi fresh and safe while on conveyor belt. The drink robots are fun as well as the computers you can order from if you don't see what you want on the conveyor belt. This was my 3rd time here, and I will be back.

Kura sushi comes to KC straight from Japan - with 500 locations in its home country and over 50 (and counting) locations in the U.S.. If you have your heart set on trying the revolving sushi experience - then this is for you. I found the first time experience somewhat overwhelming - a bit of a learning curve - and would personally rather just order off a menu and have my food delivered to me straight up. But it's always fun and exciting to experience a new and interactive concept. The booth we were sat in felt private and spacious enough to enjoy and explore many plates. And the staff was as helpful as they could be being that it was opening day. The food itself didn't blow me away and that's where I think it's more about the overall new experience and restaurant concept than the food itself. To be fair, I am so used to (and enjoy) Americanized sushi that I might not be understanding/appreciative of this more traditional/authentic sushi concept.

Download Their App. Check the wait times, join the list, be patient. We joined the wait-list on the way to dinner, we got a notification to check in as we were parking and we waited 5 minutes in the restaurant after we checked in. Several parties got skipped over because they had not completely arrived ( they only sit completely arrived groups). They don't accept reservations and they are busy.... It's a very fun experience. The Sushi is good, plenty of variety. I don't think they serve alcohol ( I ordered hot tea ). Make sure to take advantage of the made to order options! They have a second conveyor belt and arrive fresh! The Ramen is ok The Tempura Softshell Crab is excellent The Taiyaki ( Red Bean paste filled fish ) and Ice Cream is fantastic. And ice cream Mochi are delicious. The 2 of us spent over $100, it's easy when the plates are right there and it's fun to order!

We had a delightful experience that will keep us coming back. All the food we tried, we all liked. The with the numerous selections, we'll have to return to try more. The portions were also perfect. Fresh wasabi was tasty. I stuck with just items on the conveyer, my brother and SIL ordered a few things from the menu and let me try too. I was very happy that they had iced roast rice green tea too. My SIL and I enjoyed the Hokkaido milk tart off the conveyer. They also had New York cheesecake on conveyer. My brother really liked his mochi donuts with ice cream. We thought their concept in service was very efficient and easy. They teach you how to grab the plate from the conveyer and a plate deposit at your table for the conveyer plates and counts them on a tablet at your table. You order drinks or special dishes on the tablet. To get drink refills, you hit the call button and ask the server. Robots deliver your drinks. A separate conveyer for orders deliver special orders. Checkout is on the tablet as well. It gives you the option to pay server or tablet. We were in and out very quickly. The atmosphere was cute and booth where we sat felt intimate. Like being in our own little space to enjoy ourselves, which we did. We all agreed it was a great experience and would love to be back to tried many other dishes. I highly recommend giving them a try.

If you're only going for the experience it's probably worth going here. If you're looking for quality sushi, I would suggest going to a different sushi restaurant. We checked in online and it was about 1.5 hours before we got the text that said to come check in at the host stand. We were right around the corner so we went and checked in right away, but despite checking in right away we had to wait ANOTER 50 minutes before being seated. The whole point of the text system is to prevent having to wait in the restaurant for long periods of time. It's a fun idea with the train and little robots that bring drinks, but the restaurant tables are so close that the robot kept getting stuck. The system for plates ordered being delivered directly to the table from the kitchen on the platform above the train is super convenient. In my opinion the quality of the sushi is lacking. All of the nigiri I tried was disappointing and seemed to be very low quality fish. The rolls were mostly sauce and very small pieces.

Not sure what the hype is. Not worth it. This place is a hard no for me. I am a sushi snob. My biggest pet peeve is sushi falling apart. And that is literally what happened to every single pieces of sushi we had tonight. The rice was hard. Almost tastes like leftover rice. Lot of rice and very thin piece of fish. While they have many selections and you can't beat $3.20 per plate, the quality is definitely not there. We spent $70 here for two. We could have gone to a normal sushi restaurant and gotten much better quality sushi for the same amount, if not more. We left a tip because we are tippers. But if you think about it, it is almost like self serve fast food type of place. You order from the tablet above your table. Food is delivered on conveyor belt and by robots. Server only came by once to refill our water. Not sure if there is much for them to do because everything is self serv. Definitely will not come back. Lack of customer service and poor quality sushi.

We went to Kura for date night Friday. The service was pretty fast and they have an adorable robot. The ambiance was very upbeat. The concept is very fun and interesting, but the sushi was just okay! It was nice to be able to see the rolls right in front of you. The octopus was very very chewy, but the Real Crab California Roll was my favorite. The cheesecake was surprisingly delicious as well. Overall it was fun to experience. I think everyone should go once.

Definitely the first revolving sushi restaurant close to downtown KC and I would recommend checking it out! You will wait for alittle while because it just opened up but I think they are still figuring things out. With the wait, there are plenty of shops to check out and spend the time before sitting down to eat. Made in KC is right around the corner and awesome! It's fun to hang out and watch the food going around the sushi train, especially trying some of them. Expect a wait, but the staff was handling it really well and props to the front check in host Billy!

Location: Country Club plaza. Kansas City Ambiance: futuristic. Tokyo like. Family oriented. Food: sushi was delicious, overall fresh Ramen was underwhelming. Not recommended. Desserts were awesome. Service: It took us close to 3 hours to be seated. The problem is a little complex. First is the hype. Too many people wanted to try this place for the first time. I was standing there for almost 3 hours and trying to see things that could be improved. Once customers from a specific table leave, it takes them 10 min or more to seat new customers. That is just not efficient. That is something they can control and work on. How long customers stay at the restaurant can't be controlled. But once a table is available, it should take no more than 2 or 3 min to have new customers seated. From my end, I did not use the waitresses thar much, I paid using Google play through the screen. Yelp factor: Yes, this is a cool place, is different. Futuristic. I would definitely come back

Kura is one of my favorite Sushi spots in America. I travel all over and try to visit a Kura location if there is one in the area. This Kansas City location is by far the best I have been to so far. Cindy, our server, was super friendly and helpful with my colleagues as they were new to the concept. This location is in a super cool area of Kansas City as well. Overall check this place out next time you are in the area. And make sure you get a Garlic Skipjack Tuna. It's by far my favorite item on the menu.

Food (4/5): The food was delicious and I love how you can try multiple items by getting smaller portions. Ambiance (4/5): The sushi train is such a fun experience as always. However, my only critique is that the space is pretty tight. If you have a party of 4+ it is hard to sit together and most likely will have to sit separately. There isn't a large waiting area either so it gets a little cramped. Service (5/5): The staff was super welcoming and was always ready to help us whenever we needed it.

4/5 stars purely for the experience as a whole! the sushi itself was average and nothing special, but the aspect of the revolving sushi, the technology, and the robot servers was definitely a fun experience! it costed around $3.50 for each plate of sushi, and each plate had 2-3 bites.

A one and done visit for us. Come for the fun experience but expect sushi to be pretty subpar and pretty pricey. Also service was kinda slow. Considering food is delivered by a robot or through the belt, it's weird how long it takes to get a waiter's attention on a not so busy week day visit.

After visiting Kura on a recent trip to Japan, we were elated to find a location in Kansas City when we moved to the area recently. We had a very pleasant experience. We were seated quickly upon arrival, and all of the sushi we tried was freshly made and tasted great. I appreciate the privacy of the booths well. We found the restaurant to be clean, the food, fresh, and the staff very friendly. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Not a sushi fan, but I went for the Ramen and Gyoza and they were fantastic! There were other great options for people that don't or can't eat sushi. This location was nice and clean and the service we got after walking through the door was great :) We were served by the little bots there, but when we needed help we were able to call them to the table with our tablets. Would eat here again!

This has always been something I've wanted to experience and I'm glad we have one in our area! The variety was not as wide as I expected but the food was pretty darn good from my perspective. I tried new kinds of rolls and nigiri for the first time here. Certain selections took a while to get if you selected to order it through the touch menu but it was at least fresher than what was revolving. I went with the hopes of trying some of the advertised One Piece items but it seems like they were all out of just not participating in having those items even though signs were all over for them. I can't imagine going as a group bigger than 5 but I would definitely come by again!

Had a great experience. Went on a Tuesday around 7:30PM - got on the waitlist and had around a 20 minute wait. Highly recommend leaving to walk around/shop during your wait because the place is small and it gets so crowded with everyone waiting around inside, they will TEXT you when your table is almost ready. All the plates we had were great, love that's there is SO many options. $3.50 per plate and everything tasted fresh to us. 15 disposed plates gets you a prize ball, which is just a fun added experience. Definitely download their app to check in online & collect rewards.

Experience was nice for the first time. I probably wouldn't come back because the sushi quality isn't the best. Quick spot to get sushi fast Service wasn't much. Basically if you need something there's a call button If you really want to eat sushi I would recommend different areas in KC

I definitely had to come here for the revolving sushi experience. Overall what a fun way to eat sushi. It's a little odd that toy have to sign in even when I got there right as they open. I appreciate the server showing us how to grab the plate because yes there is a way to go it. This place was packed within minutes of opening. Highly recommend getting there 5-10 minutes before they open. The price is $3.20 per plate. Overall the sushi was ok but not amazing.

My second visit to Kura, about a month or so after it's been open and there was finally no wait! Granted, it was a weekday late lunch, but it was a substantial improvement from my last visit. The quality of sushi was just as consistent as last time. However, the warabimochi dessert was not great--- the flavor was there but the consistency was way too soft and not chewy at all. There's also really no dedicated server, so I got asked if I wanted water about 6 times throughout my meal, though I kept declining it. Still a solid place to visit overall though!

I loved everything! It's like sushi buffet for lazy people! Food came around on the conveyor which was all pretty good. Service was good but I think everything could have be cleaner like the table that had soy sauce on it when we sat down. Bathroom and area could have been cleaner. Ooh and the robot to get your drinks was cool!

This was a great experience at Kura in KC! I have been to other Kura locations but this one was really nice! One associate, Mike, was amazing and offered great customer service!! We loved it! Will be coming back!

I was kind of disappointed by Kura, but the experience is great! I wanted to try this place because there are places like this in California, and they are usually pretty good. It is an extremely fun experience at Kura, because for every 5 plates you eat, your screen gives you an animation and for every 15, you get a little prize! I must celebrate the fact that every plate here is 2.50, because every other revolving sushi bar I have been to has priced their plates from 2-8 dollars. BUT the sushi is not amazing. I think if I went back, I would just get 2-3 things I really liked. It was fun to try but it seemed that most of the sushi was room temp and not the best I have ever had. You have a little robot server or a conveyer belt b ring your food, but there are also servers there at your disposal depending on what experience you like. Overall, it was fun to try new things but I will be sticking to Blue or Friends for my sushi cravings!

Parking might be a problem since you know it's the plaza! Before you read this ! Download their app for making reservation. Sometimes the wait time can go up to 200 min. I was really excited when I learned that KURA sushi is coming to KC. As a chain sushi restaurant from Japan, I have tried them in other countries never let me down. You can expect their quality is at certain level! Besides hot food, desert and drinks, all plate are the same price. Each container has a barcode that helps the staff to know what food has been out there for too long. So never need to worry about you pick up a sushi that has been on the belt for hours! If you don't see what you like on the belt, you can always check out their touch screen to find out what else is on the menu and make the order. Your specific order will come to a different belt which is right above the revolving belt. Download their app, and you can collect the point basically 50 dollars you can get a 5 dollar coupon.

Finally KC has a Kura! I visited Kura in other states and was happy to see KC has made the list. Did you know we are the only city in MISSOURI that has a kura?! All the staff is super friendly and helpful. When you get seated, just begin grabbing food from the conveyor belt. If you don't see what you like, you can also order from the tablet and will come out on the belt to your table. There is also the infamous robots that will bring out your drinks. Highly recommend downloading the Kura app and joining the waitlist so you don't have to wait in line!

The best sushi place overall in KC. Don't waste your money going elsewhere, it's infinitely worth driving to if you don't live close by. Since the robots serve your drinks and the revolving belt serve your food on-demand, leaving a $0 tip without feeling guilty is possible, unless you can and want to tip because this place is pure awesome! Kura is the coolest sushi place, so that means they will always have a superior theme going on (right now it's the One Piece Japanese anime). Such reasonable prices paired with their high quality food and amazing use of technology to create a high efficiency for customer? Unmatched! I absolutely love their Toro and Salmon toro nigiri... So perfect and buttery, it just melts! Oh, and the soy sauce on your table is NOT the ordinary watered-down basic salt-tasting sauce, it's REALLY good. Stop reading and go here! Enjoy and you're welcome.

This is a chain that's heavy on the west coast. Keep in mind this isn't somewhere you go for like super quality. Still very tasty and even better than some other true sushi spots. This is fun and interactive with friends. Service doesn't necessarily matter in this since everything is more do it yourself and grab what you want.

Didn't like this place it was way too fast paced for me. I felt like they could've stocked up the empty spaces a little better. I have been to a place like this and didn't feel overwhelmed like I did here. I also had difficulty opening up the little pods that the food is delivered in. If you want something extra that is not on the conveyor belt you can ordered it from the screen and it will arrive by robot waiter. It's weird but this is 2024! As for sushi quality I didn't like it, there is room for improvement. I came the 4 day they had been opened so maybe they have gotten better since. I spent about $75 for three people and I think I could've gone somewhere else for better quality.

Came here with a friend. I've only been to one other revolving sushi bar and that was in the San Diego area so I wanted to check out this one. The whole concept was pretty cool. You can order your drinks and other sushi from a screen at your table. A robot brings your drinks. What I'm wondering is how long has the sushi been on the conveyor belt? It would be nice to know the ingredients in the rolls as well. I think it would be better for the wasabi and ginger to be on the plates instead of the table. The quality in my opinion was average, nothing over the top or special. I liked the seared salmon, Texas roll and tuna sashimi. The Japanese style soy milk donuts were good along with the strawberry mochi ice cream.

Super friendly staff here - but it's really busy!! I've been looking for a revolving sushi place in KC for a long time and it's finally here! You check in when you enter, no reservations. This place is right in the middle of the Plaza district and I think it will do well. It's not fancy, very casual and it's active and liveOne big thing about revolving sushi is that you can bring anyone and they just pick whatever they want to have! Forget the fancy rolls where you have to please everyone in your party - just choose your own! Seriously - we over ate because our eyes are bigger than our stomachs we had salmon, seared salmon, sea urchin, toro, Ikura, yellow tail, dessert too! Their menu is extensive and easy to understand and use! They even have a little screen with small games and a lil prize if you get 15 plates :) if you can't find what you want, you can order all la carte and it comes to you from a special belt! Now, remember this is fast conveyor belt sushi... don't plan to linger for hours - people are a'waitin' so eat up and go! Not fancy sushi - sushi rice is shaped by a mold, and piece of fish placed on top and garnished and out it goes! So don't expect hand-shaped nigiri. Their wasabi is fresh-ground and delish! This is a great place for a group - just check in early, go shopping, and come back for your meal! So much fun :) bring your friends and family! Thank you Christopher for being so nice and taking great care of us - he's fantastic!

I took my husband here for his birthday. It was so cute and we had a really fun time. We loved everything we tried on the conveyor belt and ended up ordering a few more things that we really loved. Things were pretty reasonably priced as well. The place is small but getting seated went pretty fast. I didn't use the app but there was an iPad right at the door that you can check in at when you get there. The staff was super nice!
