Moonlight: #4
I was immediately impressed by the cleanly, casual atmosphere that the establishment held. I observed a menu full of choices with reasonable prices. I would highly recommend going straight to the lunch special on the menu any time between 11:00 am and 3:30 pm
for the best deal on a filling meal consisting of either a soup or salad and two rolls of sushi. There wasn’t outstanding service due to open seating and a checklist for your order. There was really no contact with the staff but the slight wait was well worth it for the delicious sushi. If you want reliable, quality sushi in an open atmosphere I would recommend the Moonlight Bar and Grill.
Japanese Steak House: #2
When you walk into the Japanese Steak House, you feel an actual Japanese vibe in the air. The decor and low lighting sets a more private mood but the friendly staff knows how to break the ice. My recommendation for the best sushi experience is to go for a special occasion and sit at one of the big tables with the grillfor dinner and a show. The food is made fresh right before your eyes and it tastes great. They also have some good desserts to try and a unique caterpillar roll that I get every time. The only warning I have is not to wear too nice of clothes unless you’re good at catching flying food in your mouth.
Wasabi: #3
Wasabi is probably the most wide-ranged sushi place that can be found near Liberty. Their menu includes Maki (8pc), Tempura (battered and fried foods), Nigiri (special 1pc sushi rolls), noodles (hot and cold), Sashimi (fresh sliced fish), and even Japanese Bento boxes which consist of four pieces of California rolls, steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables and your choice of meat. Within these categories the selection is endless and unique and I would definitely keep going back to try all the interesting combinations. They also have a lunch special for only ten dollars and a happy hour with reasonable priced combos. I would describe Wasabi as the new-age sushi spot.
KC Sushi: #1
After trying an array of sushi, with the spider roll being a personal favorite, I knew that the longer drive w
as well worth it. Not only is the interior inviting but also the service is remarkable. Each dish is at a reasonable price during their happy hour and served quickly and neatly, with several check backs from the waiter. For the food itself I found it all above average in taste compared to other sushi restaurants. KC Sushi also has a table grill experience and some more decadent choices on their menu such as fillet mignon and crab tail for a higher price. Overall the highlights of KC Sushi that will keep you coming back for more are their experienced cooks and outstanding hospitality.
