Moonlight Sushi Bar & Grill

This review is for the experience my friend Hayley and I had on Saturday, March 2nd. ^__^We had a blast trying out a local sushi place neither of us have been to before. I've only been to a couple locations in Jackson County, Missouri and proud to say this new place was very good! I even convinced my friend to try the refreshing, crunchy goodness of seaweed salad for the first time! Which she ended up enjoying very much! It's nutty, lovely, zesty, and has been a go-to for me at pretty much any sushi place in the past for a long time. The gentlemen who served us that evening was very kind and welcoming, checked on us quite frequently which I certainly don't mind at all! And we enjoyed the quality and freshness of our seating area and meal.We weren't originally aiming for that particular location too! We had closer locations to where we were for our visit but they were all packed! But I'm glad we explored more options within our area. Moonlight Sushi was really enjoyable. The quality of customer service, how satisfying and flavorful the food was. We'll definitely go there again in the future for more sushi joy! ^__^

Food was good...lunch menu available but EXPENSIVE. Had one lunch special (two rolls and salad) and one bento box....over 30.00! That was with water! We were one of two tables there...good but hard to justify the price.

The tuna crunch roll is very bland unfortunately. But I do love the crab Rangoon and the California roll! I wish I had experienced the storefront but I did have it delivered, which took just a few minutes over the estimated time.

I love Moonlight's sushi but two times in a row I have had horrible experiences. First of the two we were forgotten and parties that arrived after us came and went before we finally got our waitress' attention. And the most recent, we arrived at 4:30 (the listed opening time on their website) and were greeted by a completely dark and unopened restaurant. We got back in the car and waited for finally, two people to come (the owners?) and open the restaurant ten mins late. Absolutely ridiculous business practice to have your time listed and not even be there at that time. Once we were finally able to go inside, our order also seemed to be at the bottom of their priorities. Over 45 mins later we had still not gotten our rolls, but many to go orders came and went. I would not recommend coming to Moonlight, there are many other local sushi restaurants that can accommodate dine in patrons as well as to go orders this is obviously not one of them.

I was very disappointed in the quality. The sushi was falling apart, the menu was restricted, and the spicy tuna roll could have passed for canned tuna with spicy mayo. I literally only ate one of the two rolls I ordered. The good qualities were cleanliness, friendly staff, quick service. I'd try it one more time because I always consider that it could have been a bad day, if my next experience improves I'll be sure to post.

So just drove for 30 min from my hotel to try this sushi - Friday night and closed early! Yelp says they close at 9:30pm, Apple Maps says they close at 10:30pm - either way no sushi and the staff could care less - said they had no one since 7:30pm - if so why not stay open 30min more?

Great service - sushi variety is quite a selection - just ate there March 2024. Very friendly staff from greeting on entrance and thanking us on departure

BEST Sushi in the KC Metropolitan‼Service is always fast and the establishment is very clean. Setting at the Sushi Bar is my favorite! watch out for the Plum Sake though, it sneaks up on ya.

There is a closer sushi restaurant near me but I would rather drive extra to get good food with great service.

Disappointed. I came up here with my son after looking up the hours and although online they claim to be open until 9:30 they were closed at 8:45. Someone sat at the bar but refused to turn toward the door when we knocked. This is the second time this has happened. The food in the past as been okay- warning most of their sushi is diced up and rolled not whole pieces.
