Pokesan

Cute little place that has amazing poke bowls! I loved how you get to pick everything that goes in your bowl. The people working there were very friendly and we got our food fast. Highly recommend for lunch!

Stopped in for some food before walking across the street to see a show at Record Bar last weekend. Located up 2 sets of steep staircases, including one with a handrail that was almost falling off so enter at your own risk. It's very wise that they do not serve alcohol!The menu is provided with a marker to select what you want to order and to select what ingredients you desire when building a poke bowl - base, protein, mix-ins, sauces, and toppings. My cooked chicken and raw tuna on a bed of rice with 3 mix-ins ( avocado, mango and red onions) were then topped with cilantro, green onions, pickled ginger, crispy onions and tempura flakes with a sweet ginger sauce. Delicious. At $13.38 + $6 for a Vietnamese iced coffee made it a quasi-economical light dinner. I'd do it again.

I was only going to eat half my food and save the rest for later but my Poke was so good, I ate the whole thing. My food came out fast. Plenty of seating in the restaurant. The only thing is, the location is a little tricky to find and it doesn't appear to be handicap accessible. I would definitely come back here the next time I'm in town.

First time trying this place. Not sure if I'll return. I think there's better poke places in town. Our pokebowls were more like pokesoup.Pros:Clean place with a nice ambiance. Music is not too loud.The bowls offer a lot of topping options, sauces and proteins. You can add 5 toppings and up to 3 sauces without paying extra.The standard bowl let's you pick 2 proteins. I believe their largest allows 4.The bowls are flavorful and will make for a decent Instagram pic.Cons:The pokebowls are served in to go containers that are very small. The portion just isn't great for the price. Also makes it difficult to mix the ingredients if you load it up. QZ gives a much bigger bowl that's a better value.They overloaded our bowls with so much sauce that it was basically soup at the bottom. We had to ask for more rice which the lady was nice enough to give us. This helped make the bowl feel much more balanced but I don't think this would be an issue if they just used a bigger bowl that allows them to give us more base.We also got fried dumplings for appetizers. Not great though. Thought they were pan fried but these were fried fried. Just a little too crispy for my liking and made it tough to enjoy the pork on the inside. They're also much more difficult to pick up with chop sticks due to how hard the exterior is.In summary, it's ok but not worth the 40 bucks we spent.

This place is great! Off the beaten path, but definitely a hidden gem. The Poké was delicious, the authentic Japanese soda was fun and exciting and it was really close to the Power & Light District so check it out.The restaurant feels very young and fresh. There is a door and stairs up to the service area so if you have trouble with stairs it may not be a great option.The service was quick, delicious and fulfilling. The tab was $30+ for miso, poke, and Japanese soda so a little pricey. But I expect being 1 block from the T Mobile center their rent might be high so the tab seems fair. The ambiance is brightly lit, J-pop and KC pop decor.

Cute spot in downtown KC. The dining room is on the second floor. There's a nice view if you sit in the half booth. For an appetizer, you can't miss with the veggie dumplings or crab rangoon. They could stand to be more generous with the orange chicken sauce, but it's solid. Try the Japanese soda.

We happened to see this place, which is right next to my favorite tattoo shop, and stopped in. After climbing the narrow stairs, we were greeted and explained how to order.I got the crab crinkle cut fries and veggie dumplings and both far exceeded my expectations. The price is a little steep but treat yourself! This is not a place to miss out on - the definition of a hidden gem in Kansas City.

Really enjoyed my visit. First, we were greeted by a wonderful hostess who explained the menu and ordering for us. Had the fried wontons and a poke bowl. Food came very quickly. Wontons were filled with crab. The filling wasn't real sweet, but it was tasty and the sauce added some sweetness. Cooked really well. The poke bowl was hands down one of the best I've ever had. While I saw some comments that the portions were small, I didn't experience that. I had the small and was completely full when I was done. There are plenty of ingredients, so don't short yourself. The ingredients were fresh and plentiful. The whole thing had great flavor and incredibly tasty. Overall a great visit. I'll definitely be going back.

got food doordashed from this location last week and it was AWESOME! highly recommend the shrimp dumplings! will definitely be returning

I love this place the fish is fresh the bowls are big and filling! And the squid is soooooo good. Best poke place in down town!
