Aoyama

Located: Shawnee & Olathe, KS

Aoyama Ramen is your next top ramen spot to check out in Greater Kansas City. There is currently an Aoyama Ramen restaurant in Olathe and one in Shawnee. We started our meal with the house dumplings, edamame, a house salad with ginger dressing, and the insanely delicious crab rice roll (not sushi rolls, but almost like a mini sushi sandwich). We also tried the Hot Sake…great presentation with a heated container for the sake to stay warm throughout your meal. We also ordered the classic Spicy Chicken Ramen along with the special Aoyama Spicy Beef Ramen. Both were absolutely delicious! You can’t end your meal without ordering the mochi ice-cream (few flavors available) as well as the matchacheesecake. This spot is great to go with friends or on a date night. Check out Aoyama Ramen asap!

Omo

Located: 8430 Ward Pkwy, Kansas City, MO

Omo is one of our favorite spots in Kansas City to get ramen! You can find this ramen & sushi restaurant off of Ward Parkway, not too far from the waldo neighborhood and the AMC Parkway Center. Our table always starts with steamed dumplings and the rangoons. We also like to start with the ginger house salad and the miso soup. My favorite sushi roll at Omo is the mango shrimp tempura. The main attraction at OMO Ramen is the creamy and delicious ramen bowls loaded with fresh ingredients. My "go-to" ramen bowl is the OMO Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen topped with pork belly, a seasoned egg, corn kernels, bean sprouts, and scallions. If you are looking for delicious sushi and ramen in the Kansas City area, OMO Ramen is the spot to check out!

Sayachi

Ramen, dumplings, sushi, robots...need I say more?? This cute and quaint Japanese restaurant and sushi bar found in the Brookside neighborhood serves fresh and delicious entrees. Start your meal off with the tasty homemade crab Rangoons and dumplings. The wings are absolutely mouthwatering too! There is a robot inside of the restaurant that will bring your appetizers and sushi rolls to your table...how cool! For our entree, we enjoyed one sushi roll and two spicy ramens. The ramen was loaded with flavor, noodles, veggies, meat, and eggs. This is a great spot to go with family, a nicer friend's outing, or on a date. If you are looking for a top ramen and sushi spot in the Kansas City area, Sayachi is one place you do not want to miss out on!

Jinya Ramen Bar

Unbelievably delicious ramen, fresh steamed dumplings, soft yet crispy oyster balls...need I say more?? Jinya Ramen Bar can be found in Overland Park, Kansas right next to Cookie Co. We started our evening at Jinya Ramen with the special peach cocktail and hot sake. For appetizers, we enjoyed the sauteed dumplings, chicken wings, crispy brussels sprouts, and octopus balls. There are so many tasty appetizers...it's hard to pick just one! I ordered the Spicy Chicken Ramen and was very happy with my meal. The sauce was seasoned perfectly and the spinach was super fresh. For dessert, we tried the green tea mochi balls and the chocolate mochi balls. If you have not checked out Jinya Ramen yet, make sure to add this to your KC bucket list!

Magic Noodle

Magic Noodle is a popular ramen spot in Kansas City because of the delicious meals served on an actual robot! You start by placing your order with the server, and the robot brings your meal out when it is ready. Along with the futuristic spin at this ramen restaurant, you can also pick the thickness of your noodle and watch as the dough is pulled, rolled, and prepared to your perfection. We started our meal by ordering spicy edamame with garlic cloves, the crispy crab rangoons, and the steamed dumplings appetizers. We also ordered a bowl of the combo ramen and the combo stir fry noodle dishes. Not only does Magic Noodle serve tasty meals, but they offer an exciting and fun environment to enjoy your meal in.

Boru Asian Eatery is one of my favorite places to eat in Kansas City. Their dishes are unique and packed with flavor. Their happy hour offers great deals! My favorite dishes: the popular Gyoza appetizer dish, edamame appetizer dish, Boru kimchi fries appetizer dish, and the stir-fry ramen dish.
