Best Japanese Restaurants in Downtown / River Market

No restaurant we’ve ever dined at has gone to the lengths Prime Social goes to to provide us with the vegan options we desire. Chef Michael is terrific, his menu is creative and delicious. And it’s presented with so many nice personal touches. In effect, we are treated like VIPs. It’s a delightful dining experience made even better by the comfortable setting and the nice view.

We have been several times and have enjoyed our experiences each time! This last trip we were with our kids and had a great experience. We tried more adventurous items as well as some that we've fallen in love with before. The atmosphere makes you think you're near Chinatown somewhere, our servers have always been friendly and helpful with narrowing down the huge menu and the food is delicious! We've even gotten takeout in the past and it's packed very well and just as delicious! We highly recommend this as a quick meal or a wonderful, delicious experience with friends.

Great all the way around As the crowd builds pretty noisy !

Ocean Prime has now become my new favorite restaurant in KC. From the moment I walked in the door to the when the hostess flawlessly fulfilled my request for a booth to the ambience and special touches on the menu items (shrimp cocktail presented in dry ice!) to the filets that cut like butter. The coffee was presented in a french press and tasted delicious with our peanut butter pie dessert that was so decadent. We were craving another the next day. Our waiter, Jameson took great care of us all evening. This is my 4th time dining here and my husband’s 1st but we will be coming here in the future more often! Highly recommend.

The food and service was amazing! They were patient with our kids and very attentive and kept us taken care of.
