Sama Zama - Kansas City

Nice Japanese restaurant! On Christmas Eve, we called and made reservation for dinner after the church service. We got there a bit late due to service ending late and they were about to close the restaurant since there weren’t any other customers that night but they re-opened the place for us. The service and the food are great! We’ll visit this place again for sure, when we are going to be in the vicinity. Highly recommended!

I love this place! I've ordered take away several times and the food travels quite well. I dined in for the first time in April 2022 and had an incredible experience. They take COVID precautions very seriously, which I appreciate considering inside dining seats approx. 20 people in close quarters. The service is always impeccable. They really ensure you have a great dining experience. The food is delicious. I've tried several menu items, including: Cha Shu Pork Ribs (a little sweet, but still yummy! Pork Tonkatsu Curry (my FAVORITE item on the menu Tori Kara Age Fried Chicken (crispy and the sauce is delicious Tonkotsu Ramen Spicy (very flavorful; my second favorite item Nabeyaki Udon (great presentation, noodles are delicious, get the spicy chili oil on the side Rice Ball Onigiri (a little thick on the rice but the filling is so good Gyoza Potstickers (you can never go wrong with these Fried Rice (just okay, there are much better items on the menu Ramune Soda (definitely give these a try! the bottle is so fun, the soda is delicious, and it's the perfect serving size I would highly recommend dining at Sama Zama. No doubt you'll fall in love with traditional Japanese cuisine and have a fun dining experience while you're at it!

Sama Zama is the best Japanese spot in KC! It has a great menu and the staff is simply superb. My family all loves this place and we try to go whenever we can. I recommend their takoyaki, chicken and cheese, and their raspberry cheesecake dessert, but you can't go wrong with anything on this menu. They've taken COVID precautions seriously which I really appreciate, so you'll feel safe dining here. All on the first floor and they have two restrooms in the back.

I frequent this place during my lunch hours. It’s a great place for takoyaki and miso soup. They keep the front door locked during business hours because of very limited seating and their tiny kitchen, 1 server, plus COVID. They’re closed Sun-Mon I believe now. I highly recommend takoyaki and ramen here. They will ask how spicy on the ramen.

Best Customer Service EVER! First visit, I ordered a Ramen and cheesy chicken. The chicken was to die for, so delish! But I didn't care for that particular Ramen and set it aside after three bites. The hostess asked and I explained there wasn't anything wrong with it; I just didn't care for the flavors. She took it back without hesitation and didn't charge me for it, said it's most important I am happy. I will be back. She is an Angel .
