Sama Zama

Nathan and Amy Harper

My absolute favorite place to eat! We lived in Japan for years and I haven’t been able to find authentic Japanese curry and gyoza anywhere. I looked up different places and tried a few and was so thankful to have found Sama Zama. The gyoza and Chicken Curry made me feel like I was back in Japan. My husband loves the spicy chicken ramen and the Nabeyaki Udon. The raspberry cheesecake egg rolls are what dreams are made of! We come every week! We brought in our 4 kids (1 was born in Japan) and they saw why we love it so much. Erica (the owner) and Vicky are amazing and easily make you feel like family. There are times they are busy, but it is always worth the wait. We drive a good 30-40 minutes just to enjoy it, it’s worth the drive (even with these gas prices)! If you’re looking for amazing Japanese food and want to support a small business then you definitely want to try out Sama Zama! We’ve tried so many things on the menu and never disappointed.

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 😇.

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.

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!
