When we went to Sushi Gin, the waiter brough a main dish that I had not ordered. (I ordered Shrimp Tempura....I KNOW what that looks like!) When I said to the waiter before he even left out table that my meal wasn't correct, he apologized and went to check in with the owner (a woman). She refused to take it back, saying, "We don't redo customers' meals." I was appalled. We went back and forth and she refused to budge, saying insulting things like, "You have no proof that you ordered the tempura!" I left without eating. I was very appalled at the customer service, and although we have eaten there a dozen times, we will not be going back. VERY disappointing.
Pros: Cheap Sushi
Cons: Terrible Customer Service

Having lived in Japan a long time I can tell ya' Sushi Gin is as good a place as you'll find in the KC area. They've always been busy but the service was good and it's a relative bargain. It's not a fancy place but it's clean and makes an attempt at Japanese decor, they even have a 'tatami' room. All too often it's the people with sour grapes in their mouths that write reviews so I want to make it clear, if you want real Japanese cuisine at a reasonable price, Sushi Gin is the place to go in Overland Park. Honestly, the other places should have to state their food is sushi-like or Japanesque... I like Asian Fusion but I want to know that's what I'm getting up front. And, remember, if you're making comparisons, a Japanese Steakhouse is really American food with a Japanese twist created after WWII in Occupied Japan. To the person with the credit card issue, better get used to it, I imagine a lot of places are going to be offering discounts for cash or charging a premium to cover their card processing costs so they don't have to raise menu prices. Besides, if you'd gone to any other sushi place you'd have paid more and gotten less. $1.50, really???
Pros: Authentic, good food, Japanese owned and operated.
Cons: Minimal decor and usually busy

The food was ok. Your attitude towards customers and purchase policies was inexcusable. The idea that you need an additional 3% for running more than one credit card for a group is absurd. That amounted to more than $1.50 on my bill alone. You are penalizing me as a customer for behavior you don’t like. Mission accomplished; I’ll never present you more than one card again because I’m never coming to your restaurant again. Your excuses only irritated me and made me resolve to tell everyone I know about my experience. I recommend Sushi House.
Pros: The food did not make me sick.
Cons: Rude Manger

My sister and I ate for the first, AND LAST, time tonight at Sushi Gin. The host seemed annoyed that we were there and let another couple sit before us and made a rude comment about us under his breath while he walked them to the table. Next, we sat for 45 minutes while we waited for our food, and had to ask for me-so soup and salad.. which was never brought to us. Finally our food arrived and although it was decent sushi for a cheap&fast place, it was poorly wrapped, falling apart, and just off. The last and final straw was after I left cash on the table and a 20% tip that was definitely not earned, the man chased after me and asked if I intended to pay for my meal. I politely told him that I had left more than enough on the table and he should not assume and insult customers of not paying.
Pros: Sushi Gin is written in dynamite sauce on every plate
Cons: You are at Sushi Gin

It seems there is a mix of great reviews and poor reviews for Sushi Gin. This is rather unfortunate, because for the serious sushi eater it is heaven. Sure it doesn't have a fancy inside or any of the frills of a trendy sushi place, but who needs those? I find it especially comical how one reviewer complained about the chef's lack of English speaking abilities. That's because he is Japanese. You should be thrilled to have an actual Japanese native preparing your sushi, a rarity around these parts. Although I can't really speak for the maki (rolls) that much, I know that the nigiri is VERY solid. And for one dollar a piece?! How can you beat that?! I myself have been to Japan and tried the sushi there. Sushi Gin would be considered average in Japan. This however is a major compliment in this area much less the US. I have even taken a visiting friend from Japan here and they were pleasantly surprised! So there you have it. If you are a serious sushi eater, a big fan of nigiri, or just someone looking to get out of the California Roll phase, make sure to give Sushi Gin a shot. Great nigiri at great prices. I won't go anywhere else!
Pros: Cheap, outstanding nigiri
Cons: Some may consider service average (don't let this steer you away)

My beautiful fiance and I have tried this place twice. The first time was a year ago, it was nothing special. We decided to try it again the other night. What a horrible experience.
1. The Sushi Chef barely speaks English or much of anything.
2. We asked for straws for our water, just because we already don't trust the place. They waiter seemed confused by our request, and then told us they normally don't give straws for water glasses. Does it matter? Isn't it his job to please the customer?
3. We asked for jalape?os with our sushi, just because we were in a spicy mood. This seemed to take an act of congress. 3 employees later and an extra charge we finally got a jalape?o.... Are you kidding me? Other Sushi houses are pleased with this request. Other Sushi chefs are impressed with our creativity.
Our money will be well spent elsewhere!!! The wedding dinner will be at another sushi bar.
Cons: Everything was horrible.

Even the edamame was sub-par. I recently moved here from L.A., and had a serious sushi jones. I went to Sushi gin full of hope only to have it dashed like the Pacifac on a Malibu shore. I will get my sushi from Hen House before I return to the Gin. STAY AWAY!
Pros: cheap sushi
Cons: u get what u pay for

Sushi Gin is my favorite sushi place in town. Not because it has the best sushi in town, but because I can afford to eat there often. Sushi Gin offers a limited but good selection of sushi for $1 a piece, as well as a few smaller rolls for $2. While its almost impossible to get out of most sushi places for less than $25 a person my wife and I can stuff ourselves for around $30 total. The sushi is nothing fancy, but its simple and delicious.
Pros: Cheap Sushi
Cons: Average Sushi

I have been frequenting Sushi Gin for over a year now, and have yet to find a better sushi place in Kansas City (maybe Kabuki). The selection is great, the service is wonderful and the prices are fantastic! I was scared to take my visiting friend from Japan out to sushi here in KC, but I took her here and she was pleasantly suprised! Got to love the one dollar nigiri pieces!
Pros: Selection, Prices!
Cons: None come to mind
