Kiyoshi Omakase
8016 Santa Fe Drive
Kiyoshi Omakase brings an intimate, high-end dining experience to Downtown Overland Park, where every meal feels like a live performance.
With just eight seats at the counter, guests are invited to place their trust in Chef Jerry Cao, an Edomae-trained sushi master with more than 18 years of experience.
True to the meaning of omakase, or “I’ll leave it up to you,” each seating unfolds as a chef-curated progression of 12 to 18 courses featuring premium seasonal ingredients sourced from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market and top fisheries around the world. Expect precision-sliced fish, carefully torched bites, and luxury touches like A5 Wagyu, foie gras, black truffle, and premium caviar, all woven into a one-of-a-kind culinary journey.
At $98 per person, Kiyoshi offers the only omakase experience in the state of Kansas. Reservations are required and can be made online.

Tasty African Food KC
11240 West 135th Street
A brand-new African restaurant has gained many new fans after a food reviewer's post went viral.
Tasty African Food KC is owned by two best friends who are originally from Liberia, but the menu is more than just West African dishes.
You'll find Joloff rice, egusi soup with fufu, African chicken wings, curries, samosas, and so much more.
Don't leave without trying one of their house-made lemonades. Pick from flavors like strawberry mango, dragonfruit, piña colada, or signature hibiscus.
Stockyards Brewing Co.
10310 Mastin Street
Stockyards Brewing Co. just opened a brand-new taproom in Overland Park!
The original location in the Stockyards District of Kansas City opened in 2016 and creates great tasting, locally made beers with modern, sustainable techniques.
Their tap list rotates regularly, but Black IPA Rodeo Series #7 is a constant and the reason many regulars keep coming back for another round.
Venture in to the taproom to catch a sports game, chat with friends at the bar, or play tabletop games with friends.
Mocha Point Yemeni Coffee House
8641 West 135th Street
A new late night coffee spot has arrived in southern Overland Park with the opening of Mocha Point Yemeni Coffee.
Founded by Overland Park native Omar Abdelmoity, the café is designed as a place to gather, study, or wind down after a long day.
The menu highlights authentic Yemeni coffee, including classics like cappuccinos and americanos alongside pistachio lattes, matcha, and traditional Adeni chai.
Turath Coffee
9916 College Boulevard
Turath Coffee is a new Overland Park coffee shop worth checking out for its Arabic-inspired drink menu and late-night hours.
The shop serves coffee and matcha drinks with flavors like cardamom, fig, cinnamon and pistachio, along with desserts, giving customers something different from a typical coffee run.
We highly recommend trying the Fig Matcha topped with sweet cold foam, or the Turath Latte which is flavored with traditional Arabic spices and dates.

It's a welcoming place to gather for a meal, meet friends for drinks, or settle in to watch your favorite team.

Stop by, look around, and find your newest snack obsession!
Slow Rise Doughnuts
11228 West 135th Street
After building a cult-like following one farmers' market at a time, Slow Rise has officially began developing their brick and mortar store in Overland Park!
They create sourdough-based donuts with crisp edges, pillowy centers, and fillings that change with the seasons. Each batch is fermented for up to 72 hours, giving every bite a subtle tang that sets them apart from other sourdough based sweets.
The bakery is currently open on Friday mornings at 8 AM and Saturday mornings at 9 AM. We recommend getting in line an hour before open to secure the most-coveted donuts in all of Kansas City!
To see what's on the menu for that week, check their Instagram account.
