A colorful, hip establishment, Blue Koi is one of the best places for Asian fusion food in Kansas City. Especially good are their dumplings (pan fried or steamed), scallion biscuits with awesome sauce (a garlic-y dip that is indeed awesome), and a dish called Ants on a Stick (cellophane noodles tossed with your choice of meat or tofu). They also have many flavors of hot and bubble tea, along with a full bar. This is a great place to come with for a family event or a romantic date. A vibrate part of the 39th Street community, they have art openings every first Friday.

This casual, Westport restaurant gives diners a "hands on" dining experience. Most diners choose the extraordinary buffet where a guest can fill his or her plate with raw meats, vegetables, and an assortment of spices. One of the chefs will then throw the complete assembly onto a large round grill and prepare it. Add some fried calamari, steamed dumplings or an egg roll, and you have a meal. Diners can also order from a full menu.

Located in The Country Club Plaza, P.F. Chang's China Bistro, is for those who love well invented Chinese. Though the cuisine here is traditional Chinese, it is well known for a menu that features delicacies cooked the mandarin way but served with a contemporary twist.

All in all, the restaurant is recommended for those who want to satiate their Chinese craving in a casual environment and seal their dinning experience with a tempting dessert list.
