Incredible experience. Food, service and ambiance were all top notch. I waited 3 months for this reservation and it was well worth the wait. How incredibly lucky are we to have this restaurant in our city. 10/10 recommend. Will be back again.

Had a friend come in from the Seattle area and he’s a MAJOR sushi snob. He loved it and commented how amazing the fish quality is. Thanks again for an amazing experience and continuing to elevate the KC food scene.

We enjoyed a dinner with visiting friends. The restaurant is right inside the doors before you go into the Casino. The service was excellent. My Brick Chicken was moist and delicious with stuffing and gravy. My husband loved his catfish. The Kale Caesar was delicious. We are lucky to have Gram and Dun north of the river. We will go back.

This is a very nice sushi restaurant with a lot of food and drink options. The service has been excellent both times that we have come here. I ordered two rolls that were sadly too spicy for me. One had a delicious flavor though so hopefully next time I can order it without the sauce. The presentation was beautiful with everything though.
