\"Nara<\/a><\/div>\n

I discovered a new favorite restaurant last week with an excellent “happy hour” menu. We barely made it in time. I think we got there ten minutes before happy hour ended but they were nice enough to let us order from the happy hour menu, which was great because there were lots of different menu items to choose from at a fraction of the regular price.<\/p>\n

We sat by the bar, which is where happy hour happens. <\/p>\n

There was hardly a soul in the joint when we got there but by the time we left the place was buzzing. I don’t think there were any empty tables by 8 PM. <\/p>\n

I love that you have a great view of the downtown Kansas City skyline from the restaurant. If you look on the upper left corner of this picture, you can actually see the One Light Luxury Apartments<\/a> building. <\/p>\n

Since everything was so inexpensive during happy hour, Selena and I started with some edamame and ordered several different things. <\/p>\n

This is the appetizer platter which consisted of two fried shrimp and pork gyoza (fried dumplings), two shrimp shumai, two crab rangoon, and a crispy pork and shrimp egg roll. All for $5. <\/p>\n

We also had some friend mac-n-cheese. <\/p>\n

The best part about chicken yakitori at Nara is you get three skewers instead of only two like at Drunken Fish<\/a>. The yakitori at Nara is also much more flavorful. It’s pretty plain at Drunken Fish<\/a>. <\/p>\n

We also had the beef yakigyu, which doesn’t look like much but it was also very good. Finally, I got an order of California roll because I wanted Selena to try it. <\/p>\n

You’ll never guess how little we spent on our dinner. Our total for all of that delicious food came to a little over $27 ($35 after tip). I think this place might have the best happy hour in all of downtown Kansas City. It’s definitely my favorite. <\/p>\n

I can’t wait to go back!<\/BIG><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
