“ Concept 23 is a quiet restaurant. They have a varied menu, in case you don't like sushi or want to bring someone who's not a sushi person. The roll/ ratio is excellent. I'm very into sushi, (as much as a Kansan can be lol) and the amount of fish they stuff in the rolls is generous. Most places around here do 6 rolls/order. They do 8. They also have pinned up all of the plates from when they were a revolving sushi place. It's cute. They have fast, attentive service, and the food comes out pretty quick-- even the cooked dishes. I pretty much only go there for sushi anymore. Pictured is a salmon/avocado roll, 2 yellowtail rolls, and their special Wasabi roll. The salmon has so much delicious fat. I could almost drink the wasabi sauce on the roll. ”
“ We went for the seafood boil that they offer here and it was really good. We got the flaming hot spice level with Cajun seasoning and it was delicious also got an extra side of hot seasoning to make it super hot and recommend getting the mussels they were gasss. We’ll be back for sure great service, great atmosphere, and delicious food ”
“ First time here, loved it! Reminds me of my time spent in Japan. The fried rice was tasty and not bland like other restaurants. I ordered the tempura, salmon sushi, chicken yakitori, and salad. They make their own ginger dressing for the salad. It was on point!! ”
“ We got the Build-your-own seafood combo, and it was so delicious! I got shrimp and snow crab, my boyfriend got mussels and lobster tail, and it was so fresh and tasty (I’ve never had seafood that fresh in Kansas). Really flavorful sauce, and great portion for its price! Michael was so personable and attentive, and the restaurant space is super clean and cute! Highly, highly recommend. ”
“ I'd never heard of this place before but was craving sushi while visiting Lawrence. On Mother's Day we went and were delighted to have almost no wait time and our server was with us immediately. The food was fabulous!! The crab rangoon was some of the best I've ever had. Definitely will be back! ”
“ BEST SUSHI IN TOWN. I’ve travelled far and wide and have had some really good sushi, and this is comparable to the best I’ve had. My boyfriend said that the sushi from here is better than some of the sushi he had in JAPAN. Not only is it the best quality sushi, but it’s the best priced sushi as well! My favorite roll, the crunchy roll, is literally 6.95. Service is quick, staff is nice and attentive, it’s a lovely quiet environment to sit and talk with friends. I’ve never been a regular anywhere in my life, but I’m proud to say I’m a regular here now. If you haven’t tried it, TRY IT. Also, the lunch deals are incredible and they make a mean crab rangoon! ”
“ Love this place! Come here at least once a week. The food is always great, and the service is top notch. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. It’s my go to place for sushi, definitely the best place in Lawrence hands down!! ”
“ Amazing meal! Everything was perfectly cooked and flavored amazingly! If I didn’t live 3 hours away, I’d be here every week! Definitely might drive 3 hours just to come here again someday though! ”
