Description

Sannin is the poke, sushi, and ramen restaurant that trio Chenni “C.J.” Juanda, Ket Kiun Lo, and Christian Sen — three co-founders with extensive backgrounds in sushi and poke — opened on May 7, 2025 at the Northwood shopping center on W. 47th Ave. in Kansas City, Kansas. The restaurant is part of KCK’s growing 47th Avenue Asian culinary cluster, adding Asian fusion to the area’s mix of independent restaurants. Sannin’s format combines self-serve kiosk ordering with a menu that spans fresh poke bowls, handcrafted sushi, ramen, and teriyaki. The signature rolls play on Kansas City identity — the KC Chiefs roll being the most prominent example — alongside the 911 roll and other creative combinations. Startland News covered the planned opening in March 2025, noting the concept as part of the KCK culinary cluster; IN Kansas City Magazine has a restaurant directory listing. By May 2026 the restaurant had 32 Yelp reviews and 27 photos posted.

Tier classification

Tier pending — owner backgrounds. C.J. Juanda, Ket Kiun Lo, and Christian Sen are identified by Startland News as three partners with “extensive experience in sushi and poke restaurants” — but birthplace, immigration status, and KC arrival context are not documented in available sources. The names suggest possible Southeast Asian and/or Chinese-Indonesian heritage (Juanda is associated with Indonesian naming; Lo and Sen are Chinese/Southeast Asian surnames), but this is inference, not confirmed fact. The sanninrestaurant.com “About” page and a direct conversation with the owners would be the priority sources. Hold at ~ until confirmed.
