Modern Market Eatery - Power & Light

Fresh, delicious food! We had a Thai coconut chicken salad and chicken chili. Our friends had a salad with fresh tuna. So yummy! The manager, Melissa, was very friendly and checked on us to make sure we had all we needed. We will be back - 5 stars all around!

Great salmon ceasar salad and other varieties of healthier options. Very clean place with decent prices and friendly staff. They also have a cane sugar soda pop bar!

I recently went on a bit of a rant about how Kansas City just doesn’t do modern, casual health food well. Having spent a lot of time on the coast, most places here that try it really miss the mark. So when I DoorDashed from this spot, my expectations were low. I was very wrong. I’ve been eating here at least once a week and haven’t had a single bad meal. If you’re used to Cali-style food, think Santa Monica energy, this is it.

Stopped by with my family for lunch on December 26th. We had a salad, a Buddha Bowl, a protein bowl, and a pizza. It took 45 minutes. We sat near the open-concept kitchen, and there was no movement in there for 30 minutes. At that point, one male and one female worker went into one of one-holer bathrooms, and came out ten minutes later rubbing their noses. The pizza came out five minutes later, burnt. They informed me that they didn’t have my salad dressing, and would have to substitute. Then they brought the rest of the food. The Buddha bowl contained nothing but dry lettuce. I won’t eat here again, and I hope the owner sees this.

Fun atmosphere. Terrible, grouchy, not-welcoming hostess/cashier. Never Got my food,. Told DoorDash takes presidence after 45 min wait and being told my protein was not available, it took another 15 minutes and a phone call to get a refund. Not apologetic about it at all. Just eye-rolls, and snarky voices

Extra star for having gluten free bread for the sandwiches with only $1 upcharge. I got the Aleppo Chicken Stack on GF bread. The moz was great and there was lots of chicken. I would have expected the lemon zaatar aoili to add a bit more flavor than it did. The biggest problem is the chicken thigh, which is fat slices and chunks that don't work in a sandwich. The GF bread was soft and tasty, but fell apart immediately (I looked crazy trying to eat this). I would return but would ask for the bread to be toasted to give it more structure to support the ingrediants inside. I had to order online and take my food to go (according to the sign on the door) so I can't comment on the staff or service. It would be helpful to get a notification when the food is ready for pickup - which most ordering apps provide.

Casual atmosphere, great friendly service, wonderful food. Steakhouse pizza was a huge hit. Chicken Bahn Mi sandwich was truly delicious. In the Power and Light district.

I had a very disappointing experience. My order was scheduled for a 3:45 PM delivery for 15 people but the store could not be reached (only can call corporate, not the direct store)and neither could the driver. After multiple calls to corporate, they still couldn’t get in touch with the location. At 4:30 PM, I was told they would dispatch a DoorDash driver, but the earliest arrival would be 5:30 PM. My order was ultimately canceled and refunded, but I would have picked it up myself had I known they didn’t have a driver. Very frustrating.

Stopped in to get a couple of soups for a quick dinner after a weekend event at the convention center. Easy to get to, no wait on a Sunday evening. I asked the employee at the register for their 2 soup recommendations out of the 3, which got me the tomato basil and the chicken green chili. They are both phenomenal! The tomato is creamy and aromatic, and I quickly took to sipping it from the bowl rather than bothering with the spoon. It absolutely hits the spot on a brisk day. The chicken green chili is beautifully flavorful with a little welcome spice. A nice thick soup with lots of veggies and chicken. The kitchen staff that brought me out the to-go were very sweet as well. Makes me sad that I don't live here!

I was very excited to see that they had chickpea gluten-free pizza crust. I ordered the margarita and it came to the table slightly warmer than room temperature. I took it back to the kitchen and they brought it out again a little warmer this time. There are two single stall bathrooms, one with a keypad that they you have to find someone to unlock you. The cashier spoke English, but no one else did. It was a desperate meal after a basketball game at T-Mobile as there were very few options. It was a bad choice to spend $50 for two pizzas
