My mom was born and raised in Sweden, so I grew up very much immersed in Scandinavian culture and visited Sweden countless times throughout my childhood years. When my husband and first I moved to Kansas City and heard there was a Scandinavian restaurant in town, we made a point to stop in. It was absolutely amazing. We have since transitioned to a plant-based diet and hadn't been back. Upon hearing that Krokstrom was having a rough time, I made a reservation for Valentine's Day a week in advance online for my husband and I. I made a note that we were both vegan and would greatly appreciate any sort of accommodations. I thought they would maybe tweak 1 or 2 things on their menu to cater to our needs, so I ate a snack before arriving (thinking there wouldn't be much we'd be able to eat). We arrived a couple minutes before our reservation at 8pm. The host immediately asked if we were the vegan couple and said that he would alert the owner that we had arrived. We were seated and told that the owner had prepared a full course meal especially for us (none of which was on their menu). I sat there in awe as each course was brought out one after the other (5 total). The amount of effort and care put into our meal was incredible. Each dish was absolutely delicious, and I can honestly say that I've never had a vegan meal that good at a restaurant. The last course was brought out by the owner and chef herself, giving us a chance to meet her and thank her for the amazing experience she and her staff provided us. Krokstrom has proved that they truly care about their customers and the food they prepare. They literally rolled out the Red Carpet for us. I've never been treated that well at any restaurant. We will most definitely be back and spreading the word around. If you haven't checked them out, please do. It is worth every penny. You won't be disappointed!

At first glance the menu here seems composed of foods whose tastes are completely unidentifiable, which makes ordering a challenge. Order anything. Seriously. You will NOT be disappointed. "Comfort food" is the perfect description of the wonderful cuisine available here, and if you plan around happy hour it's pretty easy to try a number of different dishes at once fairly inexpensively. I will definitely be back to sample the menu items my friends and I didn't manage to get to yet! TL;DR Try it, you'll love it!

The food here is delicious!! The decor is cute though minimal, but don't let that fool you about the meal. We'll definitely be back. The chef here is very talented! The stroganoff and swedish meatballs were amazing.

I think I may not be a huge fan of Scandinavian food, but I did enjoy my food! I wish the servings had been bigger as I was not completely satisfied after eating. I wish we had gotten an appetizer! I think this place is great for a lite lunch or snack! The atmosphere was super cute and their music selection was fantastic. Our waiter was super sweet and a real treat! Overall pretty satisfied, just wish servings were a little bigger! Definitely will be back to explore the menu a little more.

By FAR my favorite dining experience in KC! My husband and I visited last weekend and I was just so enthralled with this whole place. I love how the decor makes it feels as though someone has invited me into their home for a meal. The drinks were wonderful, appetizer was awesome, dinner was divine! All of the adjectives!! 13/10 will be coming back.

My wife is swedish so it was pretty awesome to be there with her family and have some of the dishes that they grew up eating. Food was delicious and the desert was off the chain! I would recommend the princess torte. Oh so good!

Krokstrom is an awesome restaurant just minutes from downtown. It also has the best brunch I've had in KC and it's very affordable. I had the roasted beets, raggmunk and the traditional swedish breakfast. Everything was delicious, I'm sure I'll return in the future.

Absolutely loved everything. Alex was a perfect server. The traditional breakfast was a great choice and the Semla, egg bun was delightful. Coffee drinks awesome!!!!

I had a craving for swedish meatballs so I decided to try this place. I was not disappointed! Everything was authentic, delicious and the portions were decent, not too small. The atmosphere is comfy. I loved the antiques and tasteful decor. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family. 😊
