Volker neighborhood mainstay Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill closes in Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The owners of Genghis Khan Mongolian Grill say staffing shortages have forced them to close the restaurant after nearly 30 years in business.
The restaurant, located just east of the state line in Kansas City, Missouri’s Volker Neighborhood, announced the closure in a social media post Friday afternoon.
“My beloved community, it is with [a] heavy heart we are announcing the immediate clos[ing],” the post read. “It has been more than 28 wonderful years. We sincerely appreciate the friendship, support and the patronage.”
The owners said it was time for the next chapter in their life.
On Saturday, the restaurant, located at 3906 Bell St., opened its doors for the final time, offering items from the Mongolian grill, egg rolls, crab rangoon, dessert and a limited appetizer menu.
“The outpouring of love from this community has rallied our team,” the final post said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – It’s easier than ever to find locally-grown food in the Kansas City metro.
Cultivate KC worked with people in Kansas City’s Ivanhoe Neighborhood to develop the Kansas City Farmers Market Passport.
The free guide works to connect people to more than a dozen farmers markets across the Kansas City area. Vendors will stamp the passport. Once five stamps are collected, the passport holder earns a discount at one of four businesses.
Passports are free at any listed farmers market location. Supplies are limited.

The Kansas City Chiefs will begin their quest for a third consecutive championship against the Baltimore Ravens as the NFL announced its opener to the 2024 season on Monday.
The Chiefs and Ravens will battle on Thursday, Sept. 5. It will be a rematch of the 2023 AFC Championship that saw Kansas City oust Baltimore 17-10. The game will be played at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs had a 17-7 lead in that game going into halftime and only allowed a Justin Tucker field goal in the second half.

“The stage is set,” the Chiefs’ X account posted after the announcement.
The Ravens celebrated that they were “kicking off the NFL season.”
Kansas City is fresh off of another Super Bowl victory. The team came back to defeat the San Francisco 49ers and become the first team since the 2003 and 2004 New England Patriots to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles. No team has won three straight Super Bowl titles.

Baltimore last won a Super Bowl during the 2012 season – ironically, over the 49ers. Their appearance in the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs was their first since that season. John Harbaugh has been the head coach through all the ups and downs since 2008.
The Chiefs are awaiting potential discipline against Rashee Rice as the wide receiver was involved in a crash in Texas in April. The team has since drafted Xavier Worthy as a potential replacement. Kansas City also acquired Marquise Brown in the offseason.
The Ravens loaded up on offense with the signing of running back Derrick Henry. The team also added help on the offensive line in Josh Jones.
Lamar Jackson is the reigning NFL MVP. He had 3,678 passing yards, 24 passing touchdowns, 821 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns.

WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) – A new State Law will make it easier for some drivers to get back on the road legally. It’s the second state law to come from a series of KAKE News Investigations into suspended and revoked driver’s licenses dating back to 2018.
“After, you and others did stories on how many people are affected with suspended driver’s licenses, or revoked driver’s licenses. Those stories helped with this bill,” said State Senator Oletha Faust-Goudeau.
Say if you can’t pay a traffic fine within 30 days, your license will be restricted instead of suspended. It’s just one of several changes under this law which goes into effect on January 1st.
“It allowed me to turn a negative into a positive. All the negative stuff and just driving on a suspended license, which I thought it was in the process of getting straight, it finally came to fruition,” said Michael who asked to only go by his first name.
Michael is one of many Kansas who could benefit from Senate Bill 500.
It’s to help people like him get restricted driver’s licenses instead of a suspended license if a traffic ticket is unpaid.
For him, it started when he tried to get his CDL.
“I went to the DMV, I got a letter saying that I was eligible. However, a ticket in Kansas City made me ineligible,” said Michael.
Michael thought he took care of the ticket in Kansas City, but the DMV told him he was driving with a suspended license.
Senate Bill 500 will give him time to still drive and correct things.
“It will retroactively help those with a revoked driver’s license. So they now too can participate in the restrictive driver’s license program while making payments on their fines,” said Faust-Goudeau.
Right now, anyone stopped for driving while suspended automatically gets their license revoked. But with this change, they’ll get the chance at a restricted license as long as they set up and keep up with a payment plan.
Like Michael, many Kansans only find out they have a suspended license during a traffic stop. This law also makes it cheaper to get your license re-instated…
“Current law if you have three five traffic violations, if you want to get that right and drive legally you have to pay $100 per reinstatement fee,” said Goudeau.
But with the new law in effect on January 1st, 2025, there’s just a flat rate fee.
“It eliminates that you only have to pay $100 no matter how many traffic violations you have,” said Goudeau.
This was a bipartisan bill. Both Republicans and Democrats agreed on it.
