26 Best Japanese Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“my family and I really enjoy Mr. Shabu. We have mainly been for the sushi, and have really liked it. The Playboy Roll, which is sort of my go to roll, I'm torn if they are number 1 or 2 when it comes to the place I like it the most. but we have enjoyed many other rolls their. but we also appreciate their wall of ramen which is great for my daughter who is trying to like more sushi, but isn't all the way there yet. it make it easy for her to still get a full dinner, but also try some sushi as well. Any ways, if your looking for some good sushi, give Mr. Shabu a try.“

“Best Japanese restaurant for family and friends , and kid friendly.“

“The FOOD was even better on a lunch special price. It had all of this pictured (Haiku) and miso soup to start. I left feeling so full and filled with quality food. The service was efficient, friendly, and consistent throughout the lunch. The atmosphere was perfect with natural lighting and cultural touches throughout the restaurant. 10/10 recommend! I'll be sure to be back for the dinner on a date night.“

“This is by far my favorite ramen place in Utah. I’ve been so many times and realized I’ve never written a review. As someone who has spent a considerable amount of time in Japan their Tsukemen is the closest thing I’ve found to Japan. I get it every time and it’s 100% my comfort meal. I can’t recommend it enough. I bring all my family and friends here.“

“We are big fans of Koyote, especially the vegan Tantan-men and tofu whip, so when this Japanese-Italian fusion restaurant opened we were eager to check it out. Thankfully, there are vegan options on the menu, and they’re quite good. An additional vegan entrée would make the choices even better.

The décor of the restaurant is stunning. The wine selection was pretty good. The service was great as well. Overall, a great addition to Salt Lake City’s dining scene.“

“atención. servicio y sabor.“

“I've eaten here several times now. Haven't been disappointed yet. Great fresh fish and an awesome atmosphere. Had a box delivered to my office last week as well. Can't beat that!“

“excellent food, great customer service, and a nice chill atmosphere. This is a great place to bring your family for a night out, they're fast so it's a nice takeout option and it's definitely a place you should visit for lunch. Another plus is the menu has a great variety so there's no way you won't find something you really like“

“第一次来 Sapa Sushi Bar，整体体验非常满意！🥢 店内装修融合了现代感和亚洲风情，很适合和朋友聚会，也适合一个人静静享受晚餐。💬 服务员也非常友善，会耐心介绍菜品，还不时来加水、确认口味是否满意，感觉被重视。💵 价格略高，但整体物有所值，毕竟品质和体验都在线。“

“The food was great. Our server was knowledgable and friendly. The ambience is beautiful. Our only complaint was that the bar service was very slow. We got our appetizers quite a bit before we were served our cocktails. Will definitely return but next time we will sit at the bar.“

“I’ve been eating there for decades. Always great food!“

“just ordered pickup from Takumi Sushi, id recommend this restaurant to anyone. Really great price and a cool atmosphere.“

“We stopped by this ramen place after visiting the zoo at night..it was freezing cold, and this was the only “noodles” place open late, so we decided to give it a try. The food was pretty good, but it’s definitely on the pricey side. Ramen in Utah is a bit overpriced in general.

The noodles didn’t taste like traditional ramen, more like homemade noodles, but they were still tasty. We also ordered the chili pork dumplings, which weren’t quite what I expected (I thought they’d be similar to the ones from DTF), but they were okay.

Overall, it was a nice warm meal on a cold night, just wish the prices were a little more reasonable!“

“really great food, great ambience amazing service, overall enjoyable experience!“

“SOOO GOOD! Definitely a five star experience.“

“I love almost everything here, and always go out of my way if I'm near one or see th we food truck! the one thing I did just have that was downright bizzar, and borderline gross was the Raspberry chicken. I'm curious if there is anyone thats gotten it more than once. I just sort of speed ate the chicken so I didn't waste the money, but couldn't handle the rice with that actual salad dressing, super sweet and tart sauce. then it also has blue cheese on it which is very strange, lol.“

“These guys are the best! Not only is the sushi amazing, their not-sushi items are tasty as well. We always bring our out-of-town guests here, and they love it too.“

“Delicious Thai food in downtown, friendly staff, and good price“

“Good place for a hot date, and her mom! 10/10 sushi“

“The best GF sushi menu in the city, the servers are amazing and knowledgeable on allergies. only four stars because their hosts are always clueless, wait for you to greet them and never seem to know what’s going on. Other than that this place is 10/10.“

“Great food, nice atmosphere, good location. I really enjoyed everything I've tried so far!“

“We arrived roughly at 9:30pm prior to the cover and had a great time winding down our evening at Sayonara. The bar staff were kind, attentive, and responsive. Quick to take your order and had bar staff coming to your table with drink service.

Of the course the vibes are some of the best in downtown SLC. We particularly enjoyed the bar back and pool room.“

“The the sushi chef was excellent, and so was the sushi and sake… The waitress was a bit inattentive, but nice. I’d go there again.“

“noodle lovers would definitely agree“

“Delicious 🤤 Best sushi around. The owners are wonderful!“

“It was amazing, thank you, Mario“
