21 Best Japanese Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“Summer Tsukemen. Normal ramen comes with chashu pork, but this one has roast beef. So delicious. The noodles are served in a light broth, so it might be a good idea to dilute the dipping sauce with it at the end. The portion is smaller than I expected, but it’s healthy and good.“

“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.“

“This is the best sushi in Utah. Period. Anyone who is critical of this place doesn't understand good sushi. It's also remarkable and very cool that they have kept their pricing relatively low for the industry. We go every 2-3 weeks.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“This place was simply heavenly. I’ve never had better pasta in the states other than in Italy. The fusion of flavors was just so incredibly innovative and original. The blend between the two cultures of Italian and Japanese cuisine hit the mark across the board. The service was phenomenal and I can’t wait to go back to try other dishes.“

“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。“

“We came here for a Valentine’s date. Our meal was pretty pricey, but you get what you pay for. This was probably one of my favorite meals I’ve had in Salt Lake City. I felt like our server could’ve been a little more attentive, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt during a busy Valentine’s weekend! I’ll definitely be back for a special occasion.“

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

“I made my way to Ramen Legend and took up with their “Killer Veggie Ramen,” a title that threatens mischief but delivers honest comfort. The broth carried a lively kimchi heat—enough to wake a man without causing regret—and with a touch of black sesame oil, it improved itself further.

The noodles behaved properly, the vegetables were in good order, and the whole bowl suggested care rather than haste. A most satisfying vegetarian affair, and one I would gladly repeat.“

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

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

“SOOO GOOD! Definitely a five star experience.“

“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“

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

“Their sushi was good then tempura was meh. Everything was either really good or not very so I think you figure out what works well and just order that. There are better sushi joints in town and the servers are a little snotty. Not as bad as the clientele who seem pretentious and obnoxious and make you want to get take out only, which you can. And I'd recommend doing that.“

“This place rocks. There’s cover fee on just the weekends and it’s only $5, plus the atmosphere is amazing. They have board games, a pool table, a little patio, and really nice lighting. They don’t serve food but have great beer and cocktails. The service is great as well, especially Thomas, Jonah, and Vee. These guys have always been super kind and helpful when I come in!“
