    “This restaurant's rating is suffering from the bland taste profile most Utah residents are used to. It may be a little expensive, but the flavors are fantastic. This is probably the best restaurant I've eaten at in the SLC-Ogden area. I loved the gochujang ramen, and my partner loved the beef one. The noodles are pleasant and bouncy. The down side I could notice were I didn't realize everything was made and served all at once. So if you ordered apps, it'll come out with your entre. Also some dishes are lighter on flavor compared to the ramen, like the shishito pepper app and the tofu dip. Though imo the tofu dip should taste like that. Shishito I was a little disappointed in but like not by much”

    “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.”

    “Pleasant surprise in SLC. The sushi was great quality and great taste. Tuna tatake was exceptional and melted in my mouth. The yellow submarine and ceviche rolls are also out of this world with amazing sauces to dip into. You don’t need any soy sauce with these rolls as it would take away from the overall great taste of the rolls. Mango mousse dessert was also refreshing and delicious. Service was also great. Your water glass is never empty and they all work very well together to increase efficiency. Was a little loud in the dining room overall but acceptable. Highly recommend if you’re in SLC”

Paying $60 for chicken and small bit of pasta is a pretty intense gouge. Our waiter didn’t know very much about the menu unfortunately and wasn’t able to answer questions w out going back to the chef”

Honestly I was debating on getting a wagyu flight to go. I’m also not a huge sushi person but the sushi was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be going there again.”
