It's clear that the people who run this place are passionate about what they do. There was live music and a rustic comfortable atmosphere. It has its own parking lot and ample street parking due to a great location. Looking forward to frequenting Chappell Brewing many more times! Oh... And the artwork is impeccable. It's clear they have good taste!”

“Delicious! The quesabirrias are the best I’ve ever had! It’s worth going out of your way to check this place out. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other items on the menu soon!”

“Great atmosphere, delicious crapes and beautiful presentation, loved it”

“We love this restaurant! So glad to see that the reopened the Sugar House location. We chose to sit at the bar. Compared to other Tsunami locations it is just kinda blah. However, the Chef's were personable and fun.”

“Delicious light lunch at a nice eatery in the Chinatown mall. Courteous and attentive staff. The chicken skewers were tasty and had a sweet chili sauce that was supposed to be medium spicy(but wasn't, however l liked it anyway) the salads were flavorful and fresh. The pickled cucumbers were sweet and refreshing and made a great accompaniment to the rice. Ill definitely return to try other offerings. Check it out!”

“A great restaurant open since 2019. The owner is from Korea and is very passionate about his food which is all delicious. Definitely order the Bibimbap! It's #6 on the menu. It's a stone bowl which is very hot in Cooks the food right in there and they serve the whole thing in the bowl.”

“Probably one of the best chai lattes I’ve ever had in my life!”

“Wow! The whole experience was worth the price tag.
From the incredible server Miguel, to his robot helper! The food was fresh, ambience was wonderful, and service was quick.
Definitely coming back.

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and boosters and my 8 year olds loved the experience.”

“So many yummy pastries! Always on the rotation for fresh breads as they come out, and good selections of savory and sweet. My top picks are: Hokkaido Milk Bun, Pineapple Cake, and the chocolate cake?? Whatever the square one is called, that’s my go to birthday cake for friends. I’ve ventured on quite the range here and never had really any misses. Some more that are favorites over others, but overall, clean, fresh, and yummy!”

“Bjorns is a standout destination for me, thanks to their exceptional matcha sourced from tea Zaanti. I consistently ask for my matcha with 4 extra scoops. Moreover, their coffee is outstanding, and their protein shakes are top-notch. The service is remarkably efficient and welcoming.”

“Awesome food and the owners are great!”

“There is no better falafel in Salt Lake. Pita House makes their own bread. Also the lahmajhun is excellent, on house-made flatbread. The complimentary tea is delicious.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, Fuul, Zaatar”

“Their kimbap is my favorite! I haven’t tried a lot of the food they offer but their tteokbokki is pretty good, as well as their kimchi fried rice, although I do wish the pieces of ham were slightly bigger. Great place to go to if you are looking for Korean side dishes or food to go”

“My fiancé and I come here at least once a month. The food is amazing and with the chilly season around the corner it’s a perfect cozy meal. The staff is absolutely phenomenal. Everyone is kind and quick with service.

Parking: Depending on what time of day you go parking could be tough.”

“Great Dirty Chai. Exceptional food! The fettuccine is different in a good way! The customer service is impeccable!❤️”

“Wonderful establishment! Friendly Staff and awesome food! Even a nightly stop for a Baggett on you way home makes your home meal perfect! The pastries are to die for!”

“Stopped by for a afternoon snack, and loved it. While the sweet items looked amazing, we were looking for something a little more savory and picked the spinach and cheese, chicken schwarma, and beef pie. All 3 were delicious with the spinach one being my GF's favorite and the beef one with tomato sauce being mine. I really liked all the flavors and enjoyed how soft and flaky the pasta was. Oh the staff was great too as she was able to heat it up right there for us to enjoy!
We will definitely be back!”

“service is great and costumer service”

“I ordered the zha jiang mian and was not disappointed! The sauce had a rich, umami flavor and the noodles were wonderfully chewy and definitely tasted high quality. I also ordered the cucumber salad which was fine but I would not reorder it. The portions were good.
Service was great and very quick! I will be definitely be coming back to try more food here.”

“New owners took over a few months ago, and they definitely made it much better!! I felt like the previous owners were trying to cater to non-Koreans too much, where as now I feel it's very authentically Korean.
I tried the chicken porridge and was blown away by how good it is!! I will definitely be back with friends to try the chicken!!
If you've come before and were disappointed, I urge you to come back and try it again!!!”

“great food! good service. love having it so close by to where I am!”

“Killer IPAs! Good food and service. Came for trivia night and had a blast.”

“Good food and good folks, it's a taco stand in a parking lot, and with their setup it's the best one you could imagine. Large selection of drinks, menu items, & toppings, you won't regret ordering the sopa and loading it up!”

“Such a great experience from initial contact through eating the cake and cake pops. The cake turned out perfectly and was so delicious. The cake pops were loved by everyone! Shelby was great to work with, and put up with many mind changes and design questions with such grace. Our now 3 year old was so happy with everything and gave us many “oooh yummy” statements. We will surely be back!”

“la comida estaba muy rica , jamás había probado los currys y mi experiencia fue lo máximo y el.mesero explicó nos atendió de maravilla”

“I took my daughter out to a treat at her favorite place for some boba and she ended up getting frustrated because the drink lid wasn't sealed, making it hard for her to mix it. One employee noticed her struggle and immediately made her a new drink, an extra free one for me and gave her a promotional gift card without hesitation. It's the small acts of kindness that go a long way and I really appreciate the hard working amazing crew on staff today.”

“Best tteokbokki I ever had in Utah! Great addition to Chinatown area! Affordable price for big portion! What I love about their rice cake is that it doesn’t harden even when I took it home. Really good variety of flavor, spicy level, and side dishes! My favorite is the rose tteokbokki with giant rice cake adding cheese on top! Pair it with fish cake soup, fried dumplings, or fried seaweed rolls!
Only cons is how small and limited seats are at the place.”

“The pizza is outstanding. I’m from NJ and VERY picky about my pizza. Villaggio did NOT disappoint!”

“Took a group of friends to eat here. I had heard that they were seed oil free and gluten free. The food was amazing. Service was perfect and atmosphere was clean and fun”

“We really like coming here alot . The only complaint is it's a horrible set up! Don't go during peak hours it's miserable. Very little dessert”

“muy ricos y excelente atención, gracias Brillyth, súper recomendadisimo.”

“Great food and plenty of it we are from out of town stopped in not knowing how it would be and I know we will eat there over any bbq place in the salt lake area it was some of the best. I had ribs and brisket my wife had pulled pork and chicken it was all fantastic and the house bbq sauce awesome”

“Chicken tacos were very good 5/5. El pastor was 4/5. Sauces were good. Nice place. I would only have one suggestion for us non native costumers…and that would be to have full meals instead of ordering each item separately. That’s why I could just order tacos with beans and rice and the only choice would be what meat I want. Good food though.”

“I have eaten at a lot of taco stands and Roxy always stands out. The Tortas she makes are amazing, huge and so very tasty. And when I'm broke I don't klnow where else i can head for a couple dollar tacos and come out full in the end. The choice of meats here allows you to eat several times a week without getting that burnt out feeling. Her Queasadillas are huge and so very good. If you haven't eaten here DO IT!”

“Salt Lake's most unique dining experience by far! If you are looking for an exclusive, chef driven 9 course dinner then Chef Vishal has you covered. Each course is a fresh take on classic, traditional South Indian food specifically from the Goa region. Each course wows your senses with lots of wonderful color, presentation and of course flavors. Highly recommended if you're looking for something new!”

“Super nice guys, delicious fresh kabobs and curries. My favorites are the chicken tikka wrap, beef kebab wrap and the chapli masala. Don't skip the garlic naan either!”

“Ate there today. Very yummy and friendly staff”

“The food here is amazing! We ordered the Pork Mulitas and they did not disappoint! We will be back here again for sure! The staff was very friendly!!”

“My boyfriend and I come here every week, sometimes twice a week. It's a very friendly atmosphere and the server is wonderful! The food is also delicious and always hits the spot. We plan on trying more of the menu, but the ramen will always be something we order. You get a very good portion for what you pay for. This place will be on our top 3 places to eat out when we do.”

“Les recomiendo los tacos están deliciosos tienen variedad y son muy amables”

“This is a great brewery. We really liked the beer and the vibe of the brewery. The bartender was qualified and gave the great references for the beers. We definitely came back there again.”

“Can't even tell they're GF!! The entire time I ate the Chewy Chocolate Brownie Bites, I just kept saying, "wow" ❤️”

“Great cheap food. I love this truck. I hit it once or twice a week for lunch. I always ask what is good today. And then just go with recommendation. Quesadillas are one of my favorites. Tacos are great for a light lunch.”

“Nice option for weekday fast lunch

Parking: Super easy and tons of space

Kid-friendliness: Super nice people

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“I have experienced the food from Salt City on several occasions and I love their food. I particularly love the nachos. Don’t miss out .”

“Amazing karaoke with the best host!! Love providing entertainment! Kevan always maintains a great karaoke vibe!”

“If you are a mole lover, be prepared to fall in love with La Oaxaqueña.

I have family from Oaxaca and go years without seeing them, but having an order of enmoladas brings me so much homey comfort.

La Oaxaqueña is vibrant, consistent, and authentic; nothing but true to the Oaxaqueño culture.

I've had the mole, pupusas, and the tlayuda and enjoyed each of them.

I do ask for the enmoladas to be filled with beans instead of chicken for a vegetarian option. They also used chicken that had bone in the first few times I ordered them, and was a bit put off; the bean substitution keeps me satisfied without the bone digging.

My only real complaint with La Oaxaqueña is the restroom - it is clearly an afterthought. If I'm washing my hands before a meal, I'd like to believe the bathroom is as clean as the rest of the establishment; right now, it's not something I'd want to be eating out of. 🥲”

“The best place in town for Pho.”

“This Georgia girl approves! The brisket tacos are amazing! Love his sauces too!”

“best food ever, mouth watering meat”

“This is hands down the best Chinese food in Utah. I ate here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and have been back almost every day since. It's that good”

“My celiac husband was able to get a gluten free yummy burger, my picky nephew liked his burger, and my onion rings and grilled cheese were perfect! We will definitely go back!

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free burger buns. My husband got a gf burger and gf fries. He loved them.”

“Food was amazing, salad was a good portion for small size, pizza was on point, hot and cooked perfectly, and hot wings were ok…would have preferred having the hot wings first before the pizza. Still all was yummy. The guy who took our order was super awesome.”

“First i want to say, you cook your own food, so the one star review who said they got sick, LEARN TO COOK! This place is the best. My wife and i come here whenever we get the chance. The food, atmosphere, everything, is just great. We get hot pot and bbq each time. our go to dishes are the rib eye soup, and mine is the Tom yum. We get the black pepper pork, and short ribs without fail. Do not listen to the ones who complain about KBBQ because the truth is they dont understand or respect it. Go here, always.”

“Great staff! Ordered the Veggie Delight for take out and was ready in 5 minutes! Quality cooking instructions and endless topping opportunities. Definitely worth baking at home.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Delight is delicious and will make you want to order again and again.”

“Wanted some tahini to make hummus for a party and also some authentic pita bread. Googled med market near me so stopped in. Found the tahini and then Walked around the store for a sec and a gentleman asked what I needed. I told him pita and he went in the back and brought out fresh warm fluffy pita! Delicious! Nothing like the grocery store stuff. After reading the other comments sounds like I need to return for some baklava!”

“Refreshing Pho with tender rib eye hit the spot after a day of driving.”

“Hidden Gem. I recommend the Vegas Roll, 10/10.”

“Consistently delicious. The food is always fresh, and I know anything I order is going to be good (plus it's very affordable). I'll stop by whenever I'm in the area.”

“My friend Mike McCardell, a man of simple pleasures, lived for the lip-smacking tartness of a good sour beer. And the sours from Shades Brewing, with their funky, complex flavors born from wild fermentation and barrel-aging, were his absolute favorite.

But Mike, a generous soul with a soft spot for stray animals, had one weakness: his beloved dog, Riley. A mischievous mutt with a penchant for chaos, Riley was the apple of Mike's eye, despite his tendency to chew furniture and chase squirrels up the curtains.

One sunny afternoon, while Mike was enjoying a glass of Shades' "Peach cobbler" on his porch, disaster struck. Riley, in a fit of canine curiosity, snuck into Mike's study. Papers flew, pens were chewed, and in a moment of sheer, unadulterated chaos, Riley managed to transfer all of Mike's funds into a dubious online venture promising to turn squirrels into diamonds.

The venture, predictably, went bust. Mike, blissfully unaware of his impending financial doom, was happily humming along to the birdsong, contemplating the delicate balance of brettanomyces and lactobacillus in his beer.

It wasn't until he received a rather stern letter from his bank, informing him of his newfound zero-balance status, that the gravity of the situation hit him. Shades Brewing, his sanctuary of sour satisfaction, was suddenly out of reach.
Dejected but determined, Mike refused to let his love for sours be squashed by Riley's financial shenanigans.

He knew he had to take drastic measures to save both his beloved brewery and his furry friend from being relegated to a diet of kibble and tap water.
With a heavy heart, Mike approached the stoic brewmaster of Shades Brewing, and confessed his predicament. known for the brew masters sharp wit and even sharper sours, surprised Mike with a hearty laugh.

"A dog, you say? Took all your money for a squirrel-to-diamond scheme? Well, that's a new one!" the brew master chuckled.
Seeing the genuine despair in Mike's eyes, the brew master, who secretly harbored a soft spot for the man and his unwavering dedication to the brews, offered him a deal.

"You work for me," they proposed, "learn the craft, help me brew the sourest, funkiest concoctions this side of the kingdom, and your tab at Shades will be forever cleared.

Mike, overwhelmed with gratitude, accepted with fervor. He threw himself into the art of sour brewing, mastering the delicate dance of wild yeasts and bacteria under the brew masters watchful eye. He scrubbed barrels, cleaned equipment, and even volunteered to taste-test the most experimental brews, his taste buds tingling with the thrill of each new flavor.

News of Mike's situation spread through the land, drawing in curious patrons and fellow sour enthusiasts. They flocked to Shades Brewing, eager to witness the man who had lost his fortune to a squirrel-diamond scheme.

Mike, with his infectious enthusiasm and newfound brewing knowledge, became a local legend. He even started incorporating foraged ingredients into his creations, inspired by Riley's adventurous spirit (and frequent forays into the local woods).

One day, Mike unveiled his masterpiece: "Riley's Ruin," a sour ale bursting with unexpected flavors, a testament to his resilience and the chaotic charm of his canine companion. The beer was a sensation, attracting even the attention of a wealthy duchess with a penchant for exotic pets and sour ales.

Impressed by Mike's story and the unique brew, the brew master invested a small fortune in Shades Brewing, ensuring its future and securing Mike's position as resident brewer and sour aficionado.

And so, Mike McCardell, the man who lost his fortune thanks to a mischievous mutt, became the savior of Shades Brewing”

“Long Life Vegi House has resurrected and we couldn’t be happier. Paired with T.F. Brewing’s most recent limited release. This place is magic!”

“Rico y abundante definitivamente muy recomendable”

“My regular beans and brews. I honestly feel like the customer service is the best of any coffee place. It's a drive-thru and window pick-up, with no seating except a small table outside. But, it's coffee and it's made quick.

I regularly get the revolver. This time I got an iced matcha latte and it was much better than expected. The food is great, a bit pricey but I find it very convenient for breakfast.”

“Awesome and yummy!! Whatever you do, get the hand pulled noodles. They are the best.”

“I was here yesterday afternoon, the waiters were very kind, especially the guy who served me, he was attentive to whether we needed anything and whenever he asked us if we were okay, he told us he would be at the front in case we wanted anything else (the skinny guy)

The only thing I didn't like very much was the variation in the music. I think they should put more songs in English and not just in Korean, because there were a lot of Americans and not all of us like Korean music.”

“We got the cup of fruit tea and the mango orange green tea. Both were pretty good. Btw I asked if they use real fruit or syrup in their smoothies and beware because they said syrup. I’m assuming the same goes for their teas (most tea places use syrup to flavor their teas so it’s not necessarily a bad thing). Bathroom was also very clean. Overall good tea place. I found it a bit off that they were playing rock music at a tea place. I would prefer some kpop or cafe music. But the music is not a dealbreaker for me.”

“Lovely restaurant with very friendly staff. Came here with friends who recommended it after saying it was the best Korean food they had found in Salt Lake. I tried their recommendations for the lunch combo, the Beef Buligogi and the Soondubu Chigae. A great deal for the the variety of food you get. I’m probably a bad judge for this style of food but it was good and everyone enjoyed their meal. The metal cups and chop sticks were cool though!”

“Excelente todo… siempre vengo y me encanta”

“A lot of variety of authentic Mexican food. Anywhere from caldos, meats, and home made tortillas.”

“Great place, great food ,but the best part was the service, they was late on my order and they serve me my order for free of charge ,that shows they really care and want me back and ill be back ...thanks and great job you guy's!!!!!”

“Best pizza in utah”

“usually really great but tonight i ordered online to “beat the rush” like they advertise and then got to watch 4 large groups order AFTER i walked in and told them i was waiting for a mobile order get their food before mine. and guess the reason? because mine was a mobile order!!!! make it make sense 🤣 it’s all the same food why not just make mine first since i’ve been there physically before everyone else but hey whatever

EDIT: still peeved about the situation but adding a few stars bc they hooked it up thanks canes”

“Good Mexican food with huge portions! One of the few Mexican restaurants that actually give you real carne asada instead of cubes beef. It was cooked hot and quickly, just like it should be. Will definitely be coming back.”
