I love Banzai! I eat here frequently, and it's always so good. The employees are wonderful and kind, and the food is top tier. Definitely recommend.

This place USED to be amazing I don't know what happened.Long review.....We ate here on 11.2.23 ordered the combination meal C for 3. This included Beef & Broccoli, Lemon Chicken, Ham Fried Rice, Jumbo Shrimp, Egg Rolls & Egg Drop Soup.I also ordered a tempura shrimp sushi. It was in a section of the sushi menu called hand rolls. As many people who eat sushi know California rolls, tempura rolls and similar are generally a few dollars less and based on the ingredients of the 4 rolls in this category and pricing I thought that's what these sushi rolls were (I would learn quickly how wrong I was).We started with egg drop soup. It was your average egg drop soup and ok.Then came jumbo shrimp and egg rolls.One bite of my fried jumbo shrimp to realize it had not been cleaned. Stuck my fork down the side of the shrimp to verify and and the big long black trail....ugghhh gross. Not just one shrimp either. Obviously none of us wanted any more shrimp.Egg rolls were fried and crispy on he outside and everything was mushy inside.Well maybe better luck with ham fried rice. It was a weird yellow color but I tried to justify it. It was bland and the after-taste was terrible I wanted to scrape my tongue. I thought maybe it was me so I waited to see the others reactions. It didn't take long for their faces to reflect what I had just experienced.It had to get better right? My nephew had a bone in one of his pieces of lemon chicken (pictured). We asked for extra lemon sauce and carefully ate the chicken. The extra lemon sauce kinda of helped with the dry chicken.The beef and broccoli was actually pretty good so I do have to give some credit there which, is why 2 stars (and the egg drop soup).BUT somewhere in the middle of the craziness my sushi came wrapped like and ice cream cone???? And not sliced. I have never in 20 years of eating sushi seen anything like this. I had no knife to cut it. The eel sauce was squirted on the end like hot fudge on an ice cream cone. So finally after no knife, no idea how to eat this. I just scooped away some of the eel sauce tried to re-roll tightly (causing it to split) picked it up in 1 hand, held tight and dipped in soy sauce. What a nightmare.The waitress wasn't around because they were short staffed (need to give some grace here she didn't make the food) she was running around like crazy. I wasn't going to complain, our waitress was already running around to multiple tables & by the time they made something new or tried we would be late to our appointment.If by some miracle we go back and things are different I will update my review but it would take an awful lot of arm twisting to get me to go back.

I have been eating here for years. It used to be really good. As of about 2 years ago, it has gone down hill. I thought I would try it again tonight. The sweet and sour chicken was soggy. If you picked up the chicken the breading would fall off. The chicken lo main was soggy and had a weird flavor to it. Only thing that was ok was the fried rice, but how do you mess up rice! This used to be my go to Chinese Food spot. Not anymore. I will not be going back!

The food was good, but not quite as good as on our last visit. Not sure if it was a different chef or what. One of the best oriental restaurants I have visited in the Salt Lake Valley.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair accessible parking, entry, and dining

Sashimi did not look fresh. Avocado was brown inside the roll. Rainbow roll was smothered in sauce that was not good and had some weird burnt taste. You couldn't taste the actual food. Sad because I used to go here years ago and it wasn't great but definitely not bad like now.

The meal I had was not the best, but I will try another dish.The hospitality was better than most of the places I have been.I will give them another chance for sure.

This place is down the road from my work. I start eating, there's hardly any chicken in my Kung Pao chicken, the shrimp has no flavor and I'm pretty sure one of them were undercooked, and the lo mein looked like a pile of plain spaghetti. Definitely won't be going back to this

Is my 2nd time here. Not reallly happy I found an insect in the vegetable. I called the waitres and I asked her if they wash the vegetable and she said yes and then I showed her the warm and she just offer me a change but of course I told her its not about that its about be aware of what they offer. She doesn't look very happy.

I love coming here for lunch. I usually order to-go due to my work schedule, but everyone is very nice, and food is very quick. Very reasonably priced for what you get. If anyone ever asks for a restaurant like this, I will always recommend this first. 5 stars from me any day.

My husband picked up an order for me today. It was of cashew chicken, ham fried rice and an egg roll (The #2 meal on their menu) As I was eating it I kept on thinking I was eating a BBQ meal or something. Turns out on the bottom part of my cashew chicken. The chicken, onions, peppers, etc. were burnt. I'm still tasting the burnt flavor in the back of my mouth! I called the restaurant and spoke to a manager. She told me all they could offer for my ruined meal is $2 off a meal next time we go in. For food I couldn't even consume. Offering just $2 is not good enough. We will not be returning.
