I honestly don’t know what to think about this place. I’ve been here about 6 times since they opened because it’s close to my work, and the experience has been wildly inconsistent.
On some visits, the sushi has been excellent with very fresh fish and great flavor. On other visits, it’s been the complete opposite. Twice, the fish tasted like it was not fresh at all, to the point where it was unpleasant to eat. One visit also stood out for extremely slow service, with close to an hour wait for food after ordering, and the food itself was just average.
When it’s good, it’s really good. When it’s bad, it’s bad enough that it makes you question coming back at all. Unfortunately, the lack of consistency is the main issue, and after my most recent visit, I’m not sure I’ll return.

Double check your bill because they will add their own tip. Just like reaching into your pocket and stealing from you.
UPDATE: So your reply is customer beware… better to go somewhere else

I am new to Salt Lake and immediately went on the hunt for authentic sushi. This place is by far the closest I’ve experienced to Michelin star sushi around the world. TG is the owner and a phenomenal person who did most of his training in LA. I judge sushi by the quality of the nigiri pieces and they are the absolute best I’ve had since I’ve moved here.

This was my first time at Ika Sushi, and it was such a great experience. We stopped in for a late lunch, so it wasn’t very busy, and we were seated right away. The space itself is really cute and the staff was super friendly, which set the tone for a relaxed meal.
We ordered a little bit of everything: the Brussels sprouts, a salmon avocado roll, a blue crab avocado roll, an albacore hand roll, and something called the Popeye roll. The Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly, with a nice char and a white miso sauce that was so good we ended up dipping other rolls in it. The salmon roll was tightly rolled with a generous amount of fish, and I really appreciated how well the rice held together even when dipping it in soy sauce and wasabi—no crumbling, which is a win.
The blue crab avocado roll was really lovely, and you could definitely taste the fresh blue crab. The albacore hand roll was beautifully done and probably one of the best I’ve had in the city—simple but really high quality. But the standout for me was the Popeye roll. I never would have thought to put spinach in a sushi roll, but it worked so well. The flavor was unique, and again, that miso sauce took it to another level.
One small but thoughtful detail that I loved: after we finished eating, they brought out a little plate of orange slices. It was a nice refreshing way to end the meal and kind of cleanse the palate—simple, but it added a really nice touch to the whole experience.
We just had soft drinks with the meal, but everything was excellent. Quick, easy, and delicious. Perfect timing going right after lunch because we got in with no wait, and everyone working there was kind and attentive. Highly recommend and already looking forward to going back.
