Under Wraps

Thought this was just a trendy spot but these guys are legit. Apparently the owner and head chef visit Japan all the time to go on food tour so you know they’re serious about this food.
If you’re not sure about fish, ask for their fried stuff and a bowl of rice. If you like fish, the hamachi sashimi and whatever they have on special.

The non-alcoholic cocktails were all very fun! Drink it from a straw for one taste, then try it without one! I liked the how the carbonation of the asian pear one reminded me of the little gritty bits you encounter when biting into a real one.

The rolls were a single roll, uncut and didn’t seem to have enough filling which confused me. It all made sense once I took a bite. My teeth broke through the wrap with a satisfying crunch into the fluffy “meat” of rice and fish. If it was too full, I wouldn’t be eating a dense rice log and the seaweed would probably be soggy.

The yellowtail/hamachi was excellent. Not a hint of off-putting fishy flavor and came out with a beautiful floral presentation.

This month’s special was a miso black cod sushi. This was incredible. Smoky(from the hand torching), fatty, cheesy, and it melts into the rice and your mouth as you chew it. If I had 2 extra stomachs, I’d have ordered 12.

The dessert icecream probably came because I mentioned not seeing one on the menu. They were brave flavors which made me very happy since it told me they aren’t sellouts.
Icecream came out presented like traditional sushi with milder flavors on the left and bold ones to the right.
First was an horchata. Very light ice, like a fluffy sorbet. The first flavor was a surprisingly mild, and therefore sophisticated, cinnamon. The sweetness and creaminess came next, but like everything else about this it was light.

Second was a blueberry orange blossom water ice. Dark purple, bitter, tart, sweet, gritty(not unpleasant, it stimulated the senses). Texture, flavor, color, all bold.

Third, the most interesting and my favorite, a cucumber mint(shiso). Fresh cucumber flavor, sour pickl-ey flavor… but sweet. In my mind I was thinking this was wrong. In my mind I was also thinking this is absolutely something you’d find in Japan. Outside of my mind, my body enjoyed the refreshing flavor. It was a perfect treat for the summer and the dissonance of mind and body enriched the experience.

My favorite restaurant in utah. Amazing service, atmosphere, and most importantly the food is incredible, super fresh, great flavors. Love this place.

Truly delicious food. Flavors you don't get elsewhere. So, so good. A little spendy, but a truly delicious experience.

Hands down, the best sushi in Utah County, period. I hope more people come here so they stay open. My quality of life would go down if they went out of business and I had to find another sushi place.

Didn’t know we would find such a gem in Utah! The ambiance was so cool, and the service was incredible. I didn’t have any real expectations when we arrived, but was absolutely blown away! The food was super unique and delicious, and they were so accommodating with my baby boy.

Definitely recommend!

Absolutely love this place. The food is incredible and I love the vibes. The service team is awesome. They really know their stuff and the owner is usually in and a super nice guy. I highly recommend the burgers some of the best in town, like really!! The gyoza and chicken karage are great too!! Love the anime theme. The staff wears anime shirts too, I love it! It's the perfect marriage of high end food and a fun family friendly atmosphere.

$12.00 Wagu Sushmi was not worth it at all. Paid for 4 thin slices of Wagu no rice just plain overcooked meat. Portions were so poor I had to go to another restaurant to eat for lunch!

Best Sashimi in Utah, period. Hawaiian Tuna is out of this world. Poke Nachos and Wagyu Burger are also insane. They know how to do it and the service is 5 star. This is a hidden gem in Pleasant Grove.

Went there for dinner this evening not knowing what to expect. The pictures in the reviews looked good, so we thought we would try it out. We were very pleased. This place certainly offers culinary quality over quantity, which is great in today’s environment of stuffing oneself. We had the Poke nachos and the Chicken Karaage along with some Miso soup. They were delicious. There are some other dishes on the menu we want to go back and try. I really liked the atmosphere, and our service was great. Give this place a try. Break out of the regular chain restaurant trance and enjoy something fresh and new.

Good service. The tempura was good. The pork skewers had too much sauce and didn’t taste very good because of it.

We went for a movie night (Totoro), the food was delicious and we had so much fun!

This a newer Sushi Bar in the Utah County area. Its interior definitely shows a lot of love for popular anime. They even have Ghibli movie nights where you eat what you see in the flicks. My daughter, who is younger, and still learning what she likes, was blown away by the sushi nachos she picked. I got a couple of hand rolls and miso soup. It was all good! A tad pricey for a cheapskate like me and I had to awkwardly remind them close to when we wanted to leave that I was still waiting on soup. However, all in all it was an enjoyable meal and they are sensitive to food allergies.

This place was so cute. The food was great, the servers were so great and attentive and funny. They played anime the whole time and they switched up the episodes the whole time we were here (we were there for 2 hours). My boyfriend absolutely loved the rolls here. The server Skyler was so sweet and so funny, he played very close attention and always filled up our drinks and asked if we needed anything!! 5 stars all around!!

We came for a small company dinner. And I expected typical sushi rolls and was surprised with so much more! Everything was plated to perfection with a unique and fun look. On top of that so the food was so refreshing and I left feeling full, satisfied, and still wanting more. I could not recommend Under Wraps more for any sushi lover!
