42 Best Japanese Restaurants near South Jordan

“Loved the calm and simplistic atmosphere, and the food was incredibly satisfying! Definitely surpassed my expectations. The staff was sweet, prompt, and helpful, and the owner (Lily) was personable and caring. We will definitely be returning for many more date nights to come! We each ordered the tonkatsu ramen and we shared the Texas roll. We have now visited twice in one week to try more sushi, and it was great!“

“Unbelievable to have this in the south valley! The fish on the donburi and in the sushi rolls is fresh and flavorful. The portions are excellent, especially for a very reasonable price. With a few substitions they can also accommodate gluten allergies on some of the menu items. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable as well.“

“At Sukihana in Daybreak, oh what a delight,
The food was a symphony, pure culinary might.
Each bite burst with flavor, a dance on the tongue,
From sushi to ramen, every dish was well-sung.

The flavors were bold, yet so perfectly balanced,
In every fresh morsel, my taste buds were entranced.
The service was warm, like a hug on a plate,
Sukihana’s a gem—truly five stars, first-rate!“

“We had a wonderful time! Kiki is one of the BEST servers we have ever had at Tsunami, South Jordan. She was friendly, efficient, and she was a delight to chat with. The food was amazing, as usual, and 100% correct as ordered. . Thank you 😊“

“great service and very tasty! also, great price“

“Everything was absolutely perfect. We tried a variety of rolls and dishes. The presentation, flavors and even textures, perfection. New favorite sushi restaurant.“

“Sakura is awesome.
First the Food. Everything is freshly made, hot, and very good. I've had the chicken, steak, and salmon teriyaki, all of which are fantastic. The plates are massive, and I often have lots of leftovers. The smaller bowls are also a full meal, and often what I order. The drinks are made fresh as well, and I am fond of the Thai Tea and Sakura Coffee. The Boba is fresh made and hot, which makes for a really fun and unique experience, with the ice cold beverage and warm Boba. Its a treat!
Their sushi is also fairly good.

The staff is great. The owners are extremely nice, and very helpful.

The restaurant is small, but well taken care of. Its clean, bright, and not too loud.

Give Sakura a try. You will love it!“

“The food is wonderful and the atmosphere is fast paced and kid friendly! We love it 😍“

“Pepper Lunch was on my list of restaurants to try during a trip to Tokyo this past April, but I unfortunately wasn’t able to. Imagine my surprise when I found out that one had opened right here in Riverton!

The food is absolutely fantastic, and appears very fresh. It’s served sizzling hot right on your own personal heated platter, guaranteeing your meal won’t go cold. I ordered a Jumbo Beef with a fountain drink, and paid around $22. For the quality, taste, and freshness of the food, I thought this was an exceptional value.

Don’t forget to ask for a loyalty punch card! For every 8 meals purchased (technically 7, since one spot is already pre-filled) you’ll get a free meal.

Pepper Lunch absolutely lived up to the hype from when I was researching my original Japan trip, and I’ll be frequently coming back. Please open up some more Utah locations!“

“Consistently excellent food, friendly service and great atmosphere, all at amazingly affordable prices. My daughter and I love coming here!“

“My wife is a foodie and wanted to show me this place. Upon entering I had my hesitations… but after trying the Curry Ramen I knew that I had just found my new favorite ramen place. I recommend this place to anyone who has a love for ramen! My son's also loved the pictures on the wall and especially the katana that was displayed on the Front counter!“

“Anastasia is really warm and welcoming, food is really good and portion is generous as well, the pork leg dish which is only served on certain Tuesdays, one of the best the dish you can get from there in my opinion, the pork leg is cooked to perfection, paired with a broth and veggies super delicious! Worth to try tuesdays special for sure!“

“Our server Lily was amazing! She suggested a few popular options of sushi and other foods and drinks. They were all amazing. Not too expensive and great atmosphere. Thank you.“

“Fun family experience and yummy food. The chef was very talented, lots of the normal hibachi experience: throwing eggs, fire, throwing shrimp in each persons mouth, etc. the food was delicious and each thing was the perfect temperature. They give everyone 2 sauces plus soy sauce on the table so you can season more as needed. We brought up an allergy to peas and she assured us they didn’t use it in the fried rice.“

“This has been a place I go to for years. The quality of the food is excellent and the service is outstanding. There is not a single thing about this place I would change. I go for birthdays, celebrations, and just about anytime I can. Shoutout to the incredible workers that make this place so great. It is a very comfortable and welcoming environment. Truly my favorite place to eat.“

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

“solid albacore and yellowtail on the bar and I had 7 creme brulees. 7 of 5 would recommend.“

“Gerardo was an amazing cashier!
He was nice, sweet and detailed about what I wanted. They didn't have any cold tea's and he made sure to get me a cup of ice with a straw. I also don't like cooked veggies, but he let me know he wasn't able to give me any of them unless they were cooked.
Awesome service!
Make him a manager!“

“Went there for the first time tonight with my husband! We will defiantly be back. Got fried calamari with 2 burritos one being the sumo California which is fried. Totally worth it! Plus it’s literally right down the street from my apartment. This will be a new favorite place for us“

“The cafe is so cute and delicious. We love the ambience of the restaurant and its on par with the snacks we had in Taiwan night market“

“I really enjoyed my visit to this Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and the staff were polite and attentive. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again. Highly recommend !“

“keyaki sushi is my favorite! i used to go to garage grill for my sushi nachos. then my best friend sent me a recommendation. ,,,, holy moly! I do wish they'd have an option on door dash to hold jalapenos and add other ingredients, like king crab and fish eggs. people would pay extra. I would! I highly recommend this place but be careful, if you have them, you will get addicted! best ever!“

“Very enjoyable! if you're looking for a quiet lunch or dinner spot, this is very pleasant. Good food! I enjoy having both Korean and Japanese options!“

“Service was fantastic. The food was beautifuly presented. The selection of rolls is great. The flavor of the rolls I ordered; I can only describe as a beautiful sensation of flavors and textures. I'm talking about, take my breath away type of experience. Best sushi I've had in my lifetime. Highly recommend eating here!“

“Oh my gosh this place is phenomenal! Not only is the Sushi rolled fresh for every order, the customer service is amazing! The lady who took our order was very nice, friendly and quick on her feet. Our order was delivered right to our table. And it was presenters to us in the way you'd expect it to be delivered to royalty. I highly recommend giving them a try. You won't regret it.“

“Excellent food! Tried their food truck at the Sandy food truck night and was thrilled when I found out they had a restaurant as well! We ordered less than a week later and still so yummmmy! Get the Enso with the Godzilla roll.“

“Simply delicious 🤤“

“First time and I’ll be back!“

“I have been coming here since they've opened and love their food. However, I am very disheartened lately how their cook Olden (I believe is his name) treats the other staff. He tends to get overwhelmed by tickets or special requests. When I've experienced this happening he seems as though he gets stressed out. Then he lashes out on the other staff around him, especially the owner's mother who works the register. I've experienced this on multiple occasions and it's frustrating to see. I love this place but it's beginning to make me not want to come here due to how he treats others. I have kept my mouth closed for the experience of other customers in the building. However, your staff don't deserve this type of treatment and I will be standing up for them the next time this happens in front of me. I've kept my mouth shut long enough.“

“Best Thai Food in Utah, Hands Down!“

“The food is always great at Tsunami. I made a mistake with my reservation and accidentally booked it for 2 people instead 5! I realized my mistake as our reservation was getting close. I called up and Ryan (Manager), upon hearing my situation was able to work with me and get all 5 of us seated right on time. I really appreciate the way he handled the whole thing. We'll keep going to Tsunami in Union Heights!“

“The all you can eat I had was so delicious with good price!“

“So so yummy , I don't think people know that you can order fresh made to order food here cause it's in Macy's supermarket but we got the twin peaks roll and it's so good and fresh and I'm so picky with sushi since growing up in California and finding a place with good sushi is hard in Utah we will definitely come back for the fresh made to order food .“

“The food at Ichiban Sushi & Grill is absolutely amazing! Everything was super fresh and flavorful — especially the sushi and grilled dishes. Kim was so friendly and attentive, and the restaurant has such a nice, cozy vibe. Definitely one of the best spots for sushi lovers!“

“This is our favorite go to for Japanese food. Always delicious, great sushi and ramen. Close to the theater makes it great for date night. Delicious mochi ice cream!!!

We also DoorDash this place often. We are obsessed.“

“The food is fresh and delicious and hot. Every bit of it is cooked to perfection. Idk how they do it but the vegetables (despite not being seasoned or roasted) are so flavorful and fresh and bright. The sauces and spices are wonderful and the meat is always cooked perfectly no matter which kind I get, as well as the rice. The service is friendly and again, the food is wonderful. I've come in a bit hangry once and they were good to me anyway. They've got it all figured out.“

“Every time we come here we are impressed. The food is good and it’s a cheap eat!“

“all the food was delicious 🤤😋“

“Food was delicious and fresh. The steak was tasty, but I wish it more tender to chew easily.

Everything was delicious. The waiter was mindful, patient and on top of things, inspite of how busy it became right when they opened.“

“Our whole family loves fortune cookie. They have the best service, best food and I am happy to have better access again from Herriman into Riverton. They have quick delivery service too and always take great care of us there and when they deliver.
Thank you guys!!!“

“We stopped by the Soy Sushi Bar and Grill for dinner, 4927 S State St, Murray, UT 84107 on the trip to visit my friend in Salt Lake City from my home town, Irvine, California . We have an opportunity to enjoy a great dinner, very fresh sashimi platter, playboy roll, seafood fried rice… We are surprise that in a small town like this place , we are able to find a great Japanese food that is as great as the Taiko Restaurant in My home town in Southern California …“

“Echoing what others have said: the food is consistently really good for the price. Unlike other discount sushi places, Yi Sushi’s rolls have a variety of ingredients, flavors, and textures instead of just tempura shrimp and imitation crab on repeat.
But their customer service is pretty bad. The food is good enough to put up with it, but beware of the following:
- They are soooo slow. It took them over 30 minutes to take our order…on a Tuesday night. Don’t make plans after dinner, you will be late to them
- They say they take reservations but don’t trust them to honor it. I knew they had one table that could sit 12-14 people and I called right when they opened in the morning to reserve for a group that large for a birthday dinner. They told me I had a reservation but when we arrived, another group was sitting at the one large group table. I told the hostess that I had made a reservation and she went over to the other group and talked to them, but then she came back and split my group up into two tables without an explanation, apology, or peace offering.“
