“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!“

“my family and I really enjoy Mr. Shabu. We have mainly been for the sushi, and have really liked it. The Playboy Roll, which is sort of my go to roll, I'm torn if they are number 1 or 2 when it comes to the place I like it the most. but we have enjoyed many other rolls their. but we also appreciate their wall of ramen which is great for my daughter who is trying to like more sushi, but isn't all the way there yet. it make it easy for her to still get a full dinner, but also try some sushi as well. Any ways, if your looking for some good sushi, give Mr. Shabu a try.“

“Best Japanese restaurant for family and friends , and kid friendly.“

“The FOOD was even better on a lunch special price. It had all of this pictured (Haiku) and miso soup to start. I left feeling so full and filled with quality food. The service was efficient, friendly, and consistent throughout the lunch. The atmosphere was perfect with natural lighting and cultural touches throughout the restaurant. 10/10 recommend! I'll be sure to be back for the dinner on a date night.“

“This is by far my favorite ramen place in Utah. I’ve been so many times and realized I’ve never written a review. As someone who has spent a considerable amount of time in Japan their Tsukemen is the closest thing I’ve found to Japan. I get it every time and it’s 100% my comfort meal. I can’t recommend it enough. I bring all my family and friends here.“

“We are big fans of Koyote, especially the vegan Tantan-men and tofu whip, so when this Japanese-Italian fusion restaurant opened we were eager to check it out. Thankfully, there are vegan options on the menu, and they’re quite good. An additional vegan entrée would make the choices even better.

The décor of the restaurant is stunning. The wine selection was pretty good. The service was great as well. Overall, a great addition to Salt Lake City’s dining scene.“

“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 😍“

“atención. servicio y sabor.“

“excellent food, great customer service, and a nice chill atmosphere. This is a great place to bring your family for a night out, they're fast so it's a nice takeout option and it's definitely a place you should visit for lunch. Another plus is the menu has a great variety so there's no way you won't find something you really like“

“I've eaten here several times now. Haven't been disappointed yet. Great fresh fish and an awesome atmosphere. Had a box delivered to my office last week as well. Can't beat that!“

“I ordered the pan-seared Chilean Seabass, and it was cooked to absolute perfection—silky, tender, and beautifully seasoned. The truffle mashed potatoes were delicious, with the truffle flavor really standing out without overpowering the dish. The miso-truffle glaze and the leeks tied everything together nicely; the sautéed spinach was a bit to bland for my tasting. Service was excellent throughout, and the atmosphere is quite enjoyable. Highly recommend“

“第一次来 Sapa Sushi Bar，整体体验非常满意！🥢 店内装修融合了现代感和亚洲风情，很适合和朋友聚会，也适合一个人静静享受晚餐。💬 服务员也非常友善，会耐心介绍菜品，还不时来加水、确认口味是否满意，感觉被重视。💵 价格略高，但整体物有所值，毕竟品质和体验都在线。“

“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!“

“I recently went to this restaurant, and I loved it! You can order different types of sushi. You should try the poke it’s amazing! Also, make sure to get the sake with strawberries; it’s absolutely delicious. Overall, I give this restaurant a 10/10!“

“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!“

“I’ve been eating there for decades. Always great food!“

“just ordered pickup from Takumi Sushi, id recommend this restaurant to anyone. Really great price and a cool atmosphere.“

“I had never been to ramen legend before and it didn’t disappoint. My cousin got a spicy curry ramen. I usually get a pork broth ramen but decided to try something new. I got a chicken broth ramen and it had fried chicken in it. The fried chicken was great and crispy. My 1 year old daughter also loved it! I would definitely order it again!“

“really great food, great ambience amazing service, overall enjoyable experience!“

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

“Food at this location has been great every time I go here. I gave 4 stars on service because the cashier didn't give me my receipt and stared at me and my baby as soon as I walked in the building. The gentleman making the food was kind and happy and efficient and my food was cooked properly. Although I still had vegetables on my plate even though I told the cashier I didn't want any vegetables. Other than that I would recommend and try again!“

“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“

“I love almost everything here, and always go out of my way if I'm near one or see th we food truck! the one thing I did just have that was downright bizzar, and borderline gross was the Raspberry chicken. I'm curious if there is anyone thats gotten it more than once. I just sort of speed ate the chicken so I didn't waste the money, but couldn't handle the rice with that actual salad dressing, super sweet and tart sauce. then it also has blue cheese on it which is very strange, lol.“
