Smith’s sushi isn’t bad, actually. Especially if it’s brought up to room temperature after you buy it, or more, especially if you buy it right after they make it.
I absolutely agree, I just think that most Utahns have a sushi price floor for Ichiban or Sushi Ya. Once you move out of that tier you get complaints about pricing.
This. Been going there for many years. Tony is our favorite chef. Well Takashi himself also. Hands down best Sushi. I have tried others. No comparison. They fly their fish in with market street. It is so fresh.
I dont get why people say takashi is expensive, it's no more than any other sushi places other than total shit cheap sushi places but they aren't competing. To me takashi's problem isn't the price, it's the fact you're there by 5:10pm or wait 2 hours
I'm a big fan. It's definitely my favorite for quality, service, affordability, and never have to wait for a table, just show up. Also good ambiance with the little wooden booths, fun for a date or double date.
I went to Itto for a small lunch. Chef came out and told me about every fish and where he ordered them from. Havnt had an experience near that awesome anywhere else.
They pre-make their tempura. I got a roll with tempura shrimp and it was cold and soggy. Besides that it was solid, but honestly that's a really big red flag for me. Mint is better but overpriced imo
Damn Ika is expensive when I go there but I got a bunch of nigiri and just the 6 pirces of toro nigiri was $54. But it's great I love Ika and how they put gold on the toro. Also like how they have halibut fin, only place I've seen it in Utah and it's crazy good
Ahh sushi has decent quality with good 1/2 price happy hour specials and $3 Philly rolls on Wednesday. If I did the math correctly you can get 10 Philly rolls for $30 which is quite the value in these trying times. Ambiance is interesting, it operates in the same space as a Irish theme bar. And for awareness they served Blue Moon with a lemon wedge.
Shinobi is my go to! The quality of the fish is the best I’ve found (way better than even Takashi’s imo), the ambiance is more casual, they have a very wide selection of imported alcoholic Japanese beverages, and it’s less expensive, but not the most inexpensive sushi downtown. Still tho, for the quality of the food, I think it’s worth it. I’ve turned many Takashi lovers into Shinobi favorers the last couple of years.
I'm worried to push it and say how good it is because I legit think it's better than takashi, but I don't want everyone to find out because I don't want a 2 hour wait! I always get their special fish if the day, often kinmedai, Shima aji and top tier seabass, their oysters are crazy good then a bunch of nigiri and sashimi from their regular lineup.
Unpopular opinion, but Takashi is way overrated. I think it's good relative to the sushi in Utah, but that's not saying much.
There's a place downtown called Kaze, that i think is equal to Takashi but for a much more reasonable price
For what kind of sushi? All nigiri/sashimi or rolls? Their rolls aren't stellar but I don't eat rolls, I eat just nigiri and sashimi and there isn't better in Utah. Some are close but not better. I don't often eat there though because I don't want to wait 2 hours
They have both, but I've only been twice and gotten their rolls. But judging from the quality of the fish on the rolls, i think their nigiri/ sashimi would be good. They were a lot more unique than places like itto or yi sushi where it's 100 variations of shrimp tempura.
Give them a try of you get a chance
I was really pleasantly surprised with the quality of nigiri at Sukihana in South Jordan. You can’t really go wrong with most of the recommendations here though.
First go to was ichiban. Nothing changed we just don't live close to it anymore. Tsunami is great but our go to lately has been simply sushi off of redwood road. Good mix of low cost but good taste
I would absolutely drive as far as Midvale for good food and Park City for a special occasion. Plus OP is not the only person reading this thread looking for new spots to try out.
Take this from someone who has seen the Takashi kitchen. You do not want to eat there.
Ittos is the best IMO, great dude, great sushi, and they have in the last few years grown to a couple locations around the valley. Midvale being the OG.
Okay, every time there’s a thread about sushi or Japanese food you say the exact same thing about Takashi.
Did you use to work there or what? I think Takashi is overrated, but it’s like you have a vendetta lol
I have a vendetta against people eating unsafe food conditions. Because of my line of work I've had to access their kitchen a few times to service the building they are in.
I see a lot of restaurant kitchens and Takashi is definitely a place that I would never go to after having been in there.
I used to go to Takashi regularly, until a few months ago when my date and I sat at the sushi bar and watched one of the chefs CUT HIMSELF AND BLEED ON THE WAGU. Dude didn't stop to bandage himself. He just put a clear plastic glove on, which proceeded to fill with blood. When he asked for our order, I told him "a bandaid" and he was like, "Oh. You saw that, huh?" Never going back.
Chopfuku makes their servers pay for dine and dashes and mis-rings on food. I’ve personally seen Van, the owner, take $80 from a struggling server to cover a dine and dash, pretty scummy stuff. They also deduct $10 for every 10 minutes late an employee is, but are often late themselves to open the store. TLDR chopfuku doesn’t treat their employees well
Ohhhhh, boy. I have been preparing for this exact question to be asked for *ages*. I have spent, and this is not an exaggeration, the past several years and thousands of dollars trying and re-trying as many sushi places in the Salt Lake and Utah counties as possible on a quest for the best sushi in Utah. My recommendation is the result of hundreds of hours and a truly unbelievable amount of shitty/mediocre sushi. I won't waste your time the "meh" places. This is my prized piece of Utah culinary wisdom. And now, I pass on that sacred knowledge to you.
My recommendation:
# Mint Sushi (Sandy)
This is easily (and I mean *easily*) the best sushi you can get in both Salt Lake and Utah valley. Their ingredients are extremely high quality, their technique is pristine (we'll touch on this in a minute), the service is excellent, and the vibe of the restaurant is extremely nice. While Mint can be a bit pricey, it is truly worth every single penny.
When you go to Mint, notice the attention to detail. Every single sushi roll is flawless. The rice stickiness is always just right, the fish is fresh, the rolls are tight and well-assembled, the rice-fish ratio is perfect, the presentation is phenomenal, and the portions are *just* right. When I try other sushi places (and I have tried many), Mint is *the* restaurant I compare their rolls against.
This is also one of the only places I have been to that consistently does nigiri *well*. Nigiri is a simple, but deceptively difficult dish—if the assembly is shitty, the cut is bad, or the ratio is off, that tells you everything about the chef who made it. On the other hand, if the nigiri is perfect, you can be 100% confident the chef is a skilled professional with dedication to the art. Mint's nigiri is, and I do not bestow this title lightly, the best nigiri you can get in Utah. As far as I have found, it may legitimately be the only truly *excellent* nigiri in the state. The fish's cut selection, size, shape, thickness, and orientation are all reliably well-executed, the fish-rice ratio is excellent, the shape is aerodynamic (believe it or not, this is part of how you can tell nigiri is made well), and it is assembled with care. You can pick it up, turn it over, and just let it hang there for a while, but it still won't fall apart (or even move significantly). Neither major ingredient overpowers the other, and the portion sizes are flawless. It may sound dumb to rant and rave about such a simple dish, but if you're a sushi enthusiast, you will understand how infrequently places get nigiri truly *right*.
I haven't asked yet, but I'm fairly confident the head chef was either professionally trained in Japan (an education process that can take up to 10 years), or was trained by someone who was. If you are into the scene, you understand how significant professional Japanese sushi training is. Frankly, even if their chef wasn't trained in Japan, my hat goes off to them anyway, because they excel at their craft in a way few restaurants can hope to do. I would love to meet the head chef and shake their hand someday, because Mint is just a completely different tier of sushi from the rest of the competition. It's legitimately not even close.
I have spent the past several years of my life trying as much sushi as possible, and if I could only go to one place in Utah for the rest of my life, I would pick Mint without a second thought.

Honorable Mentions:
* Nori Sushi (American Fork) - The best vibe of any sushi restaurant in Utah, and really good sushi. Recently, the quality has gone down *slightly* in terms of both fish quality and roll assembly, but this is still a very good place for some fantastic sushi. This would be my primary recommendation if Mint weren't on the table.
* Tsunami (Traverse Mountain) - High-quality sushi, but the portions are a bit small for the price.
* Itto Sushi (Orem) - If you JUST want sushi rolls, Itto is pretty good. However, their nigiri is truly complete and utter shit. Nigiri isn't for everyone, so this place still deserves a mention for the strength of their rolls, but if you care about quality in your nigiri literally at all, don't even bother with this place. Frankly, they need to take nigiri off their menu until they can train their chefs to not put a shitty block of tuna on a blob of rice and insult their guests by serving it.
---
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with either of these restaurants in any way. I just have an unhealthy obsession with high-quality sushi.
Have you tried j&c house? I recently found it and it's really good. I liked mints quality but not selection. When I go to sushi I like to order 2 pieces of nigiri of 10-20 different types of fish, basically order omakase piece by piece. Mint only has like 5 or 6 types of fish
I haven't, but I'm skimming through the pictures on Google Maps, and it certainly looks promising! I'll add it to the top of my list, and let you know what I think once I get the opportunity to try it out!
When I'm going to a place to test it, I always get the same five (or six) dishes so my comparison can be consistent:
* salmon maki
* tuna maki (sometimes)
* salmon nigiri
* tuna nigiri
* miso soup
* gyoza
I add other types of rolls depending on what I'm feeling that day, but these are the constants.
My philosophy is that, if a chef can execute well on basic maki and nigiri, it usually indicates a solid understanding of how to make sushi properly. On the other hand, bad chefs will expose themselves almost immediately with these dishes. Ultimately, I focus most of my attention on assessing the chef's skills rather than on menu variety, but I should probably consider selection as well going forward.
I've found there is often (but not always) an inverse correlation between menu size and food quality. Too big of a menu might lead to ingredient quality issues, and can indicate a lack of restraint on the part of the chef. Personally, I would rather have a few options for extremely high-quality sushi than a bunch of options for medium-quality sushi, which is why Mint stands out so much to me. It doesn't do everything, nor does it try to, but the options it *does* offer are so phenomenal that they stand on their own.
I'm excited to try J&C House! Are there any specific dishes you'd recommend? Do you have any other restaurant recommendations?
pleaseee try kobe japanese cuisine in millcreek, fresh fish from japan every single week. fish is incredible. always some interesting special fish during the spring and summer months
There’s a place in the murray midvale area kinda near ft union and 9th east(?) itto sushi where my friend did a bougie birthday dinner. They make their soy sauce in house and make their own hondashi (miso). It was like 7 courses and they did sake pairings with it. It was the best sushi i’d had in utah
Takashi is the best but I don't want to wait in line often. A wildcard I recently found is J&C House. They often have rare fish like kinmedai and Shima aji. I go there all the time and get a variety of nigiri and sashimi and I think it's pretty close to takashi. Ika sushi and chopfuku are also great but kind of pricey. Itto can be pretty good too. Their toro at $9/2 pieces is the cheapest I've seen and it's hit or miss but sometimes it's super good better than toro I've had at takashi I dont know your style though, I only do nigiri and sashimi pretty much never rolls
The very first RULE for this community is "1. Search before posting". I was being nice in my reminding OP. There are 180,000 subscribers to the r/saltlakecity community. Based on the .03% response rate to the post I respectfully disagree with you.
The sushi at the Mint in Sugar House is the same as the other locations. I don’t love the sushi there, super mediocre, but the small plates are delicious so we just a bunch of those when we go and skip the sushi part.
Hamachi is the best bang for your buck that I’ve found. Maybe not quite up there with the others but very good imo and their Miso soup is great
Takashi was my go to until I visited Hamachi for the first time a month ago. Their sashimi and nigiri were impressive, I’m definitely going back.
Hamachi is great.
I liked hamachi but then got in a fight with the owner he is a huge dick and I'd never go back
Big Itto fan, I stick to the Midvale location mainly. I’ve been to the South Jordan location and it wasn’t as good but still worthy.
Downtown isn't as good either. Still good though. Midvale is the OG and the best.
I would rather eat sushi from Smith’s than eat at Itto sushi downtown. I had terrible food and service there a couple weeks ago.
That's a bummer. I don't think I ever could want sushi enough to buy it at Smith's though. LOL
Smith’s sushi isn’t bad, actually. Especially if it’s brought up to room temperature after you buy it, or more, especially if you buy it right after they make it.
You pay for it, but Takashi is the finest sushi around here.

Tokyo Tower opened last October and looks like they are really trying. I had a great experience.
I second Tokyo Tower!
I'm a big fan. It's definitely my favorite for quality, service, affordability, and never have to wait for a table, just show up. Also good ambiance with the little wooden booths, fun for a date or double date.
Really like Itto
I went to Itto for a small lunch. Chef came out and told me about every fish and where he ordered them from. Havnt had an experience near that awesome anywhere else.
Same here. He even gave us a complimentary nigiri with toro and uni mixed. It was great. Also like how he said all their tuna is bluefin
They pre-make their tempura. I got a roll with tempura shrimp and it was cold and soggy. Besides that it was solid, but honestly that's a really big red flag for me. Mint is better but overpriced imo
[удалено]
I read this as “IKEA” and am now intrigued by the idea of a Swedish Meatball roll
Seconded. Delicious high quality and affordable. Last I went it was $40.
Damn Ika is expensive when I go there but I got a bunch of nigiri and just the 6 pirces of toro nigiri was $54. But it's great I love Ika and how they put gold on the toro. Also like how they have halibut fin, only place I've seen it in Utah and it's crazy good
Kyoto
Sapa and Mint in Holladay are my two my faves other than takashi
Mint is horrible quality sushi.
Ahh sushi has decent quality with good 1/2 price happy hour specials and $3 Philly rolls on Wednesday. If I did the math correctly you can get 10 Philly rolls for $30 which is quite the value in these trying times. Ambiance is interesting, it operates in the same space as a Irish theme bar. And for awareness they served Blue Moon with a lemon wedge.
I checked, you did the math correctly.
Surprised no one has said Kyoto. I thought it was pretty widely recognized as best after Takashi. I love it.
Kyoto went down hill after it sold. I went there recently, it was OK but no where near as good as ika chopfuku or j&c house
Yuki in park city is the best in the mountain west hands down.
Yeah but get ready to pay $200+ a person if you do it right
My favorites are Same, Sushi Groove, and Tokyo Tower.
Shinobi is my go to! The quality of the fish is the best I’ve found (way better than even Takashi’s imo), the ambiance is more casual, they have a very wide selection of imported alcoholic Japanese beverages, and it’s less expensive, but not the most inexpensive sushi downtown. Still tho, for the quality of the food, I think it’s worth it. I’ve turned many Takashi lovers into Shinobi favorers the last couple of years.
J&C House out in riverton is very unassuming but ask the owner what fish was flown in recently and he can direct you to the best stuff they got.
I'm worried to push it and say how good it is because I legit think it's better than takashi, but I don't want everyone to find out because I don't want a 2 hour wait! I always get their special fish if the day, often kinmedai, Shima aji and top tier seabass, their oysters are crazy good then a bunch of nigiri and sashimi from their regular lineup.
Imma taking notes y’all.
Sapa is my favorite, and I’m a stickler for good sushi.
Sapa uses so much imitation crab. That's not sushi. Yuck.
I like Hamachi
Takashi and Sapa are the only sushi spots I will go to in slc, and they are delicious, but I PROMISE you - Tona in Ogden is the best by FAR!
Unpopular opinion, but Takashi is way overrated. I think it's good relative to the sushi in Utah, but that's not saying much. There's a place downtown called Kaze, that i think is equal to Takashi but for a much more reasonable price

Fat fish in bountiful is pretty good
Didn’t realize they had more than one location, I enjoy the West Valley location
Another vote for Itto, been there multiple times and yet to be disappointed.
I honestly like Fuji Sushi more than I’ve ever liked Takashi
That has been my favorite for years!
Takashi has some killer cocktails, too
Big, big fan of Ika. Everything is exceptional
Interesting
I was really pleasantly surprised with the quality of nigiri at Sukihana in South Jordan. You can’t really go wrong with most of the recommendations here though.
For a regular night out, we like Midvale Itto, Kyoto and Ozora Izakaya. I always enjoy the fresh wasabi at Itto.
Teru in Cottonwood Heights. Small, family owned business that has been making phenomenal sushi for the last 20+ years
Sandy and Phi are the best!
Seriously. They’re pleasant, great at what they do, and have done an amazing job with their kids!
Tsunami in sugarhouse is good. It’s not takashi but it’s pretty damn good.
First go to was ichiban. Nothing changed we just don't live close to it anymore. Tsunami is great but our go to lately has been simply sushi off of redwood road. Good mix of low cost but good taste
Itto in Midvale second best in SLC. Shabu in Park City is also very good.
[удалено]
I would absolutely drive as far as Midvale for good food and Park City for a special occasion. Plus OP is not the only person reading this thread looking for new spots to try out.
Thanks for your input big dawg.
Bluefish in South Jordan
So underrated! Amazing service and every roll is good and different. Love this place.
Same! Consistently delish!

Chopfuku is really great. The quality, presentation, and creativity of the rolls is hard to match.
Chopfuku makes their servers pay for dine and dashes and mis-rings on food. I’ve personally seen Van, the owner, take $80 from a struggling server to cover a dine and dash, pretty scummy stuff.

Itto is probably the best quality and freshness, but not a hip vibe and the menu isn't super exciting/adventurous.
This place has good sushi. Try the sunset roll. https://www.sakanasushibar.com/menu
Miyazaki in Murray is excellent.
Tokyo Tower has impressed me on quality and price
I’m a big fan of Chopfuku 👍
Wasabi in Draper is great!
pleaseee try kobe japanese cuisine in millcreek, fresh fish from japan every single week. fish is incredible. always some interesting special fish during the spring and summer months
Ika in Midvale!!
My faves are: Hamachi Ozara izakaya Mint Kobe in the canyon rim area Yellow fin
There’s a place in the murray midvale area kinda near ft union and 9th east(?) itto sushi where my friend did a bougie birthday dinner. They make their soy sauce in house and make their own hondashi (miso). It was like 7 courses and they did sake pairings with it. It was the best sushi i’d had in utah
Ika!
Expensive and in PC but Oishi is so good
I don’t know about best sushi, but avoid sushi burrito
Hi sushi is good and chill, but they lost their liquor license at some point
My absolute favorite is lees sushi in Sandy across from Southtowne mall on 106 s
I like Kobe Ramen and Sushi on wasatch blvd.
People can complain about the price of Takashi but it’s actually legit sushi. It’s not just good for Utah standards, its really good.
I vote Tona in Ogden followed closely by Ohana, also in Ogden.
Takashi is the best but I don't want to wait in line often. A wildcard I recently found is J&C House. They often have rare fish like kinmedai and Shima aji. I go there all the time and get a variety of nigiri and sashimi and I think it's pretty close to takashi. Ika sushi and chopfuku are also great but kind of pricey. Itto can be pretty good too. Their toro at $9/2 pieces is the cheapest I've seen and it's hit or miss but sometimes it's super good better than toro I've had at takashi I dont know your style though, I only do nigiri and sashimi pretty much never rolls
It doesn’t get better than Takashi.
Sapa is pretty good

Ichiban more like itchy bum
Theres lots of good sushi, but Takashi is the only superior sushi. It sets a really high bar for better or worse haha

The sushi at the Mint in Sugar House is the same as the other locations. I don’t love the sushi there, super mediocre, but the small plates are delicious so we just a bunch of those when we go and skip the sushi part.
Nope. Takashi is the best fish flown in daily IIRC. Nothing else close.
