Gotta admit: we were skeptical visiting a sushi restaurant in landlocked state, but this was one of our favorite dining establishments to try on vacation. It came highly recommended to us. My suggestion would be to get a reservation because it can get busy. (We went on a Friday night and asked to be on the waiting list; were told it might be an hour wait and decided to take a walk around the block but several parties must have cancelled because 30-35 minutes later we were seated.) Also note: this place is more sushi fusion than a traditional sushi restaurant. Our server was Zach, and he was friendly and kind. He also was extremely attentive and accommodating! He explained the sushi might take a while, but everything else would come out quick. He alone was of the highlights of the night. For dinner, we started with the Green Papaya Salad, shared the Surf and Turf Large Plate, tried the Imagine roll, and finished with the Candy Cap Panna Cotta. Everything was really tasty, but the my two favorite foods of the night were the sablefish in the Surf and Turf and the panna cotta. We also got the Uchi Old Fashioned and the Tamarind Sour, really yummy. This place is a must try if you are in the SLC area, you will not be disappointed!

Wow... Just wow. I didn't expect the best sushi I have had in years to be in Salt Lake City. The Surf and Snow roll was not something I would normally get based on the ingredients. We got it and were blown away woth the flavor combination. It was outstanding. The simple tuna roll was also perfect. I have not had sushi this fresh and vibrant ever and I am so happy we came here. Teriyaki chicken was great as well and those shishito peppers were unreal. Truly a great experience and worth the short wait.

This is one of my all time favorite sushi places. They serve the best high quality fish, incredibly fresh and flavorful. Their cocktails are equally delicious. I love sitting at the bar here because it feels like a more intimate experience. However, other than that, it’s a must visit spot.

Easily the best sushi in all of SLC. The fun appetizer and traditional entrees are worth every penny. I savored every bite of my amazing rolls. I highly recommend the torched sablefish and Spanish mackerel nigiri. The flavor is excellent …

I have been here a few times and always enjoy the food. This sushi restaurant has the widest variety of fish I’ve ever seen to choose from and it is always prepared perfectly. Prices are a little steep but well worth it. Service is usually pretty prompt to take your order and the first round usually comes out pretty quickly but they don’t really check back and if you place a second order it seems to take a lot longer. I will always stop my here for dinner when I’m in Salt Lake!
