- Steve Schneider (Fiveten10@aol.com) [February 11th 2003]
"I was very unhappy with the service here. If you are a serious sushi connoisseur I would not recommend the happy sumo. Nothing spectacular fishwise and most of the rolls are california rolls with different toppings on top. Most with too much mayo and unagi sauce! I would have to say it's the Mcdonalds of sushi. "
- anonymous [Sept 25th 2005]
"The Happy Sumo is the most amazing place in Utah to go for sushi. The atmosphere is so cool without being too pretentious. It also has the most amazing sushi ever! I've been to just about every place in SLC for sushi, and NO PLACE compares to the Sumo! I recently went back to the Sumo after being away for a trip and they had updated their menu with so many new rolls! I am addicted to the Baked Lobster Roll, Rock Shrimp Roll, and the Lotus Roll. Oh and they have new desserts, although Mount Fugi will always be my fav, I loved, loved, loved The Chocolate Trilogy. I don't know how they do it, but they always have the freshest, tastiest sushi. I recommend the Happy Sumo to everyone who loves great sushi! "

Jasmine China Bistro & Sushi Bar

Name:Jasmine China Bistro & Sushi Bar
Address:4810 S. Highland Circle, Salt Lake City, UT 84117
Phone:(801) 278-6688
Opened:Mon-Thu: 11.30am -9.30 pm, Fri,Sat: 11.30am-10.30pm,Sun: 4.30pm-9.30pm
Review:" While a little off the beaten path, Jasmine is certainly a little find. Known mostly for their chinese food, Jasmine also houses a complete sushi bar, with a Japanese chef, fish flown in daily, and innovative rolls. The fish selection is small, but the quality seems excellent. Portions are small for rolls, but fish by the piece is very generous. Definitely a high-quality restaurant, with post-and-beam construction, an outdoor patio by a stream, and thoughtful decorations. Ike, the japanese chef (Hasimoto-San) is still working on his English, but the language barrier is easy to ignore once he starts making innovative dishes and rolls on the house :) It's definitely a very nice restaurant, and though they are aware of this fact, it is not at all pretentious.

Address:67 West 100 South, Salt Lake City, UT
Phone:(801) 328-0929
Opened:Tue-Sun: 11.30am - 9.30pm
Reviews:"Traditional Japanese food with eight eating rooms and a Sushi bar across from the Salt Lake City Convention Center. Priced well. Second location in Park City."
- Steve Schneider (Fiveten10@aol.com) [January 8th 1998]
"That Mikado was disappointing is to say the least. The night I went there they had run out of Edamame (can you believe that from a Japanese restaurant?), the server asked me not to order sushi because they were 'too busy' and it would have taken over 35 minutes to get two pieces of Maguro! The Miso Soup was definitely one to forget. The Miso Marinated Sea Bass was acceptable. In conclusion I would not recommended this place. "
- Carlo Gramolini (cgramolini@msn.com) [June 7th 2005]
"My family dines there twice in January 06 and on both occasions had good quality food at a fair price, service on one occasion was slow, but it was new years eve, I have eaten sushi in Tokyo many times and Mikado is consistently ok. "

Sakura Sushi CLOSED !

Name:Sakura Sushi CLOSED !
Address:6196 Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Reviews:"This small restaurant (8-seat sushi bar and perhaps a dozen tables) may lack the ambience and prestige of some of its overrated competitors, but on a typical night their sushi is just as good, and their prices are far more reasonable. If you´re looking for a ´scene´ head for Park City. If you want decent sushi at a fair price, visit Sakura."

Shogun

Name:Shogun
Address:321 S. Main Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84111
Phone:(801) 364-7142
Opened:11.30am - 3pm, 5.30pm - 11pm
Reviews:"We have been to nearly every sushi bar in Utah, and Shogun is BY FAR the best. It is the best simply because they have the largest selection of the freshest fish. They have many things that are usually only found in Japan. This is not Americanized sushi, but the real thing. Takashi is the head sushi chef, and everything he makes is just fantastic. Make sure you sit at the sushi bar!"
- John Zollinger (johnz@usa.net) [December 14th 1998]
"Shogun gets much of its fish directly from Tsukiji, the center of all things sushi imho. If you want japanese food with the quality of service and attention you´d get in Japan, go to Shogun. The other sushi restaurants in Utah serve rolls and only work for an American appetite."
- jblumen@xmission.com) [May 31st 1999]
"Anyone who knows me, know´s I´am a sushiaholic. And who would know good sushi better? Shogun is the best there is. Out of the 13 different sushi bars, in 5 different states, that I´ve eaten at so far. Shogun still has the freshest and most extensive variety of fish, expertly prepaired in the largest variety of different ways. Once you have experienced Shogun, this is what you will compare everything else too. Takashi is a master of his trade, that is always creating delicious new items that are only available at Shogun. A special thanks to Takashi and all of the wonderful staff at Shogun that have made every visit a uniquely increditable meal. Thanks for making me feel at home. I´ll see you there tonight (1/8/2000) and as often as possible in the future."

Phone:(801) 519-9595
Review:"The review I wrote for Shogun on 1/8/2000 now applies to TAKASHI owned by Takashi Gibo the head sushi chef formerly at Shogun. The review has been updated as follows 'Anyone who knows me, know´s I'm a sushiaholic. And who would know good sushi better? TAKASHI is the best there is. Out of the 23 different sushi bars, in 8 different states, that I have eaten at so far. TAKASHI has the freshest and most extensive variety of fish, expertly prepared in the largest variety of different ways. Once you have experienced TAKASHI, this is what you will compare everything else too. Takashi is a master of his trade, that is always creating delicious new items that are only available at TAKASHI. A special thanks to Takashi and all of the wonderful staff at TAKASHI that have made every visit a uniquely incredible meal. Thanks for making me feel at home. I´ll see you there tonight (7/12/05) and as often as possible in the future. The list of sushi bars that I've eaten at has grown a bit since my review of Shogun but with no hesitation I can assure you that Takashi Gibo is still the best and there is only one place you can find him, at his new home TAKASHI!
