The food was really good for a buffet. I like how you have sushi that you can order as well as sushi from the buffet. The sushi that we did order came out in a timely manner, we weren't waiting long. We tried the Nana, UT, Mountain Fuji, and the dragon roll and they all tasted really good. The sushi we got from the buffet was also pretty fresh, and we loved how you had a variety of food to choose from. There's options for non seafood eaters, and also options for kids (fried, dumplings, etc). The dessert was also very tasty, we really enjoyed the crème brûlée. It was creamy with a nice caramelized hard sugar topping that was satisfying to crack into. The place was nice, clean, and spacious. Everything was organized nicely, and we really enjoyed our meal here. Would definitely recommend and already wanting to come back soon!

It's one of those places where you go because you're hungry and want options, not because you're craving something specific. The selection is decent, food is warm, and they keep things stocked. If you're looking for gourmet, this isn't it. If you're looking to eat a lot without spending a lot, it gets the job done. Would I go out of my way for it? Probably not. Would I go back if I'm in the area and starving? Sure.

It will be hard to find a better restaurant view in SLC than this one and the interior has a beautiful elegant vibe to it and it wasn't even busy when we were there for a weekend lunch. As for the food, I ordered the Pork Osso Buco - the pork was nice and tender and fell right off the bone. The rice had a nice flavor to it and the mango salsa complemented the dish with some fresh sweetness. My one slight point for improvement was that the pork could have been a bit more flavorful / seasoned more, but I still really enjoyed this dish. $34 was slightly on the pricey end but understandable given the quality of restaurant. The complimentary bread to start was also great, as it was soft and the berry jam was delicious. As mentioned, the environment is beautiful with floor-to-ceiling windows of the city views. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and the service speed was decent. They had plenty of seating available with no reservation needed. Overall, I would give The Roof 4.5 stars if I could, but will decide to be generous and give 5 stars for the uniquely beautiful views. Especially if you are visiting SLC for the first time like me, I would highly recommend dining at The Roof.

Our server was lacking personality and friendliness to aid us in decisions. Servers can make a mediocre meal taste fantastic. He had the chance to make a magnificent meal shine, but he didn't. He never wished our birthday girl a happy birthday. He never thanked us for coming nor asked us to come again. It was another sweet girl that asked us to take our plates so we could sit in comfort and she thanked us for dining there today. Our waiter let me sit with a huge spread of marinara sauce on a white table in front of me from the moment he took away my plate until we left. He filled our water and didn't do anything about it, he brought our dessert and still never noticed. He had many chances to wipe it but never did. Disappointing that service was not on the same level as the dining experience was intended to be.

Let's have a round of applause for how well‑done that meat was. I was literally chewing for days,…read moreand when I used my knife to cut through some pieces, the steak actually started to grain‑splinter -- never a good sign. Y'all also really know how to give a guy high blood pressure, because some of the meat was overly salty and overcooked -- especially the brisket. Please ease up on the salt moving forward. My mouth was tingling. And if y'all are repurposing the old meat into the brisket, at least mask it better or repurpose it into other dishes. My tastebuds were not prepared for that level of assault. As a steak lover, I usually get my steak medium rare, but out of the hour and 45 minutes I was eating there with my family, there was only one time the steak came out bloody. Every other time? Another round of applause -- well‑done, with a hint of medium well here and there. My table also got skipped a couple of times by one of the waitresses carrying the meat, but our main waitress was very responsive and respectful, so props to her. The menu states that you can request certain cuts, but apparently that rule has changed. When we requested a specific cut, we were told they have to go through the full rotation before serving it again. Long story short: just wait until the cut comes back around. If that's the case, remove that option from the menu -- it's misleading. Or simply tell us you're short‑staffed; we'd be more than understanding. Bacon‑wrapped beef was good. Top sirloin tasted good but was overcooked, same with the center cut. NY strip was overcooked, brisket was salty, linguica was overcooked, pineapple was solid. Not a lot of positives with the beef -- the only positive thing was that it was steak. Please watch those cook times and how much seasoning is going on the meat. That was a one and done meal.

Even when…read moreit's really busy, a group of 4 can be seated within 20 min and there's Hall Pass or The Bruce around to walk to if you wanna wander. The appetizers come with the hot pot and there are plenty of options to munch on while your ingredients heat up. Korean fried chicken, edamame, and gyoza are my favorites. After ordering your drinks, soup base, and meats (vegetarians get a cheaper option), you can get right to the veg/seafood buffet. They have a great sauce station and a big wall of different kinds of popular ramen packs to use if desired. Once you get settled, you can keep ordering the meats you like until you get full. I like to keep a little note of what I think of each one so I remember for next time. These are my personal opinions: 1 Mr Shabu ribeye - tender lean, best 2 oyster blade muscle - meatier but only ok 3 Mr. Shabu beef kurubi eye - chewy, wavy, not good 4 Mr. Shabu pork single rib belly - fatty, bad 5 US wagyu beef round eye - tender lean, good 6 US wagyu beef clod eye - jerky striated texture, bleh 7 Mr. Shabu beef boneless short rib - oily but in a good way, little chewy, great flavor 8 Mr. Shabu pork collar butt - fatty but comes apart easy, ok 9 Mr. Shabu lamb shoulder - no Usually if I'm playing it real safe with just two, I pick 1 and 7 :) I hope you come to try all the different flavors for yourself!

First of all, appetizers did not leave a good impression. We got the corn cheese, Korean fried…read morechicken, and mushroom beef. The corn cheese was pretty good actually, but the korean fried chicken was hecka dense. The meat wasn't dense, but the starchy layer on the exterior was really stiff. Didn't taste like the other korean fried chickens I've had. The mushroom beef was really salty.. and the beef itself was really tough. Next, I feel like the selection here is pretty small. There's not a lot to choose from at the bar area, though I admit that I am pretty impressed by their ramyun collection. Their crabs were literally minuscle, and I find it extraneous that they serve their noodles in bits. Yeah, you read it right: bits. They cut up their noodles, probably because it is easier to pick up with the tongs. But, is it even noodles at that point? The staff was pretty lethargic today, even though it wasn't busy at all. Took me a while to get their attention for more meats. They do have some great meat, but in my opinion, it really is a hit or miss. Stray away from the meats that start with "MR. SHABU", because they're not the best. The ones I've had were too lean or sometimes tough. However, I think the cleanliness of this place is on point: shiny tables shiny counters, and dry floors.

The vibe of the restaurant was so quiet and chill, the table settings were lovely and the waiter/host didn't let our water run out at all. The service was excellent the whole way through. I can't believed I've lived within 5 minutes of this place for so long and never knew it existed. They have a buffet from noon to 2:30 I'm definitely going to hit up soon. I didn't even take pictures of the food because I was too busy eating it!! I'll have to snag some when I come back. DO NOT sleep on Gurkhas!!

Extremely generous portions and even more lamb than what I had expected to come for that price. The service was so friendly and sweet. There was a live music when we came, and they were pretty good. The place is huge and very bright. It appears from the buffet that they might have a buffet lunch, but I'm not sure about that. We had the rasmalai for dessert. It took a couple of bites for our taste buds to adjust to the strange taste and texture. But we ate the whole thing. It is spiced with cardamom, which is supposed to be good for your stomach after a meal like this. Oh, and the heat level. We ordered no heat in the butter lamb, so it just had a hint of spice. I ordered a three out of five on the lamb biryani, and it made my face sweat, but it was so delicious. The raita served with it cut the heat somewhat. I would absolutely come back here and try something different as well.
