    Interior
    Blake M.

    Beautiful interior. Driving up it was not what I expected. The service was amazing and very kind. Music was the right volume and a great vibe. The food was great and I would come back again.

    It was my dining partner's birthday and I asked him where he wanted to go to celebrate. This was the place he selected, and I was thrilled to experience it for the first time. The restaurant is in a strip mall and is quaint in size, but mighty in performance. The ambience is a little dark and moody-I love the black walls and the string lights-it's a total vibe. For being such a small place, they've figured out the acoustics well and it isn't overpoweringly loud, which I appreciate. Seating is cozy but comfortable and everything is beautiful. The menu is modest-not multiple pages like I've seen elsewhere. That actually feels like a good thing-no need to try to cater to every possible roll out there, pick what you do well and stick with it. Although I enjoyed all the rolls I tried, there were two that were a little tricky to eat. I prefer being able to pop a whole piece in my mouth at once, but the Salmon Crunch and the Spider rolls were so big that I have to cut them up. Otherwise, it was a great experience, and I enjoyed everything. I'll be back!

    Came here with a group of 10, and our waitress was so sweet! She let us know she was new, but honestly, she did such a great job managing our large party and making sure our gluten-intolerant friends were taken care of. She kept drinks topped off and checked in on us frequently, which we really appreciated. We ordered a ton of sushi, and they brought it out on a huge platter that looked amazing. I had the gyoza, which were good, the soy sauce they serve with them was a little different, but in a good way. I also tried the Vegas roll, which was tasty. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their food too. The restaurant was clean and had such nice vibes with the hanging lights above us and little table lamps. Overall, a really good experience!

    Assortment of Fish
    Curtis R.

    First time here and pleased with the quality of the food. Appetizers started with seaweed, edamame and potstickers! The picture provided was the first course followed by a plate of Special Rolls. The fish was fresh, service was good. My suggestion is the serve the large platter as two boards primarily so we can start to enjoy the food instead of waiting for the big board to be populated considering there was only 3 in the party. The place was busy all night which tells you so something. We did have some of the Kobe beef that was also good although never had it prepared as a slice of meat on rice. The other downside, if you partake, no beer or liquor. In most other states you can BYOB but Utah doesn't allow it! Place is on my top 3 at the moment.

    Holy cow!! I'm never eating anywhere else again!! Not only is the atmosphere outstanding but the servers, especially Angel, were so knowledgeable and kind. The actual sushi itself was amazing. Everything was so obviously fresh and made with intention. 10/10 recommend!!!!!

    This is an update to a previous review. Shoga has become our go to place. The sushi continues to be the best in the area. We get very few rolls. They always have some interesting fish. They source the best Uni. We almost always sit at the bar. The seats, unlike many places, have nice backs and are comfortable. By interacting with the chefs, we get more interesting food. This last trip, they had pressed sushi. What a treat. Finally, they serve nice miso soup, and it's hot. Everywhere else just seems to be warm. It matters.

    This has been my staple sushi restaurant for a few years now. They consistently deliver great quality, it's reasonably priced beautiful and delicious. Every time I order I find myself browsing the menu wondering if I've made the right choice because all the specialty rolls look so good! Our agadashi tofu was fried to perfection and silky smooth. The broth was rich and a tad sweeter than I like but still delicious. The interiors are straight forward - nothing too fancy. They do have the classic mood lighting that you find in most sushi restaurants. The service is very attentive, helpful, and kind. The parking is easy bc they share a large lot with a variety of other businesses. I love this business and they will always have my service as long as the quality keeps up!!

    Pork Ramen
    Valene G.

    This is my favorite sushi place, easily the best and highest quality I've ever had! I got the ramen this last time and it was incredible, too. The service is wonderful, they make sure you have everything you need and are very nice. It's a darker, cozier setting, and a full experience if you've not been to a sushi bar. It can be pricey, but the food lives up to it 110%.

    Incredible my group had the tonkatsu, katsu curry and some of the rolls. Everything was great and good portions. Ambience, music and service were all excellent as well would highly recommend!

    We were visiting from California and wanted a good sushi place. I looked through about 10 different reviews for sushi places in Utah. After a long search, I found this place. The food was great, not fishy at all, very fresh. The service was a little slow, but there was only one server. We went for lunch during the week, so it was too busy. I loved the ambiance. It was dim, had strands of lights hanging and not too loud. I would recommend this place to all locals and travelers. We will definitely be back here when we want sushi again.

    Seaweed squid salad - so good!
    Dawn K.

    Where is there a better sushi restaurant in the Orem/Provo area?? Tell me? You can't, because this is the best! Everything we ordered we loved!! Such great quality, flavor, generous portions, beautifully plated, the sweet waitress, everything was amazing! The appetizers we ordered were; Seaweed squid salad, some of the best I've had! Pot stickers, SO good! Seared tuna appetizer- delicious! Tempura vegetables were great! I can't remember the names of all the 6 rolls we ate, but for sure we got a dragon, rainbow, and mars, all the rolls were amazing!! Our least favorite was the cucumber roll, but honestly you will love whatever you get here!!

    Delicious Vegas Roll!

It's like ordering fried rice, being asked what type of rice you want (white, brown, etc.), then getting charged extra for the rice. Really not a great experience. Update after owner's reply: While I appreciate the owner's reply and acknowledgement, it is still fundamentally misleading. Another perhaps more appropriate example is ordering wings then realizing that you're being charged separately for the flavor. Instead of lowering the price by the amount for each flavor, why not keep the same price and just make it clearer that there are options for the flavor of the soup base. I've been to plenty of other ramen restaurants that offer different flavors of soup base and don't charge separate for it.

The food here was oddly bland. I'm not sure if the authenticity was there. I personally don't think I would come back, but I'm glad to have tried it once.

Popcorn Chicken: The Taiwanese popcorn chicken, which I heard was what this restaurant was popular for, was disappointingly simple in flavor.
