Still excellent! Great flavor, unreal roll selections. Clean dining space. Great staff!

Schrödinger's Sushi: Simultaneously Open and Closed Let me set the scene: It's 9:30 PM. The official hours for Sukiya Sushi & Japanese Buffet in Midvale clearly state they are open until 10:00 PM.¹ Silly me, living in a reality where words have meanings, I assumed "open until 10" meant I could actually eat there before 10. I walked in ready to drop some cash on seafood. Instead, I was intercepted by a hostess wearing enough makeup to successfully waterproof a mid-sized submarine. (I couldn't tell if she was a teenager or a middle-aged woman, but Sephora definitely hit their monthly quota on her face alone). She looked me dead in the eye and informed me that they "stop seating people at 9:30." Call me crazy, but if you refuse to do the primary function of a restaurant--seating and feeding people--at 9:30 PM, then your restaurant closes at 9:30 PM. You don't get to slap a "10:00 PM" sticker on the door just because the staff needs 30 minutes to mop the floors and gossip in the back. That entirely defeats the purpose of posted operating hours. I am 99% sure this phantom 9:30 cutoff is a rogue, employee-enforced rule so they can clock out early and get back to scrolling TikTok. If the owner has no clue his front-of-house staff is actively turning away paying customers 30 minutes before closing, he needs to investigate. And if he does know? Absolute shame on him. Do everyone a favor: either buy a dictionary so your staff can look up the definition of the word "open," or just change your hours to 9:30 PM. Until then, I'll take my appetite to a restaurant that actually knows how a clock works. read more

I was blown away by the food here. I am visiting Utah from Los Angeles for a weekend trip, and Los Angeles has some amazing Asian buffets. However, sukiya exceeded my expectations. It was actually really good and they offered so much variety. I loved the sashimi, standouts were the octopus and salmon which were so fresh! The crab legs were so yummy. Also, the lobster tail and a5 wagyu nigiri were STELLAR. The restroom was super clean. The service was amazing. They had so many delicious desserts, the mango mousse was the best. I highly recommend ! read more

As far as buffets go I really enjoyed this one. I tried using my first time to try everything and see what I didn't like, but I ended up really liking a lot of it. There were only a few dessert items, and the corn cheese lover roll I wasn't fond of, but otherwise very good. Service was also great, and we spend 75 for 2 of us. Much better than expected all round read more

What a fun spot! The inside is really clean and modern. Our server was a young super nice dude who took really good care of us. The rolls we got were good. The variety at the buffet was really great, with cooked and raw food. The fact that there were desserts was icing on the cake. The sushi options on the menu were a good variety too. I'll say there was one kind of awkward occurrence where they were cooking something fresh near the buffet and were trying to "sell it," like a lot of pressure for you to come get something even if you don't really want it. It didn't ruin the experience, just was a little off putting. We really loved our experience here and will be back for sure. read more

What a great find! All you can eat sushi with so many choices, including salads and desserts, with a large selection of hot and cold dishes. Spacious dining area, great service, and a fun indoor decor. Definitely worth the price; everything we tried was just fantastic! Family friendly, and tables can accommodate large groups as well. read more

Sukiya overall was fine since the food was good and they had a lot of variety to choose from. The unlimited sushi options we tried were good and the buffet items were fresh. Our experience with staff was less great. At one point, a group of employees were discussing whether or not they should return a cell phone that had been left behind by a low tipping customer. We also notice that people who were preparing sushi also were on their cell phones. Another was chewing their nails while maintaining the buffet line. It was not really the experience we hoped for. read more

First timers and definitely won't be the last! Amazing buffet options, although I wish they had the green beans choice! Otherwise, looooots of seafood options! Freshhhhhh! Not only do you have the buffet options but you can get sushi ordered as well! I personally went crazy with the dessert/sweets section.. but by that time I was so stuffed, I couldn't sample it all! I can't recall our server's name but a big shout out to you sir because you were amazing and sweet! Overall, amazing experience! read more

Sukiya is the gastronomic embodiment of the transpacific passage, sporting a wide variety of buffet options from sushi to dim sum to tiramisu. Dinner prices come just shy of $33 but for an additional $7 you can choose their premium selections and opt for their seemingly endless array of rolls in addition to the regular buffet spread. We shared the A5 Wagyu nigiri which was good but I can't say there was much discerning this and a fatty cut of some USDA prime steak. Novelty aside from the coveted A5 name, this dish was still good. What was simply sublime were the unlimited snow crab legs. Something visceral took over as I bolted to and from the crab leg station, cracking a myriad of snow crabs with just these hands. For the price and AYCE gimmick I expected little but received moist, flavorful legs in one lunch sitting. I will say that the sashimi options were few, and I wasn't about to risk the terror of bad raw scallops but this aside, it's a decent buffet. The staff are also friendly but served us the bill quite early in. All is forgiven, though, with the snow crab saving grace. read more

Good food, lots of options, the staff were so nice and attentive, and lots of seating. Highly recommend!! (-:

Ambience.. modern, hippie, Asian motif.. music was a little loud, a little cool in booth we were sitting in. Staff were nice. Server nice but didn't frequent as much as we think they should've. Tables cleaned off quickly, food presentation was neat. Negative for: 1. hard white rice. 2. beef cubes and chicken beside it were barely warm and got cold way too fast when we seated. 3. Server didn't check on us except when plate is picked up .. had to call them over. Otherwise - decent. Now to finish off meal with this other green tea .. So I would say almost a 4 ... 3.75 read more

I have a difficult time trusting seafood buffets, especially when the seafood is served raw and when the price point is $26/per person. However, my expectations were blown out of the water because of the fresh array of nigiri and sashimi. Honestly, the texture and flavor of the nigiri was so good and buttery, just a few bites made the meal feel worth it! (My goal at every AYCE is to eat my money's worth, and this place makes it extremely easy.) I didn't try any of the signature rolls because I'm more of a nigiri fan and it did not disappoint! Salmon, tuna, escolar, scallops, and (my favorite!) yellowtail were all available and all delicious. The chefs were working directly behind the bar so you could see them rotate out the old food and restock the buffet with fresh rolls and sashimi. By the time I ate my fill of nigiri, however, I didn't even have the chance to try their Chinese food! (Although, their honey walnut shrimp was very good.) Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would love to go again the next time I'm in Salt Lake! read more

I had a fantastic experience dining at Sukiya! Highly recommend it to everyone! I was impressed by the variety of food they had. Their sashimi includes salmon, tuna, yellowtail, scallop, surf clam, and many more. Other than sushi, they served really good Chinese food, including Sichuan food. I loved this kind of ayce because I wouldn't just be eating cold food the entire time. Another thing I appreciate about Sukiya is that boba, fruits, and desserts are included. Most ayce restaurants would at most provide soda, which I don't drink. Sukiya has mango and melon boba options. For the fruits, they had strawberries, watermelon, cherries, grapes, etc. Moreover, I was so surprised to find that they had LYCHEE!!!! I haven't eaten those in years! I was delighted and enjoyed the lychee very much. As for the desserts, my favorite was the creme brulee and the coconut jello. Originally, they were doing a grand opening special giving out sashimi plates. The owner, who is from Japan, said they switched out the uni because they found out the uni was not very fresh. That says a lot about the owner and the type of restaurant it is! They also had great customer service. I trust Sukiya and its quality, and I will definitely come back! read more

I was in need to carb load before a long run the next day. Sushi is one of the food that I love to carb load on...plenty of rice and the fish never leave me feeling heavy the next day. I saw that this place just opened and the price is not so bad for all you can eat sushi. I went during lunch which cost $26.99. The only thing is that you can only order one roll per person at a time. I ended up ordering two rolls during the course of the meal. In between, I enjoyed the buffet. Plenty of small sashimi plates and nigiri. All the fish I tried tasted fresh. I also enjoyed the hot food. If you are into seafood, this is definitely the best buffet. read more

I recently tried Sukiya Buffet and honestly had a pretty good experience overall. The variety is one of the biggest highlights--they have a wide selection of dishes ranging from sushi and hot foods to desserts, so there's something for pretty much everyone. The sushi was fresh and consistently restocked, which is always a good sign at a buffet. The hot food section was decent, with some standout items like the teriyaki chicken and fried rice, though a few dishes could've been a bit hotter. Service was solid--staff were quick to clear plates and refill drinks without being intrusive. The atmosphere is casual and a bit busy during peak hours, so expect some noise, but it's still comfortable enough to enjoy your meal. Price-wise, it feels fair for the amount of food you get, especially if you come hungry. Overall, Sukiya Buffet is a good spot if you're looking for variety and value. Not the most high-end dining experience, but definitely worth it for a casual meal. read more

A restaurant for me is not only good food, but the experience the staff provides.I went a little after 3pm... the restaurant was practically empty. I caught a little bit of attitude from the hostess, whom asked me if I was by myself (obviously) but then proceeded to seat me... way in the back corner on an empty huge restaurant. I had to ask to be seated in a booth towards the front. After taking my order... my server came back to me and said that I was given the dinner prices, which I had no idea. (not a good start) I believe this restaurant is quite new, so it was well kept and clean ...the presentation of the buffet stations were beautiful. I tried a taste a little of everything. The sushi rolls, sashimi and other seafood dishes tasted good except for the oyster shooter, oyster and a half shell,,.. on the fishy side. They also have an assortment of hot dishes which were delicious and flavorful. Drinks are also included in the price. (Soda, hot tea, iced tea., boba tea) and for dessert... assortment of cakes (dried and flavorless) assortment of puddings (very tasty) my favorite was the taro&tapioca pudding (like moms) assortment of fruits and moose. Overall, my server (Luna) was super friendly but I was a bit disappointed in the service... towards the end of my meal, there was a pile of plates that had not been picked up.The tables next to me were being cleared.... Was it because I was a single? (less tip) Didn't think I needed to take a picture of the pile plates There's a great selection of sushi, sashimi, side dishes, seafood, drinks, hot dishes, salads and desserts.., a little for everyone's taste. Well worth the price. Maybe next time I'll have a better experience. (3 stars experience) UPDATE: Excellent service (5 stars experience) Today is Sunday around 4 PM, I came back for the second time my server... Julio gave a phenomenon experience! He's a very knowledgeable, professional, attentive and kind...(definitely captain material) As before the food here is excellent. You definitely get a little bit of choice for everyone. I got a chance to try their crab legs and half of a dungeon is crab. I also ordered a Specialty Roll this time. Lobster Volcano roll without the sauce. (with sauce would have been better) I think they meant crawfish and not lobster... Overall, I had a great experience, good food and lots of drinks included. I definitely will be a regular customer. read more

Definitely worth the price you pay for the buffet! There were a ton of options in the buffet and on the sushi menu to choose from. It's not going to be the best food you've ever had, but it's definitely good enough to add to the rotation of restaurants to go to. Our waiter was very kind and was always nearby in case we wanted to order more sushi. One thing I'll note is that the buffet does not mark anything as being vegetarian/vegan/gluten free and also doesn't put a description for the foods other than the name, so if you have dietary restrictions, it's difficult to navigate what you can and can't eat. read more

My friend and I decided to try this place for the first time tonight. We got the all you can seafood buffet special with a lobster tail, total price just under $40/per person. It also includes any sushi rolls on the menu. We were very happy with the quality of the food and the service. It was very clean, had a nice variety of food including salads, soups, desserts, appetizers, sushi and main courses. Definitely felt like it was worth the spend and I will be back again next year! read more

This place is no Takashi, or Mint, but for $30 a person, I will take it. Some things were well worth the value (like a walnut shrimp, and the LA roll) and others missed the mark (all the desserts). There were a ton of options that we didn't try, but some of our favorites were the nigiri offerings and the specialty rolls. We went on a Sunday, shortly after they opened and it was busy, but not chaotic. Overall, it was basically exactly what I expected and worth the price if you have a hearty appetite. read more

Sukiya Sushi & Japanese Buffet - Nigiri - Buffets Near Me - Midvale, Utah

All you can eat crabs and sushi for under $30 bucks!? Hell yeah! The hot food wasn't worth trying but you can order off the sushi menu as much as you want. On the buffet were nigiri rolls, crab legs, oysters, mussels and all sorts of seafood. The hot bar wasn't fresh but the ribs were good and fatty. All the rolls we ordered were delicious. You really need to have an appetite to make this worth it. Service was really good. Look for the cool gold tree outside of the restaurant. Not an easy entrance off of 7200 south. Windy path to the entrance but once you get in, enjoy! read more

My husband and I found this place and we were able to finally go dinner! Honestly for a buffet it was not bad at all. All the food area was super clean and oh my goodnessss~ the desserts and milk tea they had. Chefs kiss! You are able to order one of the premium menu for dinner! My husband got the lobster and I got the premium sashimi! Service was great! Addie was making sure we were doing good throughout dinner! About maybe 50$ a person total with the tip and stuff, but man, it was pretty delicious! You get a wide variety of different food and I thought it was a pretty good experience! Thank you! read more

The food is very good I'll be entirely honest I think most Chinese buffets are just dumps however I decided to give this place a shot I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food and service. The last time I went a Chinese buffet I got food poisoning. Best part you have crawfish I adore crawfish. I am very well pleased overall. read more

If you're looking for quality and quantity, Sukiya hits the mark. The sushi is super fresh, and the all-you-can-eat setup is well worth it.

Easily one of the best AYCE sushi spots in Salt Lake! read more

This was a very different experience for restaurants in Utah - service personnel are good - food offerings good both hot and raw sea foods with limited offerings of veggies but it's advertised as a seafood buffet! The raw fish and oysters was good just wish they had more sauces to choose from - Ie horseradish- vinegars hot sauces. Their hot foods are pretty good with shrimp fish baos and stir fries overall we'll be back . read more

Came on Valentine's Day and we did wait about an hour without reservation. But they were super busy. However, it was worth the wait. Our server provided us very excellent service. He was very polite and since it's our first, he patiently describe and told what comes with $39.99 premium and regular $32.99 adult price. Food was good and excellent. It was freshly made. I really love the buffet styles. Server even told us what was the famous rolls or what most people prefer. Overall, we enjoy eat read more
