    The papa roll and seasons roll both made gluten free
    Ashlie M.

    We love going to The Sushi. We always get right in and everything tastes delicious. We have a couple of people in the family that eat gluten free and they are great about accommodating to us. We love the seasons roll, jalapeño poppers and tempura shrimp and veggies. All gluten free.

    Good yellowtail and amaebi. The service was prompt and attentive as well. I was not a big fan of the tuna they used but other than that it was good. The Yakisoba had plentiful veggies and actually had Yakisoba flavor. Definitely worth grabbing some sushi and traditional Japanese fair if you're in the Sandy vicinity.

    Rolls

    Found this on Yelp and remember a while back there used to be a Hagermanns Bakery & Deli and a Sweet Nothings Bakery which both had AYCE all you could eat French toast. Never had their French toast but do remember some sandwiches and bakery items were decent. Back to this review: The Good: Soft shell crab Pot stickers Majority of the rolls The Bad: House salad Service What irked my buddy and I the most was that people that were seated after and had ordered after us received their meals first. One lady running the show, busing tables, taking orders, running food, and being a cashier. It was painful trying to flag her down to get some attention. Maybe the service is better in the evening? Nothing worse than taking a 90 minutes lunch on a busy workday. Might return.

    POSITIVES: Don't let the name fool you, this place is chock full of options besides sushi. Whether it's curry, rice, noodles, teriyaki chicken, a bento box, or a variety of ramen, this place offers lots of satisfying options. The appetizers are equally tempting : edamame, calamari, gyoza, takoyaki, etc. As far as sushi goes, this place nails it with a blend of great flavor and awesome presentation. I ordered the colorful "Playboy roll" (fried shrimp, salmon, tobiko--tiny fish eggs, and jalapeño) and the "Phoenix roll" (tempura shrimp, eel, avocado, salmon, jalapeño, green onion, sesame seeds, teriyaki sauce, and spicy mayo.). This roll was unlike anything if ever been presented with at a sushi restaurant...trust me, it is very exciting and worth every penny. The Japanese decor and theme is very friendly and inviting. The waitress was extremely polite and knowledgeable. Also, the mochi ice cream is fabulous, and you can't go wrong with it. NEGATIVES: the menu was covered in grease from someone fingers... Not sure if the material just attracts grease really easily or something... Also, there was a BOGO 50% off for all sushi rolls... I only ordered 2 rolls myself (one was $15ish, the other would have been about $7 with the offer), and I somehow still walked out paying $30, aside from tip. Still not terrible, but not what I had expected. PRICE: expect to pay $15-30 per person depending on how much food you get. VERDICT: it was a fun experience, and I'm definitely curious about some of the other sushi rolls (and curry!) It's love to come back, but given the price, I may have to wait until my work takes us out so it's on their dime.

    Brought the family and ordered various sushi rolls and a bowl of ramen. Great spot to stop by. Always passed by since it's next to Harmon's. Finally convinced the kids to have sushi instead is pizza and I'm glad we did. Quality of the fish was good when I ordered the large Sashimi platter. There was octopus I included so I'm not a big fan of that but I'll still keep this place rated 5 star for everything else. Hot sake was Purple Haze which I loved.

    We found this place on google cause we were wanting to take our out-of-town east-coast best friends somewhere cool. WOW. Some sushi places make it mushy and flavorless. This is one of the best rolls I've had in Utah.

    We absolutely love this little sushi nook in Draper. This is always the first place we go when I'm…read morecraving sushi. I always get the Sushi Bomb, and it is so good. It's basically a fried shrimp sushi roll without the seaweed, and it's something I genuinely crave a couple times a week. My other go-to is the Hot Girl Summer roll. It has just the right amount of spice for this Louisiana girl. I always order it with extra eel sauce because honestly, I could drink that stuff. My friends ordered the Cowboy roll and the Elephant roll, and they said both were amazing and perfectly crispy. My partner always tries a new roll, but he only eats cooked or fried sushi. This is the one place he always chooses because the rolls are fried to perfection without being greasy or heavy. The service is good, and the atmosphere is always so cozy. We love this hidden gem and truly hope they get all the business they deserve.

The waitress tried to refuse to seat us. We told her we called in and she spent the rest of our service pitching an absolute fit. Would not respond beyond grunting at us, all but flung our food at us, wouldn't smile or engage us at all. Spent some time actually throwing things as she cleaned a table near us. It was spectacular and awful. The rest of our experience belies the temper tantrum this girl was throwing, though. All of the food was made both quickly and accurately. It was all very good. The restaurant is super clean and everyone else that worked there was very nice. I would go back, just hope for a different waitress.

    Server was friendly and helpful. Did a great job keeping up with the table…read more I wouldn't come back based on the food. They have fallen into the trap of "let's offer a variety of things to appeal to everyone" which naturally turns into, not doing anything well because the kitchen staff is trying to do too many things. They have everything from nachos, Enchiladas, fish & chips, steaks, pasta, flatbread, fish, salads and a mish-mash of appetizers. I ordered the "blackened salmon". It was. It blackened but lightly seasoned and pan fried and literally downing in butter. The mashed potato it came with were not creamed potatoes but had so much butter, that much can't be eaten as all the butter in the dish is so overwhelming. Other At my table got prime rib and pastas. They don't really say much about them after they got them, which isn't a great sign. The ambiance was probably nice at one point, but the place really needs a remodel. My advice is to narrow down the menu so the kitchen can focus on doing a fixed number of items really well. Then maybe have a rotating weekly or monthly special if you want to keep the menu fresh. Too many things means nothing is done well. If they update the menu in this way I would try them again, otherwise I have no reason to return based on this experience.

    We have been told this place is pretty good and we decided to check them out…read more I'll give our first visit experience as well as our second. First, entering we were greeted by the servers who were smiley and friendly. The restaurant is decent sized and pretty clean. We were a little confused why it took almost 40 minutes to get our food. We were only one of three groups that were eating there. I am gluten free so I'm use to not having a ton of options and usually have to stay away from most of the sauces used but, I was able to order a few roles that are gluten free both naturally and/or after asking to not add a sauce. I was pleased to know they treat gluten free orders very cautiously and carefully. The roles are a good size, the fish tasted fresh and the flavors were great. Aside from the extremely long wait, the food was decent so we wanted to give them a second chance. Our second visit was much better. Greeted kindly again once we entered and sat right away. Our server was attentive and speedy. Our food came at a much better timing and the quality was consistent with our first visit. The prices are average, the quality of the food is good, servers are friendly and it's worth giving a shot

    This is by far our favorite sushi place around. Our kids love eating here. We got there Saturday…read morenight and it was pretty busy but we were seated right away. We ordered the orange chicken which came with rice and steamed broccoli and carrots. It was a big portion of chicken. We also got some sushi: golden salmon roll, kill bill roll, flame dragon roll, and Sumo roll. All these varied in taste and had different highlighted attributes. The flame dragon roll comes on fire and gives the salmon a really defined smoked flavor. I really liked that the golden salmon roll had a citrus tone. The kill bill roll had good crunch with the coconut tempera shrimp and some spicy with the jalapeño and cilantro. I really like all of the deep fried rolls but this one was especially good because of the tiger shrimp.
