    Chicken Karaage
    Amanda Q.

    The reviews of this place were so good I was surprised to find it was only meh for me. I had the UT Black and my friend had the UT red and we both thought they were just okay. The chicken Karaage on the other hand was great. We went on a Friday night and it was incredibly busy. Service was slow but I believe they were short staffed so I won't hold that against them.

    Best ramen in Utah. No "if", "ands", or "buts" about it. Love the lil market when you walk in of the Asian snacks, drinks, and more. Service was great as staff was friendly and servers were helping each other. The tables are beautiful cut wood and with the tvs playing anime along with the cherry blossoms; this is a great place!

    UT Black Ramen
    Rhynn S.

    UT Black Ramen, super delicious. Also fast services. Super friendly staff, and great atmosphere.

    UT red spicy ramen
    Angel C.

    I think they are one of the better ramen places in Utah. Broth wasn't too salty which is a problem I have with a lot of ramen places here in Utah. I got the UT red spicy ramen and it did not disappoint. It wasn't too pricey. The service was also pretty good. The servers also were really attentive.

    Gyoza worthy the hype!

    This place was full. Good sign. Grab your dessert from the cold case before you sit down. You can also grab a drink there. I didn't expect to find a low-carb option (I'm keto) at a ramen shop, but saw the konjack noodles (aka Shirataki noodles) and opted for that. Konjack noodles have a springy, chewy texture, and they absorb whatever flavor they are in. For a low carb or gluten free option, it was delicious. Great broth and accoutrements. I noted that they had a couple of fun options on upcoming days for a tuna night or a seafood night with reservations on both. The gyoza is famous, and for good reason. It comes out perfectly crispy on the bottom and steamed on top. Clean establishment and attentive service. UT Craft Ramen is in the old Wasatch Broiler location.

    Miso ramen

    It's been a while but we found our way back to UT Craft Ramen for an afternoon snack! The service here is awesome- got seated quickly w/menus and water! They took our order after a few minutes and quickly served our food ! Tonkatsu curry w/ rice was the perfect snack! Loved the curry and the pork cutlet was cooked to perfection! Miso Ramen was so good - loved the noodles! Broth had a ton of flavor! We actually prefer the shoyu Ramen which they don't have on their menu ! It would be an awesome addition. Overall a great ramen stop ! Great service lots of parking !

    Seriously the best ramen in Utah! Made me feel like I was back in Fussa. Also Japanese specialty beers. This is a must have and a must keep in Utah. Beware food is super addictive!

    Plate scrubbber
    Richard M.

    Stopped in for the 2nd time yesterday. We had the karagae chicken and the ut black ramen. The chicken was good, but we found a bit of kitchen scrubber in the ramen, which definitely put us off the ramen. We notified our server who took the plate and ran back to the kitchen, and offered us some free ramen. We declined, and just asked that the contaminated ramen be removed from our check. After a few moments the mgr came out, apologized and removed the ramen from our bill. He said that "it happens sometimes and they will be more careful in the future.

    This is such a cute spot. Front entrance is like a little store that you can get some snacks or drinks or even anime things. Inside is really pretty. Little small so I can see it getting packed at busy hours. Service was quick. We were in and out. We got the potstickers and I thought they were okay. I imagined them to be a bit crisper considering how they came out, they were not. Wanted to love them but they weren't anything special in my opinion. I did however love the ramen. My favorite thing besides the broth was the noodles. These noodles tasted delicious compared to other ramen noodles I've had. I think the noodles made the dish for me. I was also used to like thicker meat in my ramen. Here they have thinly sliced pork loin which I was surprised how tender the meat was actually pretty good, It was Both broths tasted similar one was just spicy. Overall a great ramen place.

    food quality: 5/5 service: 5/5 cleanliness: 5/5 value: 5/5 Don't skip on: Black Garlic Ramen Tried UT craft Ramen and had a great experience! We came as a party of 4 on a weekday and there was no wait. Our order was taken pretty quickly and served quickly. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious! We got the black garlic ramen, the spicy ramen and an order of gyoza. So good! The staff were super friendly and the owners came by to check on us to see if we needed anything, which was really nice and showers they cared about their customers. Highly recommended for anyone that needs their ramen fix. I am hoping to catch them one of their special ticket events in the future!

    Handmade pork Gyoza
    Summer S.

    The service was amazing!! Even when it was very busy all the staff would go out of their way and greet and welcome you with a hospitality chant as you walk to your table. The atmosphere was cozy ,..almost like I was at a friend's house with anime playing in the back ground on the tv. The Ramen was PHENOMENAL!!! The broth for the UT Red was just every bit of spicy this Louisiana girl needed! The servings were definitely enough to make two meals. We were too full to fit in one of their unique deserts , but we were able to snag some goodies they had to offer! We will definitely be coming back!

    Creamy chicken ramen with a side of curry
    Shannon M.

    Value for money: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Food Quality: 5 Customer Service: 5 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 5 Thank you, Come Again?: 5 Winter chills always send me searching for a warm bowl of comfort, and UT Craft Ramen immediately came to mind. I've been here before, but this visit felt different in the best way. The restaurant has made so many fun upgrades and now feels like stepping into a mini Japanese market. Unique snacks, drinks, and figurine toys line the front and walls, and the anime touches throughout the space make it a total feast for the eyes before the food even arrives. I was craving curry ramen this time, and while they didn't have a curry ramen option on the menu, they did offer curry rice plates. I ended up ordering the creamy chicken ramen and adding a side of curry sauce, and it worked out perfectly. As an appetizer, my husband and I shared the 8 piece gyoza, which was pan fried to perfection with crispy edges and juicy filling. The staff here is incredibly welcoming, and you can really feel the passion they have for what they do. They checked in on us multiple times and even chatted about upcoming special events like their Spring Roll Trip special and a guest ramen chef flying in from Japan. It's exciting to see a local spot put so much heart into their craft. Overall, UT Craft Ramen continues to impress. The atmosphere is fun, the food is delicious, and the team clearly cares about creating a great experience. I can't wait for my next visit.

    In the words of Brigham Young, "This is the right place!" In a word: Authentic. In a second word: Authentic. First, the service is Japanese worthy friendly and polite. Second, the restaurant has a very cool vibe. Now let's get to the food. First the water. Comes in a wired swing top bottle. (See photo) The water is filtered. All the water is filtered because they want their broths to taste just right. The cups are really cool. They have a rounded lip so that it feels comfortable drinking out of them. The gyōza were excellent. (See photo) They import everything. Everything. All their ingredients are from Japan and they make everything from scratch and fresh. Their gyōza wrappers are from Japan because they have the right thinness to them. They make their gyōza fresh everyday. They are not greasy and are cooked correctly (not deep fried). The sauce is the simple shōyu (soy sauce) and sushi vinegar. Tastes so fresh. I had the tonkotsu ramen. (See photo) Absolutely lovely presentation. They make their own char siu pork. They use quality shoulder cuts and trim off excess fat. The fat content is perfect. They have some sort of a special pressure machine from Japan to make authentic ramen noodles. The aijitama (egg) was cooked perfectly. The broth had a good flavor that balanced everything else. They have one of my favorite drinks, the Ramune Creamy Melon. You really need to try it. Wonderful selection of drinks in a lit cabinet as you enter. Also imported Japanese candies and treats as well as anime figurines, also imported from Japan. (See photos) They also have Japanese vending game machines. (See photo) They carry a variety of onigiri as well as Japanese sponge cakes, cheesecakes, shu cremes, and Japanese ice creams. Love the decor, so Nihonteki (just like Japan). There are interesting hanging lamps, one of which is a koi fish. (See photo) The manager loves his job and is very friendly. He is mentored by the owner. UT Craft Ramen hasn't been open very long at the time of this writing. However, the owner has another one in Overland Park, KS and it's name is "KC Craft Ramen." It has 4.6 stars on Yelp and is well-known. When you enter the restaurant, you will be greeted with the traditional "Irrashaimase!" (Welcome!) There were actual Japanese workers there, another plus. You need to check this place out for some of the best authentic ramen in the valley. I will be returning. Conveniently right next to the Cinemark Century Sandy Union Heights. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    Oishi Ramen is one of my favorite ramen spots. I always get the Spicy Tonkotsu, and it never…read moredisappoints. The broth has great flavor, and I really like their hand pulled noodles. The food also comes out pretty quickly, which is always a plus. There were a couple of frustrations with this visit, though. They had flyers on the tables advertising their new Dino Ramen, and the flyer stated that you could get free ice cream with any Dino Ramen OR any other bowl of ramen. When we went to get the free ice cream, we were told the offer was only valid with the Dino Ramen and that the "any bowl of ramen" offer was only available at their other location. That was pretty confusing considering the flyer was sitting right on our table at this location. If the promotion is different depending on the location, they really need to make that clear on the flyer or not have those flyers out. Service was okay. The food came out quickly, but there wasn't much checking in afterward. We had to go out of our way to ask for things like refills or anything else we needed. Despite those issues, I really enjoy the ramen here, especially the Spicy Tonkotsu and hand pulled noodles, so I'll keep coming back. I just hope they improve the communication around their promotions and become a little more attentive with service.

    I do not recommend getting the pork cutlets at all. I knew as soon as I tasted the sauce it…read morewouldn't be good. For the price I regret getting it the entire time I was thinking I could make this way better at home. The spicy tonkotsu ramen was pretty good the pork was tender but VERYYY FATTY. The shoyu ramen was around the same with the pork but the soup wasn't that good. The service was good had no issue. The place seemed pretty clean and had decent decor.

The service was great and we only waited about 10 minutes for a party of two during a Saturday dinner rush. The gyoza appetizer was delicious. I asked the waitress if it was made fresh in house and she said yes. I could tell right away when they came out that they were, in fact, homemade gyoza. They had the perfect amount of pork filling and the outside was soft and doughy. The dipping sauce added a much desired flavor for the filling. I loved that they added cabbage, carrot, and green onion on the top. The Miyazaki roll was truly delicious. It had the perfect amount of spice, topped with generous wagyu, and filled with the perfect crispy shrimp. The jalapeño aioli was so creamy and delicious. The sable silk roll was also a flavor combination I've never experienced before. Had the perfect amount of heat and sweetness. I loved the chili oil on top as well as the fish. It was melt in your mouth. The unagi was seared to perfection and was also so soft. The snow crab inside was delicious as well. All the flavors worked together and their sushi was truly some of the most flavorful I've ever had in Utah. Miyazaki truly has incredible quality fish that they use for their sushi. The Wagyu medallions were out of this world. Cooked to perfection and seasoned exactly how you would like. There was so much flavor in this dish. I truly cannot wait to come back soon. I highly recommend Miyazaki.
