    Christmas roll
    Dave B.

    Perfect place for cheap and yummy Sushi. I agree not Bistro. Yi Sushi Dive is great. Make sure to ask for the birthday song if it is your birthday. The desserts are not good, but you came here for the awesome sweet potato rolls right? Great staff as well.

    Have been coming to this restaurant for almost 10 years and they have the cheapest sushi in all of Salt Lake. Every day their sushi is half off! The food is pretty good as well. I really enjoy all of their rolls, but the crunch roll and the Vegas are my absolute favorites.

    Hi sushi has been our favorite sushi place in the area for years!!!! They alway keep a high standard of their food and service quality. We were seated soon after we arrived. Our server was friendly and patient. The best part, of course, is their sushi!!! We loved all of our orders!

    Yi Sushi Bistro isn't offering any in restaurant dining, so we ordered our food online and it was a very easy process. On their website we ordered fifteen rolls for my family. They say they do a "50% off" discount for their rolls. I don't understand why they don't just list the actual price, because that's what they charge all day/everyday. Anyways, there were two favorite kinds of rolls that stood out above the rest. The Angel Roll and the Executive Roll were enjoyed the very most, and disappeared before anything else. In all we had ordered Vegas Rolls, Angel Rolls, Crunch Rolls, Executive Rolls, Ichi/Jenny Rolls, Play Boy Rolls, Christmas Rolls and Philadelphia Rolls. In the rolls, I did notice the breading on the shrimp was not what I'd call tempura. It seemed like a panko breading or something? It was okay, but not tempura like we were expecting. We will be back. Thank you!

    For dates you go to Sapa or Tsunami. For getting together with your friends to eat loads of sushi you go to Yi Sushi. Everything is 50% off the menu. Ambiance is great for get togethers. We went on Thurs 12/26 around 5:30pm and we didn't have to wait for a table. We were 6 adults and 6 kids. I can't remember all the rolls we had. The Tiger Roll was the most delicious

    We love to pop into this place once in a while for sushi because of the "all time 50% off" deal. They have raised their prices a bit this year, but I'm still very happy with the quality, taste and the amount of food I get here for the price. So far never had an item that was bad. This time we ordered #19-Christmas, #29-True Love, #6-Pink Lady, #S3-Mayflower, Shrimp & Scallops with garlic sauce (house special), and Chinese chicken kebab...yum! Staff are friendly and nice. Will definitely go back :)

    Angel roll

    Upon entering, my expectations were a little low, but the quick service and wide variety of well priced sushi quickly changed that. We ordered three different rolls and some appetizers. We were satisfied with the meal, and would consider it again!

    I love ordering take-out sushi from this place. Although they are not actually Japanese, but Chinese, it is as close as you can get in Utah. Being as cheap of a person as I am, and sushi being usually pretty pricey, this place wins my heart through their low and affordable prices. I seldom give 5 stars, but I really think this place deserves it. I have been a loyal customer since they opened, and it still remains one of the cheapest, yet safest (no food poisoning) sushi places around!

I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt. That ends now. Today, we came as a group of five to celebrate my friend. What should have been a memorable evening became one of the most infuriating dining experiences I've had in years. After we sat down, our waitress was nowhere to be seen for 10-15 minutes. Even when we saw her, we flagged her down 3-4 times and were still ignored. I had to physically get up and chase someone down, and still waited another 5 minutes for someone to take our order. There were only 3 tables in the restaurant. The waitress never once asked me or my friend's mom for our drink order- completely skipped over us. And when drinks did come out, she brought the wrong one to my friend's mom. When we asked for water refills. She filled two glasses out of five and walked off, when my glass was near empty. She then dropped a plate on our table. Moments later, I reached for the food and she snatched it back saying it was for another table. Rude doesn't begin to cover it. We asked for an extra spoon, a completely normal request, and it was met with a dirty look, as if we had asked for something outrageous. When I asked for extra ginger, she placed it at the farthest corner of the table. Whether intentional or not, it felt extremely careless and rude. We ordered uni nigiri, which is not a cheap order. It arrived without seaweed. I've ordered uni nigiri many times here, and it's always come with seaweed. When I flagged it, they didn't remake it, just shoved the seaweed under the rice. An insult to a $20+ piece of nigiri. Throughout all of this, this waitress had a visible attitude toward every reasonable request. What made it worse is that I'm Asian myself, and it was clear she was specifically singling out me and my friend's mom above everyone else at the table. The dismissiveness, the hostility, the microaggressions felt pointed and deliberate. I can only call it what it is: racism and sexism. No one should have to feel targeted at a restaurant they've loyally supported for years. Ika has lost a longtime champion. I will be actively discouraging everyone I know from setting foot in this place. Save your money, your time, and your celebration, and go literally anywhere else.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ***Update*** I'd like to clarify a few things since the facts were misrepresented by your response. Funny you bring up my arrival time as if that somehow discredits me. I let my group know I would be a few minutes late, and it was not even close to being an hour. What matters is that after I sat down, our entire group waited 10-15 minutes waving down staff and being repeatedly ignored. I then got up and spoke to a different staff member who was filling ginger by the bar, not even our assigned waitress, and she had to find someone else to help us. That is not "flagging rudely", that is a group of paying customers desperately trying to get basic service. Again, there were only three tables including us. You're welcome to review your security footage to verify this. You claim you were watching closely, but if you were running a restaurant, I find it hard to believe you had the bandwidth to monitor our table that carefully. And if you really were watching, you'd know that we tried to flag down a waiter for over 10 minutes. You also never addressed how long the waitress took to take our orders, never asking me for my drink order, bringing my friend's mom the wrong drink, making a disgusted face when we asked for an extra spoon, dropping the wrong dish on our table and rudely snatching it away, and placing the ginger at the farthest end of the table. Funny how none of that made it into your response. Most importantly, you said nothing about your waitress's sexist behavior toward me and my friend's mother. We were singled out, dismissed, and treated with hostility that the rest of our table did not experience. That was the most egregious part of our visit and you chose to completely ignore it. The uni argument is not worth debating. Seaweed in nigiri is a global standard. Doubling down on that is just embarrassing. I even called that evening to provide this feedback directly, and was told the manager was not available and would call me back the next day. That never happened. Instead of having a conversation and being willing to listen, you chose to come onto Yelp and make this a personal attack against me. Our group was only there because of my recommendation. I was your advocate. That ends now, and so does any business I would have ever sent your way. Your response has only confirmed what kind of establishment this is. So as you said best, goodbye!

A gentleman finally got up to go strike a match under someone's year end. The young female server comes over half grumpily with a slight wannabe smile, and takes our drink order. She brings most of the drinks fairly quickly. But doesn't even attempt to ask if we're ready to order and we've been there 25ish minutes waiting?! The grill across from us got sat after us and by the time she came back to see if we were ready to order, they were done with the show and eating. *InsertEyeRoll*. She took our orders, repeating them and went on her way and shortly returned with our soup and salad. A few more minutes go by just barely before our cook shows up. He gets asking about everyone's orders and meat preference. Awesome. He starts his show, as always... scrambled eggs and rice first right?! Unfortunately, out of 8 of us 7 ordered fried rice, one steamed. Server brought out steamed rice to the one, and cook dishes out 5 bowls of fried rice. Two of us question where our rice was. So they have to prep and cook in the kitchen. Like WTAF?! But whatever... Cook was good, but not overly funny. He didn't even use the funny oil peeing boy (IYKYK) which my 9yo old always gets excited about. Food was cooked just right IMO but server never came back to refill drinks or see if we needed anything. They don't have yum yum sauce it's something much runnier which was disappointing. After the cook was done, they were practically rushing us out, by picking up plates, offering boxes, and setting new clean dishwater near the grill. I'm glad that they are efficient, but where's my server? Where's my water & wine refill? For a Friday evening and NOT very busy, I was really bummed for how horrible our experience and service was. This is one of the best teppanyaki restaurants around. This server didn't do her job and our last 5 star experience turned to a 3 star and was underwhelming sadly.

Came in for dinner with a party of four and had a great experience overall. We ordered the crispy fried calamari, pork gyozas, and five rolls: the Tsunami, the Spicy Masa, the Vegas, the Jenny, and the Cobacabana. My favorite by a good margin was the Spicy Masa. The habanero sauce is spicy-delicious, with real heat but enough flavor that you keep going back for another bite. The Vegas and Tsunami rolls are crowd-pleasers, and the pork gyozas are a solid starter to share. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal, no complaints there.
