SOMETHING FISHY: 5 Superb Sushi Spots in Salt Lake and Beyond

July 8, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

It amazes me how sushi has become such a food staple in America during the past couple decades. Not only does nearly every city and suburban block seem to have a dedicated sushi restaurant, but you can find sushi at most supermarkets now, and all-you-can-eat sushi has gone completely out of control.  Now, I’m not much of a fan of supermarket sushi and even less so of … [Read more...]

A SUSHI STORM—Park City’s Yuki Yama Sushi

June 11, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

One of my very favorite Park City restaurants isn’t one of the new kids on the block. In fact, my first rave review of it happened back in 2008, when the eatery in question was called Yuki Arashi. Since then, new owners have taken over and changed the name to Yuki Yama Sushi, but the food, service, and ambiance is every bit as stellar as it was some 13 years ago.  Yuki means … [Read more...]

SLC’s Best Restaurant? Takashi Continues to Hit the Highest Notes

April 27, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

When I first reviewed Takashi restaurant back upon its opening in May of 2004, I was very enthusiastic about Takashi Gibo’s namesake restaurant. In fact, I recall arguing that the food there was every bit as worthy of the accolades that Nobu in Las Vegas - which I’d also recently visited - tended to receive. I had first met Takashi when he was a sushi chef at Shogun restaurant … [Read more...]

New Sushi Kid on the Block: Hamachi Pecatarian Grill

March 16, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

“I was a bit of a knucklehead,” says Billy. He’s co-owner and sushi chef at Hamachi Pescatarian Grill & Sushi Bar, and he’s explaining how he came to live in Utah. In short, he was incorrigible, acting out, and his mother shipped him off from Chicago to the Beehive with the thought that he’d clean up his act here. He did. Mongolia to ‘Merica Billy is originally from … [Read more...]

Sushi Burrito-Crossover Cuisine at its Finest

December 29, 2014 by Amanda Rock Leave a Comment

The original huge sushi burrito roll was born in California, and now there is Sushi Burrito in the Salt Lake City space left vacant by Guzzi’s Vintage Burgers and Fries on 180 East and 800 South. While the two restaurants couldn’t be more different, they share the same fan base - downtown folks looking for good food. When I first noticed the sign for Sushi Burrito, my … [Read more...]
