Sushi!

Never had "amazing" sushi in the state of Utah, and only once or twice in the USA.

Once you have had the real ****, most of the places here don't even hold a candle.
 
Eating good food in America is simple, find the dumpiest looking place and go there. It never fails. I think in Provo for Japanese food that would mean Osaka - which is pretty good - but I'm not sure if it's even there still. I don't recall any places in that area that serve Japanese that are bad though, none absolutely amazing either, so you should be okay wherever you decide.
 
But there is one in south salt lake that is the best I found in SLC, and it is all you can eat.

Sushi Yah. < click for details

I've eaten here before. It was pretty good except for one of the rolls. I swear all they did was take a spicy tuna roll and slather it with mayonnaise. The most disgusting thing I have ever tasted.

I also like The Red Ginger on state and 33rd.
 
I'm with Vinyl. All you can eat? If you know you want to feast, just get some 24 piece combination platter or something with a little bit of everything.

Unagi rules.

BZZZZZ... Wrong! Toro is the only way to go. If they don't have Toro you go with Maguro.
 
Uni is where it's at. King of nigiri.

Oof.

I could never get down with that stuff...just doesnt agree with my palate.
 
I kinda liked it right up front, don't know why. I have a harder time with salmon roe.
 
Don't you guys watch Jazz games? They have a commercial on practically every broadcast.


Also, while we're shouting out to local Sushi places, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Ichiban yet.

Ichiban isn't my favorite. Sushi Yah is tops, but other than that I like Happy Sumo, Tsunami is pretty good, Takashi always has fresh fish and interesting additions (like black sea bass and other exotic fish) but they are soooo over-priced. Flying Sumo in Park City is pretty good too.

I agree with Viny...the closer to the coast you get the better the sushi. San Fran has some great sushi spots. So does South Beach. Only issue then is price.

I will still put some of the all you can eat places here in Reno up against anything in SLC and even many in Cali or Florida. They just do it right here.
 
Best sushi Ive ever had was in SF. The closer to the ocean the better it is.

Log, I had no idea you lived in Reno. I love Reno.

Reminds me of an article I once read...

https://www.esquire.com/features/esquire-100/reno1007

Great article viny and the guy nailed it with this paragraph:

I want to say this clearly: You cannot deconstruct Reno. It's ruddy and rock hard, self-evident and openhearted. Reno is of a whole. It is a city, not an event. It is clean, safe, small, open, easy to get around in, cheap, seedy in the right ways, elegant in its own small measures. The airport? Intensely easy. Crowds? None that you can't handle. Hotels? None over a hundred dollars. There are mountains -- real ones -- lush, snowcapped, visually magnetic, utterly proximate. In Vegas, the mountains are dead hills in the distance. You know where you are when you're in Reno. You are in the new Vegas.

Great town to live in. Seriously is a big little city. Everything a big city has to offer and a small-town feel. Low crime rates, great activities in the city and within 50 miles. Can't say enough about Tahoe, and we are 30 minutes from there. I worked for amazon.com here a while back for about 5 years and they held their summer company picnics at Tahoe...rented a private beach.

Yeah we pretty much love it here.

If you are every coming through let me know, we can get some sushi.
