Once we got home, we noticed that we had been charged more than the prices listed on the website. We contacted the owner to ask about the price difference. We were told that the difference was due to tax and that there is also a 4% charge for paying by card. Our concern is that the prices displayed on the website do not match what we were actually charged in the store, and the additional 4% card charge was not clearly communicated to us before we completed the purchase. 0/10 would not go back and the food was bad.

Our menu features a fusion of Hawaiian and Filipino cuisine, We found this place 2 years ago, we had a good food experience. We drove through Utah again and of course we had to go back. This place is very popular with the locals especially with the military personnel. The food was good however we found the macaroni salad abit too sweet for us. Jean who runs the restaurant came by to check how the food was. I did tell her I found the macaroni salad a tad sweet, I wish I got the pancit instead. Jean offered to bring me some pancit instead. It was very kind of her... the pancit was good. Absolutely no complaints. There was many people on a weekday for lunch. If I am ever in Utah again. I will definitely hit the place up again.

After sleeping with a bucket on one side of my head and a garbage can on the other, this place deserves every last bad review that they will ever receive! Waited nearly two hours for a takeout order. I had absolutely zero issues with that, provided all of my detailed instructions were followed. I explicitly requested if they were going to charge me additional fees after my initial order total then to cancel the ENTIRE order! Not only was I charged additional fees to my credit card after the fact, my instructions weren't even followed! The most expensive item (especially since I was charged almost $5 extra for requesting lettuce) was the Dynamite Poke Bowl with rotten fish, rotten produce, saturated in sauce (that I explicitly requested ON THE SIDE), and most disgusting of all, warm creamy rice that was supposedly in their "homemade cream sauce". Absolutely nowhere in the description of the Dynamite Poke Bowl did it state it was going to have rice or give you an alternative option. Whatever is in that disgusting sauce should be retired and banned from the FDA! The supposed "fish" was all shredded barely there and nevermind I didn't receive the furikake with red onions that I was also charged additional for. The Kimchi was completely sour and opening the lid on the little cup you could smell the foulness. Yes, I did try a bite of everything that I ordered to leave an appropriate review. The Kurama Ebi (prawn) shows up with it's head and shell on which wasn't a big issue because I order seafood boils all the time. However, this poor prawn was all shell, no meat, and was discolored and mushy upon peeling. The Gyutan (beef tongue) was charred aplenty, but still impossible to eat because it was way too chewy and no amount of lemons were going to help it. I really was having a great day and that's why I thought I would be 3 for 3 and try this newer popular sushi restaurant and trust me, the pricey menu items certainly don't achieve the fresh experience that all of us Sushi lovers expect. Will never return and will forever be telling everyone about this horrible waste of time and money experience. And to think I actually left them a tip on top of the overcharges. Ha!

I arrived and waited at the counter for about 30 minutes (total wait ended up being around 45 minutes before I received my food). During that time, I noticed the staff served 20+ walk-in customers before fulfilling my pre-paid pickup order. Many of those customers ordered similar items (including teriyaki plates), so I'm not sure why mine was delayed so significantly. There was no communication from staff about the wait or any issues, which made the experience frustrating--especially since I could have joined the regular line and gotten my food much sooner. I understand busy periods happen, but the lack of updates and prioritization of walk-ins over a confirmed pre-order felt unfair. If I hadn't already paid, I likely would have left.

Some new favorites were the Beef Teriyaki Bento dinner box, Snowbird Roll, Unagi Roll, California Roll with Tobiko, and the Boston Roll. Of course, I still stuck with some of my old favorites like their Cheese Rangoons and Spicy Crab Roll (perhaps that's why I'm still a bit of a "crab"? ;+) The beef in the Teriyaki Bento was rather surprising for a Japanese/sushi restaurant. Definitely tasted grilled/barbequed like. Not fried in a pan or cooked in the oven like all the other establishments. It had a very smoky flavor (heavenly), which definitely wasn't from the sauce (as that was teriyaki). 10/10 cooked perfectly without overdoing the included teriyaki sauce on top. Good portion size for a Bento Box that also came with steamed white rice, two orange slices, two gyoza, and a fresh salad with ginger dressing (also not overdone/oversaturated). If you are actually eating in the restaurant you also receive Miso soup with the Bento Box. The sushi rolls were all equally delicious, fresh, and good portion sizes with fresh fish both rolled and hand rolled (depending on your preference; they certainly don't disappoint). Very pleased I was in the area to give Golden Bistro another go, as now I'm craving it once again every day it seems.
