I had to try Shoga Sushi Bar when I was passing through a few months ago, and let me tell you--the…read moresushi was SO fresh and absolutely worth the stop! I tried quite a few things: a crunchy jalapeño, avocado and yellowtail roll (I can't remember the exact name, but it was PERFECT), yellowtail collar, seaweed salad, jalapeño poppers, green tea, and avocado rolls. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. But what made me enjoy this place even more was the atmosphere. Great ambience, relaxed energy, and genuinely good vibes from the staff. You know those places where the food is excellent AND you just feel good being there? This was one of them. It felt like a little treat in the middle of my travels, and I'm really glad I stopped in. Fresh sushi, lovely atmosphere, great service--definitely worth trying if you're in the area!

The sushi is five stars for me and some of the best I've had in Utah. The buffet is mostly a trap in my experience. Some of the sushi from the buffet is good if it's fresh and you often can't tell until biting into it. The hot food from the buffet is hit or miss as well. The buffet items are all over the map- between 1 and 5 stars. Highly recommended provided everyone in your group can take down a few sushi rolls and you have the discipline to wait for them.

I just left for lunch and…read moreI had three cards with a stamp - the card says collect three stamps for a free lunch buffet. Upon paying I was denied the free lunch because the stamps are on separate cards. What makes it so annoying is that every time I've dined here, I've said I've been here before and when they bring the check they bring a new card with a stamp....i didn't even think to have them stamp the same card because I've never not been able to combine something like this. Super lame policy. And a crap way to treat a repeat customer. The two star rating is how bugged I am about the stamp situation. I would rate the sushi & buffet a 4 and our server was a 5, management a 1 for denying my freebie.

There is something about cooking your own food at the table, at exactly the temperature you want, in exactly the amount you want, that turns a meal into an experience worth repeating. The concept is all you can eat Korean style tabletop grilling with two menu options. The Umami Buffet Experience covers a generous selection of quality meats, and the Full Premium Experience adds New York strip steak, Japanese short ribs, lamb, tri tip, shrimp, calamari, and cow tongue. We ordered one of each to compare. Honest verdict: the regular buffet holds its own and the premium upgrade did not justify the price difference enough to order it again next time. The table sauces are worth exploring. The roasted sesame is my personal favorite, but the miso apple and garlic shoyu are both worth trying alongside your meat. A selection of vegetables comes with the grill as well. One welcome improvement since my last visit: the ventilation setup has been redesigned so the smoke no longer follows you home in your clothes for the rest of the evening. A small thing that makes a real difference. The time limit is around three hours, which is more than enough. Forty minutes at the grill was plenty for us. Now for the honest part. The cold buffet side needs work. The spring rolls were a miss, the Hawaiian mac salad was forgettable, and the only sushi option was a California roll that did not taste fresh. For a restaurant that executes the grilling experience this well, the appetizer and salad bar deserve more attention. Four stars for the meat, the experience, and the improved ventilation. Come hungry, focus on the grill, and set your expectations accordingly for everything else on the buffet.
