    Not open on Sundays
    Erin A.

    Consistently good! The Cuban roll and torched Maguro are the best items on the menu! I drove 45 minutes to get some sushi I could depend on, but they were closed

    Sunset rolls
    Jessica K.

    The rolls are a little bit loose but they hold together when picked up. Not the best sushi I've had but it's still really good! I'll definitely come here again. We got our rolls to go and they packaged it beautifully. Also we got two boba smoothies (taro and green tea) both were yummy.

    A good bang for your buck kind of place to go and grab some sushi. The rules are quite large so don't over order like we did by ordering six rolls for four of us. Our favorite role was the firecracker roll! The only downside is the environments a little funky overly utilitarian... And we couldn't quite figure out why there was a European landscape in front I didn't quite fit with the whole vibe of a sushi place ;-)

    Cuban Roll wins every time! Easily the best sushi joint in Provo, they only do dine in until 7:30 right now tho!!

    We love this place! Good bang for your buck and the quality has never wavered. Our favorites are the cuban, sunset, firecracker and mango habanero rolls. You won't be able to find better sushi for a cheaper price.

    Bonsai, Mango Habanero
    Matthew M.

    Had lunch here today. Food was delicious. The mango habanero one was unreal. Also I highly recommend their boba's. One of the best I've ever had. It was pretty quiet when we went in around 1:30pm so we had the place to ourselves. It was nice to not get caught in the lunch rush. Great food, cool place.

    Yellowtail nigiri
    Justine G.

    After reading all the positive reviews I was excited to try this place out. My husband and I placed an order for take out. The lady I spoke with was very nice and helped me find the best vegetarian option. We ended up ordering 4 sushi rolls, nigiri and a boba smoothie. Some reviews had mentioned how cheap the lunch rolls were but we ended up paying way more than I thought. The prices shown on the menu pictured on Yelp are way different than what we were charged. I'm assuming they raised their prices due to the pandemic... the sushi was just ok. I've definitely had better sushi. My husband said the yellowtail nigiri was not good at all. I don't think we'll be ordering from here again anytime soon.

    Top is mango jalapeño (fried), middle Godzilla (fried) and the bottom is the Cuban.

    My new favorite sushi spot! Everyone that works here is always nice. Food is consistently fresh and tasty! I haven't tried a roll I didn't like. But I have my faves! The mango jalapeño, the Cuban and the special is pretty good as well.

    This place is amazing. Every single roll was well put together and the server was so sweet and brought us plenty of extra ginger when we asked. Can't wait to come again

    Bonsai and Hulk
    Ana M.

    This place is tiny but it wasn't busy so we had no problem getting one of the two tables. The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. Service was friendly, specially from the sushi chef. The server was reserved and not very engaging, but he was efficient. The sushi was delicious and presentation was awesome. We ordered the Sunset, Bonsai, Hulk, Lady in Red, and sake maki rolls. All very enjoyable. I loved that the sunset had real crab, the sashimi tasted very fresh, the salmon had a nice fat content, and the fried shrimp and asparagus were crisp. The problem I had with the sushi was that it came apart easily so kind of messy, it needs to be rolled a little tighter. I'll come back for sure.

We had the miso soup- pretty good the tofu pieces were small and few. Edamame was typical in size. Some of the sushi rice was not cooked thoroughly and I don't know why or how but some pieces fell apart with the chop sticks... poor building skills. Cons: Not a good selection- they make more Tuna Rolls than any other fish No Fresh Wasabi option- only the paste The Unagi is normally fall apart tender, our we had to actually chew it.. rubbery, And water isn't just given, you have to ask for it a few times The Yellow Tail with Mango- not good Pros... The Snowy Mountain- was Awesome As the Hawaiian The Vegas is my favorite everywhere I go, and this was good- but it's lightly batter in tempura , where this was done differently and instead of ruining it covered in spicy mayo., I drizzle eel/ponzu sauce.. California roll is always a staple Caterpillar is bomb.. I normally order the Philly- here they use smoked salmon which is NOT used to make this.. so order with traditional salmon, tastes 100% better For two of us with soda our bill was $115 For two people.. not Four.. we didn't want to wait till 9pm "happy hour" for the 50% sweet deal... it's a joke in the wall spot for locals that feel this is good sushi, when it's actually not..

    I'm a fan! They charge per plate. While it ends up costing about as much as you'd get at other…read moresushi restaurants, there's something fun about being able to pick what you want as it cruises on by on the conveyer belts. We do like to order some fresh though. Would recommend the aburi salmons (regular, spicy and cheese). My favorite is the spicy. It's usually pretty crowded. It's in a great location by the theater and other eats. The service can sometimes be a little lacking as we didn't see our server to take our drink order until about 15 minutes in and he only checked on us one more time. You're mostly self sufficient here though. All the rest are good and would recommend just getting whatever looks good to you!

    My girlfriend and I visited Tsubame Rotating Sushi mainly because we loved the idea of a conveyor…read morebelt sushi restaurant. The concept is genuinely fun, and it's probably the biggest reason to visit. Every plate costs the same ($3.59), making it easy to try a variety of items without worrying about different prices. The restaurant is clean, the seating is comfortable, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the experience. We tried most of the sushi rolls that came by, and the biggest issue was the rice. Since sushi is my favorite food, I pay close attention to the quality of the rice, and this was by far the weakest part of the meal. It was overly soft, sticky, and overcooked, giving many of the rolls an unpleasant texture. The fish itself tasted fresh, which I appreciated, but the rice overpowered the entire experience. We also ordered the takoyaki, and it was disappointing. The outside was thick, while the inside felt undercooked and almost mushy. The amount of octopus was reasonable, but the texture kept us from enjoying it. For dessert, we tried the Nutella fried takoyaki. The ice cream and whipped cream were perfectly fine, but the fried dough itself was thick and dry inside. It wasn't a bad dessert, but it wasn't memorable either. Overall, I think Tsubame is worth visiting once for the experience. Watching the sushi rotate around the restaurant is fun, especially if you've never been to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant before. However, if you're looking for outstanding sushi, there are much better options in Utah. The concept is excellent, the service is good, and the fish seemed fresh, but the quality of the rice and some of the hot dishes kept us from wanting to come back. If you're going for the experience, you'll probably have a good time. If you're going primarily for great sushi, you may leave disappointed.

The decor is…read morenice and modern, with the feel of an upscale converted industrial building featuring stone, wood, and elegant accent curtains. The staff was friendly and wait times were good. Prices run a little higher than at typical sushi restaurants, but the generous portions make it feel like good value. The menu had a lot of options. There were plenty of maki rolls, appetizers, teriyaki, bento boxes, noodle dishes, and even non-traditional items like Thai peanut stir fry, seafood tempura, coconut crusted halibut, miso glazed salmon, and a 10-ounce Samurai NY strip steak. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have tamago, though. I only tried the sushi and sashimi. The miso soup was savory and loaded with tofu, green onions, and nori, though it wasn't quite hot enough. The sushi and sashimi slices were substantial, which justified the price premium. The fish was firm and succulent, and the rice was well prepared. The menu is priced à la carte, giving you flexibility to order exactly what you want. I'd recommend The Happy Sumo for quality sushi in a stylish setting with a broad menu. A solid 4-star experience.

I got the bento box as a fail safe, but there were still too many things that I didn't like. The veggie tempura is a shredded veggie mix instead of whole vegetables. Their avocado in the California roll was a bit brown, and the worst part was the rice, which was hard and separated (pretty sure they used long grain rice). The best part of the meal was their tempura sauce that's served warm, and their miso soup. The girl that served us was friendly too.
