The ultimate sushi & pho crossover! [So good, my skeptical husband forgot to take pics!] This place is an absolute gem! An intimate neighborhood culinary retreat with immense character offering a warm and personal dining experience. They have a great selection of sushi, the food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. We came in right after their happy hour rush, and the staff didn't skip a beat. Our server, Yari was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and patient as we went back & forth on our dinner choices. Another server, Cam brought out our small plates & was also friendly. The manager, Niquey welcomed us in & stopped by our table several times and was so genuinely kind, which added such a warm, welcoming touch to our dining experience. We received an extra bonus when the GM, Hernan come out to introduced himself and ensured we were happy with our food. My husband was actually pretty skeptical about getting sushi, as he usually feels fish is never fresh at the start of the week. However, the hamachi with their house sauce completely changed his mind--it was incredibly fresh! He was impressed! The avocado roll with chili oil was also phenomenal. In fact, the food was so good we completely forgot to take pictures before diving in!Between the sushi, the West Side roll my son-in-law ordered & demolished and our comforting bowls of pho, every single dish nailed it! Finding a spot that executes both sushi and pho at such a high level is rare. We will definitely be back! read more

Updated review to keep track of my go-to rolls: * Kamikaze * Westside * Vampire * Dragonfly * Low Rider (similar to West Side but has tuna) Service and food are fantastic. Love the additional of the sauces which surprisingly go very well with the rolls! read more

This was our first visit to Fat Fish, right nextdoor to bucket O crab; it definitely made a great first impression. The restaurant has a fun, welcoming atmosphere with a lively energy, yet it's still comfortable enough to enjoy a relaxed meal. The service was excellent--our server was friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations when we couldn't decide what to order. We started with the pan-fried gyoza, which had a perfectly crisp sear and came with a delicious spicy ginger dipping sauce. It was a unique sauce that paired wonderfully with every bite. We we knew we wanted one of our usuals the Playboy roll but then asked for a recommendation our server recommended the Kamikaze roll, and we're so glad we took her advice. Both rolls were beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor. The Kamikaze was served with a cilantro-lime sauce that added a bright, refreshing finish and really made the roll stand out. The spicy edamame was another standout. I'm not exactly sure what was in the sauce, but it had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Fair warning, though--when they say spicy, they mean it! It definitely brought the heat, but the flavor was so good we couldn't stop eating it. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the overall quality of the meal made it feel like a great value. Between the welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and excellent food, Fat Fish earned a spot on our list of places to return to. We already know we'll be ordering that Kamikaze roll again on our next visit. read more

Fat Fish Sushi continues to be a favorite of mine after more than 12 years of coming here. The new all-you-can-eat option Monday through Thursday is such a great addition, and I'm honestly impressed that the quality hasn't gone down at all. The fish is still fresh, the rolls are well made, and everything tastes just as good as it always has. Consistency like that over so many years is hard to find. The staff is friendly, the service is solid, and it's still a place I'm excited to come back to again and again. If you're looking for quality sushi with a great value option, Fat Fish is absolutely worth it. read more

I have to tell the honest truth I did go in here expecting to eat sushi but I did get the phone and I have to say it was fantastic. I'm not a big person, but I saw a guy mowing down on it and I thought damn that looks pretty damn good so I tried it and yes, it was amazing. I had the steak so I couldn't leave without a couple pieces of Nigiri so I had a salmon and a tuna you know it was good. I don't know about five stars worthy. I'm only giving them three stars because I don't know a whole lot about pho and the sushi. It was good one great the people were not real friendly. There's no communication really with the sous chefs and I like to talk to them and you have a little bit of activity with them and a little slow getting seen it places clean it's crowded people like it. The manager did come over and check on me and bring me my bill but for me three stars next time I go back I'll do a full sushi run and see if it's four or five stars thanks fat fish. read more

This has been my go-to sushi spot for YEARS! The quality of the sushi and the friendly service never disappoint. The restaurant is also clean and spacious. The pricing is very reasonable. I've tried nearly half the menu at this point and I've been a fan of everything I've tried. read more

Food quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Tried out Fat Fish for the first time and it was a great experience! The staff was welcoming and nice, and the restaurant was clean. We ordered a few different plates to share and everything came out relatively fast. I wish there was gyoza in the menu, but other than that, the menu had a pretty good variety of both fish and shellfish items. Would definitely go back to try other items! read more

Good sushi, knowledgeable staff, great atmosphere. I would go there again if I was in the area.

When searching for sushi in town I've had a fair number of recommendations for Fat Fish specifically. The sushi here is decent and they offer a fair variety for rolls. I was able to try a number of different menu items and enjoyed a lot of the menu items. The service was reasonable despite the resultant being pretty busy, and the staff members were pleasant to speak to. Over all the inside of the restaurant was also clean and organized with art and design elements. The only real things that kept them from getting 5 stars, were that the benches were wet when we sat down, and slower drink refills. The menu is pretty hard to navigate if you can't eat shrimp/shellfish, and they rely heavily on crab and shrimp for most their rolls, more than most. read more

Came here for lunch during the week and was seated immediately. Open floor plan, but lots of booth seating as well! I ordered the Tempura Veggies, Sunset Roll, and Meatball Pho. The Tempura was a 10/10, lightly battered yet super crunchy and flavorful. The Sunset roll didn't disappoint, and the Pho wasn't too bad. Great place to satisfy your sushi craving if you're in the area! read more

About 2 years ago, we came here on a whim. The sunset roll was amazing with the sour of the lemon and sweet of the sugar. The rest of the rolls were just ok, but given sushi in Utah is highly commercialized, this hit the sushi spot. Rolls made ok, tighter than other restaurants in Utah, and tasted fresh enough. Fish wasn't smelly which is a good sign but a bit chewy, so likely has been frozen. Because of this Nigiri roll, wasn't as flavorful. Rice was white rice, not sushi rice but I've yet to see true sushi rice in Utah. Would come back for the sunset roll read more

This place is amazing. The service was great and the sushi is top-notch. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. We will be back.

The food is a amazing. I have been a regular for 5 years. There are so many servers that I adore and ask for every time!! Dylan, Fabi and Yuri are my go tos!!!! They get the order right, serve food quick and aim to please!! The floor manager is Kendra so sweet and is always checking in. Now the best sushi maker there is Nerfyre. I love these people and the food.!! All there service is amazing EXCEPT FOR THE MANAGER HERNAN!!! HE is going to run this business into the ground. He is taking away menu options. Shortened the all you can eat. And is a nazi control freak with the all you can eat that you have lick the plate or bowl clean or he charges you full. Fucking ridiculous. I avoid this place when I see him in side. I hope the owner knows he is ruining her livelihood. read more

Came here for All-You-Can-Eat Sushi starting at 5pm with a larger group. We made reservations for 12 people just in case and were told accommodations could be made. It wasn't until we sat down and ordered our drinks when the staff told us that they have a rule where they cannot let parties of 8 or more do AYCE. This was not disclosed to us when we made the reservation, when we had a confirmation call, also nowhere to be found on the website. We then asked our nice server if we could separate tables since the restaurant was pretty empty and she said "I don't see why not, but let me ask my manager". The manager then approached us and told us that if we wanted to separate our party we would have to sit on opposite sides of the establishment and "you cannot get up and talk to each other". We informed him that we would be on separate group ticket and would not share food, but he became rude and unaccommodating . The staff seemed really friendly, but the manager was very unhelpful and disrespectful. We ended up eating at a different restaurant because of this. read more

Came in to make a to go order. Service was ok. I asked a couple of questions about the menu and they really couldn't answer my questions. The restaurant was empty and it appeared they were getting ready for the dinner rush however, it appeared they were most consumed with that than answering questions. read more

I ordered the Tataki, Imperial, and Baja Cali. All three rolls were filled with crab and topped with thin pieces of fish. Two of the rolls were supposed to be spicy and were not. All three were bland and mostly flavorless. Disappointed, will not be purchasing here again. read more

Fat Fish - Super thin piece of fish doesn't even completely cover the top of the roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Fat Fish is a very cute restaurant snuggled just off 3300 S. It has a nice and compact layout. Well placed decor and lots of windows that bring natural light into the restaurant. Its seating is kind of tight, so it can be a little noisy depending on the time. Maybe it's an aesthetic, but I noticed that the booth seats are a little worn and scuffed. Another patron shuffled in their seat and it moved my seat. This place does have hand rolls, though they are a little on the pricier side for what you get. Hand rolls are slightly flavorless here. It's the lack of wasabi that is usually pre-rolled into the hand roll and the Fat Fish sushi chefs added needless garnish. Good plating is important but not at the expense of flavour! Their rolls are priced in mostly three tiers. I chose a mid tier. The Samurai is basically a California roll with a thin piece of Salmon as a hat. Disappointing and I felt cheated. The Salmon was supposed to be lightly seared per the menu description. It isn't. A very forgettable roll. The Pho was good. Broth was clear with a noticeable herb infusion. Not hearty enough for me, but I know some people prefer the lighter soup base. I'll recommend it. They had a good selection of Pho, so I'll be back to try their other variations. This is a nice place for a warm Pho in the cold seasons, in a cute space. Their sushi offerings aren't on point and can be pricey. read more

The food was great, the service was semi slow but yet it gave enough time before the next round of sushi. The ambiance was cute just wish you could hear the music throughout the whole place you can mainly hear it by the entrance. The decor was nice/simple yet minimalist at its finest definitely a good little lunch/quick date spot read more

A solid place in West Valley to grab some sushi, pho, or a bento box at a reasonable price and quality. The sushi has come a long way and they even have some hidden special rolls (such as the Dragon or Vampire). The P2 Pho is pretty good here too with a good balance of flavors and broth. For bento boxes, the Korean BBQ is really yummy with really tender bulgolgi. Overall, a great spot to hit up for some quick and well-made, no frills Asian food! It's also next to Fillings and Emulsions next door. Check them out for desserts afterwards! read more

Maybe something was just off the night we went, but there was a single server on the floor with zero support. They were bussing, hosting, and taking care of 8 to 9 table sections. The food was good once it came out, but the second round took a long time I've heard great reviews about this place I hope they aren't leaving their staff out to dry all the time. read more

The food here is delicious! I came here last year with my sisters and remembered everything being fantastic, so decided to come back today :) The food was GREAT! They have a large menu (so many delicious looking options)-- so it took us a while to decide on what to eat. They have large portions and the sushi came out VERY QUICKLY. The manager brought our food to our table and he mentioned they had their "A Team" working today. Fantastic job sushi & cook team! The vibe here at Fat Fish is chill. Plenty of space and lots of natural light. We ordered the bento box, Marz roll, UFO roll & Pho P1. Bento box: 9/10 there was SO MUCH MEAT! They are not stingy here and it is well worth the price. Marz roll: 8/10 -- good UFO roll: 9/10 -- very tasty Pho P1: 10/10 large bowl and the meats were great and large portion I loved that the manager was there, because our server was nonexistent lol. He seemed new, so it's okay. Great job Fat Fish, we'll be back! read more

Delicious sushi and the wait staff is good. Think a bit pricey but like the place. It's clean and nice vibe.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Finally made it there this week. I had high hopes... but what a disappointment. I tried four of their rolls and they were about the thinnest slices of sushi I have run across... nothing was bad... just so mediocre. Won't be back sadly. read more

I come here 2-3 times a month. Kamakazi and lucky 7 are my favorites! If you're pregnant or vegan they have the best veggie rolls.

This is my Family's Favorite sushi resturant. I would call ourselves regulars. Every time we go we are happy with the quality of the rolls and the Pho is amazing. Honestly my Husband and I come at least once a week. You can't find a better bang for your buck anywhere else. This place is definitely worth a trip! The service is usually pretty good, the waitors we were close to have left but the other staff is just as great. We have found coming right at 5 or just before 6:30 you beat the dinner rush. read more

The food is very delicious the sushi tastes freshly made and the kids chicken teriyaki was a good amount for my 5 year old . The prices are quite high tho I wish the sushi would already include the sauces such as the eel sauce or spicy mayo. Other than that it's a great place for sushi I highly recommend read more

Have you ever craved pho and sushi at the same time? If so, fat fish is the place to go. Visited on a Friday afternoon and we were seated immediately. I used to come here for the sushi and thought the pho was meh, but this time it was the other way around. The kids pho contained so much flavor, yum!! I also always get the calamari and it never disappoints. read more

It has been a few years since we have been to fat fish, and I remember really enjoying it the last time we went. However, we were really disappointed this time and I am sorry to say that because it's used to be a place that we really liked. We started with the edamame and the jalapeño bomb. These were fine. Not crazy amazing, just fine. Our group ordered a number of different types of rolls to share and none of them were phenomenal. In fact, everything was just okay. There didn't seem to be very much fish or shrimp or other ingredients included in the rolls. The rice was kind of dry, and they weren't rolled very well. The sauce was not great, and there could've been more of it. Overall, it was just... Disappointing. Our service was great and friendly and fast, but unfortunately, we have a lot of other sushi options here in Salt Lake City, so we will probably go elsewhere next time. read more

Update to my previous review. If you are gluten free check your rolls if you order any with shrimp. We received a roll (ordered off the gluten free menu. Server made all the appropriate notes for the kitchen) with tempura shrimp and I unfortunately noticed after taking the first bite. The Chef either didn't know what gluten free meant or just didn't pay attention when making the rolls but either way I'm highly disappointed as I've been coming here for years with no problems. read more

My husband and I told my son that he could choose where he wanted to eat for his 10th birthday and Fat Fish is where we ended up and what a good decision that was. We arrived at Fat Fish around 5:15 on a Sunday evening, with a party of 13, and it wasn't too busy that they were able to get us seated quickly. Only eight of us were already there and we were waiting on the stragglers, so it was very nice that they were able to seat us. Once seated we met our waiter Merwin and he was absolutely fantastic! My mom is a picky eater and Merwin was kind enough to bring her a bit of the Pho broth to taste to ensure that it would be something she would enjoy. Merwin was also great in providing suggestions on what sushi rolls to order. I completely spaced taking pictures of the beautiful rolls, but some of the rolls that our party ordered were the playboy, Vegas roll, mojo, Red Violin Roll, dragon warrior, Venus, and a few more. Of all the rolls I tried I don't think there was one that I didn't like as they were all delicious! My mom even enjoyed her Pho. Fat Fish will stay on our list of sushi places, but has also gained a spot on our list of places to go for Pho. read more
