Playboy & Twist & Shout
Bekah C.

It's been years since my last review, but my recent visit to Ika Sushi confirms that their quality is absolutely consistent and still ranks among the best in the valley. If you're looking for beautifully crafted sushi without the typical downtown madness, this is your spot. The fish is incredibly fresh, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and their creative special rolls are where they truly shine. I highly recommend trying one of their originals like The Joker Roll (salmon, tuna, spicy crab, and lime) or the highly complex Ika Roll. Every piece is thoughtfully topped with specialty sauces or herbs. The chef and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and you get the sense that they genuinely care about giving you a great dining experience. If it's been a while since your last visit, or if you've never been, definitely put Ika Sushi back on your list like I did.

This was my first time at Ika Sushi, and it was such a great experience. We stopped in for a late lunch, so it wasn't very busy, and we were seated right away. The space itself is really cute and the staff was super friendly, which set the tone for a relaxed meal. We ordered a little bit of everything: the Brussels sprouts, a salmon avocado roll, a blue crab avocado roll, an albacore hand roll, and something called the Popeye roll. The Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly, with a nice char and a white miso sauce that was so good we ended up dipping other rolls in it. The salmon roll was tightly rolled with a generous amount of fish, and I really appreciated how well the rice held together even when dipping it in soy sauce and wasabi--no crumbling, which is a win. The blue crab avocado roll was really lovely, and you could definitely taste the fresh blue crab. The albacore hand roll was beautifully done and probably one of the best I've had in the city--simple but really high quality. But the standout for me was the Popeye roll. I never would have thought to put spinach in a sushi roll, but it worked so well. The flavor was unique, and again a little miso sauce took it to another level. One small but thoughtful detail that I loved: after we finished eating, they brought out a little plate of orange slices. It was a nice refreshing way to end the meal and kind of cleanse the palate--simple, but it added a really nice touch to the whole experience. We just had soft drinks with the meal, but overall everything was excellent. Quick, easy, and delicious. Perfect timing going right after lunch because we got in with no wait, and everyone working there was kind and attentive. Highly recommend and already looking forward to going back.

Nigiri and spicy tuna

Really enjoyed our lunch here with the family. The quality of their food is superb. One of the best sushi places here in Salt Lake.

Came in here for dinner and was very pleasantly surprised. The service was super friendly sat at the sushi bar. They were playing low tempo music and has very Japanese feel too it. The fish was super fresh we got 4 rolls! Got their chicken karage too which was nicely fried and delicious. I would come here again. If you're nearby come eat here. Ask for a custom roll they are very talented.

Amazing quality, from the north east and this place is just as good. $60 omakase with an ortoro hand roll. Service was great, we also got gyoza, soup, salad, and chicken teriyaki. All great portions, high quality. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Hamachi carpaccio
Mylan D.

Came back to eat at the best sushi restaurant in SLC. We ordered a ton of food again and everything was delicious. Halibut carpaccio - delicious! Don't need any soy sauce for this dish Yellow tail carpaccio-delicious but the halibut tastes much better Shishito pepper are always great! They aren't spicy even with seeds in it Twist and shout roll is spicy! My lips are still on fire

Yummy Crunch roll
Q Q.

We have been searching for a good sushi place in Utah. We ordered the Rock Shrimp Tempura roll & the Crunch roll. Both were excellent. The Rock Shrimp Tempura was perfectly crunchy & the deep fried tempura coating was very tasty. The sushi hiding underneath was spicy & a big surprise! The crunch roll crab meat filling was delicious! Our server, Haley, was so nice & made great suggestions. She was attentive and checked on us to make sure we were satisfied with our rolls. We will definitely be back and bring friends next time!!!

Tried at tsunami down the road the other night and while that is passable for sushi this is legitimately a true experience of what sushi should be; with a wider fish menu and sushi chefs that take this seriously why would you waste time eating at a more watered down sushi bar. I sat the sushi bar and watch the guys work and the attention to detail was incredible! You can see from the deep look of focus from the chefs here that they not only respect the culture that is of Japanese cuisine they engross it. I started with my usual test of Salmon, yellow tail and mackerel (which is always a good sign that the sushi will be that of substance. Speaking with the chef he recommended I go with fatty tuna, red snapper, amber jack and black snapper. I finished my meal with the standard sweet sushi of tamago and unagi The vibe here is definitely more in line with focus being the food and not so much the over the top unnecessary decor to fake a high end experience as some of the other places I've visited on this trip. All in all this will be my goto sushi place and will come here at least twice on the weeks I'm here

Momokawa Pearl Sake

WOW WOW WOW is all I have to say! (Just kidding, I have a lot more than that as I always do, hahaha). In a singular visit, this has easily become one of my favorite sushi places in the Salt Lake valley. I have been wanting to try Ika sushi for a while now and finally had the opportunity to do so last week. From the outside, it is very unassuming and tucked away within the Riverwalk Shopping Center. The interior of the restaurant is not huge, so while my friends and I were over the course of our for dinner, it filled fairly quickly. I have visited multiple restaurants that were in this specific storefront location that haven't stayed (a poke place, teriyaki, and more), and I HOPE so badly that Ika thrives here because the quality of their sushi was exceptional. One of my friends ordered the Brussel Sprouts which I had the opportunity to try a bite of. To be honest, my first instinct in a sushi place would not be to order Brussel sprouts, but I am so glad my friend did! They are cooked in a citrus white miso sauce and that flavor of the sauce absolutely transforms this dish! Very flavorful! Moving to the sushi, I ordered some Hamachi nigiri and based on my research from other reviews, I really wanted to try out the Twist & Shout roll. When I tell you that the Hamachi nigiri had one of the best quality pieces of raw fish I have ever had, I mean it! Beyond the flavor alone, biting into this piece of Hamachi and through to the rice was like slicing through a soft stick of butter - the texture was perfect! I was almost shocked. To continue to on to the Twist & Shout roll, I cannot express enough that this roll is a MUST try. If you are like me and love a good spicy sushi roll, and this one has the perfect balance of spice. With the chili oil and fresh jalapenos, you have such a nice level of heat that balances so well with the rest of the roll. Also, the addition of the garlic chips adds a nice crunch to each bite without it taking away from the overall texture of the sushi. To end my review, I ask one thing from people who live in this area - please help Ika do well and visit! It is so refreshing to find restaurants in this area that aren't part of a chain, and I want it to succeed so I can keep coming here and not have to go downtown for great sushi!

Bamboozled and  Elixir Roll
Riddhika J.

A DELIGHT FOR SURE! If you sushi and relaxing ambience, this is your jam! The waitress was quiet accommodating even though she was the only server. The ambience is very happening with bright and clean decor. We ordered Gyoza which was superb. The bamboozed sushi was little too sweet for my taste but elixir was amazing. It had jalapeños kick with mango as soother. I would 100% recommend trying them

This has become my go to sushi restaurant is Salt Lake City. I was skeptical the first time I went as it is on a strip mall in "white bread city". I have been back once a month when I am in town. They always have super fresh Uni and monkfish liver pate. The employees always remember me and treat me like a king. The prices are also very reasonable.

Hungry Roll Twist and Shout Roll
Rachel M.

Fun little spot with a good selection of everything from rolls to ramen. We enjoyed the Twist and Shout roll and the eggplant appetizer. Service was fast and super friendly.

Because we don't like QR code driven digital menus, I am posting an image of the menu (and pricing) as of 12/23/23 for viewer convenience.

Do they do sake pairing with omakase?

They recently received their liquor license, so they will be doing this in the near future!

It was great. I would definitely order it again when I'm doing takeout. They traveled really well which is something I always look for in Carrie out items. The guy at the counter was nice. I haven't been here in a while. When I walked in it looked the same. I had takeout but it would have been fine eating there. You can always find a spot to sit.

Only reason I haven't been back is because eating out is a whole-family decision. What you get at Bumblebees is, in my opinion, a rare and odd fusion of foods that loosely fall into the realm of Bulgogi and Primanti Brothers (think fries plus bulgogi). The interior is appropriately dive-y. The service isn't surprising or especially fast (I recall it being respectable), but...that unique combination is only akin to having chili Mac (chili over spaghetti) from Hard times in DC. So...it's in that vein of highly flavored meat over a base starch that is cooked in such a way as to carry the flavor and not hamper it...every time I drive by, I wish my family liked spicy things more - it's totally worth it!!

For many years they occupied a detached building facing 7200 south. But a couple of years ago, they moved into the strip mall directly to the south of their original location. Their spice levels can be off the charts so I'd advise starting with a level 2 of spice. Otherwise the food can be overly spicy. I recently tried their Swai Choo Chee, a white fish in the catfish family. It was really flavorful and the curry in which it was served was a change from the usual green curry I typically order. The staff is friendly and very polite and being Thai natives, they know how to make the food correctly. I will continue to support Chabaar when I'm in Midvale and only wish it was in an area closer to my home.

The restaurant is classy in all details. Interior, dinnerware, service. All food is carefully crafted and delights the taste buds. Well balanced. We first tried this place when it was very young and I hoped that more would discover it. So glad that many have. It is one of the finer restaurants on the Wasatch Front, not just one of the finer Asian restaurants. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier.

The rendang was a clear stand out to me, always been one of my favorite dishes so not a big surprise. The curry chicken was also very tasty and the sauce that came with the greens had a really nice flavor The martabak telor is a meat and eggs stuffed scallion pancake that packs quite a flavor punch!
