This qualifies as the newest sushi joint near the Sandy Draper border. My expectations are always tempered when trying a new restaurant within the first few days of their grand opening. Now here's the scoop. Well done decor - certainly upscale in appearance compared to many of the sushi restaurants in the area. The server was super attentive. Service was fast and they checked back several times to make sure they were taking care of our needs. You'll find plenty of convenient offstreet parking. This is a nice option in the South Valley, so no need to venture downtown. I ordered four different rolls. Ingredients were fresh, flavor was good and size was a little bit larger than average for a roll. You would expect a little extra size because they were priced roughly a dollar more per roll, compared to many of the other local sushi shops. Now here's the sticking point, they put a little bit of a different spin on many of their rolls, not traditional Japanese. For example, they don't have a cucumber roll, only a cucumber/avocado roll. They don't have a Philadelphia roll. The salmon roll, typically rolled in skin, was different structure and it looked much like the California roll only with with salmon in it. Looking at some of the items on the menu, I believe they lean a little bit towards Chinese and away from Japanese. So if you are OK with Chinese on the menu, this will work for a meal. A pleasant surprise... The first 100 customers get a free $10 gift card if they spend $20 on their meal. We earned our card and will be back to explore some other items on their menu. Salute! read more

Two stars because our waitress was nice and she checked on us and asked us often how we were enjoying things. The decor is nice, the food was bland, and overpriced for being so bland. read more

This place has only been open a year but it's fantastic!!! Really fresh and good sushi. Ordered several rolls and all were great. The staff was great and for lunch we were in and out. The rolls were priced accordingly and all were just the right size. I highly recommend stopping by and making this a frequent stop when I'm in town. read more

Their BOGO-50% off offer is BOGus. Let's say you are ordering 3 rolls: First roll $15 Second roll $10 Third roll $4 They take 50% off the $4 roll. You would think they would take 50% off the $10 roll like every other retail establishment in the world...but no. Sushi is decent. Servers are kind. Owners may be greedy thieves. :) read more

This place was great! Checked Temps, sanitized the tables, wore masks. The service was great and the food spectacular. Would definitely recommend. read more

Sooo excited to have this next to work. Sushi is delicious and fresh. They're bento boxes are a great value. Environment is nice, and the waitresses are very nice as well. one CAVIAT, they take a LONG TIME to serve the food. be aware. it was like 20 minutes to get my two rolls. worth the wait, but be aware. The place wasn't packed at lunch which was a little surprising to see it take a while, (it's happened all three times i've been) read more

Really good prices and really good service. Hit or miss rolls. Surprisingly, it's their simpler rolls that were memorable and something I'd go back for. I ordered the Godzilla, Playboy, and spicy salmon roll to go. Their service was pretty quick and super friendly and accommodating. Presentation was great. The rolls were different, they were cut SUPER thin so there were definitely more bites, but idk how I feel about the thinness. And of the three rolls, I only loved the spicy salmon roll. The others were just OK, I honestly probably wouldn't order again. Their menu has a huge variety and their restaurant space is clean and inviting. I would recommend coming and trying out a few different things to decide for yourself if you like it or not. read more

In the Draper area so I Yelp'd and found The Sushi, which looked good enough to try. I sat at the sushi bar and ordered a small hot sake and a large Sapporo. Decent menu with their special being BOGO 50% off (buy one, get one). Rolls don't interest me that much so I went with the Sashimi Mix, which is 16 pieces of fish for $22.90, and it includes soup or salad and rice. Good assortment of sashimi, including tuna, albacore, salmon, yellowtail, octopus, oilfish (white tuna), & talipia (the chewiest of the bunch). The fish was good. The miso soup, not so much. I left very full. Overall, a good place. read more

Really good food all around, great atmosphere, vegan options, great service, very affordable! Found a new favorite place! read more

Umami Japanese Cuisine - Purple Haze at The Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Draper, Utah

We really enjoyed our evening here! It is clean and well designed. We had 9 different rolls and polished them all off! You need to ask your waitress for a recommendation- they have specials that are great!! One star taken because some of the traditional rolls are different than elsewhere so not what we expected, but they were good. Regardless, we will be back. read more

This is our new go to sushi restaurant! Vegas vibe, delicious and our server Surnee was delightful!

Tried this place for the first time!!! It didn't disappoint. Many items to choose from and they were all good. Especially liked the appetizer of fried eggplant. Yum yum yum. Highly recommend!! read more

I hate to share this but I feel I have an obligation to let people know. Went to pick up my take out order and happened to see someone in the kitchen scraping sesame seeds off a entree with a spoon and hen tapping the spoon on the side of a garbage can and them putting the spoon back in the food over and over. Was horrified to realize that was meant for me because we let them know to omit sesame seeds as my son has an allergy. Not only was there a negligence on attempting to serve us food contaminated with an allergen, the total disregard for their customers in repeatedly putting a spoon in a garbage can and back in food they would then serve us is appalling. Needless to say we let them know we no longer wanted our order and that we were very grossed out. read more

The taste of the food is fairly good but the temperature is bad. All my food came cold. The miso soup was cold, the noodles under the teriyaki came cold and even the gyozas were cold. I asked the server to warm up the soup but it was still lukewarm. On my way out, I saw a guy bringing his food back to the counter saying," too cold." So I believe it's not just me. There were only 2-3 tables before my party but I still waited 20mins for the lunch special.. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and the sushi rolls tasted fresh though. read more

Not sure if the Sushi was bad or their sauce was bad, but I sent back the Sushi. They took back the full plate of Sushi and offered to have me pay 50% off. How does that work? I taste your dish and explain it doesn't taste right, you take it away and do me a favor of having to still pay 50%? Finally the "owner" understood the logic behind having a customer pay for a dish they couldn't eat and took it off the ticket, for that I thank them. The chicken teriyaki was good. I give two stars for poor service and poor Sushi. Hopefully it was just an off night. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is good. It is too bad the experience wasn't better. Thanks again to the owner for making it right. For Matt, careful with your customer interaction, you come across as rude, especially when you question a customer about what they order, like saying ".....ok that's all you want is edemame?". read more

My wife and I have been pretty excited to try this place out, since we live so close by. Tonight, we went there for dinner. The decor is really nice! We were surprised, given the location - we just assumed it would be more strip mall-ish, but nope - it was very nice. Our waiter was super attentive, and really nice. We ordered the Spicy Tuna sashimi, as well as three of their spicy rolls (1 normal, 2 specialty). They were all pretty good, but not one of them was what I'd consider to be "spicy"...so I'm hoping they might work on that a little. The sashimi was amazing, though! It was spiced really well, and the presentation was great. I was super happy with that. Future goals: I hope they add hamachi sashimi to the menu. We were one of the first 100 customers, so they also gave us a $10 card to come back and eat with them again - and we will! read more

Great customer service! Lately, I've been going through a deep personal struggle. I also hadn't seen my closest friend in a while, so we met at here to catch up & so she could help me through this hard time. We got there at 5:15 PM and stayed until close - nearly 4 hours! The waitress we had completely enhanced our experience. I felt guilty staying for so long, but she spoke to us some, getting to know us, and even gave us our dessert for free. She didn't know it, but her kindness brought some light into my dark night, so I cannot wait to go back soon. read more

We were excited to try The Sushi because we love sushi and this was less than 5 minutes from our house. We love all types of sushi, but it as to be done right and taste good. Sadly, this place was not good!!! The sushi rolls were just plain. Even the deep fried rolls(Las Vegas) were chewy not crisp. We went with friends and ordered 6 different rolls, and none of them were good. The Even the Chicken teriyaki was dry, over cooked and tasteless. The service was very good, and that is why I am giving it a 2*. Our server was nice and prompt with any requests. Sadly, we won't be going back and I would not recommend it to friends. Sushi needs to be done right, and we were very disappointed in the quality and taste of the food. read more

The sushi is hands down my favorite sushi place around. Their food is fresh and very reasonably priced. I've eaten here maybe 10 times and never had anything but a 5 start experience. My wife and I love this place. It was kind of busy tonight. That made me smile to know that this place thriving. Going to be eating here for years. read more

This is the best sushi and noodles I have ever had. The egg drop soup is to die for. I have gone to a lot of Chinese and Japanese restaurants. This is by far my favorite. The service is amazing and the waitress is so knowledgeable. If you are looking for a good sushi place or just a Japanese restaurant that's amazing this is the place to go. The pricing is really good for the amount of food you get. read more

Ok, wow wow wow. The staff is wonderful, and the food... wow wow wow. Best meal of 2021!! The sushi is always fresh and insanely delicious. You must go! I would put a few select choices of sushi to recommend but everything we'd tried on and off menu is fantastic! read more

Very friendly staff and nice good. The free sample of Oden cooking style soul is pretty awesome. Sushi rolls are very delicious as well. Would come back for sure. read more

Definitely 5 stars. Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, and beautiful, delicious sushi!

Amazing sushi, always fresh and you get actual Japanese plates, chopsticks and soy sauce kettles. Their ramen is amazing as are their bento boxes. They have all of the Japanese drinks and their daily deals cannot be beat. Their oven baked mussels are incredible especially since we are in Utah and the service is always kind and friendly. Their basic spicy tuna roll is the best I've found. This place is fantastic. read more

We love this restaurant. Excellent sushi and great friendly service. We will definitely go back. Randy and Shauna read more

Service was really good, the wait was a long one but the made up for it with free edamame that was really good. I was disappointed that they didn't have a great selection of cooked sushi. The presentation was a little over the top as they delivered the sushi on a huge wooden boat that took up a lot of space on the table. Sushi was okay I felt it was kind of generic and not super cold when served to us. I saw that they have bento boxes and if I go back I'd love to try one of those. read more

We have been here a couple times and liked it. We just brought our Grandparents there tonight. Our grandmother is Japanese and our grandfather spent nearly 20 years there and they said this was the most authentic and delicious restaurant that they have eaten at in a many years! Food was amazing!! read more

Great place for cheap sushi. My husband (who is picky) said that they had the best Spicy Salmon roll he has had in a long time. Godzilla is also an amazing roll, we aren't big fans of fried rolls but this one is great! Not too much batter which I like and it was 12 pieces for $7.90!!! The Spider Roll is also a great choice. read more

After four visits, it can't be anomaly. The service has always been prompt and friendly, the sushi fresh and made to order, and the prices a good value for the quality of food and service. The Sushi is now our go-to place for sushi and Japanese cuisine. read more

It was ok. Not the best sushi in the valley by any stretch. Nice atmosphere for a strip mall joint. And the music was great -- they were playing acoustic cover songs. Service was fairly slow but the server was very sweet. It was alright for a last minute sushi craving but I definitely wouldn't make it a top priority, as there is much better sushi around the valley. read more

Our server was very nice. We asked a lot of questions about all the different rolls they have, there were many. She was very nice and took the time and explained the different rolls to us. My husband ordered the Mt Fuji roll. He said that he liked it. He wasn't ecstatic about it, but said it was good. I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen. It was okay, but not the best I've had. We still would come back and try other menu items. There were so many other items to pick from, I'm sure I'll find something I'll like. But, the service was so great, enough for me to come back and try something else. read more

Wow! Maybe the best experience in Utah for me my wife and child so far. Yes it's in a small area, but the inside is spacious and beautiful. The sushi is absolutely amazing, the table service was the best I have seen and they had the game on as well. Very clean respectful atmosphere, honestly so close to home I can't believe how lucky we are to have this place. When it's busy parking will be creative, and the entry way is interesting, totally worth it! Amazing! read more

Fantastic experience! We went with some rolls since BOGO 50% off. All were great! Won't hesitate to come again. There's always been a bit trick underneath BOGO half off. We have to be smart to have an access to a REAL "buy one get one." Ordered 4 rolls with similar price and saved one chef's special roll money. Will come again with my colleagues. read more

I did not love this place. I wanted to since it's close to me and the reviews were ok... our server didn't know anything about the menu/rolls ... we had to ask for extra wasabi three times... but the worst part was the mayo/sour cream topping on our rolls! Ekkkkkkk it was not good ... and our miso soup was fishy .. we won't go again read more

The only thing I don't like about this place is the name. Extensive menu in case you want to bring kids that don't like sushi. Best tempura in a very long time. Orange County Roll is unique and very tasty. They don't skimp on the fish either. Service was excellent. read more

I really wanted to love this place. The servers were super nice and attentive, the decor was lovely, but the food still needs work. The fish is really fresh which is a huge plus. But where I had an issue is there is way too much mayo and creamy sauces on the roles to really be able to taste anything other than mayo which was really disappointing. The MT Fuji roll and the orange county roll were both overdone. Cut back a bit on the sauces and the rolls would be good. read more

Best sushi ever! I love this place. It's clean, it's quiet, everything is so fresh and they truly care about their customers. My favorite is the Orange County roll and I have taken several people there to try it and they have loved it too. Hands down my favorite place for sushi. read more

Overall we were very pleased with our experience. The restaurant is nicely decorated, bright and colorful. Service was good. We got miso soup, edamame a few sushi rolls and some chicken teriyaki. It was all good. We will certainly be back. read more
