"No-Regrets Ordering Guide | UMI Japanese AYCE in Salt Lake City" 🍲

Overall Rating: 7.5/10 📍 2701 S State St, South Salt Lake, UT 84115 Quick Take: It's decent—what you'd expect from an affordable AYCE spot. This place offers hot pot + ordered plates of meat, sushi, and grilled skewers. You can order 2 plates of meat/skewers per round, but servers will check in for refills. 🍖 Grilled Skewers Options: chicken / shrimp / beef Two styles: Japanese (teriyaki-style, sweet) or Chinese (smoky BBQ flavor). Verdict: Average—not bad, but not amazing. 🥬 Buffet Ingredient Bar (Honest Talk) Lots of choices, but freshness is just okay. The shrimp weren’t very fresh—texture was off. Not recommended to load up on. 🥩 Meat Plates Good variety. The beef chuck/shoulder was the standout—tender and flavorful! 🍦 Dessert & Drinks Ice cream was nice—a plus at the end. Thai tea was surprisingly good—well-balanced sweetness. Highly recommend! 📌 Final Thoughts This is a: ✔️ Budget-friendly AYCE (lunch is $18.99!) ✔️ Filling with plenty of options Perfect for a post-ski meal when you just want to eat a lot without spending much. Good for casual hangs or group meals—just don’t expect gourmet-level flavors.
