👍 Food Recommendations Near Salt Lake City, Utah 🍽️
1️⃣ Takashi Japanese Restaurant Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price: 💰💰💰 Extremely fresh ingredients — flown in daily. Opens at 5:30 PM, but people start lining up 1–2 hours early (especially weekends). Although they close at 10 PM, seating is limited. Parking is a bit tricky, and it’s on the pricier side, but the freshness and melt-in-your-mouth quality make it worth it! 2️⃣ Happy Lamb Hotpot Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price: 💰💰💰 (All-You-Can-Eat) A chain spot with stir-fried noodles, sides, desserts, and even cotton candy! Includes drinks (house-made milk tea). Kids under 6 eat free. Two AYCE tiers — the $32.99 option includes unlimited grilled lamb leg and snow crab legs. Lamb leg is crispy outside, tender and juicy inside. Broth recommendation: Golden Sour Cabbage — flavorful and delicious. Also has free unlimited ice cream! Parking spaces are limited though. 3️⃣ Beijing Sichuan House Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price: 💰💰💰 A Sichuan restaurant with generous portions. Their flavor was inconsistent for a while (sometimes too salty, sometimes too sweet), but recently it’s improved — much tastier now! Great for spice lovers. Avoid: Ants Climbing a Tree (just not their best dish). 4️⃣ Pho 33 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price: 💰💰 Perfect for Vietnamese food lovers. Must-try: Pho #33 with oxtail broth. Their egg rolls are also amazing — I order them every time! Ample parking. Closed on Mondays. 5️⃣ New Golden City (China Town Eatery) Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price: 💰💰 A dim sum spot inside Chinatown — skip if you care about ambiance or service. But the food is truly delicious! Dim sum available all day, plus congee. Recommendations: Dry-fried beef ho fun (wok hei!), curry potato & beef brisket rice. Try to avoid weekends if possible… 📌 Note: I’ve lived in Salt Lake City, Utah long-term. This post is not sponsored — just my personal opinions after paying out of pocket.
