Salt Lake City｜Longing for Home in a Foreign Land

Soul-searching question: Craving sushi rolls and Japanese bar snacks but on a tight budget? Want Japanese food with friends but one of your besties is a Chinese-food lover who doesn’t eat raw fish? Then come to Yi Sushi! 🍣 Yi Sushi is a family-run spot with a beautifully poetic Chinese name — (Memory). And sure enough, stepping inside reveals a cozy blend of Japanese and Chinese flavors. Two friendly owners run the show — one handles the sushi bar, the other takes charge of the kitchen. They cover both Japanese and Chinese dishes, so group dinners are easy even with different tastes. Prices are super affordable — perfect for team gatherings! You’ll often see customers ordering huge trays of sushi rolls to go… definitely party-bound 🎉 🌟 Hamachi Kama (Salt-Grilled Yellowtail Collar) My absolute favorite — rich, tender, and juicy. Served with two kinds of dipping sauce. A must-order! ✨ Stir-Fried Rice Noodles My little one has been a loyal fan since he was tiny — at two years old, he’d make a happy mess, and I’d be on my knees cleaning up as the “doting mom.” Now he’s four, and I still grab takeout for his cravings! 🍤 Stir-Fried Udon Anybody else love stir-fried udon but tired of overly sweet Japanese sauces? Here you’ll find the most wok-hei packed, Chinese-palate-friendly udon in all of Utah‼️ Even my picky mom approves. 🍲 Seafood Udon Packed with fresh ingredients in a light, sweet broth. The owner says the seaweed is the soul of the dish — my friend orders this every visit. Perfect for those who prefer milder flavors. 🍥 Mayflower Sushi Roll Gorgeous roll with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and crab — all in one satisfying bite. 🥑 Hand Rolls Priced at half what you’d pay elsewhere — classic combos like eel & avocado? I could easily down four in one go 🐽. Yi Sushi Bistro 📍 6957 State St, Midvale, UT 84047 #SaltLakeCity #SLCTravel #FoodShare #MyFoodDiary #AmericanFoodie #Sushi #JapaneseFood
