Mint Tapas and Sushi 4 (Sugar House) — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

We’ve been to The Mint a couple of times now, and each visit is a lovely experience. The space has a clean, modern vibe inside, but we especially love sitting outside on the patio—it’s the perfect spot for a summer evening.

This time, we started with two cocktails: the Blue Sky and the Pink Man—both super refreshing and perfect for sipping in the sunshine. The Blue Sky even came with a sparkly rock candy pop. I didn’t really partake in it, but I did dip it in the drink for the glittery vibes—felt very Sirtter-worthy.

For food, we kicked things off with the baked mussels and noodle tuna—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The baked mussels were especially delicious, and when we asked for a few more crostini, our server happily brought them out without hesitation.

We continued with the Walu ceviche and some sashimi, which were both bright, fresh, and ideal for the warm weather. On our server’s recommendation, we also tried the galaxy lollipops—so glad we did! They were vibrant and super tasty.

Just when we thought we were done, we kept seeing adorable little martini glasses going by filled with something purple. Turns out it was UBE dessert, and we couldn’t resist. It was the perfect sweet ending to the meal—light, creamy, and totally crave-worthy.

The staff here is always friendly and attentive, and it’s clear they care about both the food and the guest experience. We’ll absolutely be back—especially for another round of cocktails...

Wow! What a gem! We are visiting from Tampa, FL and are use to amazing sushi/tapas restaurants and we have to say Mint now ranks one of the best cuisines we have had. First off the menu has plenty of options and the more people you bring the more variety you can try, everything on the menu looked amazing. Fortunately, we had the most passionate and knowledgeable waiter, named Sloan, he was able to not only describe each dish, make amazing recommendations, add items that complimented and was a top A representation of any 5 star restaurant. Some of our absolute favorites were the Wagyu Beef, this was our absolute favorite. Not only was it tender, flavorful and delicious, it was a large portion to share with at least 4 people. Our number 2 dish was the crispy tuna, we order this everywhere it's on the menu and this was our number 1 crispy tuna! Flavorful, and large portion. Sloan recommended a "fresh wasabi", which was like a slightly spicy relish that complimented every dish. 3rd dish was Jalapeno Yellowtail, perfectly cut, and marinated in a special sauce. The Salmon appetizer had a citrus dressing that enhanced the fish along with avocado and oranges. We also ordered a few sushi rolls! Everything was perfect!! We...

My wife and were searching for a good spot for dinner on a Friday night. We felt in the mood for Japanese food. The problem is that there are a billion sushi joints these days and most of them are just so-so. I noticed the 4 Mint Tapas and Sushi restaurants in Salt Lake Valley and they all have very high Google ratings so we decided to check it out and went to the Sugar House location. Holy cow - BELIEVE THE HYPE! This place is amazing. We selected:

Edamame (teriyaki/citrus glaze) Jalapeno hamachi tapa Tuna tataki (tomato, orange, avocado, jalapeno) Mercury roll (topped with salmon) Vulcan roll (tempura-fried roll topped with crab/scallop and in a citrus ponzu sauce) Sunomono (cucumber salad) Ube ice cream Crepe (can't remember the name of this dessert)

Everything was off-the-charts. The Vulcan roll was one of the best things we have eaten in a long time. Ube ice cream has a coconut milk base - incredible taste and texture.

Service was also fantastic. Our waiter (Sloan) took a ton of time to carefully explain everything on the menu and make recommendations.

We will...
