It genuinely blows my mind this place is rated as highly as it is. As someone who appreciates a nice restaurant dining experience, this place is far from it. I ate there last night with a party of 8. Is it large? Yes. Should a restaurant of their size and reputation be able to handle it? Also yes. In short, they could not. First, we were sat at a patchwork table right next to the door, where they allow people waiting for tables to congregate and hold the door open. It was freezing, and I am not one to complain about the cold. Second, hot entrees from the kitchen were the first food item to arrive. These were followed by the one hot app we ordered, and then all of the various sushi bar dishes spread apart between 5 and 20 minutes. I have worked in restaurants and the fact that the kitchens could not communicate with each other, let alone cook the ticket in order (apps first, then entrees) was frankly appalling. It's not hard. Next comes the food, I am currently sitting on the toilet with my 3rd bout of diarrhea of the day. The sushi was extremely bland, the fish had relatively little flavor, and shortcuts were taken at every turn. Almost every roll is filled with crab salad or spicy tuna. This is grocery store type of sushi, with fancy garnishes on top. All Sapa cares about is aesthetics. The only reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 is the miso soup and fried jalapeño things were rather tasty. Overall, this is truly one of the worst restaurants in Salt Lake city. You couldn't drag me back kicking and screaming.
