The food was Amazing! Probably my new most favorite place for sushi. The reasoning behind the ⭐️⭐️ Is simply bc of the poor service we received before and even when we were seated. Before we came in we called in to make reservations and were told they don’t allow reservations to be made so we didn’t really care so we went in and made our reservations and waited. While the hostess was seating us I had asked that we be put on a bigger table bc we like to order all our sushi all at once and a couple entrees. He rolled his eyes and told us we can sit at the table next to the smaller table which was the same size. We then asked if we can just sit at the open booth table where he told us it was “being saved for another reservation...”. Mind you he (the same person from on the phone) just told us you can’t make reservations so my husband called him out on the lie and sure enough he rolled his eyes again and told us we can be seated at the booth. I decided I would time our service just for the fun of it and it took 6 min to be greeted by Javier. At first everything was great but then after we received our food we didn’t see Javier for 21 min. We had to flag down another waitress to refill our waters for the first time and to also get us some sauces. He finally came and we requested for more sauce. We wanted to order more sushi but when he came to give us our sauces he quickly left our table before allowing us to even order again. So we waited another 9 min waiting for him even tried flagging him down. But it just seemed as if he was avoiding our table. Anyways.. by the time he came we decided we would not be ordering more food and would just leave. Funniest part is he charged us for the small tiny bowl of sauce 😂. Even though the food was amazing I’m not even sure if we even want to go back or just order take out. All in all.. food was amazing. Service Just wasn’t the best. ALSO, the booth next to the one we were told that had reservations freed up while we were eating. Seats just the same amount was never occupied. We were there until closing and no one was seated there. So props to the...

Though service is slow, it is also personable and polite. I found my server of good humor and knowledgeable of the food, as if he himself ate it.

The interior is urban modern with only the slightest touch of Asian. Seating is a mix of booths and booths with chairs. Music is tropical Caribbean and completely removes you from the mountains of Salt Lake City. In this environment, it is too easy to imagine myself on the beaches, having fresh caught fish turned into sushi.

And talking sushi, the sushi was DELICIOUS on the first bite and worth the wait. When ordering, scan the table for a menu that comes up on your smart phone, in honor of current COVID standard of contactless ordering. (I much prefer this to the many restaurants printing and throwing away paper needlessly. Why spend money on printing and paper costs, let alone add to the mess that is our country, when you can go digital, like the modern people we are?) I ordered the P.D. and the Jenny.

The P.D. (see images) was a mix of both tangy and sweet flavors, bursting on the pallette with a touch of savory in the back. Somewhere in each bite is also a tad bit of spice but not enough to disrupt the decent combination of flavor between salmon and mango. While the flavor is not consistent with each bite, it is still good enough to come back.

If not satiated after the P.D., I encourage you to try the Jenny, served currently with a choice of king or ivory salmon. I chose the traditional salmon as I found the ivory a tad too buttery in flavor for my taste. Don't let my pallet stop you from exploring, though, because it was still delicious as sashimi- which is how I tasted it.

Sadly, I give this experience 4 stars and not the 5 it so easily would have deserved had I not had to send back my tea twice just to get a hot cup of tea. (Arrived cool in a warm cup first, then warmer but not "hot tea" until the third cup arrived.)

But, if you use that as excuse not to come and enjoy this experience, bluntly stated: you...
