Ying's Thai-Sushi — Restaurant in Sandy

My daughter has been craving sushi for what feels like months, and, I finally caved. We had always meant to try Ying's, but, never made it in. However, tonight, we finally stopped in and they absolutely didn't disappoint.

The atmosphere is inviting and quaint, yet, with a touch of elegance. The staff were super friendly the moment we went inside.

It was hard to choose from the many different dishes they had available, but, we settled on two different types of sushi rolls, pineapple rice, and stir fry with sticky rice; all of which were absolutely delicious.

At the end of our meal, we topped it off with some desserts that hit the spot, the mango sticky rice was AMAZING.

It isn't often that I find food extraordinary, but, this was just that. The food was amazing and the staff was hands-down some of the most courteous people around.

We definitely won't pass by them again, this is definitely a hidden gem.

EDIT** We had become regulars of Yings, and while their food is still amazing, their service has gone down hill with the newly hired waitress.

We waited for over an hour to get some of our food, and two hours total to get the rest. My daughter's sushi rolls took the longest and after we had gotten done eating what was given to us at first, they still hadn't brought out her tempura salmon rolls, only her dreamcatcher rolls. When I asked for her to just bring the tempura salmon rolls out to go at that point, she took another 20 minutes to bring out the WRONG one. They brought out a second batch of dreamcatcher rolls instead of my daughter's favorite. We also ordered two plates of mochi ice cream, the first plate came out quickly, while the second plate didn't come out until the wrong sushi to go order was brought out.

While we all love Yings, the service was absolutely unacceptable the last couple of times...

THIS PLACE IS A HIDDEN GEM! I can say I've never had better service and larger portions anywhere! The food was fantastic, served so quickly, and they never rushed me even though I got there 30 min before close. Wow 100% spot on perfect for everything! The mussels shooters were amazing, so flavorful, and cold taste all the individual flavors. Wow!!

The presentation for everything here ... can't describe how beyond beautiful. I eat with my eyes, so, you know It's good! The spring rolls with shrimp was AWESOME!I have had these from all over the valley, but these are hands down THE BEST. Love the mint and no vermicelli in them. Plenty of fresh, crisp lettuce and tasty sauce. Didn't even need the Sriracha, which is in shortage right now.

The green curry was super texturally pleasing, plus the spice level was immaculate at level 3 (I love it hot🔥).

I was surprised by how huge the portion of papaya salad was, I didn't have room in my belly for it.🤣 It was never soft or soggy, it was perfect and pretty and even had lettuce! Tried the Laos style, which had more fish sauce. Not bad. I like both styles, but love a good lime sauce.

Note, the real star: the Durian sticky rice. I know, Durian isn't for everyone, but this was nice! I like Durian, so it was no surprise, but the soft texture plus the thick sauce on the perfectly cooked sticky rice, and then thin sauce on top was quite awesome. I usually do Mango🥭 sticky rice but I would say the Durian was just as good!

100000 % recommend to anyone, Thai food, or sushi,...

Update for Ying's Thai Sushi: Unfortunately I was unable to try this place. I ordered a pickup order in Door Dash, and when my husband went to pick it up the place was closed. Google shows it should be open, but it's not. Very disappointed, as I've been pregnant all year and now that I'm not I was very excited to try Ying's as my first sushi place since my twins were born. I'll still give this place a try, and hopefully it'll earn some stars back from me.

When it was Tokyo Sushi: I wasn't expecting much out of this place, because I only went because my usual place isn't open for lunch. I was very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was great, the service was great, and the food was amazing. I haven't stopped thinking about it since I went last week. I got the sea weed and squid salad, the funky rainbow roll, and the playboy roll. All were absolutely delicious, and all a great price. I was going to go to Happy Sumo for my birthday dinner next month, but I'll be going to Tokyo Sushi instead. Not only is the price better, but the sushi is just as good. My mom went with me last week. She's not a fan of sushi, so she got the teriyaki chicken. She said the chicken was pretty good, but she raves about the tempura fried veggies and shrimp, saying it was cooked to perfection. I highly...
