Ginza Japanese Cuisine & Sushi |

(Restaurants - Japanese) |

DOWNTOWN. This chic restaurant is a popular lunchtime destination for people who work downtown. Find a place at the sleek, L-shaped bar, and enjoy a bowl of miso and Ginza's colorful sushi and sashimi. If you're feeling bold, break away from standard tempura or teriyaki dishes and sample the special sukiyaki (a mix of sliced beef, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and cabbage in a sweet broth). |

Ichiban Sushi |
|
(Restaurants - Japanese) |
|
336 S 400 East, Salt Lake City 84111-2905 • 801-532-7522 |
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. Ichiban started off as a popular Park City sushi joint but has since moved to the cozy confines of this converted Lutheran church. Indeed, the rolls here are divine, and there are few restaurants in the downtown area that can boast such a cosmopolitan feel – beautiful stained-glass windows and the quintessential vaulted ceiling juxtaposed with Japanese-themed murals, fish tanks, and contemporary furniture. The menu features an even mix of tempura, teriyaki, and sukiyaki dishes, but the star attraction is the aptly named Rainbow Platter, a combination of crab, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and fresh vegetables. Reservations are not accepted. |

Jasmine China Bistro & Sushi Bar |
|
(Restaurants - Japanese) |
|
4810 S Highland Cir, Salt Lake City 84117-6002 • 801-278-6688 |
|
|
| |
Description:
HOLLADAY. One of SLC's best deals, this casual Asian eatery offers both a traditional Chinese menu and an attractive sushi bar. Start your meal off with one of their lettuce wraps or an order of fried shrimp; then, move on to something more substantial, like Peking duck, orange-peel beef, eggplant, or Kung Pao shrimp. Since most dishes are served family-style, it's best to come with a group. |

Kyoto |
|
(Restaurants - Japanese) |

1080 E 1300 South, Salt Lake City 84105 • 801-487-3525 |
|
|
| |
Description:
SOUTH SALT LAKE CITY. One of Salt Lake City's favorite Japanese restaurants, Kyoto embraces diners with its simple yet cozy decor and pleasant atmosphere. Lunchtime business folks flock here in droves to sample the delicious (and reasonable) sushi and tempura specials and to benefit from quick, efficient service. At dinner, things tend to be less frenzied, and patrons gather in tatami rooms to enjoy shrimp or steak tempura, salmon teriyaki, or sukiyaki. |

|
|
| |
Description:
COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS. The specialty at this contemporary Asian eatery is sushi, and rumor has it that the chefs make some of the area's best rolls. Even so, Mikado serves a lot more than just sushi, and dinner entrees range from pan-seared ahi tuna to mountain trout with shiitake mushrooms in oyster sauce to the Emperor's own tiger prawns with vegetable tempura. Large parties may request the private dining room, which features rice paper walls and Japanese artwork. |

Shogun Restaurant |
|
(Restaurants - Japanese) |
|
321 S Main St, Salt Lake City 84111-2702 • 801-364-7142 |
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. Shogun makes a good case for serving some of the area's best sushi. A young, trendy crowd floods in daily, eager for a "quick fix" of Shogun's delightful soft-shelled crab roll or a nigiri sushi combo. Less adventurous diners are happy to see standard teriyaki, tempura, and sukiyaki dishes available. For added privacy, larger groups can reserve their own tatami room – just remember to leave your shoes at the door. |
