The best sushi in Utah! They are typically very busy and do not take reservations on the weekends but it’s worth a trip if you’re a sushi lover. Ask for the sushi cupcakes from the hidden menu!

In Utah, people generally are chatty, friendly and like to be acknowledged. Saying hi to a stranger in a store or asking how someone’s day is going is not uncommon.

When ordering French Fries ask for Fry Sauce
Fry sauce is just better than ketchup and each restaurant typically has their own “brand.” Fry sauce is a very Utah thing.
