Best Japanese Restaurants in Salt Lake City

We brought four friends here who are from out of town and they were fascinated. Everything we ordered (two sushi rolls, steak, sukiyaki, poke don, tempura, miso, teriyaki chicken, sake) was amazing. We sat at one of the cool authentic booths there where you take off your shoes to sit. The waitress burned her hand on the sukiyaki as she was delivering it, and it spilled on one of our shoes. She was so apologetic and tried to clean it but it will need a more thorough washing. But we were more concerned about her hand because it was very, very hot. If you're going for the first time, the sukiyaki (we like the beef) is unreal. We also like the mai zuru and geisha rolls. Such a great meal and great experience for the price.

The sushi rolls were very good. We didn't branch out to other menu items but they looked really good when we saw them going to other tables.

Usually when a restaurant offers a wide variety of styles, including sushi and steak, they do well at neither. Blind dog has done an amazing job of spreading out the excellence by dividing it - the sushi is created at a sushi bar by people dedicated to the task, and the steak and other fresh stuff is done in a different kitchen. Either way, the ingredients are invariably awesome. I have gone to blind dog probably 20 times in the last 5 years and every time I go there it's an incredibly comfortable, tasty experience. It ain't cheap, but it's worth it for the blend of top notch food and great service.

Eddie is the best server and the food was amazing!

The best experience we have ever had. My Dad had an amazing birthday dinner.
