It is a damn shame.
There is a place called Azuka near Shopko that has all you can eat for $16, but the quality is not good at all. There are a few OK rolls if you know what to order.
Benihana in SLC has the best all-you-can-eat deal. $26 per person. The chefs are all Japanese; one has worked there for 21 years. Top quality sushi.
If you are ever in Vegas, check out "The Sushi Club" out in Henderson. Archaea goes there every Friday and we are insanely jealous. Excellent quality and variety for only $19 per person.

What in general is good to order? I tried some of the regular rolls at Sushi-Ya and I was very impressed with the spicy tuna roll. I thought the tuna portions were fairly generous.
Sushi Express is excellent. It's a total dive looking place in a strip mall by a gas station. The fish is fresh and the prices are reasonable (no all-you-can-eat, though). I enjoyed the staff, too, which was mostly Japanese as far as I can tell. The original sushi chef is classically trained.
