Sushi places in Utah
So I've tried Sushi YA in Provo, Sushi Express in Sandy, and Happy Sumo in Provo. Happy Sumo was by far the most commercial, but still decent. Sushi YA is far and pretty cheap (decent hand rolls for $5-$6). Anybody have any other places to recommend?

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.

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. |

We took our Japanese friends to Sushi-Ya right at the beginning of the poor-quality period. There was a japanese girl waiting the table that night and she told them (in Japanese) "This place really sucks. The sushi is awful. Don't ever go where they don't have a Japanese chef." (Etc.). She didn't know that I speak Japanese, too. It was kind of funny. The best nigiri for the price (that I know of) is the Benihana sushi bar in SLC. Good variety and big slices.

Do you know why Sushi-Ya suddenly turned south? Change in staff?

A couple blocks north of the University Mall in Orem. On state street.
I haven't been there for quite a while. I wasn't terribly impressed but we have some friends that like it. We need to give it another try.

No, it is the same people. I suspect that they are just trying to squeeze out more profit. Personally, I would rather they raised the prices and maintained the quality.
