Takashi - Review - Downtown - Salt Lake City - The Infatuation

Takashi makes the best Japanese food in SLC. They excel in creative sushi rolls, with multiple Beatles-themed options like the escolar and chili pepper-filled Strawberry Fields, or the yellowtail and yuzu-infused tobiko Yellow Submarine. There are no reservations for small groups, and you’ll rarely (read: never) find a night where a crowd isn’t waiting when the doors open at 5:30pm. Enjoy your first round of Japanese whiskey cocktails and some apps at the restaurant’s lauded Post Office Place bar while you wait for a table. - Jenny Willden
