Shinobi Sushi has been our go‑to sushi spot since the day they opened four years ago, and they’ve only gotten better with time. Ken, the owner and sushi chef, is nothing short of exceptional. His craftsmanship, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what he does show in every single dish that comes across the counter.
The sashimi here is very delicious, ultra‑fresh, clean, and consistently high quality. You can taste the difference immediately. Knowing that they fly in their fish fresh makes perfect sense once you’ve had even one bite. I’ve taken multiple friends who live in NYC, California, Washington DC, and Virginia who’ve said how surprised they were in the flavor and quality of the sushi. It’s a gem in the Marmalade area and it’s totally worth the drive if you’re not nearby. I’ve eaten at Takashi and Mint as well. While they’ve been around longer and also make wonderful sushi, I really think Shinobi Sushi should be in the conversation for best sushi in Utah. Support this family-owned business!!!

Okay, this sushi was fantastic! Everything tasted really good and fresh. The Jalapeño poppers were really really hot though, we couldn’t finish them and I love spicy food!! They did not take the seeds out which I thought was common for Jalapeño poppers but maybe I’m crazy. That being said they were good. I would recommend the Mars roll. It was absolutely delicious and tasted the freshest of everything. I’d eat 2-3 of them myself. Service was really good and quick. The only downside I’d say was that the deep fried rolls we got (Vegas & Snow Crab) were kinda bland and nothing special. Or maybe that’s just my taste in sushi evolving from the simple things.

We wanted sushi as a family while we were downtown SLC. All of our favorites had 1-2 hour waits so we were on our way home when we saw Shinobi. Glad we stopped by. Delicious sushi, all very fresh and fish forward. Prompt service, nicely decorated interior, and friendly staff. We got the Samari, Shinobi Special, Winter, Spicy Hamachi,
Red Line, Playboy, and California rolls. All were pretty well executed with nice flavors, textures, and finishing sauces.

Stopped in for dinner with family. We tried the Nabeyaki udon noodles and several hand rolls including: Shinobi special, Mexi, Spicy hamachi, Phoenix, and Rainbow. I thought the mexi was the most unique hand roll with hints of cilantro. One thing I normally enjoy about sushi are the contrasting flavors and textures. I have to say that in general I found this sushi to be disappointing. The fish was fresh but when I ate each bite it seemed muted in flavor… weak in those contrasting flavors I love. The texture was not varied either but I do realize that is a strong function of the hand rolls I ordered. Atmosphere was great and service was good and friendly. Prices are on the higher side but not ridiculous.

Food was good, but the fish quality was on the lower end compared to similarly priced sushi in the city.
You’re paying Sapa , Tsunami, Tekashi prices for middle tier fish, a less high end atmosphere, and a fairly limited menu. Drink menu was even more scarce. Some okay cocktails, but barely a handful of spirit selections.
That said, the service was excellent and fast. I will be coming back for the occasional beer and mussel shooter appetizer since it’s a close proximity to me. My only downside, again, is that for the price, you can get better just a few blocks away.

This is the cutest little place! I’m always hesitant to go somewhere new in Salt Lake because of the parking situation. Went here on a Friday night & there was plenty of free parking, which I appreciated. The front door is located in the back, which was very confusing. I ended up walking around the whole building before figuring this out. I ordered a cosmopolitan drink. It was delicious & beautiful in design as well. We ordered the seaweed salad & edamame to share. Seaweed salad was pretty good, the sesseme oil was strong in this dish, but not overbearing. The edamame was really dry when we received it. It was also the last thing brought to our table, after our main course food. Which also seemed a little odd. My friend is gluten free so she ordered the avocado roll, Tekka roll, & Sake Maki roll. All three rolls seemed very simple & she really enjoyed them. I ordered the simple veggie roll, which was exactly as it sounds, very simple. Not my favorite, but it was okay. I also ordered the Shinobi veggie roll & I was in love with this roll!! It has tempura pumpkin wrapped in soy paper topped with fresh avocado. Highly recommend this vegetarian roll! My friend was not able to try it because of the tempura. I love that they have a few veggie rolls separate on their menu from all the other rolls. It made it easy to figure out which rolls I could eat. Staff was great & very attentive. I would definitely go back & do recommend for your next sushi outing!

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The sushi chefs and server were so friendly and extremely attentive. Pre-bussing happened literally as soon as I finished a plate. The sushi was the most fresh flavor I have experienced in the area, and the presentation was so awesome! I drove 1.5 hours to get here and will be returning here regularly! Thank you Shinobi for becoming my new #1 Sushi spot in the SLC area!

We loved it! Food was delicious. I got the veg udon and my husband got chicken hibachi and a spicy tuna roll. Slightly small roll for the price and slightly small hibachi portion compared to the heaping portions we are used to at other places. Staff was wonderful. Kid friendly
