First of all, the miso was the best I’ve ever had. The chef was telling me about some of the special additions he puts in it. Totally hits the mark! I tried one of their special sauces, the pickled Wasabi. WOW! Not only potent, but very flavorful as well. I’ll be ordering that again for sure. I was really impressed with both the guys working here. I ate at the bar, and both guys were really down to earth, kind, and informative. Easy to talk with. Totally laid back and relaxing vibe. For the hand rolls i ordered the 3 piece. The salmon lacked a little flavor – pretty plain, but nothing that a little of their superb sauces couldn’t fix. The blue crab had the distinct and wonderful flavor that I grew up loving from fresh blue claw. I was happy that it wasn’t drowned out by the rice or nori. A definite do over. The last roll was the spicy tuna. I’ve never had spicy tuna like this before. It was very spicy, clearly from the large pieces of what I think were dried red pepper. This was not your usual smooth spicy tuna. It was textured with a bit of a crunch. I really liked it. In the end this was a very unique sushi experience. I am definitely recommending this place for any sushi lover. I will be back for sure, and the next time I’m bring friends to introduce to this little gem of a restaurant.

So so glad we tried this place. The food was fantastic, the restaurant is so cute inside and the owner was so sweet and attentive. I had been dying for Salt Lake to get a hand roll bar and this place definitely delivered. This place is a must try for sushi lovers. Also, don’t sleep on the banana fritter, it was next level!!!
Absolute MUST TRY:
Toro hand roll, scallop hand roll, spicy tuna crunch (not traditional spicy tuna, more like fresh big pieces of tuna with the most amazing chili garlic crunch), and obviously the banana fritter

BEST OF THE BEST HANDROLLS in Utah! Everything is so high quality and so fresh, they even had live lobster and soft shell crab! The pickled wasabi is a game changer. They also have a ton of cooked handrolls as well for anyone who’s a little unsure about sushi and raw fish. Couldn’t recommend these guys more. The spicy tuna CLEARS, can’t wait to come back again and order extra.

Super fresh and delicious. I ordered 4 hand rolls and got mine to-go, and I wish I knew what each hand roll was and which dipping sauce went with each by the time I was able to eat them. It was a guessing game, but was really delicious.

Tonkotsu Sushi Hand Roll Bar feels like a hidden gem straight out of NYC or LA. It instantly reminded me of Kazunori in Marina Del Rey, with market-fresh fish and perfectly done rice. Each hand roll was so good I couldn’t wait for the next. David, the owner, makes the experience even better with his passion and hospitality. He also has his own spin on the spicy tuna…fire!!! Easily one of the best sushi spots in SLC.

Great hand rolls at a reasonable price! We happened to find this place while searching for new raw fish restaurant in the area. We were blown away by the service and specifically the spicy tuna hand roll – one of the best hand rolls we’ve ever had (and we come from Los Angeles).
My only note back when I originally wrote the review was that it would be great if they served alcohol – and now they do!
It’s a great find!

Sooo good! This is not your typical Americanized sushi joint.
These are simple hand rolls that allow the flavors of the fish to shine.
From the first bite of the crunchy seaweed until the final bite of the roll, you can taste fish throughout and still finish with crunchy seaweed.
Although all of the hand rolls are fresh and delicious, my favorite has to be the scallop, spicy tuna, and the Toro paired with the delicious kizami wasabi (real wasabi mixed with soy) is spectacular.
I would highly recommend trying this place out ASAP. It just opened so it’s nice with no wait, but once word gets out this place will get slammed and you’ll wish you had came sooner

My favorite handrolls ever. Love that the “spicy” doesn’t mean spicy mayo but a chili crunch! Everything is always amazing. It’s the best and so affordable

Amazing sushi hand roll experience. Went with the 5 hand roll selection and was not disappointed. My favorite hand roll was the spicy tuna, I’ve never had such tasty spicy tuna like I did there. Not only is the food amazing but the service is phenomenal. I’ll definitely be back!
