One of the best sushi establishments in Utah, Tsunami now has three locations. The third and newest location, in the river bottoms at 106th south, in South Jordan, just opened, and I figured that would give me a good excuse to put up a review. The other two locations are Sugarhouse (their original [...]

Have you ever had real Mexican food? I don’t mean taqueria style, like Betos or Gualbertos, nor do I mean any of the popular Americanized chains like Chevy’s, and I definitely don’t mean Taco Bell, The Taco Maker, Del Taco, or any other similar abomination. I mean real home-style Mexican food.

There is an incredible variety of selections on their six page menu. Although I have by no means tried them all, [...]

While dining at a delicious, but unnamed here, Chinese restaurant, Jason approached the waitress to find out if there was anywhere in the county to get Dim Sum. She said no. There is not. A minute later, she returned and motioned us closer so she could tell us of Four Seasons Hotpot and Dumplings in [...]

Gloria and Mauro Bonfanti, both native Italians, have created something truly special at Gloria’s Little Italy. Gloria’s is both a market and a trattoria. Because they are a market, they directly import quite a bit of Italian staples. Meats such as prosciutto, speck, and various other salumi, as well as several wonderful [...]
