Takashi

Takashi sits at 18 W Market St in downtown Salt Lake City, where it has built a reputation that draws sushi devotees from across the valley. The fish is the point here: nigiri, sashimi, and rolls handled with precision, plus an omakase path for diners who want the kitchen to lead.

Beyond the sushi bar, the kitchen menu covers cooked plates, and a dedicated gluten free menu keeps the whole table covered. Drinks get equal care, with a strong beer selection, wine, tea, and cocktails.

The room fills fast at dinner, and lunch reservations are accepted on a limited basis by phone. Solo seats at the bar move quicker than tables, which suits the counter dining the food deserves.

Takeout is available for nights at home, and the space is wheelchair accessible from entrance to seating. For a Market Street evening in Salt Lake City, this is the anchor booking.
