Best Sushi EVER! – We Love this place! We always sit up at the sushi bar and we are never disappointed. We try to go to other sushi restaurants, but we always end up back at Pagoda. Very good. The service does leave something to be desired, but the sushi chefs make up for what the servers lack. I would recommend this place to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Thanks Pagoda!

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!! – If I could, I would give it 0 stars! My boyfriend and I moved to the avenues a year ago and we drive past this place all the time. We decided to to try it for a date night out, I wished we would have saved the money and had a date night in. - OVERPRICED: Some of their rolls have the option of doing half a roll (4 out of 8 rolls) but they cost almost as much as a regular roll. Also, see WHERE'S THE FISH comment. - WAIT TIME FOR FOOD: It took us 30 minutes to get 3 rolls and an extra 20 minutes to g... read more

Really Disappointed – We used to go to the Pagoda regularly when living in SLC. Now that we're living away from the city, we had hoped to find it annually as a treat and tradition for the winter. We missed going for a few years and took the trip to SLC to enjoy the experience again. It was not only completely different, it was nowhere near as good. I would say it was actually really bad. We're not opposed to trying something different if it's a tasty result. Something's happened and it's not good. So much for tradition. So s... read more

Best Sushi Anywhere – We tried Pagoda for the first time tonight. And, we'll be going back for more. The sushi was the BEST ANYWHERE. And, the atmosphere was comfortable and very beautiful. Love it!

First time, future repeat customer – What can I say. My wife and I felt pampered on our anniversary tonight. After hiking Ensign Peak to watch a magnificent sunset we stopped by for a late dinner. The shrimp/vegetable tempura was light and crisp, the baha sunset sushi was delicious, and the mochi ice cream was just icing on the cake. We received excellent service from our waitress. I'll definitely be heading back for some more tempura, sushi, dessert, and to try some more dishes..

The New Pagoda Is Our New Favorite Restaurant – I have read the previous reviews saying that the new Pagoda isn't the same restaurant as it used to be...and they're right. And that's why our family now eats there at least once a week instead of once every 4-5 years! We have lived in the Avenues for over 10 years. Prior to the addition of sushi to the menu, we ate there twice--each time with friends who suggested we meet there for dinner. The atmosphere was quaint and charming. I can see why people are nostalgic for the old d... read more

Not the same resturant we grew up loving! – If you grew up loving the Pagdoda like generations of my family did, don't bother eating here. Since Fudge and Mary quit working in the resturant and have sadly passed on, the food has COMPLETELY CHANGED! No more butterfly shrimp, No more BBQ spareribs. No more Char Shu.. Very Sad.....

We know real food..n' stuff. – As being connoisseurs of all things holy, Server was prompt yet awkward however stimulating... with conversation. Presentation of sushi roll's were fairly poor, and less than desirable. Although, Baja Sunset Roll was immaculate and delectable, slightly orgasmic, and fresh. Maguro sashimi, was flaky and dried out, to that of a 90 year old woman's....... hands. It was overly fishy, like my ex girl friends....................Fish tank. We had a beer, which made this experience much more pleasant. ... read more

A Rising Star in SLC Japanese Cuisine – I've been around eating at Japanese Places for over 25 years in the Salty City, and until just the other day did not like eating here. The previous older menu items were very disappointing to me, but obviously not everybody thought so, as this place has been in business for a very long time. The other day I was in the Cucina Deli in the Avenues and overheard somebody say that Pagoda had changed, and it was really good. I went there to check it out, and he was right. This place is defin... read more
