I made a reservation for 7:00 for a Homecoming dinner, and they were really packed! I didn’t mind waiting because it just showed me how popular this place is. We ended up waiting about 47 minutes to get seated, but once we did, it was definitely worth it. We really liked our cook! He was funny, interactive, and even let me do the egg toss in the air, which made my night. My date and the whole group loved it, and we were already talking about coming back soon. I would definitely recommend Sakura! I ended up paying $87 for two people, which I thought was a really good price for the experience we had. Overall, we had a great time and made some really fun memories for Homecoming!

This was an excellent restaurant. The wagyu beef was on point and the service was 5⭐️ all the way. It was a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavors. Loved every bite.

Our first time dining at Killa, and it was absolutely phenomenal! In my opinion, it’s easily one of the top restaurants in Salt Lake City. Our table of four enjoyed every single dish. The recommendations were fantastic, and each dish was thoughtfully explained, which made the experience even more special. The Peruvian-Japanese fusion was incredible, with so much creativity and flavor in every bite. The cocktails were an experience in themselves, arriving with an unforgettable presentation of moon, smoke, and bubbles! The service was wonderful, the pacing was perfect, and we never had to wait long for our food. As a lovely finishing touch, we were treated to complimentary desserts, which were absolutely delicious. An exceptional experience from start to finish. Killa exceeded our expectations, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

The food was wonderful and fun to share plates that were all gluten free. I’m still thinking about the fried chicken.

You should go to Benihana’s once every 60 to 90 days. Last night was probably the best meal we had there.
