Kyoto Japanese RestaurantJapanese restaurant · $$$ · Sugar House
Open since 1984 and still the city's benchmark for straight-ahead traditional Japanese. Quiet tatami rooms, a koi pond out back, and a sushi bar that has been feeding the same families for forty years. Order the agedashi tofu and let the ch

Sushi by Bou$$$$ · Downtown, inside the Peery Hotel
You get in through a bookcase in the Peery Hotel and sit at a counter for a timed omakase. Twelve courses on the signature run, seventeen if you go for the Bou Reserve. It is theatrical and it is genuinely good fish, which is a rarer combin
Salt Lake's first real hand roll bar. Warm rice, crisp nori, fish that arrives in your hand seconds after it is cut. Cheaper and faster than the omakase counters, and the late crowd from the theaters ends up here. Closed Sundays.

PareaRestaurant · $$ · Ninth South
Small Greek kitchen and market on 9th South doing the cooking the big gyro shops skip. Braises, dips, spanakopita with real layers. Lunch and early dinner only, closed Sunday and Monday, so plan around it.

The Other Place RestaurantGreek restaurant · $$ · Downtown, Broadway
A Greek diner in the oldest sense. Breakfast all day, a Greek salad locals argue is the best in the state, and lamb dishes that show up alongside pancakes on the same menu without apology. Vinyl booths, fast coffee, no pretense.
Counter-service gyros and souvlaki plates done properly, with tzatziki that tastes like someone actually made it that morning. Weekday lunch is the move. Nothing about the room is charming, which is part of the appeal.

Moochie's CheesesteaksCheesesteak restaurant · $ · Central City
A Philly transplant opened this and the meatball sub and the cheesesteak have been the argument-enders in Salt Lake ever since. Cramped, loud, cash-quick. Order the meatball if you only get one.

Lucky 13Bar & grill · $$ · Ballpark, Granary District
House-made buns, absurdly large burgers, and a kitchen that runs until 2 a.m. every night. It is 21 and up, which keeps it a locals room. If you are getting off stage hungry at midnight this is where you go.
