- LLaurenUtah •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 5, 2025As a Takashi superfan, I'm pleased to say this is a very worthy sushi spot! Everything is super fresh, the hand roll concept is really fun and nice to deviate from just eating a bunch of heavily flavored rolls. The hand rolls are simple and fresh bites. Their Tokyo Cowboy roll was a major standout though, kind of a surf and turf with Wagyu beef seared on the outside...very inventive and nothing I had ever really tasted before. Shishito peppers and Bonito flakes were a perfect appetizer as well. 10/10 would eat here again!More infoHandoSake SushiPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Downtown•4.5
