Best Japanese Restaurants in Sugarhouse

We brought four friends here who are from out of town and they were fascinated. Everything we ordered (two sushi rolls, steak, sukiyaki, poke don, tempura, miso, teriyaki chicken, sake) was amazing. We sat at one of the cool authentic booths there where you take off your shoes to sit. The waitress burned her hand on the sukiyaki as she was delivering it, and it spilled on one of our shoes. She was so apologetic and tried to clean it but it will need a more thorough washing. But we were more concerned about her hand because it was very, very hot. If you're going for the first time, the sukiyaki (we like the beef) is unreal. We also like the mai zuru and geisha rolls. Such a great meal and great experience for the price.

First of all…. We didn’t go for the “value” we went because this place is great, has great food, is fun to go to and the service has always been exceptional!! Last night Sky was our server and she was beyond great. Some of the small critical issues, while dining, that bug me were tended to and she listened so our service was awesome!! We had 4 different guests and 4 different dinners. Enchiladas, Pesto Pasta, Salmon and Stroganoff. We were all very pleased with our meals. Each couple shared a salad and the portions were surprisingly nicely sized. The grilled pear salad was exceptional and the pears were warm!! Delicious!! We all shared a Butter Cake for desert and was also very suited for the evening. Our friends had Espresso Martinis that they wish they could have had another but also needed to drive home. I enjoyed a Latte and my date had just a cup of coffee which Sky said she brewed a fresh pot of coffee as they had not yet served any!! Good job Sky! We’re liking The Cliff more and more each time we go!!

This is the second time I’ve brought my family here and we love it! The staff is very friendly, the ambiance is great and the food is fantastic!!

The best experience we have ever had. My Dad had an amazing birthday dinner.

First visit to aker since opening in August. We had a great experience and the food was outstanding. Too many plates to try. We had a combination of small plates and shared the Chilean Sea Bass. Adelyn was great addition to our experience along with the rest of the staff. You can’t go wrong with an evening out at aker!
