Salt Lake City, UT
Siegfried's Delicatessen
Deli · Downtown
The BEST German Restaurant in the area. I love coming here every time I'm in SLC, either for the delicious food or the European market right inside (they always have the best stock of European chocolate). My favorite is the Wienerschnitzel either plain or on a sandwich, and the cold potato salad, spaetzle, and red cabbage sides are to die for.

Mr. Shabu
Asian restaurant · Downtown
Went here with some friends once for a birthday dinner and it was an amazing first hot pot experience. There's so many options, the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating, and it just tastes sooo good. The meat was definitely my favorite part of the experience.

Ombu Grill
Korean Restaurant · Ballpark
This place probably has the most options I've ever seen at a KBBQ place in Utah. The prime beef brisket was amazing and practically melts in your mouth. Some friends and I went here after a morning at Lagoon (amusement park in Farmington, UT) and it was so filling. I also liked the takoyaki and fried rice!
Ejo Korean BBQ
Permanently Closed
I haven't been here in awhile, but I remember having fun here with friends during a trip to SLC. I loved the side bar that accompanied the main all-you-can-eat experience, but I'm not sure if it's still operating the same because of COVID. Their Korean fried chicken was really good, and I remember enjoying the samgyeopsal here as well.
Cupbop - Korean BBQ
Korean restaurant · North Bonneville
Popular Korean fast food (?) chain in Utah. My favorite place to go when I want Korean food quick without committing myself to a sit-down meal. Their slogan is KBBQ in a cup (rice, japchae, choice of meat, and sauce) and it delivers. The Rock Bop (Sweet/spicy Korean fried chicken) is my current favorite here, but they have a lot of options to choose from.
Momi Donuts
Permanently Closed
They make mochi donuts, mochi bars, and have a nice tea selection too! After these I feel like I can never go back to regular donuts. My favorite was the matcha flavor, but I also highly recommend strawberry.
Itto Sushi
Sushi restaurant · Downtown
Been here a few times, a bit pricy and busy, but I loved everything I tried (this place converted me to takoyaki). My favorite rolls were the Firebird and Geisha.
Crown Burger
Burger Joint · Holladay
Classic fast food burger joint throughout Utah. Known for their pastrami burgers, but they have a little bit of everything. Honestly, this entry is mainly here because you can't come to Utah without trying fry sauce from a burger place.
ChickQueen
Korean Restaurant · South Salt Lake
Specialize in Korean fried chicken, but they also have a variety of other Korean chicken dishes to choose from! KFC is so mouthwatering...

Oh Mai
Vietnamese Restaurant · Downtown
Never been here, but a friend highly recommended it!
