Sushi-Ya

I’ve been going to Sushi Ya for about five years now. Never had a bad experience. Sure, sometimes they get busy and the service slows down, but that’s any restaurant on a busy night.
My personal favorites are the Hurricane and Spicy California rolls. The former for the special (dynamite? Can’t remember) sauce they put on top, and the latter for spicing up the basic California roll with a good kick. I love the Vegas, too, but that much deep fried sushi puts me to sleep pretty fast.
Sushi Ya isn’t the highest end sushi place you can go to, but if you’re looking for some affordable sushi in the Provo/​Orem area you can’t go wrong with them.

So the all-​you-​can-​eat is kind of iffy, and here’s why:
The rolls are packed with rice. Like twice as much as they need, at least. So you’re never making your money’s worth with it, because the amount of fish (the only expensive bit) is so minimal per roll that by the time you get close your stomach will resemble a pot of rice.
The fish isn’t the best either. All in all it’s an average place in a town with sub-​optimal sushi choices.

Not impressed. Rolls are bigger than other places and they do have all you can eat, which is nice. They’ve messed up our order a few times, they were nice about it though. I also wasn’t super impressed with the rolls they offered. They also fell apart pretty easily.

Some of the worst sushi I have had, not a single good roll, and most rolls had that really chewy seaweed if you’ve ever experienced that. Also poor service water wasn’t refilled once and we were there over an hour.

Love the Orange Julius roll!
We always sit at the bar when we go, but recently we’ve encountered quite the communication barrier with the workers behind the bar. They don’t seem to know the menu too well.

This place was so bad… disappointed, sushi wasn’t good at all, the service was awful.

The last place I worked, my office loved to come here. First time (and last) I went my soup spoon had lipstick on it. Same with my glass. Yuck.

I have a severe allergy to any type of shellfish, but dare to venture into sushi places. Sushi-​Ya did not disappoint! I didn’t have to worry about cross-​contamination and our rolls were delicious (although don’t ask me what I ordered, I don’t remember!). The restaurant was dimly lit and quiet. The only thing I dislike is that if you order the all you can eat sushi you have to pay for what you don’t eat. I understand not wasting, but that’s just silly. So, if you get the all you can eat sushi make sure you are very hungry! Otherwise I’d advise paying for individual rolls.

Sucks! A ton of rice, the chewiest mussels i have ever tried to eat. Ask for miso soup never got it. Bathrooms unclean that was my first mistake should have walked out then. Shame on me. I travel the US and Canada for the past 30 years and this place is plain ass Sorry. All you people that rave about this place have no taste.

The selection of quality sushi restaurants in Utah County has always been disappointing. Sushi Ya is okay, but it isn’t great. 99% of their rolls are tempura fried which makes you feel quite sick after having a few. The tempura is nice and flakey and has a good crunch and consistency. The service leaves much to be desired, with the waitress only coming to the table several times each time I’m there, even if I’m here for an hour. I’d recommend Sushi Ya as something on the cheaper side that’s going to get you full and do the job.

Very rarely do I give 5 stars! But I love this sushi place, now mind you, I am not a fan of fish eggs, or raw fish, the salmon is the only one I will eat not cooked, but this place never disappoints and I’ve eaten there LOTS! If you’re looking for authentic sushi, this may not be the place for you!

I have been there for the all-​you-​can-​eat lunch. I am not a sushi aficionado, so I prefer sushi with crab and/​or shrimp tempura, and I like tempura style rolls.
If you are really hungry then go to the all-​you-​can eat. Though at $ 30 for two people, you can get enough buying by the roll. You tell the waitress you want the all you can eat and then mark the rolls you want, from the A & B category (add C category for the $ 20 dinner option). We had three rounds of sushi, as we tried to only order what we knew we would finish and not have a huge smattering of rolls in front of us from the get-​go. Each round of rolls, seemed to take a little longer to be served than the last. If that is intentional, it would bother me and encourage me to get more food upfront over spacing it out. The rolls have a healthy portion of rice in them, which goes to getting what you pay for. There is also a sheet that says rules of the all you can eat are you must eat all the rice. My only disappointment were that there were only a few rolls that interested us, wanting more shrimp & crab options and there was only one roll that is tempura style, where the roll itself is fried. As far as sushi goes, it’s an ok place. As far as sushi goes in Utah, and for all you can eat, it’s a good place to go.
Go here is you are hungry and need a sushi fix. Don’t skip over the B menu items. I like the cooked scallop (a piece of scallop over rice).
Find out what sushi rolls you like and pile up on those when you return.

Not that impressed. Water tastes weird and the sushi is sub par. For anyone who hasn’t had real sushi, I guess this place will do. Annie Barry

Mediocre at best. I have been to this place a lot of times and it takes forever to bring your order. You can wait for 40 minutes for your first plate of sushi and another 40 minutes for your next. It almost feel like they do it this way so you don’t have time to stay their and eat.

I love the sushi here! You really can’t find a lot of good sushi places these days, but these guys have really nailed it.

This place always does well. Looks like a total hole in the wall, but when you go inside, the interior is actually really cool and perfect for an intimate sushi date night. The services is pretty good, but slow if you are not at the bar. This is common though at sushi places, so I typically sit at the bar unless I’m going to sushi with a larger group. The rollers keep them tight and full. If you like a tempura roll, their Godzilla is the best tempura I’ve had around! The AYCE is a great deal here, especially at lunch time.

My favorite sushi place. Great sushi, great price, pretty good service may of the time. Sometimes it gets slow. Saturdays are the day to call ahead and make a reservation, if they even take reservations, because it gets BUSY :) make sure you go hungry because it’s all you can eat. But you can also just but a roll or 2.
Rolls I would recommend

Godzilla
49er’s

Enjoy.

Don’t judge me, but I think sushi Ya could be one of the greatest sushi restaurants in Utah County.
People always rant and rave about Happy Sumo, but it isn’t anything special. You have your standard rolls and your standard various plate options, but nothing out of the ordinary. Sushi Ya goes above and beyond, and if you’re really hungry, you can get all you can eat.
There are so many unique rolls here, that I never even have to order the same role twice. some of the roles they have on the menu cannot be found in very many sushi restaurants anywhere.
One of the only reasons I’m giving this restaurant for stars, is because of the service. If you aren’t sitting at the bar, you are often slow to be served by the waitress, and you often have to wait quite a long time between drink refills.
However, that being said, if you sit at the bar they will feed you so fast you won’t even know what to do with yourself. Be sure to Tip your sushi chefs because they do a fantastic job. Try getting an upside down shrimp if you can. Also, the Godzilla roll and the Playboy roll there are some of the best I’ve had. I have also tried a few of their bento boxes, and they do not disappoint.
If this restaurant to stop at service a little bit, I could deathly make it into the five-​star region. It is a little diving inside, but that’s not what I’m there for.
For the price, the all-​you-​can-​eat sushi deal is by far the best value around. If I were to go to Happy Sumo and order the same amount of food that I do it sushi Ya, I would end up leaving their having spent nearly a hundred dollars.
Be adventurous, try the all-​you-​can-​eat sushi restaurant you have driven past many times but never given the chance.

Every time I’ve eaten at Sushi-​Ya, I’ve gotten horribly sick. The atmosphere is meh and the servers, save for one who quit, are subpar.
I’ve witnessed unsavory things happening like chefs and wait staff sneezing or coughing and not washing their hands. Or using the bathroom and not washing their hands. It doesn’t feel like a clean place.
I’ve only been here twice but I will not return.

I have revisited this place a few times since my last review and felt like they don’t deserve 4 star anymore. I’ve noticed that your first couple rolls they will do a pretty good fish to rice proportion, but as you get to your 4^th and 5ths they will pack you down with rice and the fish slices gradually get thinner and thinner. The quality of their sushi is lacking so you will have to stuff your face to make that $ 20 worth. From my experience, 45 minutes or so of sushi pleasure isn’t worth 5 hours of agony from overeating.
No more all you can eat sushi for me for a long time. my jeans are getting tight. Eek!
