Happy Sumo Restaurant in Utah

It's 2:43 a.m. and I got bored so I figured that I'd come out of retirement and post on my blog. A couple of weeks ago we went to the Happy Sumo Restaruant in the Provo / Orem area and I fell in love with their food!

Until the Happy Sumo Restaurant I had only had Sushi once before in my life and it was at a terrible Chinese Buffet. That was about 6 years ago! My brother in law kept telling me us that we needed to go check out the Happy Sumo Restaurant in Provo. So when he called a couple of Friday's ago to meet down there we jumped on the opportunity. That was one of my better decisions in life!

The Happy Sumo Restaurant has 3 current locations and a fourth coming soon! Happy Sumo is based out of Colorado and The Happy Sumo Restaurant currently has 2 locations in Utah. The Salt Lake City Happy Sumo is located in the Gateway Mall. The Provo Happy Sumo is located in the Riverwoods.

Anyway we met my brother in law and his wife at the Happy Sumo in Provo and we absolutely loved the food. I ordered 2 Vegas Rolls and he then me and him split a Utah Roll. I believe that my wife ordered the Thai Peanut Stir Fry.

The Vegas Roll is made out of Salmon, Crab, Avocado and Cream Cheese. It is tempura dipped and topped with their Sumo Sauce and Eel Sauce. It rocked! You might ask what is tempura dipped?? I think that it means that it is fried. Anyway whatever they do to it is great! Maybe a true sushi connoisseur wouldn't consider it sushi but who cares because it tasted great!!

The Utah Sushi Roll consisted of Crab, Avocado and Tuna rolled in Flying Fish Eggs and was a little more fishy tasting! But still tasted great!

Anyway my new goal over the next 2 years is to try all of the Sushi Rolls at The Happy Sumo! Maybe by then I will be a true Sushi Connoiseur!
