Wow, this place was super crowded and festive, seems like there was a huge party was going on and everyone there was invited. Everything was so colorful and delicious! It is actually a pretty cool place even when you first enter the place (you had to walk down the stairs to get to the first floor lol) Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Utah and crave some authentic Mexican food.

Brazilian Steakhouse/Buffet (all you can eat) at it’s best. Ton of choices at the salad bar (if you are not careful, you will get full just from the salad bar lol so watch yourself!) It is a little pricey but it was worth it (even if it was just all you can salad bar…maybe lol) Located inside a mall so you can shop/walk around a HUGE meal.

I was with my battle buddies from LA and apparently they put the Hoisin Sauce and Siracha into the broth. Kind of cool seeing the different culture of Nor(th) and So(uth) California. We put the sauce in a saucer/spoon and dip/grab it from there. Pho was quick and delicious like it should be. 
Not surprised that they have more than one location.

Kind of like Buffalo Wild Wings meet BJ, kind of? I like how they have a beer flight (all bar should have that). I have to say the ribs tasted the best (instead of their wings lol not that it was not good, just that the ribs was awesome).

I can see why people that are not from SF or the Bay Area get confused on which Asian food and which lol. This ‘Chinese’ restaurant have a HUGE menu. Smh. It even has sushi! Wtf lol. I was laughing so hard inside and finally understood why people ask for sushi or teriyaki chicken at my parents’ CHINESE restaurant. I always thought they were just ignorant lol.

Can’t believe there is a legit Korean restaurant (and a Korean BBQ) in Utah! This was back in 2012 so I am pretty sure there are a ton now lol especially with the Korean wave. There was Korean news on TV and it really felt like I was in Korea. Pretty huge place too and we were the only one that was sitting instead lol (early dinner at 4pm)

Came here for a midnight snack thinking was another fast food joint. But it was acutally a pretty good Mexican spot. Definitely better than Chipotle lol. They had a sauce bar which was surprisingly. Delicious and cheap

Little Italian bakery kind of in the middle of no where lol. If my friend (who is a local) did not tell me about this place and told me to try it, I would have missed it. First time trying a cannoli and it tasted better than what I imagine ^^. Wish my instagram skills were a little better back then so I can take better photos (of the bakery too lol).

Thought I should be healthy and got a crispy buffalo chicken wrap lol. It was delicious. Didn’t even had to use the ranches since the sauce on the wings/chicken was more than enough.

Great place to enjoy sushi outdoors with your buddies. Sushi roll options are more toward the deep fried and saucier side (very Americanized lol). Order some shooters or sashimi to cleanse your palate
