Hayai Zushi is Utah’s (and maybe the planet’s) first drive-thru sushi emporium. You can also find Hayai Zushi at Dan’s and Dick’s supermarkets, but there you’ll need to get out of the car. Hayai Zushi is a brainchild of Peggi Whiting and her business partner, Keith Guevara.
You might recall that Peggi was chef/owner of the original Ichiban Sushi in Park City and then, Salt Lake City. Now, Whiting specializes in prepackaged sushi for folks on-the-fly. Most of the Hayai Zushi rolls come as four pieces for $2.99 or eight for $5.99. The roll options include California, eel, Mars, Funky, Jazz, and so on. There’s actually very little raw fish available at Hayai Zushi, the Spicy Tuna roll being one of the few such items. In addition to sushi, there are rice bowls, salads and bento boxes available at Hayai Zushi, along with steamed or pan-fried potstickers.
