To avoid smelling like old fish in the Salt Lake City sushi scene, a restaurant must serve up a superior product or offer something unique (or both). Sushi Groove holds its own with its roll offerings and even conjures up a creative, if not odd, twist to some items, like the groovalicious roll: shrimp tempura, strawberry and cream cheese, topped with crab, marlin, avocado, seared tuna, mango and eel sauce. Sushi Groove creates its own niche, with funky walls adorned with graffiti art that make an excellent backdrop to the live DJ on Tuesday and Friday nights. And if you’ve ever wondered how cheap PBR pairs with sushi, this is the place to find out.
