I highly recommend having the ceviche is really good! I also tried the Saltado Nikkei. It had some sweet taste, the meat was very soft and tasty.

First things first, it was clear that our server didn’t really know what they were doing. They were very nice, but didn’t know how to pronounce poke, didn’t bring us a second bowl for our edamame pods, and weren’t sure where to find the dishes we ordered on the menu. That said, the food was great. The spicy garlic edamame was the second best that I’ve ever had (a bit spicier and a bit less garlicky than #1). The poke roll was very yummy, I felt like that scene in ratatouille where he eats the strawberry and cheese at the same time. The crunchy tuna roll was great but some pieces were better than others; it was a bit inconsistent. And the acevichado roll was good but I didn’t like it quite as much as the other things we ordered.

A cool sushi place with a Peruvian twist. It has both japanese and Peruvian style food. Nice atmosphere with clean tables and fast service. The sushi itself was quite good. Compared to other places, the sushi was less of a blast your mouth with flavor style and more of a quality of ingredients style. You could tell everything was fresh. Reasonable prices as well. It was a good experience and is definitely go back.

This place is amazing!!! We got three different sushi rolls and weren’t expecting to finish all of them, but it all was so good we ended up eating everything! The Acevichado roll was my favorite! We also tried the purple corn juice and I really liked that! The service was very very good and I could tell they really cared about helping us have a great experience. They did a really good job at bringing their culture to this restaurant. I am usually not a seafood lover but I would definitely come back here, it was a very good experience. :)

This place just opened three days ago. It’s very clean and located in a great spot. The staff were very kind and helpful with menu suggestions. I had the sashimi combo and it was absolutely delicious. The cuts of fish were so fresh and the price was amazing!!! The ambiance is perfect for a date night. The booth tables had cute candles which I thought was a nice touch. We will definitely be back.

I had the pleasure of dining at Misty Maki a couple of times this last week. It was a newer Sushi location in Pleasant Grove, so I was excited to try it. It did not disappoint! The rolls were incredible. Of the 3 to 4 that I tried, my favorite was the Lady in Red. I also tried some of their dinner dishes, most notably the Yakisoba, which was delicious. The service was agreat. Yadira served me on each of my visits, and she was personable, knowledgeable, accomodating, and very kind. The restaurant sported an upscale atmosphere. All of the furniture was new, in great condition, and comfortable. If you like sushi, give this place a try - you won't regret it.
