If you have not been to Island Grinds..you need to get there! Food is DELICIOUS! Portions are made to satisfy, shop is very clean and customer service, welcoming. Wait time was not long at all. I had the 2 meat mix plate with rice & max salad..kids had Katsu chicken & they gave it thumbs up. The only thing that was missing was a cold cup of Otai I was just way too excited to get home to dig in that it slipped my mind ..Next time for sure! Thank you Island Grinds West Valley for the wonderful hospitality! We’ll be back soon.

My man's work friend bought us lunch yesterday at Island Grinds. This was our first time trying this place and it was amazing!The cascade of flavors...I can't.We started off with the sushi burrito then moved on to the chicken pupu (poo-poo) and chicken katsu. It's white rice, macaroni pasta salad and air-fried chicken.The sushi burrito alone was delicious. Then you throw in the sauce for the rice-delectable! The macaroni pasta salad ups the ante. By the time you get to the chicken... Forget about it!I am so happy we got to try this place and thankful for our friend buying us lunch.It even makes great leftovers!10/10 recommend

travel for work and visit SLC once a month, and I always make sure to stop by this spot. This time, I ordered the seameat mix, garlic shrimp, and lemon pepper chicken, which came with mac salad and rice. The garlic sauce was delicious, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked—it was the first thing I finished! The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Honestly, the price is a steal for the quality of food. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Last week I actually just flew in from Dallas. Looked up their restaurant & called to see if they would be able to serve me. The girl who answered yes and told her I was on my way. For that I’m grateful, they were able to serve me as they were closing & cleaning up. My food was sooooo ‘ONO! And my hubby was happy with his plate too. Food was fresh and portions was a great size! I’m definitely returning whenever I’m back in Utah. Mahalo Island Grindz!!

My Uncle & Aunty took my Dad & I along to experience Island Grinds when we were visiting back in May/June this year.Wow! Blew my mind… everything tasted like it was prepared with love & I left there (with my leftovers because the portion sizes are so so decent) feeling like I had an experience & not just a feed.I can’t wait to come back and experience Island Grinds again!Oh I recommend everything lolBut I will go weak at the knees for the ribs! ;)

Best Hawaiian restaurant we've been to in Utah so far. We're from the Bay area where there are plenty of Hawaiian BBQ places, but we have to say this place had the most delicious dishes and cooked fresh and tender just how we like it. Even the macaroni salad tasted better than a few other Hawaiian restaurants nearby. The price is also better than Mo Bettahs and the other Hawaiian restaurants we went to in Utah. Lastly, the Poly music they played on their boombox was awesome . We’ll come here everytime we visit.
