Kabuki Japanese Sushi & Hibachi Grill

About
461 N Main St  - map it!

Kabuki is located on main street where a Chinese restaurant used to be. They are a hibachi grill, specializing in chefs who put on a little entertainment and conversation while they cook your food on a grill. There is also a sushi bar and several booths surrounding the hibachi grills. There is sometimes a wait, as this place is a popular weekend spot and only hibachi grill in Logan. The food is executed well, but aside from the hibachi grill, which tends to be a little pricey compared to most, but bear in mind this place uses the best ingredients and it is the only hibachi within miles.

Gyoza - not worth it. For a couple bucks more, you can get 50+ of these in a bag at the Korean store.

Russian Roulette Roll - amazing! Could be a bit spicier, but then again I love spicy.

If you plan on doing hibachi, call in and make a reservation, these fill up quick and have a long wait!

Kabuki offers basically two groups of food, hibachi and sushi. If you're a fan of neither, there is a small selection of udon and yakisoba (noodle dishes), and "kitchen entrees" where you'll find tonkatsu (pounded and panko fried cutlets) and teriyaki, which both come with miso soup and steamed rice. The sushi menu covers all the basics and features some creative rolls, a good variety for both beginners and sushi lovers.

Pork Tonkatsu - good, wish I had less pork and more veggies.

Shrimp Tonkatsu - also good.

Price Range - $8-$35
The "kitchen entrees" are very filling and moderately priced. The sushi is very fairly priced and they definitely don't skimp there. Lots of fresh fish and thickly cut slices on the rolls. The hibachi grill tends to be a little pricey compared to most hibachi grills, but the quality of the ingredients are phenomenal; NY strip, filet mignon, and lobster for hibachi? This place is doing hibachi right.

Chicken Teriyaki - okay, but got sick of it halfway through. Doesn't come with veggies.

Verdict - 4 stars
I've eaten at tons of hibachi grills, and while Kabuki is the new kid on the block (and our hostess didn't know what or how to say hibachi- forgivable, it was her first day), they are certainly very detail oriented and meticulous about their food. If they could lower their hibachi grill prices by a teensy bit and put a little more effort into their other entrees, this place is certain to become a permanent hotspot in Logan. I'd definitely go back for the sushi, though.

Happy Sushi

About
20 W 400 N - map it!

Happy Sushi is located in a tiny, gray building in downtown Logan. Hubs and I were a bit hesitant our first time there, but we know some of the best gems can be in the most unlikeliest of places. Repeatedly one of the highest reviewed sushi restaurants in Logan, Happy Sushi is a clean, tastefully decorated sushi joint that rarely disappoints and always delivers on the freshest fish in Cache Valley.

Happy Sushi offers a variety of Japanese classics such as teriyaki, katsu, tempura, donburi, and udon, but its specialty lies in sushi. It boasts a large variety (and I mean a large variety- its menu rivals some of the more expensive sushi places in SLC) of nigiri, sushi rolls, and sashimi options. Everything is meticulously made and delicious.

Price Range - $10-$15
The prices are pretty fair for sushi and the bento boxes are a good deal. Happy Sushi is always fresh and you don't have to worry about sketchy sushi with cheap cuts and questionable shelf life. Nigiri is a little pricey, the rolls are delicious and filling, and the lunch specials and non-sushi entrees are the dishes to order to get the most bang for your buck. Hubs usually orders a dinner box or an entree and we share 2 rolls (1 if we got an appetizer), and I get a bunch of different nigiri. It usually runs us about $50 (incl. tip) a night out, but I love sushi, and when we go I splurge a little.

Verdict - 4.7 stars
Happy Sushi is a great place for a sushi fix and higher quality than a lot of sushi joints I've eaten at. They have a certain appetizer made with halves of jalapenos stuffed with minced tuna, deep fried with tempura and topped with this amazing teriyaki sauce (or is it eel sauce?) and finished with nori. I can't for the life of me remember the name, and it's going to bug me forever. If you don't know what to get as an appetizer and don't mind a little spicy, I highly recommend that.
