Sabaku Sushi in Moab - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Good sushi and exciting combinations of flavors.

Great sushi, friendly staff and good vibe. Without a doubt the best place we ate in Moab. Wish we’d found it the first night we’d arrived.

Bestest Everest!!!!! thanks to a staff that runs like a well oiled machine. three locals

Superb sushi choices and delicious drinks too. Even though place was hopping, servers worked together to make sure we received drinks and food when we expected. Best rolls ever, and the Southwest edamame was unique and delicious were excellent!

It was very okay, it’s expensive for okay sushi just eat at home bruh

Some of the best sushi I've had! This is a hidden secret. The service was phenomenal and the sushi chef handled my multiple life threatening allergies with care and helped to create safe rolls. The fish was so fresh. Definitely worth the visit if you are in the Moab area!

This place is amazing, the staff is friendly, the atmosphere is great and the food the chefs make is incredible. Loved how fresh everything was. We tried the chefs choice roll, where the chef creates something for you and we couldn't be happier. The chefs roll is the one on the larger plate with sauces. We also liked that the chefs take pride in the rolls and take their time making them, if you are looking for something quick this would be the place. I will definitely be going back before leaving Moab.

What business does sushi this good have in Moab of all places? Big city grade cuisine. Just get the freestyle roll and let the chef do whatever they want. You’ll be amazed.

Waited to get a call for our table, after 45 minutes and our party being next to be sat, we get a call that they were closing for the night.

This is the best sushi restaurant in all of Utah - maybe even the best I have ever had anywhere! The restaurant is a small space on a side street, just off Main Street. They take reservations for half the restaurant and walk-ins for the rest - mind you there are only about 12 tables plus the sushi bar. The hostess and server (owner's right hand she said) were excellent! We ordered the Wagyu Tataki which was presented beautifully and tasted amazing! We also ordered 5 rolls- White Rim (my fav), Castleton, Sunshine (2nd fav), Surf & Turf, and Delicate Arch. The fish was so fresh and melted in your mouth! The flavor combinations where perfect! I highly recommend this place! It was pricey, but well worth it!

Pricy and not authentic. Sushi rice not even cooked right. Had to wait more than 20 minutes between dishes. Not recommended!

Fantastic Sushi Location In Moab Utah … Beautifully Executed Dinner !!! Perfection in service and taste of food … Meal was made with LOVE ! Thanks …

We dined at Sabaku Sushi on our last visit to Moab, and tried to order take-out this trip, but the kitchen was too busy to fill the order which I guess is a good thing for the restaurant. We loved our meal on the last visit, which was why we came back, maybe next time. With all that being said, I would highly recommend this restaurant. The sushi is excellent.

Best sushi I have ever had. We travel all over and this place is by far the best! So fresh. If u could eat here everyday I would.

Gluten-free heaven! The sushi was awesome, and so was the house salad with the ginger dressing.

Great Sushi and if you sit at the bar you can watch the Sushi Chefs prepare the food. Excellent vibe also, with many locals eating there when we were there. It was busy, so make a reservation if you can.

Food and service are steller! Absolutely phenomenal, everytime! Do your self a favor and try their delicate arch roll and miso cod! 🤤 Love that they have a thoughtful mocktail menu too! Truly Moab’s best dinning experience! Thanks for being awesome, Sabauku! 💛💛💛💛💛

We sat at the bar area. We shared several types of sushi. Shrimp tempura was light and crispy. The sauce and rice were really flavorful. Hubby got the maguro nigiri, and he said it was just OK. The fiery furnace was great! The panko crunchies on the outside added great flavor and texture. We ended up ordering a second order of it. The eddie out roll was good, but ended up being too hot for me to finish, so I picked the serrano pepper out of it.

Really tasty and well presented food.

Called Thursday April 4, 2024 for a takeout order. They told me “no, they are too busy”. First time I’d ever heard a restaurant say they wouldn’t take an order.

Very good except rice a bit undercooked and dry.

I never thought I would eat sushi in the desert, but Sabaku Sushi is great! Even my friends that come from New York City have to give this place props! You'll find your normal sushi rolls (California roll) and even some unique ones like a surf and turf that occasionally includes elk or venison. The staff is always friendly, even though the place is usually packed (especially during happy hour). Many of the sushi rolls have names inspired by the surrounding area such as the La Sal roll (named for the La Sal Mountains), the Rainbow Bridge roll (for the arch in Lake Powell), the Hidden Valley roll (after a popular hike just south of Moab in Spanish Valley), and the Delicate Arch roll (after the famous Arch that has become an icon for not just Moab, but all of Utah). They have delicious desserts too! Tempura bananas or oreos, mochi, dessert rolls, or even flourless chocolate cake.

A Moab Fav! Will not disappoint. Sushi is the desert….YES! Always delicious and friendly service. We look forward to Sabaku every trip!

Amazing vegan options! Had the eddie out, moonflower and mango. It’s so refreshing to have a sushi restaurant have creative options! 11/10 would recommend!

Great staff!! Excellent food!!! Our go-to place in Moab :)

Rarely order sushi in a mountain town but took a chance and was rewarded with really fresh sushi. Service was excellent and kind. Very friendly. Had one roll with a shisedo pepper in it that was wayyy too hot ( happens occasionally) and was in a mouthful distress! Waitress went to get me some vanilla ice cream ( no charge) to ease my suffering. Now that is service!!

Beautiful Sushi Heaven in Moab !!! Large vegetarian collection and amazing taste. Highly recommended !!!

Still my favorite rolls in all my travels. They're chefs are artists.

Best sushi anywhere. Fresh daily.

Love this spot - the sushi was so good and fresh and our server was so funny! This is our new spot for date night.

Great food, good vibe and friendly service! Excellent vegan options and easy to do gluten free. Super nice and friendly staff, and absolutely incredible food! Loved the vibe of this restaurant and would recommend to anyone looking for creative flavors and great atmosphere!

Best sushi spot in town. Great food, quick service, cool atmosphere. The place is kinda small though and can get packed fast.

The best meal out I've had in ages! The miso cod special was incredible. Service was really friendly too.

Such good sushi! A place I would return to in a heartbeat.

We arrived late and they were low on some types of fish so we let the staff choose our rolls and it was awesome. Atmosphere, food, drinks, service — all excellent. I would put it up against any sushi restaurant in America.

Food was Amazing!!! When you first step in you will notice this isn't your average sushi house. They have music playing and all the people making sushi are bearded white guys. But don't let this deter you! Me and my wife agree that this place had the best sushi that ether of us has ever eaten. We set right at the bar which was a great experience due to getting to watch them make everything and as the place calmed down towards closing getting to talk and ask them there suggestions on what to order for our second round of food. It had been a long day of travel so we were both very hungry and together we shared 2 of the specials they had (oysters & swordfish) along with 6 different rolls (Poison spider, spicy scallop, surf & turf, sunshine & 2 different orders of chef choice). Everything was delicious. Overall this is a place everyone tourists or local should grab a bite to eat as you won't be disappointed.

Holy rice vinegar Batman! There was so much vinegar put in the rice, it caused the rice to lose stickiness & crumble apart. It made eating the sushi rolls difficult. In addition, it made the rice taste, well, vinegar-y. That said, the service was excellent. Worth a visit if you fancy sashimi. Maybe avoid anything with rice...

This place was great as a tourist and a local. -food- was phenomenal they gave their own twist on many sushi roll classics and other menu items it was full of flavor and creativity. -service was a little lack luster. I understand that they were busy at the time we went however, there must have been a mix up because we didn't get our app until over an hour and then all our other rolls were staggered even though everything was ordered all at once. So again great place it's just a little rough on timing there were people that came well after us that got rolls and other items way before we did. The atmosphere- was super cute, cozy, warm, and eclectic. Great little sushi place tucked away in the desert.

This place serves edible art, with real fresh fish and the soft shell crab is to die for!

Been there twice,the first time food was out of this world, however the second time was extremely underwhelming and bland.

Anyway, it's too late. I waited for 55 minutes before I got the main menu. The tastes were acceptable. But I recommend improving the taste of Wasabi. It breaks the total taste. It is different from Japanese Wasabi, Of course it's OK, but it's also different from Wasabi that is served by the other Sushi restaurants in the US.

Delicious food and great vibes. Huge selection and amazing vegan options.

Excellent sushi, great service awesome experience. We will absolutely return!

House Salad was really overpriced for the size, maybe 8 pieces of lettuce (and the dressing was oddly spicy) for $7, prices of basic sushi rolls were high and the seaweed wrap portion of the roll seemed stale. Only ordered one roll and will try somewhere else.

Had high hopes, but ultimately left underwhelmed. House limeade was lacking in flavor and specialty rolls tasted like nothing more than classic rolls with a higher price tag.

Great food, but a little spendy. High quality, well made sushi. A dinner for three of rolls and an appetizer set us back $220 with trip.

Amazing, best gluten free options I have ever ever seen. Beats sushi in Las Vegas. I had complete confidence in ordering safely. Everything was delicious, fresh, and I loved the creative ambiance and menu options.

Decent sushi but be aware of an 18 percent gratuity for take out orders 😬

The fish is so fresh! Great service, I recommend sitting at the sushi bar!

Excellent sushi, great beverages. Pretty busy and we waited quite a while for a table but it was worth it. Service was very good.

Fish was just ok, prices were a little higher than usual, and the wait time at dinner took an hour from ordering to receiving food. The space is small and conversations echo.

Great atmosphere Cool young hip Sushi chefs And great Wait staff Definitely a Gem In Moab

C est toujours agréable de manger japonais quand on est à l étranger. En général on n'est pas déçu

This was a great experience here. Food and drinks are AMAZING. Sushi is deliciously fresh and the special rolls were unique and delicious. Highly recommend the poison spider roll, it was the best sushi roll I’ve ever had. All the added details such as thinly sliced lemon, different dressings, sauces, etc were very special and really made this 5/5 stars. Our reservation was postponed by 20 minutes but that was no problem as the staff called us and let us know as soon as they could. If you have one meal it Moab, let it be this one. Recommend a reservation as the place is small and busy!

Incredible maki rolls and cocktails. Friendly staff.

Some of the best vegan sushi I've ever had.

Excellent sushi, and roll presentation. Fish and ingredients were high quality and combined inventively and beautifully.

Good service and amazing sushi. Fish was very fresh and there were a good selection of rolls. The Colorado roll was very spicy.

Wow! What an amazing find in Moab. Fresh sushi prepared to perfection. Amazing service and delicious drinks.

Food took a while to come out although it might be because it was near closing but food was generally tasty and service was good, so tough to judge a sushi place in Moab harshly. Wish the rolls were a bit bigger and more fish with the chirashi but again, definitely good for a place located in Moab. Will recommend!

Was skeptical when I walked in and didn’t see Asian sushi chefs….but the sushi was AMAZING! I ordered the castleton, sunshine and spider rolls, plus salmon and unagi nigiri. Everything was amazing! The staff was friendly and attentive. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Unique fusion rolls! Great sushi and staff. Went twice in 3 days in town.

Our group decided to let the waiter order for us. She was amazing and so was the food. You can't go wrong with anything in that place. Highly recommend if you are a sushi lover.

Good sushi but terrible service, took 2 hours to receive our food. Placed a reservation before they opened and got served after they closed.

Great sushi with a LOT of variety. Waiters are awesome. If you have patience the food sushi will be good. A lot of gluten free options Also get the oreo tempura it's delicious. Just do a reservation in before coming but the biggest wait I've seen is a hour and a half.

Enjoyed the food and the staff.

I live costal in San Diego so finding a good fresh sushi spot inland can be challenging. The portions are smaller than I anticipated for the price but it was all good.

We waited like 20 min for each dish we ordered. Totally a simple sushi roll meal took us more than 2h. Pricy sushi considering it's portion too. We each spent 50+ but still hungry. Btw, be aware they also charge 18% tips for take out :)

food was great, service was great, could be a nice atmosphere but it got really loud in there, literally could not hear my wife speak to me and she was sitting right next to me

This place is kind of like a hole in the wall. I heard about it a couple years ago and tried it out. It seemed like they were just starting out so they weren't very organized and I didn't give them the benefit of the doubt. I was referred by one of the chefs about how good it was. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the sushi 🍣 was compared to other sushi restaurants within the area. Chef's choice is definitely the funnest and that is what I order every single time now. It's always a surprise what they're gonna make and each Sue chef makes different types of rolls so it's always a bit of an adventure.

GREAT service, super cool atmosphere, AMAZING sushi. Great music. Thanks for having such a welcoming place with delicious food!

I never write reviews but this place shocks me with the number of stars. The hostess was rude and we went in to place our order at 5:15. The place opens at 5. She said she needs to ask if they can do a takeout order. Post 35 minutes I’m there to pick up my order and the hostess is not coming to the front desk. I see this waitress with name Andi and I asked her to help check on our takeout order. She refused and was very rude and said they must be working on it. We are here at Moab for national parks and it’s so sad to have experiences like this at the end of the day

This place is truly great. We had the smoked squid salad which was delicious. The ceviche was fresh with a delicate seasoning of lime, cilantro and what I believe were Serrano peppers. We got the white rim and Castleton rolls and everything was just super delicious. Great service and music to top it all off.

On a chef’s choice item, dude went full Joe Rogan and threw elk meat on. They’re going for it here.

Great quality and service, unique rolls, best restaurant we've found in Moab.

Buon sushi a Moab. Tanta varietà, abbinamenti ben azzeccati. Ottimo servizio e camerieri gentili. Buone birre locali.

One of the BEST restaurants in Moab hands down. Excellent

Great team, fantastic food, wonderful experience!

Didn't think we'd be eating sushi in Utah, but Sabaku Sushi is a homerun! Smoked squid and seaweed, tuna roll, Hamachi, eel and octopus sushi! DELICIOUS! If you come through here, STOP!

Good vibe, drinks and food. A little ow service but didn’t mind as the Air Conditioning was high on a hot day!

Fantastic sushi. Great service!

Great sushi restaurant! We ate here while staying a few days in Moab and based on reviews, decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. My husband and I and our 3 kids ate here. We really enjoyed our dinner and they also had fantastic cocktails. I would recommend reservations even though we did not have them but we felt lucky to get in as it’s a small restaurant. Really good service too.

10 dollar for one salmon hand roll. This place is more expensive than NYC

Sushi was okay but price is high given the small portion, should mark as $$$, don’t think worth the money

Seems like alot of people love this place, but if you have frequented alot of sushi restaurants in big cities then this place is just average. The fish was fresh, but we had to wait 40 minutes for our food alone. Service is lackluster. To make things worse, they served the people next to us first. Maybe they were regulars...

Amazing sushi experience. Very innovative presentation. Amazing knife work evident! Fun delicious southwestern twists along with top-notch examples of staples. Restaurant would be stand out in any sushi-centric city and is a required destination for sushi fans in Utah. Every guide or local who we encountered and trusted to ask for recommendations mentioned it.

Sushi?! In the middle of the desert! Why yes, some of the best I've ever had. Excellent food and dining experience! As recommended I made reservations and I'm glad I did. The interior is small and intimate, a little dark but clean and welcoming. What makes them stand out? Sabaku flies in fresh fish several times a week. I mean, this stuff is FRESH. And absolutely delicious! We started out with hot Gekkeikan traditional sake ($10.00 for an 8 oz.) that was fantastic. We began our meal with House Salads (mixed greens, tomato, cucumber, carrots + house made ginger dressing, $6.00). The dressing was awesome, you'll love it if you like ginger! I wish I could take some home with me. For rolls, I chose a classic Philly Roll (salmon, avocado, red onion + cream cheese and topped with sesame seeds, $12.00). This was probably the best Philly Roll I have yet to eat. There was just the right amount of cream cheese, and the salmon was so smooth and soft like butter. My husband went for a specialty roll, the Poison Spider (fried soft shell crab, spicy mayo, cucumber + avocado topped with scallops, lemon and sriracha, $18.00). It was beautifully set. I admit the crab claws at the ends were a tad intimidating but it added to the presentation. I helped myself to a couple bites and agreed it was remarkable! I highly recommend stopping in here for fantastic, high quality food for a decent price. I will be back for more!

If you are in the Hispanic race I would not in courage you to eat here. My family and I ate here yesterday and we have never felt so out of place and so neglected in our lives. This place is full of racism. All I have to say is shame on them we are all human and were not asking for a hand out we bought our food no need for this.

Really decent sushi in this area! This place is very popular so good to reserve in advance, but they also provided bar seats. The sashimi is very fresh and sushi is very delicious.

These guys are sushi artists. The attention to detail is astounding and the flavors are perfect. Really interesting find in the middle of the desert. Reservations recommended, and some time. Not a fast meal as they really make art.

An absolutely amazing sushi experience in the middle of the desert. My food didn't last long enough to post a picture. I recommend a seat at the sushi bar to watch the artistry.

My favorite place to eat in Moab! The sushi chefs pay the closest attention to detail and you can taste the care they put into the art! Love this place!

Like the plate says... Delicious

Service was terrible. We waited an hour plus for 4 sushi rolls. Waitress was not apologetic and instead said that “sushi is very tedious”. When we asked to get two appetizers (that came out an hour late) comped, we only got 50% off of those two appetizers. Sushi was good but nothing to write home about. Felt bad for the sushi chefs and they apologized but manager and waitress never communicated or gave us an accurate wait time.

Low key, high key some of the best sushi I’ve ever had…

Sushi was at least 4 stars. But waiting almost 2hrs for 3 rolls, plus a rude drink waitress does NOT equal $120 dinner.

The sushi was very good, but service was non existent. Once we were seated it took 18 minutes for us to get water, and another 20 for our drinks. We were forgotten about. Would've rather gone to pasta Jay's 😕

The place was full which is a good sign but the hostess was very rude. She was working on her iPAD for 5 min without raising her head. When she was done she rolled her eyes and said they are fully booked.

4-star for the quality of food in light of the location and decent level of creativity out into the menu. 2-star for the long wait from appetizer to small plate to main entire rolls despite a handful of men working behind counter. 0-star for frosty service by 3-4 waitresses, at least one of them is inefficient and clueless and another one stone cold and angry. Wasn't too much fun people watching when every face around is hungry
