Yuki Arashi Park City Restaurant Review

We went to Yuki Arashi in Park City on a Sunday afternoon to use another one of our Groupons. For $30, we got $60 of food to order. Yuki Arashi’s cuisine consists of Asian tapas, sushi, sashimi maki and bento boxes.  From their lunch menu we ordered the Gyoza (8.95), pan-fried house made pork and cabbage dumplings with soy chili dipping sauce; Tempura ($12.95), a mix of vegetables, shrimp and eel; Teriyaki Beef Bento Box ($12.95) which comes with miso soup, salad, rice and tempura vegetables; two of their Special Maki-Sushi: The Seoul Roll ($15.95) which is ahi and albacore tuna, rolled with avocado and sriracha, tempura fried; and the (more…)

Park City Restaurant Review – Blue Iguana

This time we used our Groupon at the Blue Iguana Restaurant in Park City for lunch. It being the off-season, the restaurant was not very crowded on a Thursday afternoon and we were promptly seated by the waiter. The bus boy (not sure what else to call him, but for some reason “bus boy” doesn’t seem right) came to our table right after we were seated and gave us a basket of tortilla chips and bowl of salsa.

Cafe Trang Park City Restaurant Review

Cafe Trang in Park City offered a $10 Groupon for $20 worth of food so we decided to give it a try. We arrived at the restaurant on a Friday about 6pm. There were only 3 tables occupied which seemed kind of odd to me for a Friday at dinnertime, but summer is the slow season for Park City. Cafe Trang is also located away from the busier Park City Main Street area which may also be a reason for less customers.

Anyway, we were greeted and seated promptly. The menu is huge, several (more…)

Jupiter Bowl in Park City Not Your Average Bowling Alley

Groovy Jupiter Bowl Lanes

On a hot afternoon, we decided it would be a good time to use our Groupon at the Jupiter Bowl bowling alley in Park City last week to escape the heat.  We arrived around noon and were promptly taken care of by the front desk. There were only a few lanes being used and not much of a crowd at first. Our groupon for $29 included shoe rental and 2 hours of bowling for up to six people, an 18-inch New York style pizza (choice of cheese or pepperoni), a pitcher of soda and $2 in arcade tokens. Later I found out that they (more…)

Gateway Grille, Kamas Utah Restaurant Review

On another return trip from the High Uintas via Mirror Lake Highway, we decided to give the Gateway Grille in Kamas a try on a weekday afternoon for lunch.  My friend wanted a sandwich and chose the grilled chicken and swiss served on a foccacia bun. I wanted something a little more extravagant so opted for one of their specialties, sauteed prawns and feta cheese with tomatoes and (more…)
