Top 5 favorite Utah restuarants.

Can't really say I have a top 5...but here's some sort of a list. I've always wanted to organize these...

Best Italian:Stoneground
Best Chinese: Little World (ehh, the problem with this place is MSG though. I need a new chinese place)
Best Tibetan..?: Shambrala
Best Indian: Aroma (there's another place in Sandy that's better but I can't remember the name)
Best Burger:Three Forks Cafe
Best Pho: Green Papaya
Best Pizza: The Pie
Best Sushi: Benihana (Get the 2 for $26 deal)
Best mid-budget chain: Smash Burger (Chicken and veggie only though, don't think the beef is as good)
Runners up:Habit Burger, Cafe Rio
Best late late night: Denny's (need a better place though, ****ing hate IHOP, Vilage Inn, and Dee's)

EDIT: Best Thai: Thai Siam
 
You want great Chinese? Try Szechwan Express on 5400 S. 3200 W. in Taylorsville. It is in a strip mall of all places but it is the best, freshest Chinese food ever. Their Kung Pow Chicken and Chicken in Orange Sauce is amazing!!
 
Tiburon is cool but the food is too eccentric for my tastes. I do like the fake accents the waiters try to pull off though. Good stuff.

Off the top of my head I'd say Brick Oven, Pie, Training Table.

Corbins up in Layton prolly the best. Oh and there's a place in Park City (Prime Restaurant?).

That's way too west from where I am. Anything around the University and Murray after State Str. is game with me.
 
Good place I ate at today - Baja Catina in Park City. First try so I can't put in my favorites yet, but the flautas were incredible. Seemed like a fairly priced place too.
 
I don't know if anyone is interested, but I went through this thread and the burger thread, googled all the restaurants, and compiled a list of ones I need to check out. These are ones which (a) I haven't been to before, (b) ones in areas I'm likely to be at (basically near my house, near my folks' house, and near downtown), and (c) ones which had a high score on google. Obviously a lot of great places are likely excluded from one or more of those qualifications. Where multiple people recommended the same restaurant, I indicated that with e.g. "x2".

Agreed. They had some stands at RES in 2011 and they were my game meal during the season. I was incredibly bummed last season when they weren't at the stadium last year. A traditional with cheese whiz, peppers, and onions is heaven on a bun. Who doesn't enjoy a little messy DP?

This is usually our go-to Park City place. We feel it's the best value in the area.
