A unique and wonderful experience. Don’t be dissuaded by the storefront appearance or the clutter on the inside.As you enter, the owner/chef/host will greet and seat you. He then asks what you want to order through a serious of questions. The “menu” (think cafe rio with meat/entree options) is printed on the wall but you won’t need it. He will just ask for your protein preferences and then list off many side options. He then creates an extremely creative meal that’s absolutely packed with flavor.Better even than the food was the hospitality. Some reviewers were taken aback by his east coast personality, but he truly is a kind man who cares about his customers. He went above and beyond in his conversation with us. He also has some cool books with currency from across the world, signed by former customers.It is on the pricier side ($55+tip for 2) but you can certainly tell him you want a cheaper option and he’ll figure something out.

We went here for my husbands birthday. It was no big deal just somewhere to eat after a long hike. We had no idea this would be such an incredible experience! The Chef is a literal master. He cooks you anything you want and it is all so healthy and delicious. He will also give you tastes of whatever else he has cooking. It’s like you’re in the kitchen with him. His ingredients are the most fresh as he grows all his food right outside his restaurant. We got huge yummy portions and he dipped some chocolate covered strawberries for us. He also sat and talked to us about where to locally source our food, since it feels like the grocery store prices have gone up and the food is getting worse. He showed us his garden and explained how to get our own soil ready. He picked all kinds of veggies and just gave them to us. I felt totally edified after our visit. The chef is also such a good guy. Many people walked into his restaurant, including a police officer and he gave them snacks and drinks just to be nice. He sent me recipes and told us to come back when he had too many crops. I honestly feel that we didn’t pay enough for that experience.

Amazing food! Very unique experience not knowing the price or menu in general. You basically tell the owner what your want and he makes a dish for you. Cant wait to go back!

My mom wanted seafood today for her birthday. I had heard about this place a bunch of times in our neighborhood FB page, but first time going and man Chef Hai did not disappoint! They have an amazing selection of fresh seafood and veggies. We got different variations of stir fries, pasta and salad with delicious fish, prawns, shrimp and chicken. Everything was amazing! We will definitely be back and my parents said this was the best restaurant they have been to in a very long time!

The food is always awesome! Fresh, high-quality and great flavors. The experience is different than a normal restaurant but so worth getting a little outside your comfort zone. The Chef is wonderful and very knowledgeable about his craft. You wont be disappointed as long as you just let him take care of you the way he like. Prices are very reasonable for what you get.

What an incredible place. Pick your meat and then be surprised. The fish we had was cooked to perfection, seasonal sides were delicious. Service was great. Very friendly. What a great experience.

This place is the best place to eat in Bountiful. High-quality dry-aged steaks. Vegetables grown from seeds, with farm-fresh flavor. Chef Hai doesnt have a traditional menu. You choose a protein, fish, beef, pork, lamb. or a variety of vegetarian options. He then prepares the food for you and charges very reasonable prices. Its not a traditional restaurant and that may turn some people off. But for those that value high standards of culinary perfection. This place is hard to beat. One last thing. The Chef hires individuals with some special needs. And I love supporting a business that supports those of us that need some extra help now and again. I would discount the 1-star reviews. This place is a treasure.

Unique atmosphere and attentive chef. Menu is ambiguous but it works. It’s a conversational ordering process with the chef himself. The prime rib was good and the Chilean Sea Bass was phenomenal. Can’t wait to go back and try more of his amazing creations.

Quite a quirky place with one-man running the entire business. Upon entering the location we seated ourselves and searched the location for a menu. It was a mix between a nice cafe and a specialty convenience store.It was then that the owner came out and said that he doesnt do a menu but to choose a type of protein so he knew what to make us for our meal. After telling him what we are in the mood for and which proteins suited us for the day he then listed dishes that he was making that day that suited our requirements.Using fresh vegetables that are grown on site, he then prepared our decadent lunch. If youre looking for a new dining experience and food that is creatively wonderful, then I would highly recommend this location. The only reasons that we gave this a four-star review instead of a five is because we felt it was a little pricey. On the other hand you cant find organically grown good food in a restaurant, so I suppose that the food matched the price.They really do have the best rice in Utah that we have tried thus far.

We had a wonderful lunch here today. The owner and chef was a delightful host. Our family will definitely be coming back next time we are in the Salt Lake area.Our meal was served family style for a group of five adults and five children. We had beet pasta, steaks, grilled salmon and white fish, curry with squash and mixed rice, green salad, vegetable pad thai. For dessert we had chocolate covered strawberries.

Had an amazing lunch today! The chef is top notch. I had the Chilean Seabass. What an experience! Cannot wait to go back

Tried Thymes and Seasons today. The food tasted so fresh and made to order. I was in heaven. I let Chef Hai choose a fish dish for me and it was sublime. Now I want to try everything on the menu.

If you want the best food cooked perfect then this is the place. Pick your protein(s) and soon you will be very happy and full.

This is one of those restaurants that gets you excited just thinking about it. The Food is phenomenal. Everything is so fresh and the spices come together so well. Hai the owner is so good at what he does. If you consider yourself a ‘foodie’ this is a must try. Easily one of the best kept secrets in northern Utah.

Took my husband on a date and wanted to try something new and we came across this AMAZING restaurant! The service and food were exceptional. The owner was very kind and made us feel like we were special guests. We were also able to purchase a special blend of rice to take home and some new seasonings. I highly recommend this place! We will definitely be back.

Great food!! Great hospitality!! Great prices! $34 for 2 with drinks and dessert.

This place isn’t a restaurant, it’s an experience. Hai was very friendly and had solid recommendations. The food was perfection, but the ambiance is one of a kind. Hai flies in freshly caught fish from the ocean, giving freshness that you can’t find anywhere in Utah.Art, thank you notes, spices for sale. There is a lot going on in the restaurant and it makes for a one of a kind experience.

FANTASTIC FOOD and an amazing owner!!! Enjoyed a Steak and salad there today, for lunch. Best steak and salad Ive EVER eaten!! Its MUST GO to restaurant!!

Best food Ive ever had. Really convenient if you struggle making decisions. Super friendly staff as well. I cant wait to go back again.

It was amazing. The chef came and greeted us himself and made our order by asking us a couple simple questions. Loved him, loved the place, and will definitely be back!

Chef Hai is intense and his food is well seasoned! Let him order for you.

Looking for fresh ingredients this is the place to come. Very unique place its a one-man show. He tells you whats fresh ask you if you want seafood or meat he goes from there. He makes food from over 100 different countries. There is no menu. Definitely recommend you try it out.

This is one of the most incredible places I have ever eaten. The food is fresh. He will make you anything you want. The chef/owner is a great man highly recommend.

This place is amazing. Quick service and food is delicious! The owner is lively and has much knowledge to share. The spices (which he makes himself) gave my chicken dish so much flavor. 10/10 recommend.

The best restaurant I have been to in Salt Lake. Chef Hai is a wealth of knowledge and his food is second to none. The ribeye is unbelievable.

Best restaurant and unique ambiance I have been in a long time. Super food and fun experience.

The atmosphere here is great. The menu is always different depending on the day. The ingredients are fresh and the chef comes out and take with you. The quality is fantastic and the portion sizes are amazing. Highly recommend taking the time to go and eat there if you have the opportunity.

Great dinning experience. Delicious fish & beef options with stir-fry or noodles.

Incredible food and an atmosphere that’s homey and warm. Awesome experience!!

Absolutely fantastic dining experience. Could not more highly recommend.

The food was remarkable, the atmosphere not so much.They have no menu, so you have no idea how much your order is until you pay.

If you want the best food in UT, then just shut up and drive to this restaurant!! I cant describe the first bite of steak. While you are eating and swallow it, your brain would feel full of diverse flavors. Especially, I can see the pride of chef in foods. After I eat lunch here and I drive back to eat dinner with my friend. I KNOW it sounds crazy but I never eat lunch and dinner on the same day. The foods were phenomenal!!! Thank you for your food, Utahns!! You guys are lucky AF!!!!

A little gem in bountiful. I had the BEST salmon I’ve ever had in my life. Seriously it was perfectly cooked! Chef Hai sits you down and asks what you’re in the mood for and then off he goes to make your dish and brings out a heavenly meal. Think better tasting than flemings! Chef Hai is very kind and provided such a nice atmosphere. Their homemade seasoning is amazing! The lamb was also divine. If you like good quality meat/seafood then you better stop by here soon because you will not be disappointed.

Best place to eat in Salt lake City. Cioppino soup is the best.

This spot has first-rate service and tasty menu. One of my favourite spots in the city. The meals arrived quickly and the prices are reasonable. Will definitely recommend this spot.

Holy greatness Batman. Best food. Owner is amazing and explains the food and preparation. cannot say enough great things about this place!

The chef is a very amicable man. He helped us order some delicious food. When we were leaving, we decided to buy some of their seasoning as well. The chef then shared recipes with us that used the seasoning we were buying and showed us a video on his phone about how to make a sauce using the seasoning. Very friendly service and great food.

Went to Chef Hai’s Thyme and Seasons tonight. What a great experience! This is one of the few places where I trust the Chef to make me whatever is fresh. Since it was my birthday, he didn’t disappoint. The lobster and scallops pasta was delicious, with fresh vegetables and a creamy sauce I was in heaven.If you’re in the mood for upscale food with a local atmosphere, then this is the place. Always fresh food, cooked to perfection.

Chef Hai does a great job of engaging his patrons and makes some of the most delicious food around. Ask him what hed like to make for you and you wont be disappointed with what he puts together. Amazing, fresh, delicious food.

One of the best dining experiences Ive had. I loved everything. The sea bass was out of this world. Thank you Chef Hai.

The best restaurant youve never heard of (unless you live in Davis County)

Amazing Food, Amazing Atmosphere, Excellent Owner and Chef!

Definitely a place worth stopping by, the food is fantastic and fresh, the prices are fair and it is constantly well kept here. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely amazing food with a very unique and refreshing attitude. Stop on by, sit down where you can find a spot and pour yourself water or soda.Menu on the wall, every dish served our party (we ordered prime rib steak, prime rib pho, chicken pan thai, and bbq chicken for the kids to share. Generous portions and sides. Salad was fantastic. )Hai spent some time sharing vanilla info, ended up buying Nielsen-Massey vanilla paste, vanilla powder and 2 flavored vanilla extractExcellent evening, reasonable prices.Hai seemed to know half the patrons and sat down and visited with them.Left with squash for the kids and extra Keto friendly chocolate mini cake dessert that was served on the house.Will be back as often as possible

A unique fantastic experienceThis is the best restaurant north of SLC. For $30 I got steak, lobster and a large bowl of pasta. IT WAS ALL EXCELLENT. There is a unique taste here because the owners specialize in making spices. I overheard the owner telling another table they ship their spices all over the world. You can tell they have a lot of experience. It’s very unique and very refreshing, especially when 9/10 restaurants outside of downtown SLC are chain.Fun, unique atmosphere. The owner is the real deal, strange, OCD, eccentric, interesting, kind, fascinating individual. Don’t try shaking his hand, he has a thing with germs, which I loved since he makes the food. You can’t be offended by anything though when he is sneaking you and your crying kid tiny cupcakes. He was awesome.The only restaurant I’ve been to that compares taste wise would be Valter’s in SLC. However Valter’s is 3x the price for the same meal (worth it though and can’t put a price on Valter’s hug at the end of it).

Best fish meal ever. No menu, but dont worry and read the wall. Super high quality food cooked to perfection.

They close during the day everyday for 3 hours. Never seen a business like that.

I called and asked if they made vegan pho and the guy got SOOOOO UPSET AND DEFENSIVE. Saying it’s impossible because there is no kind of fat for the broth that can be used in place of animal fat.So please tell me about all the successful pho places, owned by credible Vietnamese people that offer amazing vegan options.All you’ve done is denied a specific and growing market for your restaurant… which is totally fine. It’s another thing to get rude and defensive just because someone asks.

Must have experience. Incredible food, really unique atmosphere.

Really good food! If you’re a foodie, this place is for you. You’re greeted by the chef who asks you some simple questions and whips up a spectacular meal for you. You can also just say “meat/seafood your choice”. Highly recommend!

I have never been disappointed with any dish Ive tried here. This is an absolutely amazing restaurant with an amazing owner!

We’ve been coming here since it opened, 13 years?? We moved to Kaysville three years ago but still come back almost every weekend. Chef Hai never disappoints. His ingredients are always amazing and the finished product is more than amazing. We’ve tried about everything on the menu (actually, there isn’t a menu) but we’ve tried most of his creations.Always a unique experience, the only constant is the quality and taste of his amazing dishes.

Amazing! Chef Hai is great. Very unique restaurant. Food is fresh and delicious. Hand picked ingredients, no msg, etc... It is a must try! We will return frequently.

Gorgeous, soulful food. Huge selection of meat and seafood. Not a typical menu-based restaurant: the owner/chef had a choose our meats and then cooked a custom dish for each of us. The environment is unique and quirky, but the food is truly exceptional and like nothing Ive had in a traditional restaurant. Well be back!

Unique! Hard to describe. Almost an open kitchen. Asian inspired, but I have a feeling recipes are free to circle the globe and the mind. The store also sells ingredients. Definitely worth a visit or two

Warning Overpriced for the environment of an old seven eleven gas station. Drinking out of a plastic cup that I had to go fill myself across the room felt kinda tacky. For the price of my lobster I could’ve gone to some fancy restaurants and it would’ve been cheaper and taste much better!

Amazing food. Everything is custom made.

Excellent gluten free dining options, but no menu, since Hai, the owner, makes everything to order. The decor is stark, even drab. The BBQ ribs were ample, as is every dish, but not to my liking. We will return since everything is so fresh, g.f., and tasty.

I have no idea how this place got so many ratings. The absolute worst experience I have ever had. Called in to request an item that I feel like all Vietnamese restaurants should have. This guy named Jeff answered and completely made me feel like an idiot. Worst food service. Utah is really living up there name that’s for sure.

Absolutely amazing food. Authentic. Super friendly. Chef Hai is the best. Feels like family there.

Food was so appetizing. Ive had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. This place has a nice atmosphere.

Food was amazing! Customer service was amazing!! Definitely worth the price for the experience!!!

Excellent food.. passionately prepared. Hai really cares about the quality, goodness and taste!come hungry too...the servings are enormous.

Totally awesome experience! Food is so fresh and delicious! A must stop if you are anywhere close!!!

What an amazing and unique experience! Chef Hai not only makes delicious and fresh food, tailored to you, but helps you feel like family in his shop. A cross between New York, France and Asia. Lots of options. Fun, eclectic atmosphere. Im stuffed, but already excited to visit the next time.

Come for a little corner and meet a world of spices. Lovely experience, come for the food as well as the travel stories.

Just had the most incredible, delicious meal of my life! Chef Hai took the best care of us. The food was cooked to perfection. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!! If you haven’t been, this will be your new favorite place! Make sure to just go with the chef’s recommendation. Don’t pretend like you know better than Chef Hai 😁

Its so delicious. I had a cousin come into town and asked me to take him back here. This place has a cool feel to it.

This place was bumpin and had such an amazing vibe! Pho was really good 🙌 Had a nice home feel to it. Definitely returning and sending friends.

I was told no real restaurants have menus, and so his didn’t. I was confused by that because EVERY restaurant I’ve been to has a menu. I ordered steak and potatoes then he brought it out and the steak was 85% fat and 15% edible meat. The potatoes he kept bragging about were the only good thing I had. I am by no means a food critic and like a lot of food but this just wasn’t edible. I expected to pay maybe $40 dollars total for my girlfriend and I but the total was 63 and some change. It would’ve been awesome to know the price before I ordered, but I was assured no real upscale restaurant has menus or prices. Weird guy weird food weird system. Just didn’t work for me.

Be prepared to come back and try all their menu! We started with the best PHO 😉

So, didnt know it was a menu-free restaurant and it ended up being really really cool. He asked me what I wanted and hed cook it. Told him I wanted a muscle dish and ended up eating the best muscles Ive ever had in my life. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Thanks man!

Healthy! Wonderful flavors. Perfectly cooked fish. Delightful chatter. Not too spicy.

A quirky and delicious restaurant. The chef comes and let’s you know what’s the most fresh and then you make a choice. The food is amazing. Not a restaurant for control freaks, but a great place for those who love delicious food. The chef even gave us some recipes and told us the story of the restaurant. I definitely will be going again.

We had such a wonderful time!! Our food was delicious and the whole experience was a treasure from start to finish. I will be shouting from the rooftops to everyone I know about this place. It is that good.

Very good food

My wife and I have been visiting here for close to six years now, and love every time we get to come in and visit with Chef Hai.Some of the best meals Ive ever had the pleasure of eating in Utah have happened here.

Dont be turned away by the outward appearance. You must walk in. The smells alone will keep you there!

We are new to the area, and have absolutely fallen in love with this restaurant, and the owner. Immaculate food, and some of the friendliest people. I cant recommend this place enough. We are definitely becoming regulars here.

Such a chill environment, and way good food! The owner came by to give us some fresh brownie bites just because qnd it was awesome!

When I walked into this place, it felt a little weird, not gonna lie. There is no hostess, no menu, no music. I’m pretty sure it’s an old blockbuster and it doesn’t exactly scream “elegant steakhouse.” The chef/owner came to our table and asked us what we would like. He recommended the surf and turf. This guy is super friendly and informative. We started out with delicious, colorful salads. Then our entrees arrived quickly. HOLY COW. It was to die for! The steak was HUGE. All the steaks are seasoned with his signature blend, and topped with flavored butter...it was a phenomenal mix of flavors. The lobster was well-cooked. The entree came with vegetables, risotto, and some type of potato dish (not sure what it was but I couldn’t eat it fast enough), which were all heavenly. Don’t go into this place expecting something like Ruth’s Chris in terms of atmosphere. BUT the food will blow you away.

Been here many times over the years and had our wedding dinner here as well. Absolutely amazing food, and always has a great selection. Cannot reccomend enough!

First time I went here was in 2017 and I still love the food!

Found this place by looking around the internet for mom and pop returaunts. Boy were we in for a treat. The food was top shelf. We left with a full belly and a smile on our faces. The chef was the most personable person in a resturaunt that I think I have ever experienced. His flare for flavor was seconed to none.. We had the seafood. It was cooked perfect and the seasoning was spot on. He introduced us to foods I have never tried before. The seafood soup was amazing. We will be back to try the beef next time and for sure there will be a next time! Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

I adore this place a lot. theres a romantic spirit. The food is wonderful. the service is powerful and the team is very professional. The price is modest. deeply recommend.

Awesome!! Be prepared you will love this place. The smell alone when you enter is mouth watering.The chefs philosophy of providing his customers the best of whats in season, is remarkable. Each visit brings something new, and it is always delicious. I will come back and bring everyone I know here.

So yummy!

What an absolute wonderful 1st experience at Thyme and Seasons! From the moment we walked in and till we finished our meal, we were greeted and treated as if we had been long time customers. Hai (the owner) graciously took the time to discuss with us all the wonderful dinner options. When we inquired about the fish, he sat with us and thoroughly explained the different types of fish and even showed us pictures so we had an idea what we would be eating. The food was truly some of the best we had ever experienced! We ordered the sea bass with pasta and the flavors were just spot on! Our friend ordered the steak and it was so flavorful and tender. We would highly recommend Thyme and Seasons to anyone! We look forward to going again and becoming long time customers. Excellent food and impeccable service!! ☺

We arrived at this spot for a meeting. my friend recommended this restaurant. Well, it was a winning. The staff were extremely nice and we felt excellent. The food was just great. We enjoyed every moment and we will visit this place again. Keep it up.

This restaurant has excellent service as well as delightful food. One of the best spot around here. The meals arrived quickly and the rates were economical. Recommended.

Food was so appetizing. mood here reminds me of colorado springs area.

I like this place! They have high class dishes, they have a rich menu, The chef in that restaurant is a specialist, I like a lot trying all their dishes. The dishes are always of high qualtity, the attitude towards the visitors is helpful. I frequently visit this place and I was never unhappy. I recommend it to all my friends.

Love this place!! Eccentric, top-notch food for those who appreciate quality ingredients.

The 3rd time Ive been here and its so good. I had Sea Bass for the 1st time. So juicy and tender. The sides of risotto, vegetables, and mashed potatoes were delicious. I would definitely recommend to everyone. Just remember the place isnt for everyone. There is no menu. The owner/chef gives you options and you choose. You wont know the price until you check out. On weekdays it can be anywhere between $15-$20 and on weekends $20-25. If you get the Sea Bass or Prime Rib it will be $30. If thats not an issue than you wont have a problem.

You need to come to Thyme and Seasons and meet Chef Hai. You will learn things you never knew about foods, spices, and preparation techniques. Amazing experience

Sea bass is to die for great place good times

Absolutely amazing food. The owner is awesome. He shares where he gets his seasonings and spices. We ordered the halibut and it was perfection. The salad had ingredients that were delicious. To end the meal, the owner dipped strawberries into the best chocolate ever. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Is there a better restaurant on the Planet? I think not.Thank you Hai!💛 #seattle

This place is very unique! Not a typical restaurant, you don’t see a menu, the owner comes to your table and asks what you want. Be very clear as to what you want and it will happen. Owner is very friendly so if you are looking to NOT be chatty this may be off-putting. We had the best steak and prime rib ever! The mash potatoes are very good and the veggies were good as well. Plan on spending around fifty for two meals, but you will not be disappointed! We will be back!

We loved this restaurante, it is unique. The chef comes to ask you what are you craving for. I have celiac disease and his food is mostly Gluten free. He makes the most healthiest dishes. I fell in love of this restaurant. I highly recommend it.
