Tona Sushi Bar & Grill in Ogden has been wowing our cousins to the north for more than a decade with “creative and ingenious art,” as described by Dining Awards panelist Jennifer Burns. “I’ve eaten sushi within sight of an ocean and thought, ‘Tona is better,’” she says. Chef Tony Chen combines traditional Japanese techniques with a modern sensibility that wows on the plate. Sushi, after all, is fussy food with exactness and precision required of its practitioners who are as much designers as they are chefs. “Every touch is thought out to create the perfect bite,” Burns says.
