Blue Sushi Sake Grill unites creative ingredients with energetic vibes, premium cold sake with happy moments to give you a fresh and fun new way to experience sushi. Our sushi and grill menus allow you to explore your sushi favorites in new and unexpected ways. We like to say that sushi is for sharing, and our menu encourages it. Order a spread of all your maki, nigiri and sashimi favs from the sushi bar, and throw in a few orders of starters from the grill. We'll stagger your plates so you can savor it all bite-by-bite, and maximize the sushi experience you've been craving all week. If you're not sure where to start, tour the menu during Happy Hour, where all our guest favorites — from our sushi, grill and drink menus — are available at an amazing value. We offer Happy Hour every day of the week at Blue Sushi Sake Grill!

    Our server was attentive and efficient. The happy hour menu was extensive and very reasonable. The fried calamari was fabulous, though too large for one person. The lettuce cups were distinctive, featuring chicken with peanut sauce, and a mix of vegetables. We are definitely going back.

    Made a reservation weeks in advance to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We have a tradition of going to Blu for Valentine’s day, third year in a row! I was disappointed when shown our table because we were sat at a six person table and sharing it with another couple. I understand trying fit as many people as possible into the restaurant but I don’t think accommodating walk ins should leave people with reservations at community tables.

    Everything was delicious and our server was great. They asked if we were going to a show and was considerate of our time. My second time visiting the restaurant and it was as good as the first. My friends have never been before and they now know about Blue Sushi.

    It was my first time here and it did not disappoint! The variety of sushi rolls that they offered were amazing and they even had a huge vegan option that my friend(they were the one to invite me down) was able to enjoy. There were a bunch of large parties that were there but we were still able to receive all of our food and drinks in a timely manner! Abby was our server and she did a killer job managing her parties and being attentive towards us. Their manager even greeted us and actually took our order as our server was in the middle of closing out a large party. That was not all! He came back multiple times to check-in on us and even recommended stopping next door to their tiki bar for post-dinner drinks which we ended up doing. One of the best experiences I have had in a long time going out to dinner!

    This place is great! Kaleb was our server and did a tremendous job! The GM Tyler even stopped by to chat us up and see how everything was going. The sushi is bomb, drinks are delicious and they even have a tiki bar connected to it that we stopped in after dinner! 10 out of 10 on everything! We can't wait to come back!

    We really appreciate the birthday deserts! We did wait at the door for quite some time to be greeted, but we were able to find our party and make it to our table. Great food, as always!
