User Reviews

I love this place! My man and I come here almost every time we have a date night. It’s hard to go elsewhere when we know this will be good every time. Also, one of the only places where every drink you order taste good. Every time we come the staff is great and some of them have come to recognize us over time. It’s super sweet. Our favorite rolls are the tidal wave and the Hawaiian but we try new ones constantly as well. Crab soup is delicious. They also have the most extensive vegan sushi menu I’ve ever seen. The only thing that I wouldn’t rate 5 stars is sometimes the Hawaiian roll is different sizes. I wish it was a bit more consistent because it’s amazing and then disappointing when you come back and the roll is smaller the next time. But overall 10/10 love the atmosphere, the fish tank, almost all the servers, everything. We will be back soon! Also- definitely make a reservation. Just be courteous.

Really good sushi for being a land-locked state. The 2 rolls I got were both very good and the lunch special they offer is a good deal to. Only complaints I have are the bar seats are very uncomfortable, if they had a backrest then it would be fine, but just wood is very uncomfortable. The projector also has something splattered on it so the screen is speckled with whatever got on it. Overall a very good experience with attentive and friendly staff. If you’re in the area I’d check it out if you enjoy good sushi at a fair price.

Stopped here while walking 16th St. and had mixed feelings about our visit. We spent $70+tip for two ice teas. two rolls, edemame, and a veggie bowl mascarading as ceviche. The service was great, and the rolls and edemame were good, but the ceviche: meh. Portion sizes on all dishes were weak as well. There was hardly any seafood in the ceviche and pretty bland by any standard. Mostly just lightly seasoned veggies and a sprinking of tilapia and white shrimp. Since tilapia is one of the cheapest cuts of fish out there, we expected a bit more actual meat, but no. If there was jalapeño salsa and chili oil, neither I nor the wife tasted it. It was also the most expensive item we ordered at $16. So we definitely took an L there. Both their spicy gringo roll and thriller rolls were on point so it almost made up for it. Better places downtown at these prices, tho. We should have known when there was hardly anyone seated at 1 pm on a Saturday.

Food is fine and the service was friendly. The biggest issue for me was the rolls tasted pretty good but the fish didn't shine. I had no idea what kind of fish I was tasting and if there wasn't any, I'm not sure I'd have known. Maybe the more basic rolls would have allowed the fish to shine but if you make fancier rolls, they should still feature the fish.

Moonstone Coconut Lemongrass sake, Coconut Crab Soup, Cloud9 2.0 This was one of the best meals I've had during this current human experience,1976-present... and I'm always searching for nourishment of mind body and soul... thank you for the nourishment.

This was the first time coming to Blue Sake we had reservations (which is highly recommended). We came here to celebrate my birthday and see friends. It was such an awesome experience. Billie our server was amazing he was on top of our orders and checking in on us. The appetizers were so good and the sushi was so fresh and delicious. Presentation of sushi did not dissapppint. I will come back again the next time I visit.

We’re visiting from NYC and had recommendations from a co-worker so we came here for lunch. Food is good but very very tiny portion. Also not authentic, the menu is very Americanized. The dishes also had no flavor. The service is okay but not outstanding while the “employee wellness fee” is charged. Just make your $18 sushi rolls more expensive. Besides that, this is more expensive than a standard sushi restaurant in New York City. Extremely unimpressed and will not recommend to anyone or come back.

Stopped by for happy hour (all day on Sunday). The white peach cocktail was really good. Also got the Asian lettuce wraps and the spicy sake salmon maki, which were also delicious. It was a bit pricey, but overall pretty good value. This could have been a four star experience, but I was disappointed that a waitress (who was not serving me) assumed that my cocktail was finished and took it away without asking (when I was turned away), while there were still a few sips left in it. The cocktail was delicious and definitely was not happy that it was taken away before being finished.
