If you're looking for great sushi, keep looking elsewhere I should preface this by saying that my husband and I only went here one time, but we won't be going back. We love sushi and were expecting good things, but the sushi just wasn't up to par and not worth the money. I think the focus is more on being "trendy" than serving high-quality food.
Customer service was good, location was good, atmosphere was okay, and the sushi was just average. I like the fact that Sushi Blues gives you the option of brown rice, but they really skimped out on the fish in my roll. I wouldn't have taken the time to write a review if they just skimped a little, but it was alot! Plus it was expensive! My fiance also ordered a dish and said it tasted like a microwave dinner (not too much flavor). I always like mixing it up and going to different restaurants, but from now on I'll stick with... read more
Never Disappointed – I visit Sushi Blues once every few weeks, and have not once been disappointed. They have a solid menu of sushi rolls and sashimi, which is nearly always buy-one-get-one-free: perfect for a twenty-something (or thirty-something). The Futomaki, Philip Rivers (cucumber wrap instead of rice), and the Rat Pack are all solid bets. The servers are always respectful, attentive, and friendly - a few of them put in the extra effort to make newcomers welcome and regulars glad to be back.
I am not sure – This place has good location across sushi-o which i had pleasure visiting last week. Sushi Blue has good gathering place but for sushi I honestly have to say "I will pass", it just don't seems to be my kind of place for sushi. I guess they are targeting younger crowd who careless about quality. Now for few of better things which comes from their hot appetizers and beer which are pretty good but how can you go wrong with the beer.
Only for beer – Please, the oder from fish is fishy and I feel sad for people who thinks this place has good sushi. Sushi Blue at least is a good hang out place to enjoy some beer with friends.
50/50 – The Sushi was par at best, nothing traditional at all. But I guess that is not entirely the point with the theme they portray. I must say the service especially for late night was awesome. Always on point every step of the way. I will give them another shot!
If you like getting sick – Though I once enjoyed Sushi Blues, the last two times I have gone, I have ended up feeling quite sickly momments after eating. Last night for instance, my friend and I both had the wolfpack roll or whatever it is called and both of us have had severe diarreah and gas since! Their ginger dressing used to also be amazing, and now looks like they took the container it was in....filled it the rest of the way with water, shook it, and then served it. It also tastes as if they did that. I officially can ... read more
Some of the Best Sushi the Triangle has to offer. – I am not sure how this place has received poor reviews. I've been here a number of times and even brought a sushi connoisseur with me on several occasions. I've never had a poor experience here. Of course, on Friday and Sat eves, it's going to be a lot busier so seating takes time. However, the atmosphere and food make up for that. If large parties happen to come in on the same night you are there, it's going to be nosier; that's unavoidable. But I've never been poorly atte... read more
Can I give it ZERO STARS? Avoid this place like the PLAGUE! – The only reason I tried Sushi Blues is because I work downtown was in the mood to try a sushi place on my way home today. Big mistake! To start off, I had to hunt down someone to seat me, and I chose to sit at the sushi bar itself. The menu seemed lacking in any real sushi - it all seemed rather Americanized and hyped up. I decided on the Hosomaki combo and some green tea. The green tea they served me was in a MUG and basically tasted like green water. I was broug... read more
