Been wanting to try a new place and found this on Yelp. The location looks familiar and wonder if it used to be an old pub or bar. Service was great - food was great - and they have omakase on weekends for $75 a person and it comes with soup and salad - so we are told. We will definitely come back and give it a try. It has some outside seating - the inside a bit small but cozy. read more

I've come to this place a few times so I feel like I can properly review Bleu Bear Sushi. It is phenomenal! It is now my go-to sushi spot. For apps, I've had the chicken karaage (so tender and crispy) and the shisito peppers (perfect seasoning). The traditional and specialty rolls are delicious (I've tried the shrimp tempura, the red dragon, the salmon lover). If you want to branch out, the Special Nigiri are also one to try (I got the Seared Sake Toro Yuzu Sauce, so so good!). The service is also amazing. The staff recognized me and my order so they're very attentive. It's a great place, give it a try. read more

Bleu Bear Sushi - Red Dragon Maki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bedford, Texas

After our first trip to Japan where we experienced the most incredible sushi yet we came home to search and find something comparable. We found it at Bleu Bear! This is the absolute best nigiri we've had. They have special nigiri options and one we tried was escolar with foie gras . It will give you a gastronomical experience that can't be matched. It is so GOOD! The staff is awesome, always friendly and knowledgeable. Sam is the best! He is so nice and helpful! He's a fantastic server! Give them a try!! read more

This was fantastic! I felt like I was in Tokyo at a gourmet, exclusive, authentic sushi restaurant. The presentation was off the charts and the flavors were some we'd never experienced before. The prices were higher than our typical spots but the value and experience were commensurate. read more

Came here for the omakase but it's only available on weekends... got the nigiri set instead and it was very underwhelming :( I'll definitely have to come back for the omakase again to give them another shot! read more

Always such a wonderful experience here. For being local and off the cuff, it has created a hub for sushi lovers and is top notch. Very fresh, very flavorful, and such a delightful experience overall. Love coming here and will again and again. read more

We ordered the omakase, the salmon napple, and hamachi with yuzu. The staff was attentive and the food came out quickly. The salmon was nice, but we were a bit disappointed in the quality of the rest of the fish. The omakase felt heavy handed with toppers to try to hide the fish. It wasn't "bad" it just wasn't great or memorable. At that price point, there are definitely better venues to explore. read more

Needed a sushi spot close to the airport for a quick dinner. I've seen the reviews and have wanted to try Bleu Bear for awhile now. As others have mentioned, GF menu is available on request which was helpful for my daughter. I enjoyed the salmon truffle and apple sashimi dish, unique flavors that work great together. Service was excellent, we had a brief wait to be seated but once seated multiple servers and staff were assisting us, refilling beverages, bussing, etc. According to my husband the place used to be a divey bar many years ago. I loved the dining room, a bit of an industrial vibe and still a nice bar area for both sushi and cocktails. This will be a new spot on our sushi rotation for sure! read more

Best sushi in the Mid-Cities! I've been here enough times to try a little bit of everything, and I've never been disappointed. Every bite has me saying, "Yum, yum, yum!" The staff is amazing, too. They make you feel welcome and will often remember you after just one visit. It's a cute little restaurant with a chill, relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a great meal. Highly recommended! The patio is cute but it's too hot right now read more

Feels like I'm a regular now! I would even come here by myself bc it's so good This place offers delicious sushi and foods! One of the workers, Nancy was able to make me a yuzu drink and it's all good!!! My go to order would be the wagyu lover maki roll (this one melts in your mouth) AND the beef teriyaki bowl. However, your flavor of dish would be good. I sometimes will order the chu otoro nigiri. YUM!!! It depends what time you go. Prime time is always busy. One time it was perfect when I showed up at 7-8pm on Friday and one seat was opened at the bar. It can get pretty noisy and loud. read more

This place was Amazing! We were seated promptly and a waiter greeted us immediately. They work as a team, so we were tended to by several servers during our dinner. Our server knew the menu well and guided us to order the Salmon and Apple to start with. He said if we love salmon sashimi, we will really like this. He was right!! I had a Cosmopolitan and my husband had hot sake. We also tried the Miso soup and house salad. The house salad had thier house dressing which is not a typical ginger dressing but I loved it all the same. We shared The Baked Snow Crab Maki and the Lobster Maki. Both were delicious! It's in a quiet location on a Saturday night. Inside it was easy to have conversations and very clean. The prices were quite reasonable too. Will definitely go back!! read more

My go to sushi spot! I've been a total of 3 times so far and every time, everything has been more than amazing. The nigiri is so fresh and I love it because they can do anything "seared". The fatty salmon MELTS in your mouth. And they don't use ANY imitation crab, so all of their dishes that has crab has real crab. The wagyu maki lover is amazing-- it is perfect for someone who is just getting into sushi. The crunch and the flavor mixes so well together. read more

My favorite was the special nigiri hamachi yuzu - very flavorful, perfectly balanced, good mouthful. I would come back just to get this special hamachi yuzu (but for $8/piece, it would be a special occasion). The other sushi lacked punchy flavor, and the lean tuna, medium fatty tuna, fatty salmon, and regular salmon all tasted nearly identical to me. The wagyu lover rolls were extra chewy because of the asparagus and not worth paying wagyu prices in my opinion, but still tasty. The texture was spot on perfect, though. On the higher end for sushi prices, but very consistently amazing textures, even though most of the fish was bland. read more

Disclaimer: I've yet to visit in person. I've only ordered takeout. I'm obsessed. What a dream come true to have an incredible sushi restaurant with an amazing gluten free menu in Bedford, Texas of all places-- where I grew up and where most of my family currently resides. Bedford isn't home to very many restaurants outside of chains or diners, so Bleu Bear is an extra exciting addition to the dining scene. I was so thrilled to order spicy garlic edamame, miso soup, salmon sashimi, and a couple sushi rolls -- all gluten free and all absolutely fresh and delicious. The miso soup had so much flavor! The edamame was perfect and super savory. The "Salmon N Apple" was my favorite: 8 pieces of fatty salmon sashimi wrapped around a marinated apple slice, drizzled with truffle chili soy, and garnished with micro cilantro. It was even better than it sounds. Everything tasted so bright and clean. I can't wait to visit in person and make my way through every single gluten free option on the menu! read more

First time trying Bleu Bear Sushi and it was actually pretty good! The nigori was alright, but I really liked their rolls especially the Wagyu Lover Roll, definitely my fave and it's even part of their happy hour . It's a small spot but super cute for Bedford. I'd come back to try more rolls for sure read more

There is a reason this place has 4.9 stars. OMG. so I heard about this place like 2 years ago, but hadn't tried it until this weekend. This place hits hard where it really matters: food quality and harmony of flavors. First let me mention a few things: the ambience does leave something to be desired. It basically looks like it used to be a renovated bar or something. You can see it from the ceiling lights and the walls. so not a place for a first date where it's heavy on impressions and stuff. But take your family on the regular to eat quality sushi? This would be the spot. Food wise I was impressed there were otoro on the specialty rolls here and the quality is great! we got the: Tuna Lover's special: with spicy tuna, cucumber, and scallion. Topped with otoro, truffle oil, and black tobiko. the otoro made this amazing and it had excellent taste and mouth feel. it was my favorite and i will be coming back for this Baked snow crab maki: with salmon, cream cheese, Avocado topped with baked snow crab, spicy mayo, kabayaki sauce, scalion. I had them hold cream cheese since cream cheese sort of disgusting. i have a soft spot for baked rolls and this felt great to eat. tuna lover's special still better but i'd reorder this Negi Toro Donburi: husband got, it came with an egg. it was pretty good and he enjoyed it. Service was great, they asked multiple times if we wanted to order anything else and everything came really fast. read more

I started with the salmon skin maki - extra crunchy, flavorful, and light, but I'd recommend upgrading to the Salmon Lover Maki bc it has more balance, and is less about the crunch, more about the salmon itself and its filling. The volcano maki came loaded with toppings, sauce, and bold flavor - definitely more filling and satisfying than the salmon skin roll. If you enjoy something rich and layered, this one hits the spot, though my all-time favorites are still the Fire Ocean and the Salmon Lover rolls. I also tried yellowtail nigiri and red snapper sashimi. Both were very fresh - yellowtail nigiri had a buttery smooth texture, but the single pieces are more of a light add-on. If you're looking for a full, filling meal, go for the multi-piece rolls with more variety and toppings. read more

Finally tried Bleu Bear and enjoyed it. The food and staff we met were great. We sat at bar and had access to full menu and tried a few basic rolls as well as a specialty crab/crawfish roll that was unique and delicious. Will be back to try more options in the future. Seems like a fun place. read more

Every single thing we ordered was beyond delicious! This is what we ordered: Tako Wasabi Japan uni sushi Chu Toro Fried Microgreen Hotate Japanese Uni Ikura Seared Sake Toro Yuzu Nigiri Salmon & Apple Green Tea Tiramisu Our server was Ms. Apple. She was so kind and sweet! I usually don't leave reviews but this place deserves the recognition for its high quality fish and presentation, and customer service. Perfect place for date night, but can also be kid-friendly. read more

Wow, amazing. Simply amazing. Highly recommend. Wait staff great. I just thought I would get that out of the way. I had high expectations before I got here based on the reviews. They exceeded my expectations. I ordered omakase for lunch. Yep, lunch. The omakase was fantastic. The A5 Wagyu with foie gras was probably the best bite I have ever had. I also had the foie gras flight. Dang, special. Ok, I'm going to keep it short. Check this place out, traditional meets fushion, highly recommend. read more

I came here from my sisters recommendation whom I trust very much, however this heavily missed the mark for me. With the reviews and high peer praise, it's possible it was just an off day for them? My bf and I ordered takoyaki, the omakase set, black throat perch and ama-ebi. The Takoyaki was okay, the octopus piece was very small and only 1 in each. The black throat perch was served to us first and it was very fishy. I've never had it before so I wasn't sure if it was how the fish is. Then we got served the ama-ebi (sweet shrimp) which was also fishy... okay things are a bit off so far but we still had high hopes for the omakase set. Once received, the trend unfortunately continues. The sauce and fruit pieces cover up the fishy-ness for the most part but still not great. Again, I wanted to put trust into the peer reviews so I kept trying each piece and honestly only the wagyu was good (the final piece). After a bottle of sake to hopefully ease our sorrows, the total was ~$250 I decided to make the trip out here when I had wanted to go to Hatsuyuki again. I really wish I had because $250 for almost entirely mid and fishy sushi is my nightmare. Fishy-ness, I'm aware won't make me sick, but the experience and money loss definitely did it for me. For their sake, I hope it was an off day read more

I stopped in for a quick visit and this may be a future go-to spot whenever I'm back in my hometown for a visit and craving a nice spot for sushi. The omakase was quite reasonable and came with a miso soup and small salad. My waiter mentioned they just recently dropped this omakase menu so this may change on a regular-ish basis. Service was prompt and friendly enough. The place seemed pretty popular but I was able to get a seat at the sushi bar. The sushi was delicious and there were some moments where I was pleasantly surprised with some of the combinations for the pieces. read more

I was on a business trip to Dallas and wanted to eat sushi, so I searched for a Japanese restaurant near the hotel and found one with good reviews, and visited Bleu Bear Sushi. I ordered Sashimi Entree, Nigiri Entree, Spider Roll, and Shishito Petter to share with my coworker. The quality of the fish was good, and everything we ordered was delicious. The restaurant atmosphere was good, the food decoration was nice, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly, so I want to visit again next time. read more

Flew in from Cincinnati and our first stop was to Bleau Bear. It was on my radar. So happy I made it. We started with Brussel Sprouts, Salmon N Apple and hamachi. Then moved on to Red Dragon roll, and Hamachi lover roll. Then finished(because it was to good to stop) with Salmon Lover. Its was all fantastic. Then we ended with the green tea Tiramasu that was the perfect balance of herb, sweet, and bitter. I hope everyone discovers this sushi place. Perfect pregame before the weekend. read more

While in the area I had the craving for some good sushi and while searching Yelp, I found Bleu Bear. I stopped by for lunch and the ambiance was really nice and chill. I ordered the nigiri entrée which came with 9 pieces of nigiri as well as a salmon roll. The fish was extremely fresh and delicious but the choice of cuts was extremely surprising yet delightful. Along with the pieces you would typically expect like salmon, shrimp, etc, they also included hamachi belly, which was super tender, alongside with pieces of chutoro, which blew me away with how melt in your mouth it was). Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

What a great place! in the SW corner of Harwood and Central. Lots of parking and really nice interior. My wife started with a house salad. Nancy recommended the Spinach Crispy Shitake salad. Winner! The bowl could have been 2x and she still would have eaten all of it. Miso soup was really good, as was the Shishito Pepper appetizer. We ordered some basic rolls (salmon/spicy tuna) and a special roll called the Spider Maki. That was pretty awesome. Also had the Salmon Tataki. It was on the milder side, but still really good. We will definitely be going back for more! Nancy took really good care of us in addition to the other employees that visited our table to ensure we were having a good experience. We were having a GREAT experience. read more

went here with a friend and did some damage. tested the waters with an omakase set each. enjoyed it, ordered more a la carte things afterwards! quality is good, we went on a sunday -- it was empty when we came in and we were a lil skeptical about freshness, but all my friends raved about this place! quality was not compromised, uni tasted great. i think the only piece i didn't care for was the toro. otherwise, everything was spectacular. 10/10 would recommend (and we have!) loveee that it's in bedford too. service was attentive, this was a few months ago but the gentleman was very helpful and knowledgeable. ambiance is nice and quiet imo read more

Truly some of the best sushi and meal I have had. Can not recommend this place enough! Great service and vibes.

I needed a later night option after a late DFW arrival. They are open until 10pm, kitchen takes last order at 930pm. I walked in at 923pm and was told the scoop. Ordered an App, one of their signature rolls and a salmon roll. Everything was great. Server was helpful and the sushi was good and came out quickly too. There was about 4 tables left eating at 930. Pretty good for a strip center on a Sun night late June. I will be back!! read more

I tried Bleu Bear on a Saturday night. The inside has a very inviting vibe. After sitting at the bar, I was greeted by the most lively people. I didn't know what to expect from a suburban sushi spot in Bedford. After one night I can say without a doubt that Bleu Bear has the best sushi! Every single thing I tasted was delicious. I can't single out one item. The Salmon Napple is so refreshing and something you'll want to have every visit. I tried the hamachi lover specialty roll, fantastic! The matcha tiramisu is so creative and smooth. The omakase...hands down sets the standard of omakase in DFW! Every time I tried the nigiri I thought, "Aw, I need another." It was that delicious! There are plenty of restaurants labeling their meat as wagyu. The final piece in recommended order of the omakase is the wagyu nigiri, and I'm still thinking about it today. I can't wait to return, in fact I'm hesitant to try other sushi spots because this place set the bar. read more
