Blu Karma is my favorite restaurant in Danvers! The staff is incredibly friendly and runs a tight ship. The seating situation is pretty small which can mean long waits but the takeout is just as good. When the weather is nice, the outdoor seating is comfortable too. My favorite dishes at Blu Karma are the shrimp chow foon or any of the sushi rolls. I've had a few alcoholic drinks there which have been colorful and yummy. I always look forward to going or getting takeout! read more

Best Chinese Food in town and the sushi amazing !!! We love this place so much, we going there at least one a week or take out food. Tina and Kat ... server is wonderful and friendly You must try ... you won't regret it I promise read more

We stopped by Blu Karma for lunch and it was good! Their speciality makis were delicious. We also ordered the soup dumplings (not pictured) as an appetizer. The soup dumplings seemed similar to the ones you can get from Trader Joe's, so I was a bit unimpressed. Overall, the restaurant is small, but cozy. With the location being right off the highway, the parking lot can be tricky to navigate during busier hours like lunch or dinner. read more

Just moved to the Boston area about a year ago, and after searching for a good Chinese/asian restaurant, Blu Karma is hands down the best. The menu selections are the best of the best of what I always order in Honolulu, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, with great Chinese and pan asian dishes like pineapple fried rice and sushi. Parking is limited in their small lot, and if you're picking up on holidays or busy game day weekends, it's tough to turn in only to have to reverse out onto the busy street. Simply the best of the place, imho. read more

Blu Karma - Wednesday afternoon - Asian Fusion Near Me - Danvers, Massachusetts

Start off by saying this fish is FRESH! We loved all the rolls we had, but we are always blown away by the flavorings. The scallop lobster roll was great, but we will definitely not get it again. We realized this when we had the spicy edamame and the blu karma roll are incredible! This is a cute spot, definitely small so be aware at busy times. But even though we went on a busy time in a Friday, our waitress was amazing and the sushi chefs were quick and constantly on the go! read more

Food is so good and consistent, quite possibly best on the Northshore. The sushi is the best on the Northshore. Tried nearly everything. Service is wonderful, I'm always greeted by name. The restaurant is intimate, clean, and the lighting is perfect for a wonderful date night. Prices are a little high, but you don't leave feeling like you wasted your money, the food is good! read more

Tried this place last week and I will be back. Clean restaurant and the food delicious. Not to mention KENO one more reason to visit.

We came on a Thursday afternoon and it was surprisingly busy. The restaurant is small and they offer some outdoor seating. We ordered the Thin-Crusted Sushi Pizza, Chili Wontons, Crispy Calamari, California roll and a nigiri set (from the specials menu). All the food was good, with my favorites being the calamari, and nigiri set. The calamari was huge, lightly crispy and a bit spicy which I enjoyed. The fish quality is also good. It is a little pricey, as I expect these prices more in Boston. They offer lunch specials on weekdays. They have a small parking lot and there is a plaza across the street. Service was good and friendly, however the staff watched all the tables very intensely which was a bit uncomfortable sometimes. It seems that they recognize regulars which is a nice feeling. read more

Excellent restaurant. I've been 3 or 4 times and it's always a great experience. They have an expansive menu from Chinese/polynesian apps to sushi, so you never get bored, AND all well executed. Service is brisk but effective. It's a pretty small restaurant. With the exception of a couple tables in the middle, you don't feel too crowded. Not everyone liked their mai tais. I thought it was fine. Maybe a little weak but also it wasn't $20 or whatever absurd prices Kowloon is charging for a premixed maitai out of a jug these days. My only regret is when you go with a small party there's only so much you can order... but you want to order everything! Dumplins... sushi boat... noodles... peking duck. Peking duck is a favorite. It comes in a half duck portion so you don't have to commit to a full duck. read more

Simply the best!!.....The Beef or Chicken Kung Pao is a 10. Xtra Spicy extra peanuts. Best PFR anywhere. Ask for extra bean spouts and extra pork. Sometimes we get two orders. The chicken wings, the calamari (with the spicy peppers and onions on the side, Let's not forget the sushi. The best indicator of food quality is popularity. The only time they are not crazy busy is when they are closed. Tina & Katie ROCK!!! They do it your way... David G. Beverly read more

Food is ok, and portions are adequate. However, be warned that blu karma charges two undisclosed separate fees for ordering food online: a $2 "online fee" and $3.26 "platform fee." Also, they are still not serving fortune cookies "due to Covid-19" on the eve of 2025. Junk fees + no fortune cookies = Do Not Recommend! read more

Very good, I had the hot and sour soup a spicy tuna roll and a shrimp tempura roll. The rolls were amazing and very pretty. The hot and sour soup was good I like it when it had more of a gelatin consistency and it did not a have that but it tasted amazing even with out it. The service was great and the building is very pretty. Not a lot of space between the tables but the food is worth it! Highly recommend! read more

Food is superb, would order from them more if the pricing was more reasonable, Su Changes has been our go to which is better priced. Blu Karma is a treat every now and then read more

So ordered the salmon teriyaki bento for $18.50 which is a fair price. It was $2 to change from white to brown rice... ok. It was listed on the menu and I knew when I ordered it I would be paying that. The salad in the bento box was some old lettuce with 2 pieces of thin wilted cucumber. The teriyaki sauce was so watered down from the steamed veggies that I asked for some more teriyaki sauce. They charged me $3 for that sauce. Would have been nice for them to tell me there would be a charge. It's like asking for more ketchup and being charge a ridiculous amount for it without being told. Based on this alone I won't be coming back here. read more

Wow! Such fresh food and beautiful setting! I would definitely recommend this place!!

Great food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. The menu had a lot of options, and everything we tried was fantastic. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommend this place for a laid back meal. The variety and consistency of the food are a big plus read more

So delicious! Very good sushi option on the north shore. The sushi sandwich is so good.

My mother came into town and immediately have a craving for peking duck. Came across this place and oh my god what a find! A small dining area with great, attentive service; bringing fast but hot food. Sushi was great, house fried rice made EXCELLENT day two leftovers, and the peking duck was exactly what we were looking forward. Absolutely will dine again. read more

Good food, nice service but they need a little more tables as their is usually a wait, but guess that is a good thing.

More of a 2.5 from me, but I'll round up if only to discontinue my recent 2-star review streak. I came here once pre-pandemic and thought it was pretty good, but I guess not good enough to return or write a review. I've been wanting to come back so I did tonight. Not as good this time as I remember my first experience being. Sushi bar is closed for seating which is understandable with COVID. The interior is small so I sat outside and thankfully they had heating lamps since it's October. I ordered the Blu Karma maki ($21), rainbow maki ($17), ikura nigiri ($8), and lychee martini ($13.50). In general, the ingredients were fresh, but it wasn't the best sushi I've ever had. The portion sizes did not justify the high prices. Blu Karma maki was the best food item I ordered. Fresh and flavorful, although I wish the price was lower or the roll was bigger because while I liked it, I don't think it was worth the price. Something about the ikura tasted off that I can't quite describe but I still ate it. Rainbow maki was kind of weird. Every other sushi place I've visited has crab(stick), cucumber, avocado, and/or shrimp tempura instead, but this one just had crabstick and tobiko mixed with spicy mayo. I wasn't really a fan of that combination. It was okay otherwise. Lychee martini was good. Not too sweet or too strong with noticeable lychee flavor and came with a lychee fruit. Still, I've had better elsewhere. Service was decent enough. Hostess was very friendly. Waiter not so much, but he wasn't rude. Just came to take my order and give me my food, drink, and check. I probably won't be back any time soon for the same reason I didn't come back until recently. There's other sushi restaurants that comparable quality with better prices and portion sizes closer to me. read more

Sushi has fallen way off post-Covid. Sushi was fishy tonight and did not taste fresh. This used to be one of our go-to spots for takeout but now the only thing my husband and I can order from here is hot food. And even then $18 for 6 wings?! ... the sushi does not taste anywhere near as good as it used to which is so unfortunate! Also for ~ $25 a roll I expect better. read more

North of Boston, there is no other place that competes with Blu Karma! Their Sushi and Asian menu are bar none...the BEST! This restaurant is always busy, their service is amazing (love the people here, always accommodating) and the food is incredible whether dining in, take out and delivery for small or larger crowds! We host a New Year's Day party for family and friends and EVERYONE looks forward to coming to enjoy the delicious Sushi and Asian food. Their Sushi (especially the Special Maki) is the BEST and their Sushi Boats are a work of art! Everyone LOVES the food, it arrives fresh, on time and sets a positive tone for a fun afternoon of friends, family, card games and lots of laughs...truly a special memory! I met Tina (owner), many years ago and she has been gracious and always willing to suggest ideas and to deliver to Gloucester...we have enjoyed Blu Karma for 7+ years on New Year's Day, several family/friend summer parties and even work events. The service they provide and their food is top notch! I stopped by a couple days ago, Tina was out and Katy took over! Such a seamless transition...Katy has been so helpful in planning and suggesting some new dishes to try...and of course a Sushi Boat with popular choices. Katy has worked there for many years as well...this tells you a LOT about what a wonderful business and place to dine this is! I also want to thank the Chef and the Kitchen team for the care you provide to our order to ensure everyone enjoys (and appreciate your special accommodations for GF and other requests)...and they do! I also want to thank our delivery driver who has been there every year on New Year's - Happy New Year and THANK YOU ALL! read more

I've gone here now about 6x. With each time getting progressively worse. I'm not sure if they have the same routine cooks, but every time we try a new dish we instantly cross it off the list. While I can't speak to the sushi--their veggie rice has some of the oddest flavor, with a horrible lingering aftertaste--something does not taste right and leaves me feeling queasy. The veggie pad Thai--if cooked right and hot (it wasn't a couple times) is phenomenal. The crab Rangoons are good and their scallion pancakes are some of the worst I've ever had. 1 bite and I was spitting it in the trash. As you bite down your mouth fills with cold fry oil. It was the thickest, saltiest & greasiest pancake I've ever experienced no joke. At $35.00+ my money Could've been best spent elsewhere. Really disappointed in their food quality and consistency as I have many family and friends in the area that love it here. Out visits will only be for crab Rangoons moving forward read more

Blu Karma - Korean Scallion Pancakes SOAKED IN GREASE - Asian Fusion Near Me - Danvers, Massachusetts

Wow first time trying Blu Karma and it was outstanding. We started off with edamame and spicy tuna crispy rice. The edamame was perfectly season and it was a good amount for a starter. The crispy rice had lots of tuna which surprised me and it came with three large pieces of fried sushi rice. I enjoyed the mix of the crunch and the soft tuna, but I think next time i would try something else. Now for the main event... the sushi!!! I am queen of ordering a million different things and I prefer to do a mix of ala cart and maki as opposed to one of the sets. And pro tip when you order enough you will probably still get a boat (: For rolls, we ordered a boston maki (salmon avocado), a california roll, torched salmon roll, spider roll (soft shell crab) , idaho roll (sweet potato), and a lady in red (spicy tuna topped with tuna sashimi). I went with someone who isn't a huge raw fish fan, so it was important that we did a mix of cooked and raw. We both loved the torched salmon and the lady in red. They had such complex flavor profiles and were delicious. I also love sweet potato rolls and this one had the perfect balance of rice to sweet potato. I think next time we would get another special roll opposed to a California roll... it was fine but definitely not a favorite. I am ashamed to admit that I ordered the nigiri and sashimi just for my self and still managed to eat it all. I ordered Uni Nigiri, Ikura Nigiri, hamachi sashimi, and blue fin toro. The uni was fresh, delicious, and creamy though I will mention that the price on the menu did not match what I was charged but definitely worth it. The ikura was so perfect. You can really judge a sushi chef by their uni and ikura. I think next time I would do hamachi nigiri as opposed to sashimi. Its one of my favorites but I thought the pieces here were much more mild than I am used to. And can I just say wow about the toro. It was sooooo good. At $20 for an order of sashimi it was pricey but I honestly contemplated adding a second order of it ... it was that good. I'm glad I didn't have to share that because I think I would have cried if I had to give away that much perfection. And finally the cocktails. I love a lychee martini and the one here was perfect. Not too sweet but can taste the softness of the lychee. It is a stronger drink so if you like a sweeter cocktail this is not the one for you. My friend had a mango mai tai. She loved it and unlike the lychee martini this drink is on the sweeter side. All in all we had a delicious dinner and will definitely be returning. read more

Meh. Unpopular opinion of the bunch but we really didn't care for this place at all. After reading the amazing yelp reviews from all you fellow yelpers, we decided to dine in for lunch. The place is TINY. We weren't welcomed by the most friendly lady, but it is what it is. The room also looked like it needed a deep cleaning - which is never a good sign. The food was just OKAY, nothing out of this world good very bland. Lunch specials are a nice touch for value, however the flavor on both dishes we ordered was seriously lacking. Service was horrible, never asked how anything was, dropped the food and had a stink eye the entire time. Maybe they were having an off day but it just left a bad taste in our mouths - both the experience and food. Blah. Thank you, next. read more

This place has a small parking lot so get here early or at an off peak hour for the convenience! We went for the sushi boat for 2 and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sushi. I'm not normally a sashimi person (due to my experience with mediocre sashimi) but the taste here was quite fresh and delicious! Also another highlight is the $1 oysters on Sunday only which were absolutely delicious with the sauces they provide. Only 12 per person which seems like a lot but if you like oysters it's better to bring someone who isn't a huge fan to get more! We also got some pad Thai which was a bit different (lettuce and no bean sprouts). It wasn't bad and the chicken was very tender but it wasn't anything super special. I will definitely be back in the future (especially Sunday!). read more
