Back again to our favorite Thai restaurant. Trying new places we haven't been here in a while. Wow! They did some changes on the inside, some on the outside and to their menu. My wife, our daughters, granddaughter and myself on Sunday early afternoon. They have rearranged tables in center so that now there are several large tables for groups. We were shown to center table, brought water and a Thai Tea to share. We all wanted very spicy except granddaughter, so we ordered her fried rice to mix with some of our meals. We ordered Asian Fusion Rice and Pad Thai, along with Chicken Gyoza appetizer. Drinks and appetizer came quickly, along with small salads to share. The Chicken Gyoza was very good, a steamed dumpling, but not the best I've had. Shortly after our meals came. We had asked for "Thai Spicy", and assured server we knew what that was. Our Asian Fusion was pretty spicy, maybe a little less than usual. The Pad Thai was with great heat. It was a delicious meal as usual. We finished the meal with Thai Donuts. Everyone said they were great. I didn't partake, not my temptation. Look forward to bringing other friends here to try it.

We first discovered Blue Sake with a coupon in the mail. What the heck, why not try it? We ordered online and service was prompt and courteous. Everything was packaged for easy transport, even down to a small piece of cardboard to stabilize the bag! Food was very good! Very fresh ingredients, great flavor and their prices are so competitive. We have been back multiple times since and each time the food, quality and service is top notch. While it's in a small strip mall, the interior is very pleasant too. Definitely recommended.

Blue Sake is a favorite of ours. They have both Excellent Thai and Sushi Sashimi Dishes! The Mai Tai drinks are great too. Service is alway great! The selection of Sushi Rolls and Sashimi choices are better than any restaurant we have been to In the Area. Staff are Nice, Professional and Attentive.

Papaya Salad with shrimp added ($2 upcharge) Delicious!!

This review is strictly on Blue Sake's Thai food offerings NOT sushi. It has been some time since we had last visited. We were quickly greeted and seated. The interior is still nice, open and clean. For starters, we both ordered the Tom Kha Soup with chicken and an order of Papaya Salad to split. The Tom Kha was not a typical creamy coconut soup. It really lacked the texture and flavors of other Tom Kha's that we've had over the years and the chicken was quite chewy. I wouldn't recommend this soup. However, the Papaya Salad was awesome. We sprung for the extra $2 to have shrimp added on top and it was really worth it. The salad had a wonderful brightness and flavor. If you've never had Papaya salad before, you need to try their version! For entrées, we ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and Emerald Curry with duck. The Pad Thai was very tasty! It wasn't mushy at all! The only downside was the the chicken was (again) a bit too chewy. The Emerald (green) Curry with duck was disappointing. The duck itself was extremely overcooked to the point of being inedible and a very small portion. The green curry sauce was oddly thick and flavorless. I would steer clear of their duck and definitely the Emerald curry. Overall, the service was friendly and attentive. The prices seem in line with other Thai restaurants in the Tampa Bay area. I would definitely go back for their Papaya Salad and the Pad Thai. However, I would add shrimp instead of chicken on the Pad Thai.

Spider roll, Bahama roll, dragon roll.

Great place for sushi! We were in the area getting whiskey from Leukens so I Yelped a sushi spot close by. Our first two options were closed at lunch and on Mondays, so we opted for Blue Sake. At about 2 p.m. on a Monday it was completely empty. This was great for us, because my 11 month old son likes to walk around barefoot. I haven't convinced him that shoes are ok. Not only was the staff fine with it, they were incredibly friendly. It turns out the sushi chef has a 15 month old. The waitress kept talking to my son and giving him high fives. It's always a relief when a restaurant is ok with a baby wandering around aimlessly. The food itself was good. We got a Spider Roll, Bahama Roll, Dragon Roll, and Rainbow Roll. My favorite was the Dragon Roll. I could have eaten one of those all by myself. The Bahama Roll was also very good, I loved the baked scallop on top. Overall, there wasn't a dud in the group. It seems like they are known for their Thai food, so next time I'll have to opt for a Thai dish. I enjoyed my meal and would recommend it to anyone looking for sushi.

Visited this restaurant with a friend yesterday and while the food was pretty good, the service was awful. We were seated and left alone for 45 minutes before anyone came over. When the server came to the table, he asked if we had already put in a drink order. I wanted to say "How Sway?" but I figured he wouldn't get the reference and let it go. We place our order, some food comes relatively quickly. The hot sake was good and hot, the appetizers (fried gyoza,salad and miso soup) were good. My only complaints about the food are the rolls with the cream cheese had the thickest cream cheese I've ever tasted. Good, thicker than a snickers bar cream cheese in a roll is NOT cool! Also, the fried cheesecake didn't taste like cheesecake. It tasted like sweetened creamed cheese put in tempura and deep fried, then covered in chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

Small restaurant but cute. Enough space for large parties. I Order of the banzai roll and sunset roll. To my surprise I actually like the bonsai roll better. Came with a small salad. The rolls are medium size and cost $14 and $13. Canned Pepsi products $1.75

Blue Sake has a big menu if you have never been here or reviewed it online, so I am pretty sure I will give it another try but just not for sushi. First order of business, a Saketini that was wonderful. I loved that instead of an umbrella, they gave me a pineapple decoration. We ordered the Shanghai Rolls that were also very good and came served cut in half which was probably best so Ben didn't try to beat me to "my half" of the rolls which generally means he gets 3 and I get 1. Here is where they lost me, personally. I have a weird little thing that I need something crunchy in my sushi rolls, either cucumber or asparagus. It's just a weird thing about me, I know... So when reviewing the menu, I was surprised that more was not popping out at me, I saw 1 roll that I felt I may enjoy but it was missing the crunch. I asked our waitress if they would be able to add in either cucumber or asparagus into the roll and she went to double check and then asked if I wanted it inside the roll or just on top. I said, inside the roll. Unfortunately, when I got my roll, there was neither of the two items added as requested (I would have been happy with either one, just one of the two). I took a bite and was like, well it has shrimp tempura in it so I guess it is okay but I was still disappointed as there was an entire conversation over the add on. To make matters worse, when I got the bill, there was a price add on for it. Ahhhh, sure that would 100% be fine if I actually got it. Other menu items looked good so we may give it another go but this wouldn't be added onto my list of sushi places to revisit and not just because of lack of my add on but most of their rolls are also the "usual" rolls that are on every sushi menu, there was really no "wow I have to try this roll" listed.

Definitely a restaurant worthy of five stars…read more I've been craving salmon sashimi so we stopped by here on our way back from Clearwater Beach. This place is locally owned and operated and service is fantastic. Everyone we interacted with had a smile on their face. I got the salmon plate which came with a salmon roll, salmon sushi, and salmon sashimi. I think it's better to split this with somebody and get another roll because it was definitely salmon overload. However, I did that to myself, I also wasn't expecting the salmon pieces to be so large. You definitely get your money's worth of salmon. My husband got hibachi steak and shrimp with fried rice. He loved it and said it was fantastic. We got an appetizer of edamame and it was good as well. I would definitely come back here and try different sushi rolls since the fish tasted so fresh. We also both got salad that came with our dishes, and the dressing was creamy and delicious. It was actually one of my favorite salad dressings that I've gotten at a sushi restaurant. The decor is clean and bright. This feels like a very family friendly place that you can bring everyone in your family. Parking outside is plentiful since it is in a strip mall. I would highly recommend checking this place out.

This is a to-go review. I have eaten here several times and all have been good. The fish portions…read moreare the right size for the rolls. The service is always friendly and very helpful and the place is always clean. I will be back again.!

We just wanted to post this review so that people know before they drive across town to eat there. So here it is, the answer to you question "doesn't he know all restaurants do that?" No, they don't. There's an important distinction between "closing time" and "last seating," and yes, different restaurants do it differently. IMHO, there's a right way and a wrong way. If a restaurant publishes 3:00 PM as its closing time, the ordinary customer interpretation is that you can walk in at 2:48 and be served. For many, quality restaurants, who care about their hangry customers, what they do is seat people up until the posted closing time, and the doors stop admitting new customers. People already inside finish their meals. The staff then does closing work after the last customers leave. So if the restaurant wants the dining room empty and employees effectively finished by 3:00, it really ought to advertise an earlier closing time.

What a beautiful and delicious experience we had at Ocean Hai. It's a level of elegance we wanted…read more The overall look from the entrance, the food, and the gorgeous patio is a must add to your list when in Clearwater! It was crazy hot so we couldn't sit on the patio but at sunset it was still a stunning view. Kalby was an absolute pleasure to be serviced by. She was attentive and used her talents to help recommend entrees from the menu. Our starter was the bulgogi skewers which were perfectly balanced with sweet and Korean spice. The edamame was our least favorite dish. I did discuss this with kalby and the manager. The idea was there but poor execution. The gochujang sea salt...the gochujang just wasn't there and once you ate that top layer all you got was oily edamame, so much oil...you wouldn't need chapstick for the rest of the day. Then wins though came from the cocktails. Ours were delicious and my old fashion was spot on. Also in the win was the sunset sushi, beautiful and fantastic, along with Korean crispy chicken. The peanut sauce was the perfect balance to that meal. Now...what we also loved that should be permanently on the menu was the mochi. We had 4 of them and they were wonderful! Everyone should be able to experience these. But ocean hai on your list as a must try place for sure.

First thing's first, the ambiance at this place when the sun is setting is absolutely worth having…read moredinner here. We had the nicest table right on the patio overlooking the beach and it was fantastic. Our server was pleasant when she was around, but it seemed like she went missing for long periods of time and always right when we seemed to need something. Service was generally slow and the restaurant wasn't super busy when we were there. Food was mediocre at best. We started with the bulgogi beef skewers and the ahi tuna apps. The skewers were sort of dry and chewy...and I don't know that they tasted like bolgogi. The tuna tartar app tasted heavily of lime and nothing else and the cuts on the tuna were pretty messy and made it a bit difficult to eat. The grouper entree was okay, but the piece of fish I got looked like a baseball in that it was thick and sort of round? It made it just kind of tough and overcooked on the outside and a little undercooked on the inside. The chicken fried rice was good, but nothing to write home about.
