    Their happy hour is such a good deal. Love their drinks. They have a variety of rolls to choose from and love their mango crab rangoon. Their service is great and the ambiance inside is my favorite. They have a lot of locations like in Lincoln park and river north.

    I tried this restaurant on two different nights while traveling for work. On the first night, the service was a little slow for sitting at the bar, where a bartender is usually very attentive. The second night, the service at the bar was much better. The restaurant has a cool vibe with hanging lanterns. The sushi rolls came out quickly and were fresh and delicious. I will come back the next time I am in town, and hopefully the service will be on point.

    I LOVE this place. As a vegetarian, having more options than just an avocado or cucumber roll is so refreshing. I've tried both the Eden and Thai Hippie rolls and highly recommend both! The cocktails are also amazing. Not to mention I really appreciate how long their happy hour deals go

    Super cute sushi spot with fresh fish and friendly service. We tried the Hawaiian, hot popper, and lion king rolls, and the yellowtail Serrano sashimi. I didn't expect the Hawaiian roll to be deep fried but overall satisfied with the quality of the fish and the plates were ideal for sharing. The crispy brussels were a standout for us. For drinks, the Tokyo Fizz was fruity and deliciously refreshing and I would've ordered a second if it wasn't close to closing time. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, this spot is a new addition to my rotation of go-to restaurants!

    The place is very spacious and have friendly staff. We went on a weekday afternoon around lunch time, but the place was kind of empty. The food was okay. Nothing spectacular. The rolls tasted like one another. The mango crab rangoon was good, but I wish it was crispier. It wasn't fried right. I noticed that the menu also had vegan options.

    Stopped by for lunch happy hour. Great setting / ambiance - vast dining room, pretty empty around lunchtime though (at least on a Monday) I really love that they are transparent about their sources (not that it impacts my order, but just makes the experience genuine). The sushi was gorgeous! The crunchy LA roll had too much sweet chili sauce though, and not much other flavor beyond that. My lion king roll was fantastic though. They had $5 January vegan specials, so we got the Thai hippie roll, which was solid. I'm not too much of a sushi snob so I would return! Great vibe, great food, great value.

    Ordered via Uber Eats: - Lion King (9.5/10): loved this roll, the flavors were so good together and it wasn't that spicy. Wish the portion was a bit larger for the price. - cloud nine 2.0 (8/10): a lighter roll with the sea bass really taking over the flavor even though it's just a small piece on top. Would've been a bigger fan if I liked sea bass more (which in hindsight I should've predicted). Appreciate the creativity of each roll, fish quality was also good although my choices were mostly fully cooked. Although prices were higher, I was plenty full after these two rolls and it ended up around $35 which I expect would've been lower in-person.

    All day Sunday happy hour! Vegan menu! Welcoming staff. Heaven. Been wanting to eat here for years. Walked in on a Sunday evening and it was buzzing. We were seated immediately. Our server was delightful. I wish I got his name. They have a massive selection of plant based sushi and loads of fresh fish for omnis. I will be back every time I'm in the city after this extraordinary meal.

    The food here was very flavorful. They cater well to vegan/vegetarian diets but if you have a nut allergy majority of the menu is not a good choice. I haven't run into many problems throughout life and trying new places with my cashew allergy but here they said every food that had a fried component had potential contamination. The service was fast and the environment was welcoming.

    Went to Blue Sushi Sake Grill on a Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to find out they were doing happy hour pure luck, but a great start. The place wasn't too packed at all, so I definitely wouldn't say a reservation is necessary, at least during the day. It's a huge space, and we were able to walk right in and get a table. There's also a really cool bar area if you're just stopping in for drinks and quick bites. We kicked things off with Japanese beer, which was solid, and my friend got a sake bomb that he really enjoyed. Then we dove into the happy hour menu, which is massive. Honestly, if you wanted to order strictly from that menu, you could easily do a full meal. We split the calamari and the mango crab rangoons. The calamari was awesome, but the crab rangoons were next-level, easily a 10/10. Two great appetizer choices. For sushi, we ordered a mix of happy hour rolls and one regular menu roll. I got the Hot Popper and the Lion King from the happy hour menu, plus the Godzilla roll off the regular menu, which our server recommended. Shoutout to her, the menu is huge, and she pointed me toward one of their most popular rolls, which absolutely delivered. All three rolls were phenomenal, but the Hot Popper was my favorite, and the fact that it's on the happy hour menu makes it an automatic reorder for me. Overall, this meal was fantastic, especially for the price. This place feels like a sleeper hit. We each had drinks, split two apps, and I personally had three rolls, and it came out to around $60 per person which is a steal for sushi of this quality. The happy hour menu is an absolute bargain, and we also learned they do happy hour all day on Sundays, and their normal happy hour runs longer than most places. Bottom line: Blue Sushi Sake Grill is a must-try for sushi lovers. Amazing food, great value, and I'll definitely be back.

    Finally got to check this place out! I forgot to take a picture of the drinks and food. We got the Cali roll, Just Shrimp Tempura Maki, Cowgirl and Green Goddess (last two from the Vegan section). My favorite was the Green Goddess but everything was delicious! The decor is very pretty and the waiter was nice to go over the menu being my first time there. For drinks, I got the Bluetini and my friend got Gin&Ginger, both also good, mine was slightly sweeter. One of the best sushi I have had so definitely will be back! There are a few other locations as well- one in Naperville, in Lincoln Square, and Grand Ave.

    A solid 2.5-3 stars but not more. I would actually consider it significantly overrated on yelp. The atmosphere and patrons resembled more a sports bar, and I missed any touch of elegance. While I asked to be seated at the empty sushi bar, I was directed to sit at the equally empty regular bar which among other things was unpleasant for the cold ventilation blowing straight into my neck. And the food was mediocre: I never before had to add soy sauce to a seaweed salad, but it was unbearably bland without. The truffle salmon sashimi sounded like a great idea but consisted of so little and thin fish drowning in so much oil without detectable truffle flavor that it failed to be enjoyable. The cali roll's rice had barely survived a drought. The unagi nigiri was ok. The rainbow roll had thicker fish and matched the weather, but the real rainbow outside was more beautiful. No plans to come back here (unless forced).

    The happy hour menu really can't get any better, I love it here. I wasn't impressed by everything on the menu, ie. the edamame and tidal wave roll, but that lion king roll and bluetini cocktail...10/10! Service was friendly, very lively ambiance and an overall good time. This is my new go-to happy hour sushi spot for sure.

It clearly is for all their locations. Unfortunately, here at Chinatown's location, when they attempted to scan the card, the staff said it does not work and only works at the Printer's Row location. I ended up calling the Printer's Row location and had the team talk to the manager at the Chinatown location, and the manager at the Chinatown location kept their stance that it does not work, stating Printer's Row location does not know why the gift card does not work at the Chinatown location, and will not make any exceptions to accepting the gift card. Thankfully at the Printer's Row location, they are stating it's due to their system being new as they are a new location, and reason why the gift card is not working at all the locations yet which they are now working on to fix so it does not happen to any other customer moving forward. I just wish the Chinatown location showed some compassion to address the issue and still accommodate the inconvenience instead of us having to go back to the Printer's Row location to use the gift card Price: Approximately $20, not including tip for 2 people. There are lunch specials! Ambience: Indoor Seating Overall: Worst experience, especially to follow up my birthday celebration

The sushi was better than I expected, and portions were larger than I expected as well! There was no menu provided, not even after the meal, so I'm not really sure what anything was, but each course was relatively "safe" - there were no crazy fish we'd never tried or weird concoctions. Limited drink menu, but my husband enjoyed the sake tasting and I stuck with wine. The chef also provided us some of his favorite liquor to do shots with the team lol. As they said: Never drive to Q Sushi! Only complaints were that we didn't get a menu to reference, and sitting at the bar, I watched them wipe the counter with the same rag over and over without cleaning it off or even shaking the bits of rice out of it. Gave me an ick! I'd like to come back here and try the regular menu as well, since the quality was good! Definitely a good place to go for a date night or with a fun-loving small group.

From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The service was exceptional--warm, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling rushed.

The food was exceptional, with every dish beautifully prepared, thoughtfully presented, and full of flavor. The A5 Wagyu Nigiri was out of this world!!!

Thank you, Miru, for helping make our 34th wedding anniversary so wonderful.

    Rooftop dinner!! Sushi & lychee martini for the win :)…read more So this is my first time at Miru- Definitely make a reservation! This is at the Saint Regis hotel. I would definitely recommend the crispy rice. The Hamachi roll and the spicy tuna roll. The shrimp fried rice was not as tasty as I would hoped, but they have big shrimps in there, which I loved. The shrimp temporary I could've lived without it. It's just fried shrimp very flaky the sauce it comes with is actually really delicious. We kept it for the remainder of the meal. Get the lychee martini it is divine and super smooth, not like a kick in your face! The ambience here is upscale of course you must dress to impress. They have window seating since the weather wasn't permitting for us to sit on the rooftop. Our waiter was really sweet. He was kind of busy so he was forgetful a little bit but super sweet. And we celebrated my birthday there so he got me a little birthday treat for free. I would come here again for the sushi and lychee martini! The bar looks super cute to just sit out and drink and have a quick Hamachi roll. I'll be back! Separate restrooms of course it's kind of hidden in the back.

The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.
