Stopped in this week after an event for an easy dinner since the rolls are decent. We went ahead and sat at the bar. My friend ordered sake which came out fairly quick. I had asked for water as we ordered food. What's funny is that water took literally longer than the food to come out while there were two bartenders both of which we asked for glasses of water. Typically I could get past that without a word. But the fact that they were doing other things instead of a simple water was frustrating. The rolls were chose were good. Liked the soy paper on each of the options along with the peppers we had.

LETTUCE WRAPS

I was originally passing by this restaurant on my way to another spot, but it caught my eye, so I decided to turn around and give it a try. As soon as we walked in, the host greeted us warmly and seated us very quickly. Our server, Tim, was AMAZING! Definitely ask for him if you visit. He was incredibly attentive, answered all our questions, and gave us some fantastic recommendations. The restaurant itself is also absolutely beautiful inside! We ordered the ceviche, which was incredibly fresh and delicious, steamed edamame with spicy sauce on the side, lettuce wraps, and a variety of sushi. Everything was phenomenal! I'm so glad we decided to stop by. Definitely a spot I'd recommend!

Denisse was a PHENOMENAL server. Her attentiveness and ensuring we were taken care of was top tier. I also love how swiftly the food came out with such fresh ingredients. We had a plethora of menu options. We came in at 3:03 and were out by 3:40. The vibes were flowing, the service was amazing. I just truly love it here. Kudos to Denisse again for such an amazing dining experience. The Tidal wave has my heart. Lion King close second and Hotel Cali was good. I thought it would have had more of a kick with the jalapeño. However there wasn't a kick at all. Overall everything was phenomenal. The seaweed salad is by far my fav thing to order. The wontons were awesome as well. Just come in and allow your tastebuds to be the judge. We had a table full of delicious food and the bill was under $70 bucks. Well worth every penny.

おいしくて、すてきなお店です Met up with high school friends for a birthday celebration! Reservations for 5:45 pm on a Friday. Def recommend, the line was out the door to get waitlisted. Even with reservations you have to wait in line. Seated quickly after getting to the counter. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a nice easy vibe. There is a full bar as well. They have a happy hour until 6:30 pm (win). The menu is pretty organized with raw, not raw, soups and salads, and vegan options. Friend is vegetarian and has been here before so she had familiarity with the vegetarian part and said their vegan options were amazing. Order: edamame, crispy brussel sprouts, house salad, itchy salmon,Thai hippie, crunchy cabbage, hotel Cali hand roll, and spicy sake. Edamame (4/5) - served hot and lightly salted, was cooked perfectly - tender with a slight crunch Crispy brussel sprouts (4/5) - had a zesty taste and charred perfectly - no bitterness and it was a mix of tenderness and crunch House salad (3/5) - lots of crunch with the strips but would have liked a little more dressing Itchy salmon (3/5) - recommended by our server - baked salmon with crab mix; it was ok but didn't read it properly bc I thought it would be raw so my bad Thai hippie (3/5) - nice bite, a tiny spice but not overpowering Crunchy cabbage (5/5) - wanted my veggie friend to try something else and this sounded delicious and it was - cabbage is fried and topped the roll and the combo with the tofu was perfection Hotel Cali hand roll (3/5) - filling was nice, seaweed was a bit chewy for me but nice taste and presentation Spicy sake (4/5) - nice spice level with the crunch, ratio of rice to seaweed to salmon was perfect (I don't prefer heavy rice rolls) The atmosphere and the service was amazing. My memory is horrible but our server was the best seriously. She elevated our experience to the next level. I think her name was Sarah but I'm probably wrong. Dark long hair, very social, had a tattoo (web) on the back elbow area and was just fantastic. Grab her and you will be in sushi heaven. Overall had a great experience, still thinking about the crunchy cabbage roll def will return even tho I honestly am not a fan of places like MKT (I hate crowds and finding parking) don't judge me, one day you'll understand.

I liked the vibes here. They have interesting decor/art work that matched the atmosphere. There's a bunch of seating- bar seating, outdoor seating, and tables. I thought the service was excellent. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and we were greeted upon arrival from the hostess. I got a few things off of the happy hour menu for lunch. The yellowtail Serrano was very salty. I think if it wasn't as salty it would've been a better dish. All of the other dishes just weren't for my palate but I think others may enjoy it.

*CRISPY RICE CAKE

Best sushi in Houston! Always high quality and fresh. The servers are so sweet + always a fun and friendly atmosphere. Crispy Rice Cake: 10/10 Yellowtail Serrano: 10/10 (a bit spicy) Lion King: 9/10 Cherry Bomb: 8/10

We love BLUE! It's our casual go to sushi spot and they have a phenomenal happy hour! No matter how busy they are we've never had to wait long for a table and their servers are always quick/helpful. We started with the Spicy Charred Edamame, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Crispy Rice Cakes and Mango Crab Rangoons! We ordered the Cherry Bomb Nigiri which melted in your mouth! For the rolls we ordered an off the menu roll called the rodeo roll we love!!!! Along with Hotel Cali add cucumber in rice paper, Tidal Wave, Crunchy Red, Godzilla Bomb and the Crunchy LA! See y'all again soon!

I am in town and my friend suggested this place. Blue Sushi Sake Grill is a vibe. It is very chic and cute. The sushi tasted fresh and it was really good. Also ordered the chicken lettuce wraps and a whole lot of sushi. Our server was Trent and he was attentive. The hosts were kind and efficient. We came on a Sunday evening and there wasn't a wait. We sat on the patio. It was a beautiful day with ample areas to sit. The inside is too cute. They have plenty of booths and tables to sat at. Plus high tops as well as the sushi bar seating and the actual bar seating. It was a nice time. Apparently, it is dog friendly on the patio. There's plenty of parking as it is in a cute plaza.. Oh ALSO... Happy Hour Alllll Day on Sunday. Inexpensive food and drinks - for the win. However, they ran out of Aqua Panna water.

EDAMAME CHARRED- SALTED (VG)
Jade P.

Blue Sushi Sake Grill was the perfect choice for our work Bite Club, and it absolutely delivered on both the food and the vibes. We came during happy hour, which is honestly the move, and immediately went all in on the ceviche. It was fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced! Exactly what you want to start the table. The spicy roasted edamame deserves a warning label because when they say spicy, they mean spicy, but in the best way. And the mango crab rangoons were dangerously good. If you know me, you know I don't discriminate when it comes to crab rangoons, and these did not disappoint. Despite being packed, the atmosphere still felt intimate with semi-private seating that made it easy to enjoy conversation without shouting across the table. The energy was lively, the service was smooth, and everyone left with full bellies and zero regrets. I'll include photos of the rolls we ordered, but I have to give a special shoutout to the salmon skin roll which was crispyish (I think I let it sit too long), flavorful, and easily one of my favorites of the day. Overall, Blue Sushi Sake Grill was a 10/10 Bite Club experience, and we're already talking about coming back for the next one.

White Peach Daiquiri
Samantha D.

What a great restaurant! We came here on a Saturday night and it was busy but we had a reservation and got seated promptly. The restaurant is very nice, has a neat bar area and feels very trendy. Our server was great, attentive and had great recommendations. We started off with cocktails and I tried the White Peach Daiquiri which had peach boba and it was delicious! We tried the following: -Charred Edamame -Mango Crab Rangoon -Cloud Nine 2.0 -Hotel Cali -Spicy Tako Everything was so good! I cannot wait to go back!

cherry bomb nigiri
Lisa H.

Amazing! I very much enjoyed my meal here. The service is great, ambiance is nice for any occasion such as family gathering, meeting with friends, a date, etc. The happy hour and overall value of the whole meal is something I raved about after my meal and I'll definitely come back. Point 1: Happy hour is basically all day at this point.. 11AM - 6:30 PM is a great timeframe! Point 2: Good prices - I ordered 5 items and total bill came out to be $35. Point 3: It was $35 because the server took one item off the bill because of slow service (which wasn't even too slow) Now, the food: 1) Mango Crab Rangoons - good, nice crispy outside, wish there was more filling though. It was more crispy outside than inner filling. Still a good bite though. 2) Crispy rice - this was yummy, sweet spicy mayo, good spicy tuna mixture on top, crispy chew rice bottom 3) Cherry bomb - wouldn't get this one again, very similar to the crispy rice although on the menu it is a "nigiri". Good BIG piece of tuna on the top, but the bottom is crispy fried rice not really the typical sushi rice. 4) Lion King - this roll was yummy 5) Tidal Wave - also yummy, but both rolls tasted pretty similar The rolls are good and solid, but they do remind me of each other. More of that ayce sweet spicy mayo and eel sauce combo taste (if you know what I mean). Nevertheless still yummy just not very fish forward. Overall I give it 5 stars because of the experience I had there and because all the food was yummy. No bad bites.

Newton D.

Blue Sushi Sake Grill is one of the best restaurant in the MKT plaza! They serve clean, tasteful, and aesthetically sushi rolls that include unique ingredients. Additionally the food taste high quality and worth to try as much as possible. Ambiance is really clean, modern with a touch of luxury, and provides an uplifting friendly vibes. The service is very quick, attentive, and friendly. Highly recommend getting a reservation!

Came for lunch on Friday after a workout class with a friend! Service was great we were immediately sat and decided to sit on their outdoor patio because the weather was nice. I had the house salad, ceviche and lettuce wraps! The food is always phenomenal, from their rolls to starters you honestly can't go wrong

Bar Buena was a surprise find after we participated in a cooking class at Sur La Table across the…read morestreet. After the byob cooking experience, we figured "why not!?" So we walked on over to this little speakeasy and were immediately greeted by the bouncer. On a Thursday night, it was quite crowded, but were able to find the last remaining seats at the bar. We were seated at the left end of the bar, which was nice because we had our own little "nook" away from the rest of the bar. Adjacent to us was the server station - the one server tending to the tables, Marilyn, frequently came by and we immediately befriended her. She gave us excellent recommendations and provided her opinion on several drinks. Robin was the bartender who took care of us throughout the night. She was super friendly from the moment we sat down and gave us stellar recommendations on food and drinks. She was happy to tweak a couple of their seasonal drinks to our liking, and even offered to mix other drinks that weren't on the menu. Fantastic service from Robin throughout the night. I started out with Tommy's Margarita - this was just their take on a classic margarita, nothing super special. I then ordered the Oaxacan Old Fashioned - think of an old fashioned made with tequila and mezcal in lieu of bourbon. I was a bit cautious about this one since I am not a fan of mezcal, however the smoky flavor was not very apparent in this one, which was a huge plus! I also got the Ardilla - very unique drink made with mexican corn whiskey, cocoa nibs, sherry, and a milk punch. I award this drink for most unique I've had in a while, definitely give it a try if you're up for something new. To finish, I had the Cariña - their take on an espresso martini made with reposado tequila. I really liked this espresso martini - it was a great way to finish out the night and I left feeling inspired to make my espresso martinis at home using tequila now! With the little room we had left in our stomachs, we tried the Pato Tinga Memela, which was duck leg (no bone) with beans and onions and cilantro atop a memela. I haven't had memela specifically per se, but consider me a fan. It is basically a mini "cake" of masa that is pan fried to a slight crispiness. An Oaxacan speciality, where else can I find these in Houston!? We also tried the Guacamole y Tostadas. The guacamole was unique in the sense that it was Oaxacan style, so contains pepitas, pickled onions, and queso fresco. The tostadas were super crispy and reminded me of how they serve guacamole in Mexico (rather than with chips/totopos). Fun fact is that this bar is owned by Goode Company. Next door to this is Goode Co. Cantina, so it's nice that they created an adjoining restaurant + speakeasy concept within the same strip. At one point in our visit, Levi Goode was standing next to us. We didn't know until after he left and Marilyn informed us, that that was THE man. Just doing a casual check-in of his bar. We really had a good experience at Bar Buena and look forward to returning. The food menu has quite a few offerings I wanted to try had I not come from a cooking class. We were also told that the seasonal drink menu was set to change shortly after our visit, so I look forward to trying these drinks!

It's cute, moody, and has that feeling like you're not even in Houston anymore. It's not a big space, so it does get pretty loud between the music and everyone talking. The music was just okay. If you like house music, you'll probably enjoy it here. The DJ did mix in some popular hip-hop, R&B, and reggaeton songs throughout the night, which I appreciated. We started with shots that were really good. They tasted almost like a shot of honey, but unfortunately I can't remember the name. We all ordered the Dolce Limone next, which was sweet and refreshing. For the next round, my cousin got the Mango something, and I ordered the French Connection. The French Connection was awful. It tasted like straight-up cough syrup, and I couldn't even pretend to finish it. Our last round was Palomas, and those were good. In between drinks, we ordered the meat and cheese board. It was cute and made for a nice little snack, but there was nothing particularly special about the selection. The waitresses were nice, and overall we had a good time. I genuinely don't have much bad to say about the place other than the drinks. They're not bad across the board, but they're also nothing particularly special, especially for the price. There are definitely better cocktail lounges in Houston if you're looking for actual mixology and cocktails that justify the price.

Although I like the Gray St. location a little better taste wise for my dynamite shrimp, I think that the University Blvd location is easier to get a reservation. This is a really good choice for date night, a family event or a girl's night. Always nice, clean and bright. Surprisingly, the chicken Parm is one of my favorite dishes here. It's probably top two for me and I've had a lot of chicken Parm. The burger is my second choice; it is so good! One of my favorite appetizers is the Dynamite Shrimp and the salad that's under has a fire dressing that they should bottle. But overall, I've tried several things with the people I've gone with, and there's nothing bad on the menu. Definitely get a reservation in advance... This isn't really a place you can just walk in unless you're sitting at the bar and you've gotten there at a good time. Parking is valet at the gray street location. It's very hard to find regular parking there. You can find parking pretty easily at the University Blvd location. My only real complaint is the service is slow... And I've had different servers at different locations and they all don't really move with a sense of urgency. It takes them a while to get back to you so you can place an order... It takes a while for them to bring out your drinks. Overall, just slow service and that's why I deducted a star.

The cocktails were O.K, one margarita came out as tequila on the rocks, which was just ridiculous, and the staff have a basic idea of what goes into a mojito, but no real skill at making one.

She them proceeded to mean mug us for the next 45 minutes as we pushed past 90 minutes as a form of protest. We quit purchasing food, and drink and just sat there looking at her, daring her to come over and enforce her little power trip time limit. Never happened. The food was amazing, very well done. Thee waiter was amazing, he understood the mission and was tipped very well. But the bartenders, and the hostesses brough the experience down to a lowly one star.

Our server, Camille, took our order and then would disappear for 30+ minutes at a time. At one point, when we asked where she had been, she simply said she was "walking around." Her overall approach to serving us felt extremely nonchalant and inattentive. The atmosphere also made us feel as though the level of attention you receive depends on how much you're spending--particularly whether you're purchasing bottles. The servers seemed more focused on creating a bottle-service experience than providing attentive restaurant service. It gave the evening a very transactional, "pay for attention" feeling rather than genuine hospitality. What really sealed the experience for us happened after we had already paid our bill. A host approached our table and essentially said, "Can you leave now? We need to seat someone right now." There was no gracious transition, no "thank you for dining with us," and no polite explanation--just an abrupt request to leave. For a restaurant with such a beautiful ambiance and good food, the service and hospitality were incredibly disappointing. Guests should feel welcomed and valued from the moment they sit down until the moment they leave, regardless of whether they're ordering bottles.
