My hubby and I stopped in during happy hour for a quick lunch, and Blue did not disappoint! Since it was our first visit, our server, Sarah, walked us through the menu and surprised us with a couple of her favorites. Everything was amazing. We'd never tried sashimi before, so Sarah brought us the yellowtail serrano. We were surprised by how much we loved it! Between the great service, delicious food, cool atmosphere, and clean restrooms, we know we'll be back. read more

Always a great experience here. I've been to their other locations in Omaha and Kansas City. Wonderful service! We love Justin! Sushi and sashimi is always fresh and yummy. Highly recommend the Hot Popper. read more

Great experience for out first time here. We went out to celebrate our anniversary and this place was the perfect spot. Our waitress was super attentive made great recommendations and the manager on duty was phenomenal. They sent out some surprise items I wouldn't have picked out on my own and they definitely made good choices. My favorite is the truffle salmon, I love sashimi and it hit the spot. Next favorite was the iguana it had a good refreshing taste and the tempura came out hot and tasty. Spanish fly was pretty good but next time I will shoot for more spicy and try the Godzilla. The cowgirl reminds me of a hamburger with rice and was a fun surprise. We will happily be back here in the near future. read more

It was good but definitely not set up for kids, they definitely didn't set us in a spot knowing and seeing us with our stroller we didn't go during busy hours due to the fact that we had our kids. Food wise it was 7/10. I felt rushed through my meal by the staff. And the drink mocktails were probably 3/10 I was super thirsty so I drank my first one very quickly then ordered a second to see if I could taste it, it was bland. But the strawberry lemonade they offered to make my daughter was so good and extremely kind of them. So definitely go for your own experience just be aware if you have kids it's not easy ( I have a baby & toddler). read more

Really nice sushi spot in Surprise! Loved their happy hour as the menu had a great variety of options and everything was reasonably priced. The sashimi selection wasn't my favorite, but the sushi rolls definitely made up for it. Overall, a great experience and a solid 4 out of 5! read more

We came here with four of us and it was an early night. We got reservations at 6 PM and I ordered the China doll cocktail. It was absolutely delicious and had amazing flavors to it. We then ordered some sashimi and some maki rolls. My favorite was the green eggs and Hana maki roll. It was actually to die for we even ordered it another time later when we stayed there this is a really good spot next to a lot of shopping another restaurants highly recommend it. read more

What a beautiful restaurant. We made a reservation and we were seated right away. **Know that parking can be a little tough so just know that going in. Miso soup is by far my favorite thing in the world but I just didn't love it. There was a little bit of a smell that didn't sit right with me. My husband on the other hand loved it! I couldn't pinpoint the flavor that I didn't care for. Crispy Brussel Sprouts - deep fried super greasy and just not great. The both of us didn't like it. Now, the Mango Crab Rangoon - husband loved them! Husband loved the Lion King Roll I had the Philly Roll. It was good. We do want to go back as the menu is huge. Our friends raved about Blue - so I wanted to try it, not blown away but I will give it another try. read more

Love Blue! Always a choice that never disappoints! For me, it's the raspberry mojito and rolls on rolls. My non-sushi family goes for the lettuce chicken wraps every time! The patio is our go to spot so we can witness all the action in Prasada. Dog friendly patio is a major +, and they have the cutest lil stainless steel water bowls. Loved Blue in Nebraska and thrilled to see them in Surprise. read more

Service was fantastic! I so appreciated the attention and the atmosphere. Clean, mid level noise. It wasn't too loud and could have a conversation without a problem. Food.. great presentation, good time order to table. However, for the price, it was lacking quality and flavor. Portion sizes.. leave a lot to be desired. I would have liked larger portions for the price. These had a ln interesting aftertaste, almost like wasabi powder for spice. There has been a bit better value for the money in other places. read more

Solid, solid, solid sushi. Very, very good service by Izzy (ask for her table). They had Kiren beer on draft which was a good start. Note to management, the Kiren could be colder. It was cool but not as cold as I would like. The Edamame was very good! Came seasoned with garlic with a splash of spicyness, get this. Also had the Calamari and it was very good. We had two roles - Thriller and Lion King rolls. Both were fresh and did not disappoint. Hack, if you tend to get cold in a restaraunt bring a sweater. My wife froze through most of the our dinner as we sat in the booth to the right of the front door as you walk in and it was like an ice box, even on a warm day. Highly recommend this place! read more

Returning to Blue Sushi Sake Grill only confirmed why we keep coming back. This visit was just as enjoyable as the last! We took advantage of their happy hour, which is one of the best values around. We ordered the Tidal Wave Roll, the Shrimp Tempura Roll, and, of course, our all-time favorite, the shishito peppers. The peppers are consistently flavorful with just the right amount of char, and they're a must-order every time we visit. The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The Tidal Wave Roll was a standout, while the Shrimp Tempura Roll delivered the perfect balance of crunch and freshness. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was attentive, and the happy hour made the experience even better. It's always nice to return to a restaurant and find the quality and consistency are still there. We'll definitely be back again! read more

We came in for happy hour which I thought offered a great selection of sushi, apps, and drinks. The china doll cocktail wasn't very strong but I loved the flavor that the jasmine tea gave the drink. As for sushi we decided to try a handful of things on the happy hour menu. I didn't find the mango crab ragoons to have that much of a mango flavor. I saw the mango sauce but there was not enough of it. We tried the lion king roll, the tidal wave roll, the crunchy blue roll, and the Cabo roll. I was not a huge fan of the crunchy blue or the Cabo. They are very simple rolls but I was disappointed in the amount of tuna in my Cabo roll. I have honestly never had a roll with such a tiny amount of fish before but for the price I can't complain. We loved the lion king roll though! We ordered a second one. The service was overall good. I would say for how slow the restaurant seemed it took a little while to get us seated. It also took a little while for a host to make their way over but from there on I feel like the service was good and the food came out in a timely manner. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and really cute inside! read more

We've been to the Blue Sushi in Tempe but the paid parking is annoying, so we thought we'd take a day trip to Surprise and check out some thrift/antique stores while out west. To start - the drive there from north central Phoenix is unpleasant. We meandered through surface streets and got lost a few times, but we made it eventually. Next time (if there is one) we'll take the longer freeway route. The layout/feel is the same as Tempe - well decorated, open, comfortable and a touch chilly. We were seated immediately and our waiter was right on the spot. We went for their Veganuary specials but ended up ordering of the extensive all day happy our menu instead. I got the vegan lettuce wraps while my husband ordered the Eden rolls - both vegan. I also got a Night Swim saki. My lettuce wraps came out quickly and were perfect. I really love them! The tofu is prepared well - cooked but not dry - and it's just delicious. However, I was almost done with my meal by the time my husband's rolls came out. They were not slammed - it was mid-afternoon on a Tuesday and only maybe five other tables seated. We were near the sushi area so we saw our waiter check twice - it wasn't his fault - they were just really slow. Thusly, minus one star from my review. When they did arrive - they were great. No worries there. But it did seem a bit excessive. Our waiter was apologetic and put up with our talk story for a bit. Overall, we'll go back for the vegan options, but probably to Tempe. read more

One and done, although edible we will not go back. Although tolerable there is far better sushi with absolutely " no comparison" to Trappers. Trappers is in its own separate league of greatness. Whoever made that review has not had Trappers. And since I'm being honest, I'll tell you why. The 3 rolls we ordered were either made early in morning or day before. Yesterday's sushi served at Blue Sushi is just that - the taste, texture refrigerated dried out rice coldness of yesterday's leftovers. Service was slow. We sat for 10 minutes, asked for menu and after another 5 minutes we had to get up and walk to front desk to get our menu. Hence several other requests were yet another 5-10 minute delays. I have to say the 2 stars are more for the restaurant's cleanliness, upbeat music, beautifully designed Asian feel and center piece being the liquor bar. As well, I was impressed with the presentation of our sushi rolls but again a false representation for they were refrigerated cold, old-dried out rice, leftover taste. Sadly, no showcase of the area where the chef's are suppose to be at work for which there was only one chef behind the counter, during our 90 minute meal, further proving my point the sushi is not made to order, not fresh. That one chef we observed was to perhaps sprinkle the nuts or topper of selected sushi varieties. I believe my review is important - this restaurant is NOT comparable to Trapper's. Trapper's is 5 star, freshly made with a 6 or more chefs actively slicing dicing engaging with customers and tending their freshly made sushi rolls behind the counter. read more

I really wanted to like Blue Sake Grill, but this was some of the worst sushi I've had. Even the specialty rolls were completely one-note -- bland, boring, and lacking any real flavor or creativity. Nothing stood out. I've had better sushi in places that don't specialize in it--- that's saying something. For the price and the hype, I expected much better. Unfortunately, there was nothing special about the experience, and I wouldn't return. read more

This was our first time to this restaurant and really enjoyed our experience. The wait staff was friendly and decor and ambience in this place was upscale / modern. We had the ceviche as an appetizer which was fresh and tasty along with some spicy edamame. We tried a few different sushi rolls and loved the fact that they have an all day happy hour on Sunday's with a wide variety of items to choose from. We ordered so much I forgot to take note of which rolls specifically we had but all were tasty and plentiful. The miso soup was also a great start to the meal. Definitely recommend this place and would come back again. read more

Great place. Very posh decor, loved it actually. Chairs that were not booths, looked dreadfully uncomfortable. I was in a booth, but I will only sit in a booth, in the future. Our server was pleasant. I've been here a few times now. The sushi and nigiri and service are all good! read more

had lunch for one and food was incredible! So many rolls on the menu i've never seen before. Tried the San Marcos Roll and the Brussels Sprouts. Both were absolutely incredible 10/10. China Doll drink was served beautifully by Eric and tasted delicious. I gotta go again to try more rolls read more

Wow. Amazing experience all around. From the host to the sushi chefs and everyone in between, we were treated so well. We happened to catch Ryan, the corporate chef, who clearly leads an exceptional team. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. I especially liked the extensive vegan options. This is definitely our new sushi spot. I'm shocked no one else was sitting at the sushi bar on a Friday night, because we had so much fun talking with the chefs. See you all next week! read more

I am glad that they don't always recognize me here yet, but this is one of my favorite places to come and eat at. I'm glad they did the veganuary this year I think last year it was just the Phoenix location. Regardless I always have great service here no matter who I can convince to tag along with me. I appreciate the large menu they have for everyone I've managed to help even the pickiest eaters find something to get here while I go crazy on their expansive vegan offerings. The foods always fresh and taste great. The staff is always attentive and helpful and don't make me feel silly when I come without friends or family or when they've seen me come within a few short days of my last visit. Seems like a great place to work too as everyone always seems to be in such a great mood even when they've been obviously busy. Always coming back. read more

This visit to blue sushi sake Grill was average at best. I've been multiple times and have had a better experience. Today we came on a Sunday which has all day happy hour. I honestly don't feel the happy hour menu is as strong as I would expect or want. And that's my fault and it's very limited overall from each category and it might be a couple bucks here and there that you save. With that, we opted to have a few items off of the happy hour menu, but the rest was off the main menu. We did not have any alcohol/cocktails. We had the Cabo roll in LA roll, thriller, tuna tower, lettuce, wraps, and the coconut crab soup. The soup is always the best. However, I will say we did order one to go and it came in when I thought was a smaller container than the actual presentation in the restaurant in a black bowl. I could be totally wrong, but I guess observation and perception is everything. We definitely did not care for the thriller roll and and would not order that again. Service was friendly and professional, and started out attentive, but towards the end of the meal waned off a little. We had to wait for longer periods for check backs and have our plates removed and we never received any water refills although we were asked multiple times if we wanted a soda refill. Cool vibes great music. We sat at a table along the garage window doors, but the sun was blasting through it and by the end of our meal towards 3:30 PM we were cooking. We probably would've moved sooner in our meal had we anticipated this. There's a large variety of Nigiri, sushi, and including vegan and vegetarian options, which are great. However, I feel some of the rolls are just the same components with a different sauce, for example tuna or crab mix, and then top with ponzu or an eel sauce it's basically the same thing. We probably would come back as it's convenient. Parking in the entire center can be challenging so bring your patience. read more

Everything's fresh and delicious and the server was attentive and accommodating. Love the atmosphere and the drinks are yummy good too.

I first tried this franchise in Omaha, NE 2 years ago and I have raved about it ever since. The closest one to me is in Ohio, which is about an 8 hour drive, so once I heard this opened up near my sister in Peoria, I told her immediately this is where I wanted to go when I visit her. I remember loving the charred edamame, and while it was still good, this one was way too salty. I don't remember it being salty before so not sure if this was a bad batch we got or if it's always that salty. My favorite thing about it though is the crispy garlic and charred flavor. The rolls were just as amazing as I remembered. As a vegetarian, it makes me so happy to have such unique vegan options! Of the two I got, the Thai Hippie was my favorite (and was last time too). I also got the China Doll cocktail, which was so cute and super refreshing. I don't like drinks that taste like alcohol and this one definitely didn't, nor was it too sweet. I know I'll be going here again next time I'm in town! read more

We made a reservation beforehand for 11am for a party of 3 on a Saturday. Wasn't busy at all when we got there. They had happy hour going on and the server was super friendly and helpful suggesting maki. Happy hour runs basically the entire time the place is open--11am-6:30pm Monday-Saturday & all day Sunday). We ended up getting the crunchy blue, tidal wave, and lion king. We also got 3 miso soups, a strawberry lemonade & a kids chicken tender meal. Food came out super quick and was priced super great. Ambiance is super cute in there. Loved all the decor and openness. Would definitely come back! read more

Excellent sushi and excellent food. The atmosphere was very relaxed. Our server was great as well. Shareables: Our favorite was the char grilled edamame. Something unique that we have not had anywhere else. The flavor was Amazing! The shishito peppers were delicious and there were definitely a few that were very spicy. The mango crab rangoons were not too sweet and the mango sauce was perfect with it. Sushi: Cherry Bomb was a bit of a let down as it sounds like it will be spicy, and there was really no heat. Good flavors though. Our kids got The Hawaiian. It was okay, but the kids loved it and the sauce it came with. The Rainbow roll, a classic that delivered. The freshness of the fish was spot on. The Tidal Wave was another one for the kids that they loved. Our two favorite rolls. The Crunchy LA and the Lion King. The sweet chili sauce on the Crunchy LA was problematically delicious. The Lion King had so many things that worked. Both were incredibly well balanced. The Gin and Ginger was fantastic. Sometimes Gin can be a little much but this was mild and came together wonderfully. Great happy hour deals! read more
