I ordered the crispy pad Thai and felt that the sauce they put on it was too sweet, also we got the crab Rangoon that appeared to have tiny bits of carrots mixed in the filling. They were fried good and golden, but I feel like the filling was much too watery or loose for what I'm used to not sure if I would go back again. read more

The food was actually pretty good. The service was abysmal. Also, I ordered a Tito's martini that tasted like water. I told the waitress and she came back 10 minutes later and said the bar was crowded and they could not remake it. Beyond slow. We finally got our food about 5 minutes before the show time across the street. read more

Came on a cold day, if the curry wasn't enough to warm us up the drinks would be! Great service, good food, very happy we came here :) read more

Blue Taleh - Choo Chee Curry - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Quaint little restaurant in Lowell! We came in with a group of 10 and they accommodated us immediately. They staff was very attentive. They took our drink orders quickly and thankfully gave us time to look over the many menu options. There are so many amazing plutons in the menu from sushi to Thai food. We thought the food would take a long time to prepare because we had a huge group but we had all our food in less than 20 minutes! The food arrived warm. The portions were huge. I ordered the chicken pad Thai. It was so fresh & full of flavor! I couldn't eat all of it. I ate half & took the rest to go. We'll def go back when In Lowell!! read more

This spot has a blend of different cuisines in one spot. Overall food was tasty! Not too familiar with this cuisine so I can't comment on how traditional this spot is. Spot is great for both small and large groups. They also have a large drink menu so everyone will have something they like. Parking can be difficult since this spot is located right in downtown Lowell. read more

So delicious. The yellow curry was amazing and so flavorful. The mango sticky rice dessert was even better. The food is extremely fresh and the service is friendly. This is on my list of top restaurants in Lowell. read more

I was disappointed because my friend and I were relegated to a corner 2 seater (small table) because they were going to be busy. Several people came in after us as couples were gladly given a large table. Makes no sense. We got there before the restaurant was filling up. read more

fine dumplings, perhaps on the doughy side but whatever, couple bucks ea, yummy and various

The sushi and sashimi have been fantastic every time we've ordered there, and that's been nearly 20 times now.

Stay away. We had a party of 8 - with a reservation. Got there on time - about 6pm - and they were very overwhelmed. Our poor waitress looked on the verge of tears. We needed to get to a show across the street at 7:30. It took forever just to get water. I ordered just an appetizer, figuring it would be quick but it never came. Neither did my drink. Several others didn't get their full order. I tried to complain to our waitress, but she was very young, VERY overwhelmed, and very under trained. When I tried to find a manager to complain to, the highest I got was the bartender. One of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. Stay away from this place, there's much better eateries in Lowell. read more

We had lunch here. They had indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered a couple of Thai dishes and some sushi. Food was good and we will visit again when we're in the area. read more

Thai food good. Japanese food, no thanks. This is a thai restaurant run by Thai people and they make good Thai food. The pad Thai was very sweet and very delicious probably one of my top five pad Thai's ever. The crazy noodle was good but the beef was sinewy and grisly. Maybe I'm a little biased cuz I'm from Japan but the nabiyaki udon was nothing like I've ever had before and the soup was too light in my professional opinion. The chirashi was pretty good except for the fish being all frozen and the slices being too big. My sister's biggest complaint was that it was on a plate and not in a bowl as is the tradition of Japan. She also said the rice was meh and i concur with her. read more

Came here on a Tuesday and unfortunately they were extremely understaffed. Very very long wait to put in orders and for orders to come, by the time the food came it was cold and not very tasty. They also did not get our order correct and staff was not friendly (we assume because of being overwhelmed). Maybe we would have enjoyed in different circumstances but if this place has more than a few parties seated, I'd recommend you find some place else that is adequately staffed. read more

OMG, if I thought the Kiss of Fire was good, then HOLD ON TO YOUR SOCKS FOR THE************ ************VOLCANO ROLL******************************* $15.95 It was absolute perfection. Now mind you, I'm already familiar with volcano rolls and I know they come topped with an ambrosia of Krab, spicy mayo and roe. Its the best part in my opinion. But if you don't like, sayyyy spicy mayo, the def avoid. My boyfriend wouldn't even try a bite, but damn was my tongue singing. The roll is HUGE, like MASSIVE and the topping plentiful. At $15.95 its both the most expensive and the best Volcano roll I've ever had. I will be back. Tried the Crab rangoon, they were just "OK". Stick with the sushi, nom nom nom. My boyfriend ordered the cashew nut chicken extra spicy and they were very accommodating. I can't wait to be back. It's NOT cheap, which is a bummer but you get the quality you pay for. read more

I typically have decent experience with Blue Taleh. The restaurant is nice inside, clean and friendly. However, lately I'm just getting takeout. The last experience was very, very poor. I ordered online and it took the order and notified me that I would get an email telling me when the food would be ready, so I waited 30 mins. for the email. It never came, so I drove to the restaurant. Once inside, I was met by the hostess who had a puzzled look on her face when she notified me that the online ordering wasn't working and she asked to take my order then. I gave my order and waited at the empty bar. I waited for 40 mins. (the restaurant was half full) and nobody asked me if I wanted anything or even offered a free drink for my troubles. The food came and I left. The ordeal took me 90 minutes. AND, on top of all of that.....while the food tasted good, it put me on the toilet for the next hour. That's a great Thursday night! read more

My favorite place to go to get sushi....the crab Rangoon is super yummy as well. I love to come here because there are so many options to choose from on the menu & they always have someone on the piano at night which sounds so lovely!!!! read more

We decided to eat here because we were going to a show that was local. Hadn't been here before but the previous yelp review sounded promising. We got to sit outside by the canal, and it was very enjoyable and inviting. Our waiter was absolutely adorable and extremely helpful. Loved your wild boar bracelet. We got some sushi for appetizer and then got choo Chee tofu and some rice. Everything was really good, and very surprisingly not too hot. Just right. Wish we had a chance to sample drinks, but we didn't this time. We will definitely be back to try some more read more

Food was good to very good = all courses. The service was friendly and welcoming but a little sparse. We went for a family celebration so we had a decent party = 8 - no problems accommodating. The ambiance was bright and clean. Parking can be a little bit of a struggle depending on time. Location is really starting to boom. read more

All I have to say is I've had had sushi here a few times now and it is incredible. I dined in person one time and the other times were delivery. The service is always fast. Their sushi is probably some of the best sushi I've ever had, and I've had a lot of sushi. Their maki rolls are creative, fresh and delicious. I never want to order sushi from other places anymore because theirs is easily the best in the area. My husband also loves the curry dishes. Love Blue Taleh! read more

Blue Taleh - Kiss of Fire and Alaskan Maki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Best Sushi I've had in Massachusetts so far. Every sushi restaurant will have similar ingredients, but this place really knew how to prepare the rice, and everything had that crisp and clean taste I look for in sushi. Cocktails weren't stingy and reasonably priced! Chili duck was to die for. They were packed but service was speedy!!! Definitely going to stop back even though it's almost an hour from my house. read more

We set our reservation for 90 minutes before a show one block away. We got drinks after 45 minutes which was 30 minutes after the order was taken. By 75 minutes out food was still not brought out. My wife headed to the show as I tried to get our server. They charged me for everything and I did not have the time to argue the bill. They gave me a $25 gift card which is really bupkiss because that is about a possible future and this evening. Don't plan to be back any time soon. Sad. It looks like it might be good food but poorly managed. Poor customer service. read more

Great sushi and the best pad Thai ever! Never a huge fan of the service but the food makes up for it. Plus great prices as well! Steve the owner is awesome. read more

I have been a fan for years. Today we had the best food and kindest service. Madeline was so very kind and attentive. The food was stellar as always and you cannot ask for better cocktails. Thank you so much to the staff at BT. read more

Great food! Chicken Satay was amazing! Our waitress was excellent and nice! Highly recommended!

Ate here for the first time with my wife. She had the Sweet Basil Stir Fry, I the Noodle Pad Thai with Scallops. The food was good, fresh, and affordable. Also, the restaurant itself is nice inside. The reason it didn't get 4 starts was because we had to keep asking for things as the staff kept forgetting. read more

Really good food! The service was great. I went for lunch without a reservation and they were able to seat a party of 6 right away. It wasn't very busy. I ordered the chicken udon and it was very good! It was large so I was able to save it for a second meal as well! read more

Blue Taleh - Chicken Udon Soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Blue Taleh is a solid four-star place. We have been both dining in and getting takeout for a number of years now. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. The drinks are decent, too, when dining in. We find their pad Thai particularly delicious. There is something about the sauce--just great, with a little hint of Thai seasoning. It's really a nice combo that's definitely steps above your standard Thai takeout. I've gotten the coconut chicken soup some of the times we've ordered takeout. Sometimes it's out of this world. Sometimes the chicken is so-so, but the broth is always good. They have gluten free menu options! Yeah, it's probably a little on the pricier for Lowell, but I think their quality of food merits the cost. If you want to dine in, sometimes you can grab a table without a reservation, but parking in the area really sucks. We love Blue Taleh! read more

Had a really negative experience here once and didn't write a review because it's typically great food. However a group and I returned and had a worse experience. We were the only table in the restaurant besides a table of two. The waitress only came by once to get our drinks and get our appetizer. We had to wave down or request service for further food or drink refills (we were not in a rush either which made the wait more frustrating). The food was okay but the wait and lack of service made it an awful night out especially since the restaurant is not cheap. To boot our waitress came over and asked why we only tipped 12% which was insulting since we were meant to feel like the bad guys despite her not being attentive. I can appreciate restaurants being short staffed but we were one of two tables with what appeared to be 4+ front of house staff. read more

While there are less expensive places to enjoy sushi, Thai, or cocktails in Lowell, none offer all three along with the modern atmosphere, excellent service, attention to detail, and fresh ingredients of Blue Taleh. As an added bonus, it's also one of the only restaurants where you can enjoy a view of the canal indoors or out, day or night (weather dependent of course), creating a truly unique atmosphere in the downtown area. A perfect first meal at Blue Taleh would easily be a Bento Box lunch which allows you to sample several familiar Thai and Japanese favorites while leaving you quite full for a very reasonable price. And if the little paper rose on the top of your straw doesn't give you at least a small sense of delight, than you really need to spend more time with your inner child. read more

We have been dinning at Blue Taleh for a few years now. Tonight we stopped in for dinner before a Play. My wife got the shrimp pad Thai. The dish was tasty, but the shrimp were over cooked to the point where they were tuff to chew. We informed the waitress and she took them back, but returned the same ones, with no apology, stating that that's how we cook them. No alternatives were offered. We asked to see the manager and were told that she was too busy. I then got up and went back to the manager, Po. After having me wait a few minutes she stated the same: "that's how we cook them". No concern that we were displeased, no apology, just blatant indifference. I told her we had been coming here for some time, but would not be back. She could have cared Less... read more

Overly sweet crispy pad Thai(highly don't recommend) , iced coffee, and Thai iced tea. Something so simple became unpalatable. Yellow curry and sushi was 'decent' enough. Save your money and go somewhere else. Shout-out to my doordash driver for being on time though. read more

This is such a great restaurant! We have been coming here for years and the food is always delicious! The sushi is amazing and so are all the other options like Pad Thai. The drinks are also great.

Atmosphere: very nice, clean, modern and well kept. Service: not the best, it was okay.... she seemed not happy to be working. Food: food was OK.

Been here at least 10 times in the last year. Have come with friends, family, even for business meetings. Tonight your manager on duty refused to remove an appetizer that never came and two drinks that were all syrup. The service was "cute" but we quickly realized that service was going to be the poorest ever. Never had an issue with food or service in the past. To Igor the food was great but the service left too much to be desired. If the manager had come over and addressed our issues it would have been a bit more palatable. To future patrons, I hope your experiences are as positive as mine have been in the past. Happy New Year. read more

I went there for lunch when working in Lowell, and this place was highly recommended by the staff. When I went there, it was empty, so I jumped on the bar, ordered a dragon roll ( check the picture I uploaded) and the spicy tuna. It arrived relatively fast, and the Sushi chef created his masterpiece right in front of me. The Miso soup came first, light and flavorful. Then the sushi, the sushi was fresh undoubtedly, and I gave this place one whole star for presentation. The place was has a cosy yet modern feel to it and I can see myself coming back for dinner or a night out. I heard they are well know for their martini's and they have a special every so often. All top shelf alcohol, ready for the perfect martini....Happy hour will be my next stop read more

Blue Taleh - My sushi plate - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

I was so excited when I looked at the menu and saw that they served Chicken Coconut soup- one of my favorites! It was so good and just the right amount of spicyness. I got that with two maki rolls. The place is a little small. I got there a little early for dinner and it was filling up quickly. I'd suggest getting there early or calling ahead if you want to avoid a wait (there isn't much space inside to wait for a table either). The service was pretty slow. I had my soup before I even got my drink (and I had been waiting a while for my soup). Once I finished my meal, they took my empty plate away quickly, but I had to wait a good 15 minutes before they even brought my check. read more

Blue Taleh - Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Pleasantly surprised at the quality. Nice location for Lowell (in the more gentrified downtown area) and there is street parking and a garage in walking distance. Inside the decor is pleasant, though the open kitchen detracts from it. The live piano music is enjoyable if just a bit loud. Would recommend the Romance Sake, its unfiltered and has a richer taste and texture. Also got a good Thai Iced Tea, a bit short but tasty. Both the kitchen and sushi bar options are great. The appetizer sampler is enough for 2 to share and is great. For sushi options I'd recommend the volcano maki. Haven't had a chance to try out the more traditional sushi as I wanted to feel out quality on cooked items. Service has varied but is generally good. In all likelihood my most recent visit we had a new server still learning the ropes. read more

My wife and I stopped in for a drink after dinner because this place used to mix a reliably good drink. Sadly, our $15 Chambord Margarita was light on Chambord and heavy on sour mix. I'd chalk it up to an inexperienced bartender but it was mixed by the owner so, probably not that. I guess shrinkflation is everywhere. read more
