If I had to summarize the restaurant in one sentence, I'd say it's a perfectly acceptable steak and sushi house with good service and fair prices, but the quality of the food didn't fully live up to the way it was presented or advertised. First, I want to give credit where it's due. The staff was genuinely friendly throughout the evening. From the moment we walked in, everyone was welcoming, attentive, and professional. Drinks were refilled consistently, food came out at a reasonable pace, and the servers checked in enough to make sure things were going well without becoming intrusive. In today's world, good customer service feels harder and harder to find, so I absolutely appreciated the effort the staff put into making the experience pleasant. The atmosphere was also about what you would expect from a modern steak and sushi restaurant. It had a nice energy to it, clean dining areas, decent lighting, and a casual upscale vibe that worked well for a dinner out. Pricing was another positive. Compared to many steak houses today, the menu prices felt relatively reasonable. Nothing seemed outrageously overpriced, especially considering they also offer sushi and a broader menu than a traditional steakhouse. If you are looking for a place that won't completely destroy your wallet for a night out, this place lands somewhere in the middle ground. Not cheap, but not painfully expensive either. That said, the biggest issue for me was the steak itself. I ordered what was advertised as a filet, and honestly, I left questioning whether it truly was filet mignon. Anyone who regularly eats filet knows it is typically one of the leanest and most tender cuts of beef available. The steak I received was surprisingly fatty, with a texture and appearance that felt much more like a lower-grade sirloin or another less expensive cut. I understand that marbling can vary, and I'm not expecting perfection every single time, but this felt noticeably off from what should reasonably be expected when ordering a filet. To be clear, the steak was not terrible. It was edible, cooked reasonably close to the requested temperature, and had decent flavor overall. But when a restaurant advertises a premium cut of beef, customers naturally expect that cut to match the description. That disconnect between expectation and reality was the biggest disappointment of the night for me. It honestly felt more like a steakhouse serving "good enough" versions of premium items rather than truly delivering premium quality. The sushi was fine, though nothing especially memorable. Fresh enough, decent presentation, and about what you would expect from a restaurant trying to balance both steakhouse and sushi menus under one roof. No major complaints there, but also nothing that would specifically make me return for the sushi alone. At the end of the day, this place falls into the category of "solid but forgettable." If you go in expecting a casual steak and sushi dinner with decent service and fair pricing, you will probably leave satisfied enough. But if you are specifically going for a high-end steak experience or expecting true steakhouse-quality filet mignon, you may end up disappointed like I was. Would I come back? Maybe, but I'd probably try something different on the menu next time instead of ordering the filet again.

Came across the blue flame (not to be confused with the blue flame in East Wenatchee which seemed more like a teriyaki joint and was horrible!). Kind of a hole in the wall location (looks like an old tavern or something). Staff was very friendly! The steamed gyoza was delicate and delicious! We also enjoyed the honey walnut prawns and sweet and sour chicken- tender, juicy and full of flavor! The fried rice was a complete bust for me- hubby said it was just ok. Also sampled some nigiri which was Devine. The fish was good quality and melted in your mouth. Wouldn't say the portions are huge or anything (but prices are very affordable)- didn't come home with any leftovers besides the fried rice lol But we will definitely be back!!!! Update: we've been in many times now and it's always great- hands down our favorite restaurant in the area! We love the staff, they are all so sweet and enthusiastic! The Nigiri may quite possibly be the BEST I've ever had and I'm kind of a sushi snob. Nice pieces of fish on the perfect amount of rice (not too much!). The spicy edamame is a fan favorite as well! Sad to be heading home to the west side soon, we will definitely miss this place- until next time!

I ordered chicken as the protein for the rice but had to really look for any of the tiny chicken pieces. My wife ordered the smoked salmon roll they advertised as their daily special. It came out and it was not smoked salmon. It was completely raw salmon. She cannot eat raw salmon. We wanted to point this out to our waitress but she never came back to our table after dropping the food off. We picked at our food as best we could for a while waiting for our waitress and the tab. She never showed so we went to the cashier desk and told the lady where we sat so she could get our tab. She was quite grumpy that we didn't have our ticket. My wife pointed out that she was not able to eat the raw salmon and even showed the cashier the special on the board that says smoked salmon. The grumpy lady just mumbled something as she turned to run my card. She did not adjust the bill in any way or even simply apologize for the mistake. So we paid full price for a meal that was not eaten and 1 meal that was picked at looking for the chicken in the gross rice. Will not return ever even if I had a gift card. Just plain awful.

We come to Chelan a lot, but have never tried this teriyaki place (we usually go to the Quick Wok). We called in the order to go, the lady that answered was very friendly and repeated my order back. Unfortunately when we got our food in the vehicle the smell was off, let's just say it didn't smell like teriyaki. We ordered- the gyoza's, spring rolls, chicken teriyaki, and beef/chicken combo. The ONLY thing that was ok was the spring rolls. The chicken was rubbery, as was the beef. The rice was very mushy, and a very small portion. The gyoza's tasted stale, and smelled like it was cooked in last weeks oil. I hate leaving negative reviews but this was such a disappointment! I wouldn't ever try this place again! read more
