    2 different sushi on a platter

    Tasty sushi, very different sushi choices. Lunch menu is well priced for the portion. Staff is friendly. Clean place and lovely ambience.

    New Japanese sushi place near the AMc theater. The sushi was very well put together and fresh. We also tried their honey walnut shrimp and coconut curry with chicken. Both dishes are probably more Chinese influenced and tasted great. Service was friendly and prompt. The interior was clean with brand new furniture. Will definitely come back.

    They have a great variety of rolls to choose from. The ones we had were all great. Service was great, and cute inside.

    Such great quality sushi and a beautiful presentation Favorite place for sushi around here!

    Ate here twice since it opened. Once for the lunch specials and once for dinner. Service was great and food was delicious. Will definitely be back soon.

    Tnt roll, butterfly roll

    Everything was really good quality and the restaurant was very clean, I will definitely be back, Lili was so nice and gave great suggestions, wonderful appetizers, sushi and meals, the boba was authentic flavors.

Staff members are extremely kind and accommodating. I have a shrimp allergy and they made sure to not have any type of cross contamination. The restaurant itself is pretty dated, however, this is exactly what I wanted. This is the perfect place to dress casual or even dress up, but I was in the mood to just chill and have some excellent sushi. A friend and I shared 4 rolls - mango tango, tuna lover, Ogden avenue roll, and the great Naperville roll. Everything was delicious and fresh. I would order all of these rolls again and I probably will! I'm also looking forward to trying their entire menu. It's that dang goooooood.

One standout for me was the spicy hamachi maki. You almost never see hamachi offered spicy (it's usually just tuna or salmon), and it was excellent, easily my favorite roll. On top of the food, the staff was beyond friendly and sweet. Everyone was welcoming and attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    Blue is a damn, damn good place to go. The vegan options are wide and varied (Hello full vegan…read moremenu), and most importantly - good. It is a bit pricey as it is a downtown Naperville location, but it fits for a lot of family activities that tend to match what I do: friends in Bartlett, swimming events nearby, etc. They have two(!) nice outdoor seating areas in addition to lots of space inside - making this a great consideration for summer. I've been here at least 2 if not 3 times now, and I will be coming again. Happy hour menu during Happy hour (which I believe is Sunday) is well worth it. I found my photos for both days, and added them. I do appreciate they have the qr code stuff for paying at the table as well. I'll write more and update the next time I visit, but Blue *is* a good place to go. A good, vegan friendly place to go in specific.

When I go out with my infant I usually bring a stroller. Places have been hit or miss when I bring it in, but thankfully Blue Sushi Sake Grill had no issues with it. They placed my group in a spot where no one would be reaching over or around my baby. I greatly appreciated this! The options for happy hour are large, probably the best happy hour menu I've seen, EVER. The deals included drinks and food. I tried the white peach daiquiri and it was refreshing. It was a bit on the artificial side but overall I really liked it. It comes with boba which I found super fun for this drink. For food we tried the calamari and 4 different rolls. I don't normally like fried calamari but from Blue I LOOOOVED it. It was crispy, tasty and also comes with veggies. All the rolls were delicious too. A friend suggested we try the cowgirl roll and surprisingly it was so good! Reminded me of a cheeseburger in sushi form, super fun! This is a spot I see myself being frequent and recommending to others.

    It's frustrating where this store is located because it's usually congested. I live on the north…read moreside which isn't far but having to deal with the traffic honestly keeps me from going, sometimes especially if I just need a few things. First world problems. Anyway, everything about the store is a win for me. I love the selection of produce, but sometimes they do run very low on things. They do offer a lot of products that are hard to find elsewhere and the quality is always really good . I don't go out of my way for organic, but they definitely have a really big selection Since Covid, I don't do hot bars, but they're premade meals are decent like the prime rib for like 10 bucks I found some of the best deals on really high-quality meat I've never been good at cooking steaks, but grabbed a Wagyu strip steak there for half off and it was easily the best thing I've ever made my family like their plates. Yes they're savages, but even they don't usually go that far. They have great selections of cheeses and ethnic spices that are hard to find in an actual supermarket so it's nice not to have to go to 20 different places. I love to cook, which means sometimes I need small amounts of spices if I'm trying something new so it's nice to be able to get most of them there. I think they originated in Ohio, so it's nice to see some of the Kroger offering since I lived there as a kid so it's nostalgic. The neighbor people that hanging out with the bar freaked me out a little bit not gonna lie. I don't get it. I can get behind one and have a drink as you walk through a grocery shopping but to go hang out at the grocery store for no reason, but to sit there and drink as people try to navigate their carts around you... yeah.... Weird. Sorry. Now here's what I definitely don't understand. Their cakes are so underrated unless I've just been walking through life with sunglasses in the AirPods. I have never heard anyone talk about how good their bakery is. They have a huge selection of premade stuff that isn't really their brand but the cupcakes that are made in the store and the cakes they make are incredible. The frosting for their buttercream, you can tell has actual butter in it most grocery stores around here for buttercream seem like they use shortening. I think Mariano's is fantastic and will definitely consider them when I need to order cakes in the future. The people there are also really helpful. My favorite is the woman that supervises the self checkout. She's incredibly friendly and helpful. She doesn't always come across that way initially because she doesn't seem outgoing but she really is great. I definitely say just throw this on your list of regular spots to shop.

    I enjoy shopping at this store. One of the biggest reasons is that it is clean. You would think…read morethat to be a given for a grocery store ~ but that is not always the case. Just as I had begun my shopping, one of the employees ( and I wish I had gotten her name) came up to me with a new shopping cart that did not have wonky wheels. Totally unexpected. In their bakery section, there is a shelf marked for Irish Soda Bread. It was empty so I we and spoke to one of the bakery employees and was told they no longer make the soda bread. In the past they have carried it, year round. I guess now they will limit it to St. Patrick's Day. Bummers ~ bring back the soda bread. Not having shopped there in a while, I was pleasantly surprised to see they are back to providing grocery bags. I did bring my own ~ but won't have to in the future.

We were seated immediately upon arrival and placed our order shortly after. Our waiter recommended 2-3 tapas per person. A quick tip: if you order a paella, order fewer tapas overall as the rice makes it very filling! The standout tapas were the cold Patatas Con Alioli (the garlic in the potato salad was divine), the Vieiras Albariño (scallops were tender and cooked to perfection), and the Calamares A La Plancha (very clean squid, no strong fishy taste). The Solomillos A La Plancha was a unique take on beef tenderloin, though it was ultimately forgettable and the Pollo Al Limón was sadly overcooked and needed more lemon. While we got seated quickly, the dish delivery was very slow and spread out, stretching our total meal to two hours. By the time our Blanco Y Negro dessert arrived, we didn't bother mentioning our missing Queso De Cabra just because we wanted to wrap things up. Another staff member tipped off our waiter about our anniversary, so he congratulated us, took our picture, and brought two glasses of champagne. While a cute moment, we were surprised to be charged for the champagne on our bill afterward. Since I'm not much of a drinker and we already had a pitcher of sangria, we would have declined had we known it wasn't complimentary. Great ambiance and seafood, but watch out for slow food rollout and unexpected charges.
