I love the shrimp fried rice, some of the best I've ever had but today when I asked for some soy sauce packets with my to go order I was told they charge for it. What?? That is unheard of to me. It is standard to give sauce with take out orders. I'm very disappointed because when I asked the woman she said she would give me some just this time but that next time I would be charged. Um no thanks. I will look for a new restaurant that doesn't nickel and dime their customers. read more

The Japanese food is great and the atmosphere is also good. The raw fish quality could definitely use some improvement and the soy sauce tastes like it's Kikoman brand which just makes the sushi taste worse. Would not come back here for sushi, just the cooked Japanese cuisine which was amazing. read more

This place is great. I've been there twice and have been happy with the service and the food. Both times I've gotten the sushi boat for the meal and the fried banana for dessert. First time was better than the second though, so I'm not sure if the quality is going down with time. I hope not, since this place is one of the best restaurants in that area read more

We pass this restaurant all the time so this time we decided to give it a try. It's clean and pleasant and everyone was happy with their choice. The spicy seafood salad was pretty tasty. My lunch bento had an assortment of interesting things like salmon and pot stickers. It's reasonably priced as we were a family of 6 and our bill was less than $100. Parking lot was wide open because we arrived just before noon. We will be back. read more

Best. Sushi. Experience. I've. Ever. Had. Our server was so attentive and even untapped our chop sticks for us. Amazing drinks, food, and service. Gib 10/10. read more

It can be pricy, but the food is good and the people are super nice. Sushi is typical - nothing extra special. Pan fried noodles are good. Mango chicken is just ok. Soups are all great. Pad see ew is a bit bland. The fish dinners and duck were good. Pad Thai is typical, but a bit bland as well. read more

I stopped in here for a quick lunch with one of my friends while we were waiting for a prescription to be ready at Walgreens. The sushi and service was great. I just wish that the fish smell wasn't so strong in here. read more

Went here for lunch and loved it. The atmosphere is very casual, but the sushi is high quality! The fish is incredibly fresh and I feel like the chef really knows what they're doing. read more

WooHoo is right! WonTon soup-- to die for. Broth rich and NOT salty. Potstickers great and light (with salad would be a lunch). Sushi pizza made 7-year-old wiggle his feet with joy. Salmon with ginger and scallion was juicy and fresh. Warm sake was fresh as well. Veggies all crisp and sauces perfect. No flavor overpowered another. Also-- wasabi was powerful and tangy here. Chocolate torte was superb- moist and dense, but not old or dry. Pounded rice with ice-cream was funky (in the best way) and mildly sweet. Everything beautiful and savory. Wait staff attentive, lovely, responsive. Why did we wait so long??????????? read more

I've been to this restaurant about 10 times already since they've opened up & I love it more each time I go. My favorite dish is the crab rangoon (the best crab Rangoons I have ever had) & the sushi is very fresh. The best part is that the owner always comes up to your table to make sure everything is going well. It's a very cozy & modern restaurant. I recommend everyone to try it out (: read more

This place is great! Service is awesome and the sushi is amazing. The dragon eye appetizer is amazing, oysters are super fresh and the lady in red roll is heavenly. Small place and parking lot so it can be tough on a busy night, but well worth it. Best sushi in the area by far. read more

My boyfriend and I live minutes away from this location. Everytime we go everything is phenomenal from the service, to the management, and especially the food. All around just a fantastic restaurant!!! We love coming here and plan on frequenting Blu Karma! read more

Blu Karma is a gem! The service is exceptional, friendly professional and warm. The owners and staff make you feel welcome and at home. The food is superior. We have tried lobster sashimi, crab chips, spicy edamame, spicy seafood salad, and they were fresh and flavorful! The basil garlic stirfry sauce is my personal favorite. But everything is so good it is hard to have a favorite! read more

The fish was fresh and delicately cooked--try the black cod! Drinks were yummy. Very reasonably priced food. Attentive and friendly waitstaff. read more

Great sushi, whether it be take out, or done in. Service is always friendly and courteous. Delivery times vary, and sometimes are a little long, but well worth the wait. Just make sure to not wait until you're starving to place your order! read more

One of the best sushi restaurants in the north shore. Very reasonably priced. Just very limited on seating but we never had a wait.

I found this place on Yelp, and couldn't wait to try it. Went Friday night and loved it. The restaurant isn't big and filled up fast while we were having dinner - FYI - they take reservations. The place is very clean and the booths were comfortable. We started with sushi - the spicy tuna was delish and the shrimp tempura was too. We got edamame and lettuce wraps and for the main dish the pan fried noddles with veggies. Everything was cooked to order and perfect. The service was awesome. I can't wait to go back !! Next time I plan on getting the Pad Thai. read more

Awesome Pad Thai with lots of peanuts, shrimp, chicken and egg whites throughout. Served with some shredded lettuce and a fresh lime wedge. My husband got the pan fried beef with mixed vegetables. Great variety of fresh veggies, served with a side of white rice. read more

Blu Karma is absolutely amazing. The food is absolutely delicious (I always get the sushi and everything I've tried so far is delectable,) the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the owners, Tina and Evan, are so sweet, genuine, hard-working and personable. You can tell that everyone here loves their job; it is such a positive atmosphere! I love this place!! read more

All I can say is WOW, friendly staff, and the food is AMAZING !!!....I love sushi, I tried The Lady in Red which was one of the specials and just WOW!! read more

We tried this place based on the high reviews and were very disappointed. The sweet potato sushi was decent, the chicken wings were average, the hot and sour soup was gelatinous and pretty awful, and the pad thai was very different from what one finds elsewhere -- but it was not unusual in a good way. Kame in Beverly and Royal Orchid in Rowley are so far superior to Blu Karma that it puzzles me why anyone would bother eating here. Ever. read more

This is the one of the best sushi in New England! They have fresh fish and really great decoration for their maki. The staff are welcoming and helpful in making decisions because all of their rolls are great! I usually go to sushi buffet because I'd rather have quantity over quality, but after coming here I cannot go back to sushi buffet because each sashimi I ate was worth it! It is pricey but worth the extra bucks! read more

My husband and I love this place. The food is always fabulous. The drinks are always amazing and consistent. The service is always great!

Delicious! Great service, great atmosphere. All around an awesome new addition to the Danvers line-up.

By far the BEST modern Asian cuisine I have ever had. My wife & I go there at least once a week, it's that good! The food is so delicious, not like your traditional Chinese/Thai food, It's always fresh and full of flavor, "Definitely no food additive here at Blu Karma". The Sushi dishes are amazing, I have never seen Sushi so creatively presented until I had visited Blu Karma. The owners Tina and Evans are by far some of the nicest people I have ever met, they treat all their customers like family and we always felt so welcomed by them and their friendly staff. The drinks are very good and refreshing and the music collection playing in the background is always good. Food quality is consistent every time we go, which is something we always struggled with at other restaurants. Every time we bring new friends to eat at Blu Karma, it also becomes their favorite place to eat right away. I can't write enough on how AWESOME this place is and I highly recommend it to any food lover out there. read more

What a great find! This place does everything up perfectly. Sushi is fresh, creative and delicious. Their apps are all good, and every style of Asian that they serve is as good as it gets anywhere in these parts. Service is always super friendly, and the owners make you feel like you're at home. This has become one of our regular, go-to restaurants. read more

I've been in multiple times and every time it's a great dining experience. I'm a huge sushi fan and I always have to get the spicy tuna roll. After that I alternate to whatever catches my eye. Service is good and the owner is often on the floor taking in to guests. I try to come in at least once a month for their great food read more

Hands down one of the best Japanese/Chinese fusion restaurants around. The food is always great and you can taste the freshness in everything they do. read more

Last night with friends, they ordered couple of items. Been a long time since I had sushi, they had ordered the lettuce wraps, black and white as well as the lady in red I believe it was called that. I got to sample them and found it to be very tasty. I will be going in person soon, now that I have tried them. Will need to see if they deliver to Peabody or Beverly. read more

We ordered the calamari and it was fantastic. We ordered the Hawaiian maki, black dragon maki and snow mountain maki and it is incredible! I love to lychee tini too! read more

See all

In a word Fantastic! We discover Blu Karma right after it opened and have been there twice already. It is becoming one of our regular choices. Excellent food lots of variety and everything is very fresh. Tina the owner is a fantastic hostess and goes out of her way to make everyone feel comfortable. Her husband is the chef and turns out the fantastic and delightful. menu offerings. We have had Shumai pan fried perfectly crisp on the outside and firm on the inside, lettuce wraps are delicious and the shrimp & scallop dish with snow peas and peppers had a delectable sauce. We have seen the sushi presentations and they are amazing. We hope you all get a chance to visit well worth the trip an amazing dining experience at reasonable prices. Pat C. read more

My fiancé and I live blocks away from this location and went there a few times when it was a Thai restaurant. We are sooooo happy that it went under. The new owners, Evan and Yana, are AMAZING people. Evan provides exquisitely presented, FRESH seafood at the sushi bar while his wife Yana charms the pants off the patrons. We ordered oysters on the half shell. And at $1 per oyster, how could you not. The freshness of the shellfish greatly surpassed those we've eaten at a well established well known seafood restaurant in Essex that will remain nameless. They were burped properly, shucked perfectly and tasted sweet. We tried several different pieces from the sushi bar, including a new one for me, SARDINE. It was AMAZING. The freshness of the fish coupled with Evans beautiful presentation of the nigiri blew me away. I wish I could afford to go there every day for lunch and dinner. I can't wait to go back and try more of their wonderful menu. THANK YOU EVAN AND YANA FOR AN AMAZING MEAL AND EXPERIENCE!!!!!! read more

Great place, food is delicious service is friendly and very reasonbly priced. A must try and I will definitely be back!

This is a teeny little place that packs a whallop. Very nice sushi bar with an extensive selection of traditional and custom rolls. Asian menu covers Thai, Japanese, and Vietnamese favorites. I went on a Friday night, and the place was packed, but there was one table available. The staff was very attentive, and the service prompt. I failed to keep track of what specifically we had overall but there were some standouts: --fresh rolls were crispy, and the dipping sauce flavorful --pad thai was average, but served hot and fresh --sushi was beautifully presented and delicious I'll definitely go back, and give a more thorough review then. read more

Went there to meet my Boss & his wife that go often & I Loved it ! Food was fresh & Amazing. No full bar yet but we all came up with some cool cocktails with flavored spirits ! Tina & Evan are Great host. My boyfriend John & I will be back for sure :) read more

We love it here, and they have the best sushi on the north shore. We love Tina and Taylor.

Just tried Blu Karma for the first time and I must say, I think I've found my new go to place for sushi and Chinese. The building itself is small, but the staff and owners are incredibly nice. The space is very inviting. We order the fried shumai, and some sushi and it was incredible, read more

Excellent food and service and atmosphere. Their sushi is very good quality, their wait staff are curtious and attentive, and their atmosphere is one that would be comfortable for a a date, or to just simply go out and eat. I definetly reccomend this restaurant read more

I finally got around to trying this place yesterday and was impressed by how fast they delivered to me. I used Foodler to order, and the expected wait time was an hour. They showed up in about a half hour, and the delivery guy had actually read my delivery instructions (more than half the drivers at other places don't and show up at the wrong entrance). He was very nice, and the food was excellent! I had ordered general gau's chicken, broccoli in garlic sauce and brown rice. Maybe next time I will try their sushi, but I was in the mood for Chinese yesterday. They are a bit pricy but worth it. read more

This place is the boom Every thing is just fresh and delicious Try the lettuce wraps Will be back read more
