    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Cindy M.

    This sushi restaurant has a really fun and unique setup with floating boats carrying different colored plates around the sushi bar - definitely a cool experience visually. The sushi itself was fresh and enjoyable, and the decor added a nice touch to the atmosphere. However, there were a few downsides. The hot food items we tried came out cold, which was disappointing. Service was friendly, but not very attentive - our drinks sat empty for quite a while, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy at the time. Also, the noise level was higher than I prefer. The music was loud, and it seemed like everyone was raising their voices to talk over it, which made it hard to relax and have a conversation. Overall, it's a fun spot with good sushi, but there's definitely room for improvement in service and ambiance.

    This was my first time at a place like this and it did not disappoint. We went on a busy night but were still able to be sat right away at the sushi boat bar. Menus were given which although we didn't order from it, it was a nice reference to what we were eating. It was great to be able to watch the food get made as you can see what the freshest items were. Loved everything we ate.

    The food and service were exceptional, as always. It's been years since my last visit, but today I took my older son, who now enjoys sushi. Everything we ordered was outstanding.

    Phenomenal sushi! My friend and I unfortunately got here before the conveyer belt starts (which is after 5pm), but we ordered some sushi off the menu. My go-to, the california roll, is spot on, and my friend ordered the Red Dragon Roll and loved it. The edamame is delicious, and they also have plum wine! Definitely coming back to try out the sushi conveyer next time!

    This was a last minute decision for a late night dinner. Great they are open until later than most restaurants in the area Our server was great. Friendly and efficient Food was ok. Fried tofu was tasteless and the pad Thai was ok but unlike all other pad Thais I had there was no peanuts cilantro and sprouts garnishing and that removed some of the taste too Overall not bad but would only go back if there was no other option

    Blue Ginger is a sushi restaurant located in the Southwest Ranches area right off of I 75 and Sheridan in the Publix shopping center. They have convenient parking right out front. What's a little different about this restaurant is you can sit at the bar and there is a mini lazy river that goes all the way through the bar. On the river are little boats that will deliver different plates of fresh made sushi and cooked food as well. The plate color helps differentiate the cost, and there is a breakdown of the cost / plate colors on the menu. They also offer sit down, full service inside the restaurant as well. This time we chose to sit at the bar and try several items. We started with the spring rolls and the scallops and then we had a few different sushi rolls and sashimi. We ended our meal with Thai donuts. The dessert was ordered through the server as we did not see desserts offered on the bar area. We found this to be a fun experience. The sushi was very good and very fresh. They make it and place it on the bar right in front of you.

    Always great and delicious looking food here! Nice atmosphere and great service! One of our go-tos when you just want to relax with a quite night out

    I've had eaten here a long long time ago, even before I was on Yelp. It's a sushi bar that has the sushi rolling around the bar on a conveyor belt. That doesn't really excite me. But they do have regular tables with regular menu. The menu has a nice variety of different things to choice from. So we started with a couple of appetizers, the crab salad and some garlic edamame. The crab salad was really good, it was not heavy mayo, topped with Panko and avocado. The edamame was also very good, it was very tasty and cooked perfect. For dinner I had chicken teriyaki, other then it being over loaded with sauce it was very good. My wife had a JB tempura roll. It had a thin layer of rice and was full of salmon. I got to try it and it was very good. The only thing I didn't care for was the miso soup. It was loaded with sea weed and tofu, but I felt like it was way to salty. Our server, she was amazing too. I'd definitely want to eat here again

    Crunch Punch Roll, Cilantro Roll, Dancing Eel Roll

    Some of the tastiest rolls I have found with awesome ambiance and service. We checked out the sushi boats one day for dinner and went earlier another day for regular sit down service. The sushi boats are awesome if you are an adventurous visual eater because it's small portions so you get to try a little bit of everything. And you have control of how much you spend because each plate has a price based on the color. The regular sit down service was awesome. I got a chance to appreciate the decor because the boats took my focus the first time. The place is trendy and an open space while maintaining intimate individual spaces. The rolls were delish. Usually we like one or two of the rolls a lot and the others are ehh. We have yet to be disappointed here. Service was phenomenal. We always had topped off water and service was prompt. Prices are average. Parking is easy because this is in a large strip mall lot.

    If you ever avoid sushi because you want to try multiple things but can't justify the price vs quantity, this is your place. I recommend sitting at the bar with the rotating sushi boats, you can try as many things as you want (most are under $6 per plate) with a few special items but you'll understand what you're spending based on the color of the plate. They refill your drinks quick and the ambiance is no frills but it's perfect if you REALLY want to get your sushi fix.

    This place is always good . It was been awhile since that last time I was here and still so good ! We sat at the sushi bar and there is different plates going around and depending what color it is is what you pay for . You get to try different stuff so worth it . You can also order from the regular menu . Our server was great. We had a cold saki and it was very good ! Would be coming back for sure !

    Good place to take the kids. Sit at the bar and select your sushi from the passing boats.

Additionally based on owner (Daniel) reply: I assure you the words "5-10 minutes" never were spoken by your host. But I appreciate the attempt to make me look unreasonable. The host's implication was there was a wait and he couldn't be sure how long. And his body language was pretty dismissive. Your portrayal is inaccurate. In addition, your reservation system offers no option of indoor vs outdoor seating. 99% of your patrons were eating inside because it was drizzling, hot, and humid. If you had offered outside only at the time I made the reservation I would not have made the reservation. Maybe look into adding that option instead of surprising guests. Folks, try Kaeru Sushi & Grill in West Pines. They are a fantastic sushi spot and always respect reservations.

Our server took quite a while to come over. When she did, she was very nice. We started with Kirin beers that were ice cold. He ordered some fancy eel roll. I had a piece but I am not a fan of eel. It did seem well put together. My JB roll was the best one I ever had. Truly delicious and fresh. We also ordered Mongolian beef. This was really delicious and not overly salted.
