    Met up with a friend for happy hour and was happy to see the varied menu options from apps to cocktails. We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious rolls and cocktails. Service was friendly. Atmosphere is relaxing. A must in my sushi rotation and happy hour list!

    Man oh man... Blue Sushi Sake Grill did not come to play We tried a little bit of everything from the Brussels sprouts to the charred edamame and every single bite was so flavorful and addictive. You know it's good when you keep saying "okay, one more bite" and suddenly everything's gone. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful, which always makes the experience that much better. The restaurant itself was clean, stylish, and just had a really great vibe overall. And can we talk about the mini aquarium tunnel you walk under to get to the other seating?! Such a fun, unexpected touch that makes the whole place feel a little more special.

    I ordered takeout. The food tasted fresh but definitely not enough salmon in these rolls. Some barely had any. Kind of disappointing. Other than that, service was great.

    The absolute best Happy Hour Menu every Sunday - I was shocked at how large the HH selection was. Worth the 45min drive and the wait. Everything the 4 of us had was top notch and we are already planning our next visit.

    Been here at least four or five times over the years and was always a good experience. Service at the bar varies based on who is working/time of day but it's all within reason. It can feel If you are a sushi snob then this place might feel average otherwise it is quite enjoyable. If you want a larger variety of fish then Hatsuyuki will have what you need. I think many might agree that the parking can be a little competitive but if you don't mind walking a block or so then it's a non-issue. Overall this place is nice and family friendly, we'll keep coming back here! Also, for the past few years they've done a buy a $100 gift card get a $35 gift card free deal around Xmas time. Definitely load up if you plan to come!

    Everything from start to finish was absolutely top tier. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Some of the best brussel sprouts you'll eat. Yummy edamame. Great desserts, top notch service. No notes.

    Got here maybe 15 minutes before happy hour was ending and there was a long wait so my group opted to sit at the bar instead. The servers were very kind and made sure to put in our orders quickly before happy hour ended. I think the happy hour menu is a great value for sushi. I got the tidal wave and the blue kani. Both tasted great! The wait for food was just incredibly slow, waited almost 45min to eat food that took 15min to finish... The restaurant itself is cute with a cool aquarium on the ceiling. Would recommend the happy hour as long as you don't show up starving.

    I've been coming here for years and love this spot. Killer location, great vibe inside with a fish tank on the interior wall that separates bar from main dining. Great staff, with a huge shout out to Dakota who should be promoted to co-president of the company because he's such a slayer on the floor. He treated us to an otoshi experience. What's otoshi you ask?? Basically he brought us whatever he thought was an awesome dining experience. No ordering involved. It was phenomenal!! I personally loved the yellow tail as always and the squid ink marinated tuna... blew my mind off my body. So incredibly good. Enjoy the pics, but go try it in real life and get off of here.... Go! Now!

    Second time here for happy hour and once again, it was awesome! Service is always so fast as we never have to wait longer than 10 minutes for everything to come out. Happy hour drinks are also great. Blue has become a to go favorite!

    Absolutely love this place! The ambience was amazing. My server was very kind and helpful. The sushi was so tasty everything about it was so good. Definitely will have to find my way back here again!!

    Happy hour all day on Sunday! Great happy hour selection. Phenomenal service for how busy they are on Sundays. Be ready to wait 30+ mins for a table, but worth the wait. The sushi chefs work super hard to get the orders moving. We sat at the bar since we didn't want to wait for a table and watch the sushi making magic unfold. Those guys work extremely hard. Hats off to the staff for the great ambiance. All featured pictures are from the happy hour menu. If it's your 1st time here, ensure you don't park across from the restaurant or you will get towed after 3pm. It's valet only after 3pm so park in the parking structure or any other space.

    Blue Sushi is a great sushi spot! We made a reservation online (super easy!) but it was not necessary for when we went. We were seated quickly and our server came over promptly. I chose Blue Sushi because of their wide variety of vegan options and I was not disappointed! I loved the brussel sprouts and the Prince roll. Service was friendly and our server was happy to make suggestions. However, she was really slow to refill drinks. The restaurant has a trendy feel and was really clean. I loved the giant fish tank above the bar. Parking is a little complicated. I recommend parking in the nearby garage.

    Today our team went to lunch at blue sushi. We've been here before and it's one of our go-to spots. We were a bit of a large group today- 9 total and we were seated pretty quickly. Our server was nice and brought our drinks and appetizers out quickly. However, after we placed our main orders we waited close to 45 minutes before getting our food. I have to think this is a fluke since in the past we've had quick service. It did make some of us anxious since we picked this spot for the quick service before going back to work. I'm sure there was a good reason behind it since that hasn't been our experience in the past. Or it could've been the large size too. Well, we did get our food and it was delicious. Crunchy LA is a great role to get. I just wish I had more time to eat it! We'll definitely be back again!

    Is there valet parking? I was not able to find it last time.

    Use the valet across the street at Eddie Vs. The valet is open to any restaurant.

    Is there covered outdoor seating?

    No, there is outdoor seating, in a separate area, but nothing covered.

The noise level was extremely high...we literally had to yell just to have a conversation with each other. Service was also very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the bar, and close to 30 minutes to actually receive a drink. When I finally ordered, I told the bartender to make her favorite drink. She made something that included raw egg whites (which I later learned is common in certain cocktails), but it wasn't mentioned or explained at the time. A few hours later, I became very sick...vomiting and dealing with what felt like severe food poisoning all night and through the next 24 hours. After looking into it, I suspect it may have been related to the raw egg used in the drink. Just something to be aware of if you're ordering drinks like a whiskey sour or anything that may include egg whites. After getting our receipt (which you need for the speakeasy entry code), we checked out the speakeasy portion, but the vibe there wasn't great either..pretty must the same as the other part of the bar. We ended up leaving within about five minutes. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype for us....between the noise, long wait times, and how we were treated, it just wasn't enjoyable. For comparison, the bar next door, Archibald, felt much more welcoming. Maybe regulars have a different experience, but as first-time guests, we were not impressed.

We poke our heads in (accidentally going through the exit door. the front door is well camouflaged) and just found a wonderful very chilled out bar. Haven't been to a speakeasy in a long time. It was dark lighting with ambient black lights and string lights to keep it dim but you wont struggle to see through. Music was not super loud and the chairs were incredibly comfortable and the whole place was laid out to just have drinks and lounge while talking with friends. No food, which is fine. You have plenty of options on the same block for that. This place is just for drinks and conversation. The seasonal menu was awesome. It iss a bar so they of course can make anything you request if you don't want a specialty cocktail. I got my favorite, a moscow mule but they had a brazilian mule on the specialty menu. I never had that before and ordered it on the spot. It was grapefruit vodka with lime, lots of fine pellett nugget ice (the really good kind) with ginger beer and condensed milk. My god it was great, they told me how they made it because i never saw milk added to this before. It was a delicious limeade that almost was slushy like, creamy and with tangy vodka. Plus they actually served it in a proper copper mug. Best mixed drink ive had period and a cool twist on my favorite standard moscow mule. The place is now going to become a frequent haunt for us. Its very laid back, relaxed, with fantastic ambiance. It doesn't get jammed packed and is not meant to get wild in. We went there around 7pm on a friday night with about 8 or so others already there with their drinks. It did pick up later with 15-20 people in there but still spacious and comfortable. It genuinely was just a nice bar to have drinks and conversations with friends. Nice music that isn't too loud so you can talk with normal voice levels. The bartenders we had were super nice and charismatic. The drinks were not expensive, a respectable 13 bucks for my mule. If you have a bill over 40 dollars they automatically add 20% gratuity to it so keep that in mind when you are tipping. And after 8pm everything had 20% gratuity added to the bill. But the service is so damn good that you will probably still want to tip on top of that anyways. I loved it so much i actually made a yelp account just to post a review. TLDR super cool speakeasy type joint, cool aesthetics and laundry theme. Not loud, good for drinks and chit chat, cool well crafted specialty cocktails that don't break the bank. Good bartenders. Good times. Cozy seats that encourage you to hang out and talk even with folks you haven't met before and dim without being dark lighting. Clean bathroom too and quick charismatic service. Hit this place up for sure even just for the novelty of it. It was a wonderful surprise bar for a date night. Pro tip for this area in general. all paid parking, some place validates some do not, i am unsure if they do here but there is paid parking right out front and also a paid lot literally across the street. But i don't even bother. About a block and a half away northeast is a big shopping complex with a target. i just park there for free and walk. its a short nice walk and doesn't cost 20 bucks.
