    (2/18/26)- Salmon belly, sea bream, Uni
    Michael L.

    2/17/26 (first timer) - Sushi Lovers! Ordered the cherry bomb - very colorful and flavor combos, eat quick as the sauce takes away from the crunch of the crispy rice base. Truffle salmon -thinly sliced, great flavors! Black tuna- beautifully odd looking. Flavor was very different from standard super white. Nice bold extension and very healthy cuts. Anura sake (salmon) toro, was great flavor again thinly sliced. Seabream (madai), had great taste! Uni, which is very delicate was very fresh and overall high grade all around. Tuna tataki was an excellent combo of flavors, especially the toasted garlic chip! Sunomo salad (add the Tako - octopus) very refreshing. Last try was Amazing roll! Very big mix of flavors and almost crazy to the taste buds especially the Chimmichuri but beyond delicious! Overall: I ALWAYS RECOMMEND SITTING AT SUSHI BAR as first option w/date or alone, but that wasn't available for me tonight! Among the "Blue sushi" brands this is one of, if not the BEST I've tried and would highly recommend! I can be a snob about quality and grades and being among the farther places (Omaha) from the Ocean, this is HIGH quality/grades of Sushi! I will definitely be back when through town.

    CHARRED EDAMAME - SPICY (VG) (GF)
    Jason D.

    Been a while so thought a quick revisit was needed. To start, this location went through a remodel which opened the place up quite a bit. Fresh art and more tables compliment the space very nicely. Since this was just a quick lunch and a cocktail I ordered small and light but they delivered. Maguro nigiri was bomb, scallop nigiri was fresh and buttery, and someone sure pumped up the Togarashi on their spicy edamame! Steamed is nice but charred was where it's at for me. Drinks were good and here's where the last star would have been won... tried the china doll and a raspberry mojito. Both were good, but this cocktail menu is all a little sweet for me. Overall awesome quick lunch and great space - we'll be back soon!

    Blue sushi has always been my go to for great sushi. Service is generally impeccable and the food comes out fast and fresh. One thing to note is that blue sushi restaurants typically are playing loud music throughout the restaurant. This sometimes makes it difficult to have a conversation without repeating oneself multiples times. However, the ambience is lively and the employees always are bright, energetic and engaging. Would definitely recommend to try if you haven't already.

    Always a big fan of Blue since the early 2000s. Met my college bestie and her family for happy hour. We enjoyed sushi, drinks and appetizers. Location has big indoor and outdoor dining. Joy of this experience was the Philly Roll and Brussels Sprouts. Also enjoyed my spicy Margarita.

    I visited with my daughter and a friend on a Friday night. The restaurant was busy but we were seated right away. Service was quick and efficient. The server did a great job. No complaints. I ordered the crunchy LA sushi roll and mango Crab Rangoon, both were excellent. My daughter enjoyed the VLT. Overall a good experience for dinner

    MANGO CRAB RANGOON
    Ann K.

    Ordered the tital wave and Eden roll both good. Mango crab rangoons were delicious. Loved that they added on to the restaurant so way more seating and we didn't have to wait on. Friday night! Server was attentive came around filled waters numerous times. Sat in comfy booth which they didn't have last time I was there. Always a favorite place for me to go!

    spicy charred edamame, and a cocktail with popping Boba
    Jennifer D.

    Last time I was here I wasn't impressed but decided to try it again for A QUICK, Sunday lunch happy hour. First I have to say I love the remodel it created a more modern atmosphere. Everything looks amazing. Staff was friendly and efficient and the food and cocktails were delicious. I got the spicy charred edamame. They had a kick, but they were very flavorful! my daughter had a California roll with no crab like she always orders and I had a crunchy LA. Perfect late afternoon bite when we were out for a girls day.

    A little of a mixed experience. I ordered the Crunchy Red Roll and the Cabo Roll, along with some appetizers, and I have to say--the food was great. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and exactly what I was hoping for. However, the service left a lot to be desired. I was seated at the bar and waited 35 minutes before anyone even took my order. At that point, I was about ready to leave. What made it worse was that another family came in after me and was greeted and had their order taken right away. I completely understand that restaurants are busy and that staffing shortages are a real issue, but at the very least, a simple "Hi, I'll be with you in a few minutes" would go a long way. It's disappointing because the food was genuinely good, but the service experience really took away from the overall visit. I'd be hesitant to return unless I knew they had improved their attentiveness to all guests, not just select ones.

    Tuna Tower
    Brit B.

    Blue is our favorite Local Sushi place. This was our first visit to this location after they remodeled and expanded. They almost doubled their seating capacity in the expansion. In the past it was hard to get a table during peak hours, we would wait 30-45 minutes some nights. I think now it will be much quicker to be seated. This trip was a Sunday at 5pm and we were seated immediately, but it looked like just about every table was filled. I'm sure there would be a wait at 6pm, but with this many tables, I don't believe it would be a very long one. As for the food, just about everything on the menu is a solid pick. Our favorite starters are the Coconut Crab Soup, Itchy Sea-bass, Tuna Tower, and Blue Kani. For rolls the Lion King, Thriller, San Marcos, Hawaiian, and the classic Rainbow Roll. Today's visit was good, but the food service was a bit slow. I'll chalk that up this being the first few days of them reopening and it being completely full. Otherwise the service and food were fantastic as always.

    CALAMARI
    Anna D.

    We've been here many times and our favorite time to go is during their happy hour! We love their calamari among many other things. We've never had a role we didn't like. Service is fast no matter the time. I also really love their decor. I always get the spicy tekka roll. And I love the yellowtail carpaccio!

    CHICKEN FRIED RICE, MISO SOUP, MANGO CRAB RANGOON, Peach daiquiri with boba
    Payton W.

    I'm not a huge sushi fan but came here for lunch with a few friends. Interior is nice and spacious. The booths are perfect for group dinners. The waitress was very sweet and said they were able to make chicken friend rice for me! We also got crab Rangoon to share and I tried the Peach daiquiri which was so fun!

    Some of the best sushi in Omaha! I did take out, it was ready at the time it said or would be. Great staff!

    Blue Mule
    Rose P.

    I love their new remodel! The restaurant is much bigger and the atmosphere is beautiful. The decor and lighting is top notch. They have a great selection of cocktails and saki. I've never had a bad cocktail; the bests are the Strawberry Daisy, Blue Mule, and China Doll. The sushi and fresh and good portion sizes. I like that the menu is organized by raw and not raw, and vegan vs not vegan. They have a great selection for vegan and vegetarian sushi if that's what you're interested in. They have great shareables too, like the edamame and crab rangoons. The servers are nice and the hosts are polite as well. I love it and their other locations as well!

    Orders are always a minimum of 5-0 minutes late. They don't seem to put importance on pick up or delivery service.

(although I think the fish is cured to retain freshness) We ordered a couple rolls, but mostly stuck to the nigiri. The Hama toast, prairie tuna, and yaki gindara were all ono. The yaki gindara tasted like butterfish sushi, but with sablefish rather than black cod. Also, the rice used for the sushi tasted similar to the rice used in sushi in Hawaii. We also tried some of the yakitori - grilled meat on sticks. I strongly recommend the tako yakitori. I'm not really into tako poke (Hawaii dish), but this tako with that miso panca sauce is super ono. Full of flavor with a touch of spicy. I could eat that all the time. The five-spice old fashioned they have is also delicious. Service was excellent for us. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself has a/c and gives an izakaya vibe familiar in Hawaii. Also, I saw people come in with t-shirt and shorts for dinner. So I guess there isn't really a dress code here. As others have mentioned, Koji is a sister restaurant to Yoshitomo, and the menus of both restaurants do overlap to a degree. However, Koji has MUCH better parking than Yoshitomo. Trying to find parking for Yoshitomo or Ota can be a pain since it's all street parking. Koji is in a strip mall with its own parking lot (free parking too). I will definitely return here whenever I'm in Omaha.

But there is a James Beard-level recognized chef here, in Omaha, that is delivering fresh-tasting raw and other omakase dishes week after week - geography be damned. His name is David Utterback. It's incredibly difficult to get reservations at this eight-seat omakase called Ota. Moreso than any omakase in my hometown on an island in the middle of the Pacific. In fact, I dont think he needs this review - the best don't need to advertise. I also don't think we have a sushi chef here in Hawaii that is as nationally-acclaimed as Utterback. So we were very interested to try. And we were very lucky to get reservations. I dont think there is a parking lot for this restaurant, which is tucked within his also highly-regarded Yoshitomo restaurant. So if you from Hawaii like me, and get lucky with the reservations, gotta roll da dice on parallel street parking. That's code for come early ;) (parking is free in the area) W-h-e-n you do arrive at Yoshitomo, there is a small - hidden - waiting area within Yoshitomo where you will be asked to wait for the omakase to begin. The dark photo with the lantern and Ota sign is in that waiting room. - And frankly - That's all that needs to be shown in a photo cause the omakase course itself varies depending on chef's tastes and what's available that week. The courses we had will likely not be the entirety of the courses you have. But the rice might be the same. There is a special black vinegar that chef uses to add to the rice. Ask him about it. There is a whole story behind it ;) So my photos are small in number. They are the highlights of our experience and what stood out to me that is beyond anything I've tried in Hawaii or elsewhere (including the black-vinegar sushi rice) Enjoy - cause we most certainly did :)
