Returning to Blue Sushi Sake Grill only confirmed why we keep coming back. This visit was just as enjoyable as the last! We took advantage of their happy hour, which is one of the best values around. We ordered the Tidal Wave Roll, the Shrimp Tempura Roll, and, of course, our all-time favorite, the shishito peppers. The peppers are consistently flavorful with just the right amount of char, and they're a must-order every time we visit. The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The Tidal Wave Roll was a standout, while the Shrimp Tempura Roll delivered the perfect balance of crunch and freshness. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was attentive, and the happy hour made the experience even better. It's always nice to return to a restaurant and find the quality and consistency are still there. We'll definitely be back again! read more

Service was fantastic! I so appreciated the attention and the atmosphere. Clean, mid level noise. It wasn't too loud and could have a conversation without a problem. Food.. great presentation, good time order to table. However, for the price, it was lacking quality and flavor. Portion sizes.. leave a lot to be desired. I would have liked larger portions for the price. These had a ln interesting aftertaste, almost like wasabi powder for spice. There has been a bit better value for the money in other places. read more

Oh good lord, where do I start? Best sushi so far in the west valley! Had the Spanish Fly, Amazon, San Marcos Maki, Tidal Wave, and the Tuna tower. Very good and Mariana was a gem. Must go place! read more

Love Blue! Always a choice that never disappoints! For me, it's the raspberry mojito and rolls on rolls. My non-sushi family goes for the lettuce chicken wraps every time! The patio is our go to spot so we can witness all the action in Prasada. Dog friendly patio is a major +, and they have the cutest lil stainless steel water bowls. Loved Blue in Nebraska and thrilled to see them in Surprise. read more

What a beautiful restaurant. We made a reservation and we were seated right away. **Know that parking can be a little tough so just know that going in. Miso soup is by far my favorite thing in the world but I just didn't love it. There was a little bit of a smell that didn't sit right with me. My husband on the other hand loved it! I couldn't pinpoint the flavor that I didn't care for. Crispy Brussel Sprouts - deep fried super greasy and just not great. The both of us didn't like it. Now, the Mango Crab Rangoon - husband loved them! Husband loved the Lion King Roll I had the Philly Roll. It was good. We do want to go back as the menu is huge. Our friends raved about Blue - so I wanted to try it, not blown away but I will give it another try. read more

First time here and it won't be my last ! I don't know why I waited so long to try it ! Best happy hour deals I've seen in like forever the service was great and they just have an incredible menu overall I would definitely return ! read more

Solid, solid, solid sushi. Very, very good service by Izzy (ask for her table). They had Kiren beer on draft which was a good start. Note to management, the Kiren could be colder. It was cool but not as cold as I would like. The Edamame was very good! Came seasoned with garlic with a splash of spicyness, get this. Also had the Calamari and it was very good. We had two roles - Thriller and Lion King rolls. Both were fresh and did not disappoint. Hack, if you tend to get cold in a restaraunt bring a sweater. My wife froze through most of the our dinner as we sat in the booth to the right of the front door as you walk in and it was like an ice box, even on a warm day. Highly recommend this place! read more

It's just OK. Not a lot of raw sushi. Everything taste the same. Not worth the price.

My husband and I went here a few months ago and really enjoyed the rolls and suggestions made by our server. It was nice sitting outside (before it was too hot) and people watch the other restaurants. The place seems classy but maybe a little understaffed the day we went. I was surprised it wasn't busier because I feel like their menu has some really unique and delicious items on it. I like that they separate raw, not raw, and veg options on the menu and the creativity is awesome! The red crunch roll was one of our favorites. We will be back here again. read more

We came in for happy hour which I thought offered a great selection of sushi, apps, and drinks. The china doll cocktail wasn't very strong but I loved the flavor that the jasmine tea gave the drink. As for sushi we decided to try a handful of things on the happy hour menu. I didn't find the mango crab ragoons to have that much of a mango flavor. I saw the mango sauce but there was not enough of it. We tried the lion king roll, the tidal wave roll, the crunchy blue roll, and the Cabo roll. I was not a huge fan of the crunchy blue or the Cabo. They are very simple rolls but I was disappointed in the amount of tuna in my Cabo roll. I have honestly never had a roll with such a tiny amount of fish before but for the price I can't complain. We loved the lion king roll though! We ordered a second one. The service was overall good. I would say for how slow the restaurant seemed it took a little while to get us seated. It also took a little while for a host to make their way over but from there on I feel like the service was good and the food came out in a timely manner. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and really cute inside! read more

We've been to the Blue Sushi in Tempe but the paid parking is annoying, so we thought we'd take a day trip to Surprise and check out some thrift/antique stores while out west. To start - the drive there from north central Phoenix is unpleasant. We meandered through surface streets and got lost a few times, but we made it eventually. Next time (if there is one) we'll take the longer freeway route. The layout/feel is the same as Tempe - well decorated, open, comfortable and a touch chilly. We were seated immediately and our waiter was right on the spot. We went for their Veganuary specials but ended up ordering of the extensive all day happy our menu instead. I got the vegan lettuce wraps while my husband ordered the Eden rolls - both vegan. I also got a Night Swim saki. My lettuce wraps came out quickly and were perfect. I really love them! The tofu is prepared well - cooked but not dry - and it's just delicious. However, I was almost done with my meal by the time my husband's rolls came out. They were not slammed - it was mid-afternoon on a Tuesday and only maybe five other tables seated. We were near the sushi area so we saw our waiter check twice - it wasn't his fault - they were just really slow. Thusly, minus one star from my review. When they did arrive - they were great. No worries there. But it did seem a bit excessive. Our waiter was apologetic and put up with our talk story for a bit. Overall, we'll go back for the vegan options, but probably to Tempe. read more

Great place. Very posh decor, loved it actually. Chairs that were not booths, looked dreadfully uncomfortable. I was in a booth, but I will only sit in a booth, in the future. Our server was pleasant. I've been here a few times now. The sushi and nigiri and service are all good! read more

I really wanted to like Blue Sake Grill, but this was some of the worst sushi I've had. Even the specialty rolls were completely one-note -- bland, boring, and lacking any real flavor or creativity. Nothing stood out. I've had better sushi in places that don't specialize in it--- that's saying something. For the price and the hype, I expected much better. Unfortunately, there was nothing special about the experience, and I wouldn't return. read more

This was our first time to this restaurant and really enjoyed our experience. The wait staff was friendly and decor and ambience in this place was upscale / modern. We had the ceviche as an appetizer which was fresh and tasty along with some spicy edamame. We tried a few different sushi rolls and loved the fact that they have an all day happy hour on Sunday's with a wide variety of items to choose from. We ordered so much I forgot to take note of which rolls specifically we had but all were tasty and plentiful. The miso soup was also a great start to the meal. Definitely recommend this place and would come back again. read more

Wow. Amazing experience all around. From the host to the sushi chefs and everyone in between, we were treated so well. We happened to catch Ryan, the corporate chef, who clearly leads an exceptional team. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. I especially liked the extensive vegan options. This is definitely our new sushi spot. I'm shocked no one else was sitting at the sushi bar on a Friday night, because we had so much fun talking with the chefs. See you all next week! read more

I am glad that they don't always recognize me here yet, but this is one of my favorite places to come and eat at. I'm glad they did the veganuary this year I think last year it was just the Phoenix location. Regardless I always have great service here no matter who I can convince to tag along with me. I appreciate the large menu they have for everyone I've managed to help even the pickiest eaters find something to get here while I go crazy on their expansive vegan offerings. The foods always fresh and taste great. The staff is always attentive and helpful and don't make me feel silly when I come without friends or family or when they've seen me come within a few short days of my last visit. Seems like a great place to work too as everyone always seems to be in such a great mood even when they've been obviously busy. Always coming back. read more

This visit to blue sushi sake Grill was average at best. I've been multiple times and have had a better experience. Today we came on a Sunday which has all day happy hour. I honestly don't feel the happy hour menu is as strong as I would expect or want. And that's my fault and it's very limited overall from each category and it might be a couple bucks here and there that you save. With that, we opted to have a few items off of the happy hour menu, but the rest was off the main menu. We did not have any alcohol/cocktails. We had the Cabo roll in LA roll, thriller, tuna tower, lettuce, wraps, and the coconut crab soup. The soup is always the best. However, I will say we did order one to go and it came in when I thought was a smaller container than the actual presentation in the restaurant in a black bowl. I could be totally wrong, but I guess observation and perception is everything. We definitely did not care for the thriller roll and and would not order that again. Service was friendly and professional, and started out attentive, but towards the end of the meal waned off a little. We had to wait for longer periods for check backs and have our plates removed and we never received any water refills although we were asked multiple times if we wanted a soda refill. Cool vibes great music. We sat at a table along the garage window doors, but the sun was blasting through it and by the end of our meal towards 3:30 PM we were cooking. We probably would've moved sooner in our meal had we anticipated this. There's a large variety of Nigiri, sushi, and including vegan and vegetarian options, which are great. However, I feel some of the rolls are just the same components with a different sauce, for example tuna or crab mix, and then top with ponzu or an eel sauce it's basically the same thing. We probably would come back as it's convenient. Parking in the entire center can be challenging so bring your patience. read more

Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in. As we passed three empty booths, we asked if we could sit at one. The host told us they were reserved, which seemed odd for a Sunday. What made it more frustrating was that none of those booths were ever occupied during our visit. The one highlight was the miso soup, it was flavorful, arrived quickly, and was probably the best part of the meal. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience fell short. We waited approximately 45 minutes for our sushi while several tables around us, including those seated after us, received their food first. Our server was friendly and smiled throughout the service, but it felt as though our order may have been overlooked. When the sushi finally arrived, it was underwhelming. The fish still had pieces of skin attached, the wasabi lacked flavor, and overall the quality was comparable to what you might expect from a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant rather than a full service establishment. Drink refills were also slow and required multiple requests. Between the long wait, inattentive service, and mediocre food quality, this was not the dining experience we were hoping for. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

I first tried this franchise in Omaha, NE 2 years ago and I have raved about it ever since. The closest one to me is in Ohio, which is about an 8 hour drive, so once I heard this opened up near my sister in Peoria, I told her immediately this is where I wanted to go when I visit her. I remember loving the charred edamame, and while it was still good, this one was way too salty. I don't remember it being salty before so not sure if this was a bad batch we got or if it's always that salty. My favorite thing about it though is the crispy garlic and charred flavor. The rolls were just as amazing as I remembered. As a vegetarian, it makes me so happy to have such unique vegan options! Of the two I got, the Thai Hippie was my favorite (and was last time too). I also got the China Doll cocktail, which was so cute and super refreshing. I don't like drinks that taste like alcohol and this one definitely didn't, nor was it too sweet. I know I'll be going here again next time I'm in town! read more

We made a reservation beforehand for 11am for a party of 3 on a Saturday. Wasn't busy at all when we got there. They had happy hour going on and the server was super friendly and helpful suggesting maki. Happy hour runs basically the entire time the place is open--11am-6:30pm Monday-Saturday & all day Sunday). We ended up getting the crunchy blue, tidal wave, and lion king. We also got 3 miso soups, a strawberry lemonade & a kids chicken tender meal. Food came out super quick and was priced super great.

Stopped in today with my family for while they're in town to enjoy some sushi. They had just opened for the day which was great with no wait. We got seated right away near a window and started looking over the menus. We love the options and prices on the happy hour menu, but I always opt for a full price role as well. Today I ordered my usual Lion King role but also added the roja roll along with the beach which is one I haven't tried. I added the mango crab rangoons as an appetizer. We ordered quite a few more rolls and edamame as well. Kaitlin (hope I spelled it right) our server was wonderful. She was funny, entertaining and stayed on top of not only our drink refills but checking on us throughout to make sure we are happy. I've been to this location many times and while the other servers have been great she was awesome. Everything was delicious as always and the vibe never disappoints! read more

Excellent sushi and excellent food. The atmosphere was very relaxed. Our server was great as well. Shareables: Our favorite was the char grilled edamame. Something unique that we have not had anywhere else. The flavor was Amazing! The shishito peppers were delicious and there were definitely a few that were very spicy. The mango crab rangoons were not too sweet and the mango sauce was perfect with it. Sushi: Cherry Bomb was a bit of a let down as it sounds like it will be spicy, and there was really no heat. Good flavors though. Our kids got The Hawaiian. It was okay, but the kids loved it and the sauce it came with. The Rainbow roll, a classic that delivered. The freshness of the fish was spot on. The Tidal Wave was another one for the kids that they loved. Our two favorite rolls. The Crunchy LA and the Lion King. The sweet chili sauce on the Crunchy LA was problematically delicious. The Lion King had so many things that worked. Both were incredibly well balanced. The Gin and Ginger was fantastic. Sometimes Gin can be a little much but this was mild and came together wonderfully. Great happy hour deals! read more

Caitlyn and Felicia (In Training) are super fun, knowledgeable and accommodating. They made our Dining Experience Memorable! The Manager stopped by our table numerous times to see if everything was satisfactory, nice touch! The Staff all seemed to be having fun which is great to see and that is attributed to Great Ownership and Management Training. Drinks were great but how do you run out of Tonic water on a Friday Night, start of Labor Day Weekend? I probably would have run across the parking lot to Bev Mo or the Grocery Store near by, just to get me through the evening or weekend? Food: Crab Rangoon; Fair, Not our favorite Calamari; Pretty tasty light batter and nice touch of sea salt, would order again Cali Roll; a little light on the crab, a lot of rice, very little avocado Truffle Salmon; Interesting Dish, Tasty, Fresh, not sure what to have with it, I should have asked Caitlyn. Very reasonably priced, very clean, well merchandised and love the ambiance and sound level was very refreshing, great for table top conversations. Thanks again to Caitlyn, Felicia and entire staff for making the Dining Experience Enjoyable! read more

Oh my gosh if you haven't been here then you better figure out how to get to Blue sushi. Elena was our server and was fantastic, and so was the rest of the team. Perry, Mark, and every other manager of the company came over to say hello and make us feel so welcome The patio is pet friendly, so bring your four-legged friend and your best friends because this is the best place to hangout and eat delicious food while in divine company 11/10 recommend! Also, if you have any vegetarian/vegan friends this is one of the best spots to bring them and show off a restaurant that caters to everyone's dietary needs/restrictions. Highly recommend the spicy charred edamame, the yellowtail Serrano, tuna tower, and the rolls included in this review. (See pics) Thank you Blue, we love you! read more

Blue Sushi Sake Grill - Sushi Bars Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

Stopped in for Friday happy hour and ate at the bar. We got the Crunchy LA, Crunchy Red, and Cabo rolls. Overall I'd say they were fine but lacked any substantial amount of flavor. For this side of town, it's a decent sushi option but I've certainly had better. Also had a couple Kirin drafts. We wanted to do sake bombs but the bartender told us they're just a tiny amount of beer and a sake shot. Totally different from most sushi spots where they serve a larger beer with a small carafe of sake. The service was also a bit lacking as they had multiple bartenders but we had to keep asking to order, asking for our check, etc. Seemed a little disorganized. The ambiance was nice as they have a big open space with tons of seating, but we likely won't be back here with so many other restaurants in the Prasada area. read more

Meh. Just meh. I was excited to try this spot based on the menu descriptions of the rolls alone. I was fascinated by the vegan sushi options as I've never seen that before. The decor inside is fun and we did not go for HH and that's what everyone raves about. Gave me RA sushi vibes circa early 2000s because the portions are small and prices are high. We ordered: -mango crab ragoons. They were ok. Needed more sauce to make the mango stand out. -crispy rice tuna. Very small portion. I think they took one serving and cut it into four slices. lol. -shishito peppers because of server raved about how amazing the sauce was. But it tasted very ponzu heavy. -cucumber salad. Probably one of the saddest portions Ive had anywhere. I mean, at give me one cucumber worth? lol it was maybe 10 slices of cucumber. -4 rolls all of which didn't have any flavor. I was convinced my tastebuds were broken because everything lacked flavor. The one that actually tasted like anything was because of the spicy mayo and Serrano on top. Rolls were very small but pricey. If I'm paying $16 for a roll, I would expect less rice more fish. The rice was almost a rice patty because it was just overly pressed. Which made it mushy. Service was good but not great. Honestly wasn't great enough to go back. read more

A new sushi place in Prasada that has a very classy vibe. Service was slightly on the slower end albeit very friendly. The rolls while creative seemed to be somewhat bland and lacking the flavor punch I've experienced at other sushi joints. Very reasonable happy hour on rolls drinks and appetizers. Was pleased with our overall experience and I'm glad we gave it a try as it was under construction for a long time but would prefer the other options nearby based on my tastes. That being said it's a good back up option for happy hour if the other restaurants in this complex get busy. read more

Extremely Disappointing Experience I've never been more let down by a restaurant than I was at Blue Sushi Sake Grill. My family of five walked in excited to try the happy hour menu around 3PM. After standing around for 10 minutes without being seated, we were told they only had one server--during a supposed happy hour. Seriously? We came ready to spend good money and enjoy a nice meal together, but instead we got zero service and a complete lack of hospitality. I told the hostess this was a great way to lose business, and we walked out. Never again will I return, and I absolutely won't recommend this place to anyone. read more
