Love this place, best sushi around. Highly recommend and the happy hour is out of this world!!

Blue Sushi Sake Grill was definitely a vibe. This was a last-minute stop after shopping in the Westlake area, and I'm glad we ended up here. I have a shellfish allergy, so I don't usually gravitate toward sushi spots, but this place surprised me in the best way. The veggie roll and the shiitake "to me" roll were both amazing. I also tried the beef hot pot, which was a new experience for me, and it did not disappoint. What stood out most is how many options they have for people with allergies, as well as for anyone who's vegan or vegetarian. That made the whole experience feel a lot more accessible and enjoyable. Definitely a win, and I'd absolutely go back. read more

Obsessed with how extensive the happy hour menu is especially for all day Sunday! Crunchy red is my new obsession: the Serrano and the tempura adds spice and crunch and is a must try! We came on a snowy Sunday surprised to see how busy it was but no reservation needed because the space is huge! read more

Stopped in for happy hour and totally worth it. The Spanish Fly roll (yellowtail, spicy crab, and tuna) was legit one of the best rolls I've had in a while. Super fresh and just the right kick. Happy hour deals were solid. Margaritas were surprisingly good (not the watered-down kind) and the calamari was crispy and actually had flavor -- would 100% get it again. The staff was awesome too. Really friendly and gave great suggestions from their huge specialty menu. You can tell they actually care about what they're serving. Definitely coming back. Great vibe, great food, great drinks. read more

Ate here for lunch on Saturday at opening. Wasn't busy. Service was good. Paid parking though. The happy hour selection was good. I enjoyed the mango Rangoon, calamari, lettuce wraps, sashimi, and I forgot what rolls we got but it was delicious. Pretty good sushi for Cleveland area! read more

This is a nice sushi spot! I often stop by to get my kid the little bento box, which is always a hit. It comes with fruit, edamame, your choice of rice or noodles, and a sushi roll--all for about $11. It's filling, and the service is always fast and friendly. The interior decor is pretty standard for an Asian restaurant of this type. I tried the Cloud 92.0, and while it wasn't my favorite, that's just personal preference, not a reflection of the restaurant. I've had other sushi from here, and it was good! read more

Went to back to Cleveland after a 4 year hiatus. I used to work in Crocker and I would get Blue Sushi when it first opened.. went back today.. now I know why there was barely anyone in the there.. it totally changed.. FOR THE WORSE! Our server was the bartender who was nice but he wasn't busy- he only had 3 other people at the bar and I think one other table. If that's busy I would hate to see a rush. He never came back to check on us.. our food was delivered very slowly by food runners.. our first sushi was fine but it was 35 minutes after we ordered.. we each got a bowl of rice that was flat out as cold as ice cubes. Our second role was a cold mush and when we asked for forks- the bartender was too busy talking to his friends (coworkers) with our forks in his hands.. so we were just sitting there looking at our food we waited forever for. After biting into the cold food by people who didn't care; we had enough. We asked for the bill. Left and gave the Cheesecake Factory our business who was more than happy to receive us. Hate to sound like a Karen, but I will never ever be back! Very very disappointed! read more

Delicious food and great vibes! We came here for date night and enjoyed a few rolls. Everything tasted really fresh. Highly recommend and we will be back! read more

Went with a party of 5 for a late/light dinner. We ordered 6 rolls total and it took roughly 75 minutes for our food to be brought out. The restaurant was not busy. At around the 40 minute mark our waitress told us there was an issue with the printer that caused our order to not be received and then 35 minutes later we got our food. They comped the rolls but charged for drinks. Sushi was good but obviously not a great experience. read more

Everyone should come here on Sunday's because of their happy hour. Their sushi tastes very good and fresh, I would come again. The only thing I was surprised on was we ordered a sake bomb and they gave us half a glass of the beer and didn't give us the other half of the beer. I had never seen that before but I guess since it was on happy hour you only get half? Other than that, I recommend the place and the service was great! read more

Came here for the first time with two coworkers when I was in Westlake for work. Did not know it was a chain and was told it was amazing. Sidenote, I'm born and raised in New York City. So I think my expectations were something else and I was very much disappointed. The rolls were decent, but they didn't have any classic sushi rolls that you would find in any Japanese restaurant. Like a tuna or yellowtail or eel. I felt each roll had way too many ingredients that did not belong in a sushi roll. I liked the edamame, wontons and crispy rice much more than any of the rolls. The ginger Yuzu cocktail I had was quite delicious. But if you're looking for good sushi, I would not recommend coming here however I am not from the area so maybe this is the best place given what's in the surrounding restaurants. The service was great, very attentive. The space was nice as well. I went for a 5:30 PM dinner so it wasn't loud or crowded. read more

Blue Sushi Sake Grill is a chain that has restaurants in about a dozen states. I made a reservation for two people for this particular restaurant in Cleveland. The menu listed foods such as miso soup, seaweed salad, edamame, nigiri, sashimi, maki, chocolate spring rolls, and mochi ice cream. A full bar offered beverages such as sake, cocktails, wines, beers, teas, and other non-alcoholic drinks. Please see my attached photos for the menu in May 2024. I appreciated that options were available for raw, not-raw, fish, and vegan foods. The seating hostess promptly seated my husband and me at a table that was sticky and could have been cleaned better. The waitress's service was very, very slow. I think that she was actually the bartender and that the restaurant was understaffed. My husband and I waited many, many minutes to order our drinks and foods. We had ordered a total of four foods, and the waitress brought out only three of the foods. At the end of our meal, we told her that she never gave us the fourth food, so she asked a manager to remove it from our bill. Here are our ratings for the foods: Mango crab rangoon - 4 stars - Crispy wonton wrappers were filled with crab, cream cheese, and scallions and served on top of mango and pepper sauces. These crab rangoons tasted good but were slightly oilier than what other restaurants serve. Spicy sake maki - 4 stars - Five pieces of maki contained raw salmon, cucumber, and spices. The ingredients were fresh but could have used slightly more flavor. Cabo roll - 4.5 stars - Eight pieces of raw maki contained tuna, crab, and cucumber. My husband said that this maki tasted very good. Cherry bomb nigiri - ? - We ordered this entree but never received it. Yelp's app had notified me of a $10-off coupon, so I presented it to the waitress, and she deducted $10 from our bill. (Thank you, Yelp!) Overall, the prices were reasonable. The waitress told my husband and me "Thank you" and "Have a good day." read more

Stopped on New Year's Day for lunch. We had a great experience and the items we had were fire. Service was also great. Started with shishitos and rangoons. Swear I would have ordered more and just ate those if I wanted to just be a big back. So good! Had the Crunchy LA and tried the Cowgirl. Again, really good! We will be back. read more

Enjoyed a quick bite after doing some shopping at Crocker Park. We loved the sushi rolls and wine selection. The lettuce wraps were delicious. Bartenders were friendly. Music was a little loud but it was a Friday night! My only complaint was that I ordered the Hot Rock Beef and they did not bring me a grilling utensil or a fork. Additonally, there was no second plate so I had to put my cooked beef back on my raw meat plate. That process needs a little fine tuning but overall the beef was delicious and the spicy yuzu ponzu sauce was to die for. Will be back! read more

We made a reservation for Saturday night but they had open tables available too. We started out with cocktails that were delicious. Love the unique Japanese spin on classic cocktails. We shared 3 rolls and one Nigiri and it was the perfect amount for my husband and I. The cherry bomb was actually my favorite. But they all were fresh and the rice slightly warm which I love. For the Midwest, this was really great sushi! read more

Underwhelming . Someone in the kitchen needs to learn how to cook sushi rice . Mushy and cold rice is NOT sushi rice . Weird tasting ginger and wasabi ..kinda like cleaner fluid . This place needs staffing changes and kitchen changes for me to ever return . I shouldn't have gone to a sushi restaurant in Ohio . read more

This has been one of my favorite sushi/happy hour spots for quite a while. The quality of the food and drinks during happy hour really is a great deal. There have been a few changes to the menu, but still a great variety of options and happy hour is all day on Sunday! The service is always friendly and typically very timely. I did have one visit recently where my niece's food came out really late. I had actually already finished my food by the time hers came out. Not sure if the kitchen forgot/missed the order or what. My server was apologetic and fixed the issue. Everyone has an off day, so I just counted it as that. read more

This is the most amazing sushi restaurant in Cleveland! They have an extensive vegan menu, and if you order 7-8+ rolls (nd request it) they bring it out in a boat! It was my birthday, so they gave us complimentary dessert. The service was excellent and very attentive. The decor was beautiful, and really helped set the mood. I can't wait to return! read more

I love Blue Sushi Sake Grill! I've been to another location and it's always a great spot with delicious sushi. Recently visited the Crocker Park location during their all day happy hour on Sunday and it's such a great deal. We ordered three rolls, the truffle salmon sashimi, yellowtail serrano sashimi and crab rangoons with two drinks and it was only around $65. The server was very friendly and all of the sushi was so fresh. I also love their cocktails -- the china doll is delicious. Definitely recommend visiting! read more

This is my favorite west side sushi restaurant, the fish is so fresh my favorite is the truffle salmon sashimi. They also have a really tasty crab soup. The crispy Brussels are also very tasty. They are the only sushi restaurant that has chard edamame available everywhere else it's usually just steamed. Definitely get the chard edamame spicy with garlic. The staff at this restaurant are really great and I always get fast and friendly service every time I come in. read more

Had a good time, decent service, and food was delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming I'll be returning.

LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE HERE! So pretty and "chill". I am not a huge raw fish person but the veggie sushi I got was to die for, also got the appetizer "beef hot rock" was very fun- also tasty. I would also recommend the charred edamame over it's original counter part. Went on a weekday evening and wasn't' busy and had great fast service. Lots of fun for a girls night out. read more

Pretty solid place for sushi. I really enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant. The water with a slice of cucumber just fits the vibe perfectly. We ordered the mango crab rangoon. I really liked the mixture of flavors and the slight hint of mango. I however thought they were too creamy for my liking. We also ordered the Crunchy LA which was pretty good. I just wish there was more sweet chili on it. read more

Really enjoyed lunch here with my niece. It wasn't super crowded when we arrived but more and more tables filled while we were there. There's metered parking right there and also free lots if you walk a bit. We started with mango crab Rangoon. They were advertised to have mango inside but I didn't have any. The mango dipping sauce was good. I really enjoyed the Flamingo Lingo roll (crab, cucumber, salmon, big eye tuna). Very fresh and stunning to look at. Our server was fine - not overly friendly or attentive - just fine. To me, their rolls seemed overpriced. I've gone to other places with larger rolls for less money, even specialty rolls. The reason I added a star is because they have a very extensive vegan selection on their menu which is quite unique. I'm not vegan but very nice for those with dietary preferences that suit that. read more

Came here Thursday evening and my wife forgot her purse, we tried to call as soon as we noticed on the way home, about 20 minutes after they closed and they seem to cut their phones off immediately at 10PM and say to call back during business hours. Went back in to ask about it and the first question I got from the guy at the hostess stand was "what was in it"?". A set of our house keys and a crochet project if you must know, among other things that aren't your business, but interesting first question! Glad to know that the first thing you do when deciding whether to hang onto a customer's fogotten purse is rifle through it for valuables. He looked in a drawer at the hostess stand and said we must not have it. I asked if there was anywhere in the back maybe that you might keep lost items, and he went back into the kitchen and talked to somebody for about ten seconds, I could see him over the partition in the bar. My wife called later hoping to speak with someone who might look and apparently he was still there and yelled that "we don't have your bag" into the phone, apparently interrupting someone else who was actually being quite helpful and making a good faith effort. We had it when we went in, we forgot it there, and noticed on the way home, we didn't go anywhere else, it wasn't rocket science to figure out where we left it. It was probably thrown away (doubt it was stolen but you never know with weird defensive communication like that), and it'd be nice to just know if that's what you like to do with your lost and found at the end of the night. Dive bars regularly do a much better job at this, it happens fairly often. This was a place we really enjoyed and frequented, they have a handful of decent vegan options, and we always had a good experience with everyone else we interacted with there, it's a real bummer to have such a terrible experience like this because I feel like we can never go back or recommend anyone else go there ever again if they're going to do things like pitch your purse in the dumpster and then be weird about it. "We don't really keep bags", dude, what? read more

The ambiance is pretty, picture pre-war Japan meets California surfing. The sushi is pretty fresh and tasty. It's definitely a good date spot. Mid range prices. The cocktails are also creative and good with an Asian twist. The service is usually good but sometimes the hosts are inattentive. read more

I always travel to the west side for amazing food and this place did not disappoint- worth the drive to Crocker Park! Starting from the mango crab Rangoons, to the happy hour sushi rolls (crunchy LA, tidal wave, etc)- everything was delicious. If you like edemame, highly recommend asking for the spicy and CHARRED edemame- absolutely delicious, we were fighting over the table for it. My friends also enjoyed their drinks, of which they had a large variety of cocktails and mocktail options (if you request). Presentation of the food was beautiful and the restaurant was spacious. Service was speedy and they even helped us arrange a special treat for our friend's birthday at the end of dinner. Fun fact- all day happy hour on Sundays including drink and food specials. I was shocked that it was not busier for the quality and the price. read more

First let me start off by explaining the 4 stars. We had three Japanese Engineers with us this week and they wanted to try American Sushi. Now we are in Cleveland so American grade sushi is not what they are accustomed. We had an assortment of different fish and rolls a well as miso soup and finished with traditional hot green tea. Now to my pallet it was all very good but to the guests it was nowhere near authentic. The server definitely was not trained but then again he was there so in today's world that is a plus. The restaurant is bright, colorful and hip and my American Standards very good. read more

The server was knowledgeable and helped make sure we knew our options. Sushi chosen was spicy and very good. Cloudy sake flight was solid. Overall, clean and well run service. I didn't realize it was a chain restaurant, solid dinner read more

I love coming here for happy hour and lunch as the prices are great along with the same high quality food! Sadly they got rid of a favorite vegan maki roll of mine but they added some other cool ones. Staff is always really kind and so is the ambiance. The drinks are not strong but definitely enjoyable the saketini is my absolute favorite. I always get the tuna crispy rice and the Brussels sprouts. You also HAVE TO TRY THE CHERRY BOMB!! read more
