Enjoyed the green goddess and vegan sputh paciific rolls. The best roll was eden roll by far. Also enjoyed the coco hydration. The appitizer for mango crab ragoons were served efficiently and in a hot manner. Server was so kind. Easy to take advantage of some great happy hour deals too. The music was mix of kpop and soft indie rock. Easy music to enjoy food with! read more

Blue Sushi Sake Grill - Tidal Wave, Crunchy L.A., Philadelphia, Green Eggs And Hama, Shrimp Tempura, and Ikura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westwood, Kansas

Came here with a group for a Mother's Day sushi lunch before our main dinner plans, and it was the perfect "snack" stop. They had all-day happy hour going on, which made the pricing feel just right for the quality we received. The drink menu has some really fun highlights. One friend tried a unique peach margarita made with sake, but the star for me was the "Night Swim" sake from Kyoto. It was served in a container that looked exactly like fish food--hilarious presentation, but the flavor itself was no joke. It was incredibly smooth and tasty. As for the food: Mango Crab Rangoon: A really cool, creative take on the classic. It had a nice balance of spicy sweetness and was perfectly crunchy. Cherry Bomb Maki: This was a standout--fried tuna and salmon with a kick from jalapeño and serrano peppers, finished with a subtle hint of cherry sauce. Crunchy Blue Roll: Also extremely flavorful and fresh. The only reason I'm knocking off one star is because they forgot the ginger and wasabi when my first roll arrived. However, the food and atmosphere were great enough that I will definitely be back! read more

First time trying anything raw and I have to admit, I'm super impressed with what I had, along with a few go-to rolls (Bīto Maki 2.0, Cowgirl, Crunchy Cabbage, Super Asparagus) & charred edamame. New to me: Tuna Tataki, Philadelphia (Raw), and Ceviche. All of these were absolutely delicious! For the ceviche, we opted to have the spicier togarashi on the side--I added a sprinkling to a bite--yum, but am glad it was on the side! Kyla was our server and she was great; she explained the menu and was knowledgeable about the foods on the menu. We were celebrating a birthday--I had made reservations via Open Table--it was nice they added a card from the staff for the birthday Mom! We went Monday during lunch and it was nice because it wasn't too crowded and we could carry on a conversation easily. Now I have new favorites--too bad the Tuna Tataki didn't have an even number... ;) read more

Wow!!! The place was busy on this early Friday night. We walked in and were told there's a 1.5-hour wait!! I spotted a couple of empty chairs in the bar area so we quickly grabbed those and ordered drinks. It was still happy hour so we ordered a couple of appetizers as well. The place was lively and packed with hungry guests like us. We kept ordering 2 items at a time so it was a little crazy to see a $200 bill in the end. Lol. It was all worth it. Our server was very attentive and wasn't fazed by the business of his area. I recommend the Cherry Bomb, Cloud Nine 2.0 and the Spanish Fly. Calamari was just okay. I took pictures but the lighting at the bar wasn't so great so all my photos are red, lol. read more

The food - Very well done. The sushi was very good; however, it was nothing fantastic. At the cost of a roll, it should be able to wow the audience. I love sushi, and places like this tend to increase the price while not giving any additional value. Which drives up the price of the dish across the area. Food gets 3.5 stars for being good but not great. Service - Oh, wow. We had the friendliest waiter... that knew nothing about sushi, the restaurant, cocktails, or how to use his handheld machine... which he forgot at our table not once... not twice... yep... three times. - maybe a 3-star on the high end? Ambiance - The place is not uncomfortable... and they do have some neat things on the walls. But there is no sound dampening in the building, and dinner time was pretty noisy. The comfy seats, though, still give a well-rounded atmosphere - so 4.25 stars for ambiance. Loss of most stars is to a bar that can't make a good Old Fashioned. If all else fails, look it up on YouTube. I'll wait, and you can get it right. read more

Went to Blue Sushi during Restaurant Week, which was a great deal and a fun way to try a variety of items from the menu. The cucumber (comber) appetizer was excellent--fresh, well-seasoned, and a great start to the meal. The sushi rolls were very delicious, with the Thriller roll being the standout and my personal favorite. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The ambience was great as well. Dessert was solid as well--we had the chocolate spring rolls, which were a nice, sweet way to end the meal. The only downsides were the drinks and service. The cocktails didn't taste like they had much liquor, and service was very slow--we had to ask for things multiple times before receiving them. That said, it was a busy weekend, so it was understandable. Overall, great food and a good Restaurant Week experience. I'd definitely come back, especially for the sushi. read more

So delicious! We were able to get in quickly without a reservation (though I do recommend making one - we got lucky) and our server was very attentive. All our food came out promptly, everything tasted so good and fresh, and the rolls came out beautifully plated. This is definitely going to be added to my sushi restaurant rotation! Bonus - I really appreciated how the menu was separated into "Raw" and "Not Raw" for those patrons looking for one or the other without having to guess! read more

Popped into Blue Sushi for a Friday Happy Hour. Love that it goes until 6:30 and you can make a reservation! Service was great, as usual, and everything comes up when ready so it very fresh.

The atmosphere was very modern and was busy for a Wednesday. We sat at the bar as they had a 45 min wait. Bar staff was friendly and provided excellent service. The menu had many fusion items along with traditional sushi favorites. I really enjoyed the coconut crab soup as I wanted something different. The fish was very fresh and tasted excellent and had a great texture. Tried some different rolls that I have not seen before wrapped in a BBQ soy paper and it was good. Will be back read more

This is one of my favorite places for sushi! I come here often for their happy hour and the service and ambiance is always amazing! Good date night spot as well. My favorites are their tuna crispy rice appetizer and the crunchy blue roll. I've also tried the crunchy LA roll, the steak hot rock, & the truffle salmon & all of those options are also phenomenal. Also is a good/safe area, and there are lots of parking spaces in the lot so no need to worry about street parking :) read more

Stopped in for my birthday dinner, we were able to get in and get a table right away. Staff was friendly and quick to take orders. The food was amazing. The crab Rangoon was some of the best I have had. It was filled with crab and lite on the cream cheese. I could sit and eat sushi all day long!!! Nothing that go brought to our table stood a chance. Their cocktail menu was also really good with a few NON-Alcoholic options as well. I am always excited to come here to eat!! read more

A large group of us dined here for dinner and it did not disappoint! We ordered a wide variety of items off their menu and cant say we were disappointed with any of them. I especially liked the ponzu with cilantro and some chile peppers! so good! Our waitress was excellent! And the restaurant itself has a very fun and vibrant feel. Definitely recommend! Make those reservations though! read more

While we were staying downtown KC for the draft, we decided to pop on over to Blue Sushi Sake Grill for lunch

I mostly visit for Happy Hour sushi on Sundays. The value for these sushi rolls is tough to beat. I recommend reservations just in case, but it might not always be necessary. The service is always great, but it seems like there's always a delay in "back of house." Some visits the sushi is delayed, and on some visits the hot food is delayed. It's inconvenient with kids, but our servers have been transparent most of the time. read more

I always enjoy this place. Their happy hours are delicious and affordable. It a must in the KC region!

The food was absolutely delicious--no complaints there. Unfortunately, the service was confusing. While we were still actively eating, our server took one of our plates that still had food on it. It caught us completely off guard and made the experience feel rushed. Great food, but the service could definitely be more attentive. read more

Blue Sushi Sake Grill will always hold a special place in our hearts -- it's where my husband and I reconnected, and also where he proposed to me during a surprise birthday dinner. Beyond the memories, the food is consistently amazing. The sushi is fresh and delicious, with so many great options to choose from. The service is always wonderful, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of relaxing and inviting. Whether you're celebrating something special or just grabbing a casual meal, this is a spot that never disappoints! read more

This is a top notch sushi place. The flavors! Oh my! Loved everything we had. We started with the crispy rice cakes, ceviche and beef hot rock. All worthy of getting again. We additionally had the Serrano tuna (2 orders because it was so good), the Roja and negi yellowtail. Again. Very good but I think we enjoyed the appetizers and sashimi more than the rolls. Our server was exceptional and we had a fabulous experience. We will definitely return! read more

Love the Thai hippie sushi. Lettuce wrap was good too. Many veg options. Both dishes were filling and good for price. Happy hour deals are best too.

Best sushi place in KC! I definitely would recommend the china doll drink. I always get the crunchy la roll, it is my fav sushi ever! The ceviche & crab rangoon appetizers are very good as well. Great vibe to the place as well & can usually just walk in to get a table. read more

It's official: we love Blue Sushi! The service and food are top notch and we were pleasantly surprised by how well taken care of we were. Some menu highlights: the house marg, miso soup, maguro nigiri and lion king roll. Everything was so delicious and we did not try one single thing we didn't like (pictures would've been taken but that's how quickly we devoured everything!). My husband raved the whole way home about what a good pick Blue Sushi was for date night and I can't help but agree. We will definitely be back to try other things and we can't wait! read more

I had a holiday work party here and was super impressed with the service and the food. It was during happy and we had no reservation. I arrived first and got seating for 7 (even though only 5 showed up). There was no wait and the staff were super accommodating. I started with the Samurai Saketini-cucumber infused vodka, unfiltered sake, and lime. This cocktail was so refreshing. It would be lovely on a hot summer day or evening. I definitely recommend. The water they serve also had a little cucumber slice in it. Super nice touch. We ordered a variety of shareables and rolls so I got to try quite a few things. One member in our party has a shellfish allergy and the staff was so accommodating. They seriously went above and beyond to make sure that she wouldn't have a reaction. Super impressed. Back to food, we tried the mango crab rangoon-crab mix, mango, cream cheese, served with mango and Fresno pepper sauces. It was good. They use imitation crab so no allergy concerns with this dish. We got a few orders of the crispy rice cakes-topped with bigeye tuna and tataki sauce. I loved these! It was a nice little appetizer and got me in the mood for some sushi. We also ordered the lettuce wraps- sautéed all-natural chicken breast with garlic, ginger, cashews & peanut sauce, served with butter lettuce cups, cucumber sunomono, sesame noodles, carrots, crispy rice noodles & sweet chili sauce. These were gorgeous and so delicious and fresh. I would again order this on a return visit. Finally rolls. I ordered the Philadelphia-raw salmon, cream cheese, scallion, cucumber. Again, deliciousness. Fresh. No complaints. You can opt for smoked salmon instead. I did try a bite of the California roll and the Lion King. Both delicious. Everything was great and I can't wait to return to try more things! Definitely check them out! read more

I will simply never forget how incredibly good this meal was. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and offered his recommendation (the lion king) which was easily one of the best rolls I've ever had. The tidal wave, hotel cali and mango crab Rangoon were also very good but... the yellow tail Serrano.... Life changing. Absolutely unbelievably good. Loved the vibe, loved the bar, will be back very soon. read more

Huge shout out to Faith our fantastic server, who treated a couple of birthday queens like VIP! This menu can be a little busy but Faith talked us through flavors and textures to arrive at our perfect bites. Unique drinks and roll combinations have no end and are delightfully adjustable to tweak to personal preference. Space fits so many different vibes but low key popular kid clique just barely shows up. Decent parking lot. Definitely in keeping in the dining rotation:) read more

**Sushi + Happy Hour = Ohhh YES!** Blue Sushi Sake Grill is where sushi dreams come true! Their rolls? Super fresh, flavorful, and totally irresistible. And the drinks? Unique, delicious, and the perfect pair for sushi vibes. If you're a happy hour fan (who isn't?!), you *need* to check them out--deals that make your taste buds dance! And don't even get me started on the *crab coconut soup*... creamy, dreamy, and absolutely to die for. So grab your sushi squad and roll into Blue--your taste buds will thank you! read more

I made a last minute reservation for 6 people and they were able to get us in right away. The decor is beautiful and adds a moody feel. At our table a few people ordered salads, I ordered lettuce wraps and the rest ordered sushi. The dishes were brought to our table one at a time as the kitchen made them, as opposed to be serving as a table all at once. The people with the salads had to awkwardly waiting over 15 minutes for the rest of the table to get their food. The lettuce wraps were just okay. The cucumber salad needed more flavor and the chicken with the peanut sauce was very oily. 3/5 for a non sushi eater. read more

We used to live near here and would come occasionally over the years. Life has changed and with two small kids and a new neighborhood, we forgot about it but I have to say our recent visit was great! One of the surprise highlights? Their kids menu. They have little kids bento boxes that come with berries, a choice of protein (one got salmon, the less adventurous eater got chicken tenders) and edamame. My kids tore through it, and even casually ate up all of the calamari appetizer (I was shocked.) In a sea of fries + burger kids combos, this was so welcome and we will return on that alone. But other improvements since we had last been here were how quickly the sushi rolls came out. When they were new, it took longer than anticipated, but this is more finely tuned now. I enjoyed both rolls; a spicy tuna and a "Lion King" with crab, cucumber, avocado, eel sauce and a chili aioli. We were here on a Sunday which is all-day happy hour; the prices will remind most of a regular restaurant in the before times. Very fair overall. I showed my server the Yelp check in offer they have up for free edamame and they did not honor it, which isn't that big of a deal but I do suggest that they remove it just to avoid the confusion. All in all, a fun and approachable vibe, and lowkey great spot to take the kids. read more

Atmosphere was nice. Decor is sorta quirky but fun. Ample seating. Happy hour on a Wednesday afternoon wasn't packed, but there were a good amount of tables. Not too loud so conversation was easy. The sushi was good, with some creative sashimi, nigiri, and sushi that you won't see at other places. I particularly liked the cherry bomb, though it packed some heat! The cocktails and mocktails are also nice. I would definitely recommend this for happy hour. read more
