The first time we went it was for weekday dinner for 2 adults and 2 kids, we were disappointed with service. We waited about 30 minutes for our main orders to be taken, and server seems to be overwhelmed with how much tables he has. Our drinks were not refilled and had to ask a different server for it. The quality of the sushi we had and even appetizers were top notch, not your typical buffet sushi place quality. Will try and come back read more

Sushi so good you would have thought it was cooked by the great Chef Sanji himself. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance was great, and I loved the decor. It also wasn't too loud, noisy, or overly busy for a Friday night, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more

East Blue Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

After relocating to Texas from California, we had been on the hunt for a sushi spot that could live up to what we were used to back home. It took some time, but we're so glad we found East Blue Sushi because it absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was clean, welcoming, and well put together. The restaurant has a relaxed yet modern feel that makes it a great place for both casual dinners and special outings. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we felt taken care of without being overbearing. The sushi itself was the highlight. Every roll we tried tasted fresh, well balanced, and beautifully prepared. You can tell they use quality ingredients the fish was fresh, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and the presentation showed real attention to detail. After missing the sushi scene in California, this was exactly what we had been searching for. They also offer a wide variety of appetizers, which made it fun to explore beyond just rolls. The orange chicken was surprisingly good crispy, flavorful, and a great option if you want something different alongside sushi. The monkey brain was especially delicious and is definitely something we'd order again. Overall, East Blue Sushi exceeded our expectations with its fresh food, diverse menu, clean atmosphere, and outstanding service. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality sushi experience in the area. read more

The service was awesome! It was our first time trying East Blue, I've heard so many good things about it and I wanted to give it a try. The price is pretty reasonable at $32 for dinner and $21 for lunch. The quality of fish is very fresh and all the sides taste really good too! read more

We had passed by this place several times but hadn't stopped because we're not fans of buffets. We finally decided to give it a try and I'll tell you what, TRY IT!! It's not your typical buffet spread. The food comes out when you order it, it's fresh, it's hot, and it's DELICIOUS!! The place is beautifully decorated and their food presentation is on point. Our server Arianna was fabulous!! read more

So my friend brought me here this past weekend and I really had a great time. The inside is set up really nice and love the decore. The staff was all friendly and our waitress was very kind. She helped us understand the food and made great recommendations to us we really enjoyed. This is a buffet place so you can order as much as you like ($31.95 per person so gotta get your fill on food). We tried a good amount of food here and was not disappointed. We had the spicy tuna and salmon chips and they were so good. My favorite one though was the salmon chips so delicious! We tried many of the nigiri sushi and the smoked salmon was great. The tuna was also good and not bad on texture. We also did try the iruka salmon eggs and they are a bit salty but wasn't too bad either. We had a roll I believe called the flaming barbie which was great. It had spicy crab with salmon, cream cheese, avocado and good sauce definitely recommend. The miso soup was also refreshing after eating so much. Overall the experience here was great and definitely recommend anyone to try. Definitely get your fill on the sushi! read more

I like it where you can only order so much sushi at a time. It helps cut down on waste. The sashimi is nicely cut, not too thick nor too thin. For those who do not like sushi or sashimi, they also have cooked food. I'm surprised that they have affogato! Service was good. read more

New AYCE spot next to Rolling Oaks Mall. Nice decor and super clean. Love their lighting and the music is awesome! Nice selection of drinks and alcohol. I love that they have a different selection than Umiya which I go to quite a bit. My favorites so far are the spicy tuna chips, rice crispy, yellowtail jalapeño, quail egg shooter, steak teriyaki (thick cuts), yuzu yellowtail and the chicken karaage. Please know the portions are huge compared to other AYCE places. The sashimi cuts are huge; two bite pieces. The Mongolian beef, karaage, and the poke salad were huge portions. The service is wonderful, our drinks stayed full, they gave us plenty of napkins, and kept our table clean. We will be back and we ate fans! *Don't pay attention to the directions on Google or Waze as they aren't correct, just enter rolling oaks mall into your gps and look for it out front. read more

This place is for the extreme sushi lovers and big eaters, it caters to both well. The portion sizes are impressive for an all you can eat, me and my husband both had to roll out the door due to eyes being bigger than our stomachs lol. I got the sweet dreams roll, and the mahalo roll, cucumber salad, and edamame. My husband got the phoenix roll and spider rolls, along with chicken teriyaki, shrimp fried rice, and a scoop of ice cream for dessert. The portion sizes are huge so definitely only order as you eat so you don't end up like us. Service was quick but it's a Wednesday afternoon so we have an advantage there, our waitress was nice. Food presentation was on point, and the music was really pleasant to us since they played mid 2010s hits. The decor was also really nice. Over all we had a great time but will be skipping dinner for sure and taking a nap. read more

I enjoyed sushi here! One of the few places I've seen that offers all you can eat that is mainly just a sushi restaurant. Currently doing a soft opening, but the menu so far has a great list! My server was brand new, but she did an amazing job to explain the menu and rules to me. The rolls that I got were extremely delicious! I would recommend the Hokkaido Pearl Roll! Only thing I did not like is that they limit you to 2 rolls per order per person. When I went, the place wasn't extremely busy, but if it was busy, I'm wondering how long it would take just for me to keep ordering 2 rolls. The restaurant itself was really pretty, and very casual to sit at! I got the Pikachu drink which was really good! read more

If you want some good sushi this is the place! They have an AYCU lunch for $21 and it really is AYCU. I ordered quite a few in the pictures! They were all good sushi's. I ordered the pikachu and it was delicious. Our waitress gave fantastic service and she even gave mini cheesecake bites for my birthday! This place is good for casual dates and the ambiance is there. I'm a little disappointed that they did not have the all-blue menu. Clearly this is a one-piece reference restaurant and Sanji would give it 4 stars for it missing the all blue fish! read more

The atmosphere was relaxing and very clean. We were greeted as soon as we entered and were seated quickly. The waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, we had a great experience. We tried the following - Salmon chips, tuna chips - both were very good but I think the salmon was the best one. Steak Tataki- This was delicious and had a light citrus flavor to it . It looks raw but tasted cooked through. Loved it. Crab Rangoon's- these were yummy and comes with a red dipping sauce. Very creamy and crunchy. Fried vegetable rice- Flaming barbie roll- this was a 8 piece sushi roll. Sooo good! It was very creamy with a kick of spice. I deff recommend trying this one. It didn't need any extra sauce. Cajun Albacore - this was surprisingly good. It tasted similar to a black peppered turkey. Pork belly - these were good. I wish they were crispy but worth trying. Nigiri - we tried smoke salmon, Blackened tuna, and ikura salmon eggs. I wasn't a fan of the eggs due to the texture and how salty they were but the salmon and the tuna were really good. They tasted really fresh. I have no complaints. Miso soup- I had the miso soup last. It had a very earthy and soothing with a great amount of green onions . read more

East Blue's main competition is Umiya. They both have the same flare and aesthetic inside, but East Blue just edging Umiya out in traditional Japanese look to it. The service is top notch, at least for us. Drinks came out quick, and were refilled almost as soon as they went empty. Waitress even gave us more ginger and condiments without even asking. That's some good service! She took the time to explain what everything on the menu meant since we were first timers. Food is amazing, with some caveat. They fall short in some aspects compared to Umiya, but make up for it easily in other areas. First of all, the menu is far more expansive than Umiya, including some Chinese staples like orange chicken or Mongolian beef. The Nigiri menu is HUGE. The dessert menu has more choices. The hand roll option is larger. Where they do fall short are on SOME appetizers. The spicy edamame was just boiled edamame with a spicy seasoning on top. Very little effort. Everything else was swell. Overall, while Umiya and East Blue are two peas of the same pod, I think East Blue edges out Umiya for dinner. As for the lower rating found here, I think it was just new restaurants woes/growing pains. Our visit was seamless and painless! You should definitely give a try for dinner. I have yet to try lunch, but if it's anything like its competition, I'm sure it will be amazing. read more

Excellent all around!! Hands down best sushi in SA and I've lived in Japan. The salmon sashimi was smooth like butter!

Highly recommend and we'll be returning soon!! read more

East Blue Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Rolled in here on a glorious Sunday after a cheeky 18 holes with my old mate Tommy Tough Knuckles. Early tee time, skipped lunch, stomachs growling louder than Tommy's slice off the 9th tee. Naturally, sushi was the call of destiny. "All you can eat," they said. Music to our ears. Ordered the first round, beautiful presentation, fresh, and full of promise. But that's where the magic ended. The runner dropped off the food and vanished quicker than a cold pint on a summer's day. No check-in, no refills, no second round. So what started as all-you-can-eat turned into all-you-can-wait. I could've easily knocked back another couple of rolls, maybe even a cheeky lager, but no one seemed too fussed about that. The buzz I earned out on the course slowly faded, replaced by the kind of silence only bad service can bring. To be fair, the sushi itself was top-notch. Balanced, fresh, genuinely delicious. But service matters. Three stars, purely on the strength of the food. If the staff had shown half as much attention as the sushi chefs, this could've been a five-star day. read more

Been here two times now. The decor is lovely and interior is nice! Coincidently I've also had the same server both times and she's great, always fast to check up and make substitutions/requests. The spicy edamame is not to my taste. It's just got some spice on it, and I prefer ones that are saucy. I like the seaweed salad a lot here, not overwhelming and it's got a nice crunch to it! The crispy rice is our favorite appetizer here, has a nice kick to it. I like this place a lot because there's so many rolls to choose from, and sashimi as well. Not all ayce places have scallop as a choice for sashimi so that was a pleasant surprise for me (although it does come with a sauce on it). This place is worth what you pay for, and if you're big on rolls / sushi itself, I would say this is one of the better spots to go because of the variety and options. read more

Great spot for AYCE sushi! Unbelievable lunch price at $22 per person until 3pm (even on weekends). Love that they honored the price based on what time you got there and not what time you finished. Service was super fast and efficient. When it comes to AYCE, most restaurants are pretty equal in terms of quality to me so sometimes service is a difference maker. Really appreciated the service here and never really had to wait much for drink refills or additional orders. Menu has a ton of variety - nigiri, rolls, handrolls, fried rice/lo mein, and tons of apps. Plenty for you to choose from! Would definitely be back. read more

The food was great. The timing of when they come out can be a little better. Some came out on the next round, one or two didn't come out at all until we reminded our server. I understand this is a fairly new restaurant, so that is a pass. I'll definitely come back though. read more

Date night with my wife because she wanted sushi and I wanted to try this AYCE spot that's not too far from the house. This spot was the old IHOP in front of the Rolling Oaks Mall. When you walk in the entrance still resemble the IHOP layout but that's where it ends. The decor is very tasteful and very cute and cozy. We were greeted by the friendly staff and sat us down very quickly for a Friday night. This place doesn't have a full bar but their cocktails are well done and heavy handed but very tasty! As for the food, this surprised me the most. I recently went to and pretty well known AYCE Sushi spot and was mediocre. But I guess my bar was set too high? Not until this experience. I started off with whitefish and it tasted so good I want more and made me a want to explore their offerings. I went with the mussels which was a bit heavy on the sauce but still very good. I also have to mention that the food all came out fresh. Especially the cooked dishes like the gyoza and combo fried rice. The sushi was indeed the star of the show for me. The combination of flavors they had with their rolls are very well done. I mean it's not all stuffed with cream cheese or covered and soaked with some sort of mayo or spicy tuna. Everything was well seasoned and tasted wonderful. I will want to come back and try more Sushi rolls! read more

My husband and I went on Valentines Day. Waiting time wasn't too long. Service was alright, could use some more help. Service was slow. Had the all you can sushi, sushi took quite a long time to come out. Food was good, nothing too exciting. Didn't like that we had to wait for our sushi and could only order two rolls at a time. Felt like we were being rushed. Over all food was good, I would recommend for the experience. read more

On this day's journey we find ourselves at "Blue Sea Sushi". Upon entering you're politely greeted and taken to your seat, which they have plenty and depending on how busy they can accommodate larger groups. The kind people that take your order are completely helpful, being the first time going didn't know how it worked. She mentioned that the dinner menu is all you can eat option, it's a bit pricey but it's worth it. You have a large variety of sushi's, Asian dishes, appetizers, soups and salads and many more. I started with Crab Rangoon's which were cooked perfectly, then went with a Caterpillar Roll, this place didn't disappoint, the roll was expertly prepared. Then my taste buds were activated with Teriyaki Steak, cooked the meat with the right amount of sauce and was delicious from the first bite to the last. But then I tried the Orange Chicken and it too was delicious, cooked to leave the right amount of crunch on the chicken. But it could be overwhelming with so many options, one thing to know, if you choose the all you can eat option the plate are relatively small so you can choose other menu items, on that note the sushi's are a little bit bigger so take into consideration. Now they do offer a A La Carte menu if you're not that hungry. But overall this is very good option, the people are a big help in guiding you on the menu options. The restaurant is nicely decorated which gives a good atmosphere. I recommend this place. read more

I've eaten here many times. All good but this last visit I noticed the salmon nigiri is so much smaller. The service that afternoon was so slow. I was their first customer. I usually eat lunch alone and previously the wait people were attentive and offered other options. This wait staffer was blah and toward the end they went and sat down to eat. Booo. Others had to clear my used plates. Sorry. I won't seat at their station again. read more

Great food, great service. Everything was fresh and the appropriate temperature. Best sushi buffet I've come across in SA.

This was our second time coming here and it was a lot better this time. Our waiter Bobby was awesome, food came out fast and the restaurant is decorated beautifully. They're still losing one star for telling customers that the crawfish meat is lobster like nobody is notice. read more

My review is based on what happened only. I only left a few thoughts but I just want to state the facts of my experience here. Pros: The restaurant is new, clean, and looks really nice. I was complementing the interior. I was seated right away by hostess/owner. The first two rolls I chose were great. Cons: The nigiri was inedible. First everything had way too much rice. The octopus was too rubbery, the blackened salmon left a really bad smoky after taste that comes out your nose, the squid was EXTREMELY slimy. The tuna was ground up and had a very unpleasant texture. It looked and felt like eating ground beef. WHY would you ground up perfectly good tuna? I also ordered a roll with scallop as the main protein but I received an imitation crab roll. All of the appetizer salads came out dry without much sauce so I had to request spicy mayo to help me finish the food. I had to wash it down with coke every bite. I felt like I was suffering to eat it to not waste food. :( Service was a bit slow. Only one person servicing multiple tables so it took a while for my order to come through. My waitress also gave me some rules and limitations when it came to ordering my food, such as 7 appetizers per round, 10 nigiris per round but they forgot a few of my orders. Just too much nonsense and rules for an AYCE restaurant. I wouldn't come here again. Umiya is superior in terms of quality, taste, variety, speed and service for the exact same price. read more

Walking in, we were greeted promptly -- no wait at all, which was a great start. Our server (wish I caught her name) was super nice and attentive throughout the night. The vibe was clean, welcoming, and organized for a new spot. What we tried (a lot): * Rice Crispy w/ Spicy Tuna -- crunchy, spicy, sweet, perfectly balanced. * Poke Salad (salmon + two types of tuna, ponzu/house sauce, hydroponic greens) -- fresh and packed with protein. * Blackened Albacore Salad -- peppery, bright, and delicious. * Oysters on the half shell -- super fresh with ponzu & scallions. * Baked Mussels -- could've been hotter, but flavor was unique (not your usual "copy & paste" mussels around SA). * Steak Tataki -- melt-in-your-mouth, one of the best bites of the night. * Assorted Sushi/Sashimi (mackerel, snapper, Cajun yellowtail, tako, tuna, crab salad variations) -- clean flavors and good quality. * Quail Egg Shots -- citrusy, tangy, refreshing if you're adventurous. Even the table next to us agreed. * Shrimp Fried Rice & Cajun Fries -- solid sides, great for kids. * Cut Rolls (Spicy Tuna, Spicy Crab, Spicy Salmon, YumYum Scallop) -- Spicy Tuna was my favorite: simple, fresh, satisfying. * House Rolls (Crazy Yellowtail, Golden Knight) -- hefty and flavorful. * Pork Belly Teriyaki -- the appetizer MVP. Crispy edges, tender inside, and that teriyaki glaze was excellent. Drinks: The East Blue Old Fashioned was also a nice surprise -- smooth and balanced. What stood out: sauces felt truly house-made, which is refreshing in a city where too many AYCE spots taste the same. Portion sizes were generous, sushi was fresh, and overall quality exceeded what we usually expect from all-you-can-eat. Now for the small stuff: we did notice a couple of items didn't make it to the table, and the menu process wasn't explained up front (it's similar to another AYCE in town, so we figured it out). Not deal breakers at all -- just part of the usual "new restaurant" learning curve. Bottom line: For $31.95 per person (Sunday dinner), this was a solid experience. Friendly staff, clean environment, fresh fish, and unique flavors that don't feel like carbon copies of other SA spots. We'll definitely be back, and I think this place has a ton of potential once the crew gets fully settled in. Big props to the small team of chefs and staff working hard to make it happen. read more
