I have been to Blue several times…read more The lion king is one of the best sushi offerings at Blue. We usually order the tuna tower, and since it was a slow afternoon it's understandable that the rice may be older or not as fresh, but it's still a great dish to order. We also ordered the ceviche (not pictured) but recommend it too! The service is always friendly and attentive and the ambiance is always nice.

All day Sunday. Generally make it here every time that I get to town. If you had told me how much time I would have spent in Des Moines twenty years ago, I would have said you are nuts. Rolls range from $6.50 to $10.75 on HH. Had the Cali Roll and Crunchy L.A. tonight. Both great. No cucumber on either. Nothing ruins a good piece of sushi like Cucumber. Glass of Chard for $6.50. Leaving pleasantly full and looking forward to my next visit.

This time I was able to be in town for their Monday Specials 'All you can eat rolls for $7.99' in house. Their list is pretty comprehensive, and I ordered some extras as my favorites too.

So the waiter asked her 3 questions and picked one for her. It was like a fun "which food are you" game. He chose something we both thought was yummy. I think it was called the 515. The waiter was so quick, many times he dropped something off or picked something up and I didn't even notice he had been there. The pineapple sake was refreshing. The view from the restaurant was nice as well, the brick building and the trees. I will happily come back next time I'm in town.

I came here for a lunch with my daughter. Walking in the place is modern, nicely decorated and very clean. We were greeted and seated very politely and fast. The menu is large, no pics sorry.

All of the fish was very fresh. The service was adequate but not overly friendly. They had a steady lunch crowd come and go while we were there. We will return to try more options!
