About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Blue Sushi Sake Grill unites creative ingredients with energetic vibes, premium cold sake with happy moments to give you a fresh and fun new way to experience sushi. Our sushi and grill menus allow you to explore your sushi favorites in new and unexpected ways. We like to say that sushi is for sharing, and our menu encourages it. Order a spread of all your maki, nigiri and sashimi favs from the sushi bar, and throw in a few orders of starters from the grill. We'll stagger your plates so you can savor it all bite-by-bite, and maximize the sushi experience you've been craving all week. If you're not sure where to start, tour the menu during Happy Hour, where all our guest favorites — from our sushi, grill and drink menus — are available at an amazing value. We offer Happy Hour every day of the week at Blue Sushi Sake Grill!

    Awesome happy hour! The three of us had 4 rolls, 2 alcoholic drinks, an appetizer, and a Japanese soda for less than $50. Cheaper than fast food almost!

    We came here yesterday after being at the farmer's market and it did not disappoint! Symphony, our server, was tremendous. The patio was beautiful to be on. We felt like we could hang there for hours. 10 out of 10 on the sushi as well!

    Waited several minutes for anyone to greet me when I arrived. We barely saw our server. Had to flag down another server to bring us our food that was sitting there, ready, as we waited and waited.

    I am so glad we found Blue Sushi Sake Grill on Court Ave. The food was delicious, fresh and reasonable. Service was attentive but not intrusive. I love the interior of the restaurant and look forward to sitting outside on our next visit.
