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.

    I’ve been to this location 7 times, and last night I wasn’t completely pleased. Long wait times on food- which my vegetarian friend and I didn’t care about. But she received a roll, which we thought was vegan Salmon. It was regular. We didn’t find that out until after we ate the roll. I also ordered a dessert, which never came. I will 1000% be coming back because I love Blue, and the happy hour. Just a couple bumps this visit.

    Amazing as always. Biggest compliment every single time is not bringing food out at the same time. Half our table got their meals and the rest sat for another 20. This happens every single time we have more than 5 people. It is so annoying. Fix that issue and we would have zero complaints.

    During our visit, we found the seats to be extremely slippery, which made us worry about our child's safety. Unfortunately, the slippery condition extended to the floor inside as well. On a positive note, the food was enjoyable, but we were disappointed with the significant delay in its arrival. Considering the overall experience, I regret to say that I won't be returning to this restaurant for a second visit. It would be beneficial for the management to address the slippery seats for the safety of their customers.

    Hello, Shima. Thanks for coming in and giving us a try. We can honestly say that no guest of ours has ever complained to us about our seats being slippery. Now that you've mentioned this though, we're certainly going to look into this. Thank you for letting us know. Appreciatively, -BSSG & FRG

    The music was a little bit too loud for my liking. The food was pretty good, but there were no options for the sushi hater in my group. The service left a little bit to be desired. We were celebrating a birthday, so planned to order a dessert, but no one even offered and I wasn't going to ask after waiting forever for someone to come to our table with the check. We got our food promptly, but no one checked on us after that. We needed drink refills, and would have liked to get the check sooner.

    We visit Blue pretty often and it’s one of our favorite places in Lincoln. The food was amazing as usual this time, but service left much to be desired. Felt very transactional and cold. It took about 20 minutes after asking for water refills for them to be refilled, our server didn’t really visit the table except to drop something off, there was no quality check or greeting to see how things were going or if we needed refills on drinks. Had to ask for another drink when she was asking if we wanted the check.

    My partner and I have been to Blue many times before and we keep coming back for the vegan sushi selection and friendly service. We decided on a whim to go out for their Sunday happy hour deals and Blue did not disappoint. The vegan selection far exceeds other sushi restaurants especially since most of them aren’t very creative. Blue is our favorite place for an amazing happy hour bite and a cocktail in the Haymarket.

    Food and service was great, but we got sat in front of the west door and it was FREEZING. My dinner guest kept her coat on during the whole meal. :( If ya'll ever do a remodel, a focus on better sound acoustics, it's always so loud up in there. That said, staff was well organized and worked together as a team, they made sure our waters and drinks didn't go empty, smiles on faces, table was ready at our reservation time and we had no problem getting our bills paid and out the door in time for the show we were headed to. Great job Lincoln Blue!
