    Our reservation was at 5:30 and we were seated right away, even a few minutes early which was nice. However, I informed the waitress that I was pregnant therefore I could not have raw sushi and would be ordering cooked and vegan sushi only. She assured me she would put a note in that the kitchen would change gloves and sanitize their work stations for our sushi rolls. We waited over an hour to receive our food, and when she brought our plate it had a raw sushi roll on it. She stated that they accidentally made the non-vegan option but she figured that because we ordered a meat option (cooked crab), we’d be okay with this as a free roll and the vegan option would be out shortly. This was, again, after she assured us she put in the note that they’d treat my request as an allergy. I once again told her that I could not have raw meat, she apologized and took the plate back. She returned a couple minutes later with the vegan option, but I can’t be sure the other rolls weren’t contaminated with the raw salmon that was on the previous roll. She avoided us most of the evening, and even though she compensated us by taking the roll off our bill, it was a huge safety violation. I felt sick for the rest of the night, so I do not feel this was handled properly in the slightest. I will not be returning to this location, or any location in the Kansas City area.

    One of the best sushi restaurants in all of KC! Unique and tasty rolls with lots of vegan options. Nice decor and service. Blue kani appetizer and Hawaiian roll are our favorites, but everything is excellent! Just wish the bathrooms had hooks on the doors, and that prices would be lower so we could frequent this place more! Overall definitely 5 stars!

    Thomas was great, the food was great. The prices have gone up exponentially since we started coming here 5 years ago. I get inflation and that it’s gone up everywhere. But the sashimi portions look as though they are smaller, I mean really thin and tiny. But I love the food and everyone is always so nice. I do miss many of those that went to the new restaurant or just went on to other endeavors. Thomas will be our new request when we come in. He was great!

    The food is good and we had great service. However, the trend continues that at this location, your sushi will take a very long time! Random rolls and appetizers will come out near instantly, but last night, we waited an hour to get our whole order. This has been the case the previous times I have been here with food taking more than 30 minutes. This a good back up sushi spot if you're really craving it but other spots are closed.

    Blue Sushi Sake Grill - WestwoodResponded on November 8, 2023

    Hi Kevin, we're sorry to hear your disappointment. We have two kitchens where certain items come out from. All salads, a lot of appetizers, & anything fried, come from one kitchen and 98% of sushi comes from the other. We will speak with your server and coach them on timing these. We never pre-roll anything (like some sushi joints do) and everything of ours is fresh and comes from sustainable methods. We will address your concerns.

    We had especially great service from Drew, who also had great menu recommendations. It is a place I will go back to again.  four of us had 5 rolls, 4 appetizers, and 2 people got alcohol for a total of $160.  I especially enjoyed the spicy rolls.

    We loved our server, Leslie, very personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. Loved our milk sake flight, we have had before. My favorite is #1. All the food was fantastic. On the pricey side for only 5 pieces of yellowtail and in general. Love the beef strips that we cooked on stone. Very fresh and yummy!

    Took my daughter for dinner as she was craving California rolls (and I’m not one to say no to sushi). The food was good and the ambience was energetic, but what made our evening memorable was our server Jacob. From the moment we sat down, Jacob greeted us with a smile and a sense of attention that we mattered as customers. I greatly appreciated that he spoke to and treated my daughter like she was an adult as often kids are ignored in these circumstances. Thanks for a GREAT night Jacob, we are still talking about it!

    Waited over an hour for good but they made it up by comping our appetizer and one sushi roll order. Waitress and manager were friendly and apologetic. Food was great although too many spicy options and I can’t do spicy but they made one roll non spicy for me.

    Our server, Jacob, was polite, friendly and so attentive. Hope we have him again. My family loves this sushi - (I’m not a fish fan 🙄) - but they have the very best salad I have ever eaten. Everyone should order their Chicken crunch salad at least once - and then again and again. I am the first in the car when someone says let’s go to Blue Sushi! The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean and inviting and I wish it were closer to our home. More than a 5* rating!

    I went with 4 others for my birthday Our server was fantastic. The sushi was also fantastic. One of my family with us members has IBS. They were able to accommodate this by providing an option of chicken fried rice, even though it was not on the menu at the restaurant. (It was in their online menu). The chicken fried rice was the was same quality as the sushi. I was very pleased, we will be back.

    We were visiting the area and several people said Blue Sushi was the best. We arrived a bit early and even though the restaurant had many open tables, the host said that she wouldn't be able to seat us until our reservation time. We were seated at a table that was directly in the sunlight, so we had to pull the shade. There was a table with a booth like seat on one side and chairs on the other, and if I ever went back I would request to sit there. It was open, and I maybe could have sat there if I had asked, but I didn't. We had miso soup, which had great flavor, and three rolls. Our favorite was the hotel cali. The restaurant, especially the bathrooms, need a deep clean and some touch ups. I expected it to feel a bit more crisp then it did. Overall, it was a fine experience.

    Food was alright, the chocolate egg roll dessert was not good, it tasted old almost as though the ice cream had been frozen too long and the raspberry syrup tasted old as well. Service was not good, took about 5 minutes to be greeted, our appetizer showed up before our cocktails, and then when we were ordering dessert and wanted to get our bill, our serve didn’t even show us the bill just said what the total was and shoved the handheld into my husbands face. Wont be back to this location.
