About the restaurant

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!

Loved dining here. The sushi roll and Nigiri was great. The Salmon roe Sashimi was excellent. The Gekkeikan Hot Sake complimented it well. Great attentive service.

Went here for drinks/dinner on the patio the other night. My friend and I sat at the outdoor bar. Bartenders are very attentive and drinks and food was great. They had live music with an acoustic artist playing summer/surf music who was very good! The patio was busy but not overcrowded and it was a great vibe. I definitely recommend enjoying the patio with friends and family!

Food took forever, much longer than others around us. Server was never around nor checked in on us. I feel like staff just stand in groups out of sight chatting rather than giving good service. Maybe the guaranteed 20% gratuity does this. I don’t know. My food was very good.

About the restaurant

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.
