  Was sat near the sushi bar and had the coolest experience with the sushi chefs. I believe her name was Askel but she brought out a dish that I would otherwise not have ordered, Yellowtail Serrano, for our group and it was the highlight. Was a really cool service experience and nice touch!

  Favorite date night spot in the area! Happy hour specials can’t be beat, so we are surprised they go so late in the evening. The service is always incredibly helpful and attentive, even when the place is packed. They have a fun dining atmosphere fun for families with kids but also suitable for a night out with adults.

  Kat S. was an excellent server—very friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. She made sure everything was taken care of and provided great service from start to finish. She did a wonderful job and made the experience even better. Thank you, Kat! 😊

  We were genuinely excited to come back to Blue Sushi after a fantastic first visit in December 2025, but this trip left us frustrated and unlikely to return. The food was still good, no complaints there. The service, however, was another story. Our bartender was also acting as our server, and it was clear he was completely in the weeds. We waited a long time for a fork after asking for one and eventually had to flag down another server who took care of it immediately. Drinks went unrefilled, and we found ourselves repeatedly having to chase someone down for basic things. To her credit, the manager noticed us waiting and came over, which we appreciated. When we asked for an update on our food, she explained that raw and cooked sushi come out of separate kitchens. We understood that since this wasn’t our first sushi experience. What we didn’t understand was the big gap between dishes, especially considering how quiet the restaurant was. That part felt brushed off rather than acknowledged. Getting our check was its own ordeal. Our server said it was coming right away, but enough time passed that we genuinely wondered if he had forgotten, just like with the fork. The manager stepped in again and helped us get out the door, which we appreciated. What really stood out was the disconnect between the staff and the dining room. We watched multiple employees chatting with each other while tables sat with dirty dishes and empty glasses, completely unattended. It gave the impression of a restaurant that might be slipping. We loved Blue Sushi on our first visit, which makes this all the more disappointing. With so many great options in Nashville, we probably won’t be back.

  This has been one of my favorite restaurants for years, which is why this experience was disappointing. We made a Valentine’s Day reservation and requested a booth. When we asked about available booths, the manager responded dismissively and laughed while telling me that the booths were for parties of four. However, during our meal, we observed multiple couples of just 2 (younger and older) being seated at booths right next to us while we were REPEATEDLY told they were unavailable unless it was for a party of 4. I work in food service too, so I know that even on Valentines Day, consistency and professionalism should matter. Our server Faith was wonderful, just the handling of the seating situation from her manager left a negative impression. Im sad to say this negatively impacted what was supposed to be a special evening and was hard to recover from the managers condescending behavior when I asked about our request. I will go as far as to say that the inconsistency in how booths were assigned was very noticeable and very concerning. I would appreciate a follow up from management, as I would prefer to continue supporting a restaurant my family and friends have enjoyed for years.
