  Very much enjoyed this place and glad they’re back open. We were welcomed by friendly staff and a warm vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommend the crispy rice; it might have been our favorite but I truly enjoyed everything. The flavor of the Japanese curry bowl was delicious and I thought the cook on the filet with it was great. I enjoyed their signature mojito as well. This place is a great addition to Downtown Rogers!

  Great spot for dinner. Service was prompt and attentive. Sushi seemed very fresh considering we’re in Arkansas. Portion size for the rolls was generous, appetizers were tasty, and the sake was cold. Standouts were the crispy rice with tuna, the shishedo peppers, and the roll with the yellowtail on top!

  Came to BLU Sushi in downtown Rogers with high hopes. Heard great things about it. Being from the Northeast, we were very lucky and blessed to have great sushi, fresh fish quite often. After moving to Northwest Arkansas, it has been more challenging to find even a subpar quality sushi place. Started out by ordering six oysters. The oysters were warm. It came with the mignonette sauce on top, when typically it comes on the side. We ordered additional oysters, hoping that it would be better and fresh. Asked for the sauce on the side, oysters came out again warm. Hopefully we don't get sick. Ordered sashimi, fish quality was a six out of ten. Ordered two rolls, the Blue DTR and the Flaming Blue. The rice was soggy, the cuts were irregular. Some pieces were small some large, fell apart as soon as we picked it up with our chopsticks. Looked like it was rolled and cut by a 5 year old practicing their knife skills with a plastic toy. Two of the worst tasting rolls we have had in NWA. Regret not taking a photo. The sushi chef who made our two rolls were definitely not the female chef named Mandy. We sat right near the kitchen area by the bar and saw the two gentleman making our rolls, totally inept, definitely has no sushi roll making skills. Would highly unrecommend going. Giving it a very low review based on experience today. Servers were plentiful but not efficient. I don't think that they really knew what it meant to have good service. I asked for ice water, the server said we don’t have ice and we have to run out to buy ice. 90 degree summer weather, restaurant with no ice. We finished our oyster order first. She didn't take away the eaten oysters, left it on our plate, on our table. Our table was crowded with used plates, nothing was cleared out as she kept on bringing out our additional dishes. Will not go again. Overpriced, poor, subpar, maybe Main Street mall-type sushi. I think even Sam's Club or Walmart sushi is probably better. Maybe it was because Mandy, the regular chef or the main chef, didn't make our rolls. But at best, it is a six out of ten.

  Updated since I’ve been back for lunch with a friend. Great experience, our server Liza was amazing and very attentive while handling the while floor by herself. Her recommendations of the city hall roll and chicken yakitori were excellent and great for sharing. Looking forward to seeing how dinner service and takeout compares. So far while the reopen is still recent I recommend everyone goes for a slower early lunch/weekday dinner service with no intention of rushing to get a full experience.

  I don't think this was the first night after reopening; But I'm sure this was the Reopening week. I say the above to give them a reason for the Very Bad review I'm about to write. Friday 11 September 2026 I placed a reservation for 18:30 (6:30PM). We arrived about 10min early and though there were several outdoor tables open we were told seating was not available until our reservation time. Actually we were not seated until 18:50. We watched Four (4) tables seated after us be greeted and and have drink orders placed without anyone approaching our table. Twenty (20) minutes of being ignored was enough we got up and left at 19:10.
