Some of the best vegan sushi ever, they are super creative with their fish substitutes and the prices are amazing as well. Came with my mom and plan to come back!

Everything was phenomenal. One of the reasons we keep coming back is because of the consistency on the food and service. But today Michael was our server and wow! He blew us away with his service and genuine dedication to connect with us. We can’t wait to come back on Sunday and ask for him!

We tried this sushi chain for the first time, and while the atmosphere was beautiful and the staff was very friendly, unfortunately, the food was a big disappointment for us.
If you’re an experienced sushi eater, I honestly would not recommend this place. First, they don’t offer a sashimi or nigiri platter, so you have to build your own order. We ordered 12 pieces of sake (salmon), and it came out to $56. On top of that, the pieces were all different sizes and lengths. For the same type of fish in the same order, I would expect the pieces to be more consistent and properly portioned.
The rolls were also not what we expected. If you’re new to sushi and this is your first experience, you may actually enjoy this place because the rolls are mostly rice, cucumber, herbs, and other ingredients, with very little fish. But if you’re looking for good-quality sushi where the fish is the star, this probably isn’t the place for you.
We spent $260+ for two adults and two kids (ages 4 and 8), and unfortunately, we all left feeling unsatisfied and even came home hungry.
Beautiful restaurant, friendly service, but for us, the sushi just wasn’t worth the price.

What a great place to grab some sushi and have a date night! Its in the central ASU tempe area and popping with college students all around as well. Honestly kind of a cool place to people watch lol. The ambiance in here is great, they have these sweet red lanterns on the ceiling and a really awesome godzilla on the wall. Wifey and I loved the whole vibe. The waitress was very nice and she made sure to accommodate our need for not having certain things due to an allergy. They had some unique items on the menu as well. The tuna tower and truffle salmon were really good. The salmon though on that was cut suuuper thin and honestly even with the other items because of the slight difference in fish flavor I wonder where they source their fish from and if the quality of the fish is being cut off a bit. If so I hope they stop doing it because the prices here are a bit high and with the amount of buisness they should be able to not cut corners with that. Almost gave 4 out of 5 stars because of that but Im not 100% certain so maybe ill try it again one day. The rolls they brought out were great though and also had some fantastic vegetarian options as well. Parking is super impossible to find in the surrounding area and spots in front are only for 15 mins. If you want to pay for parking its 15.00 and still crowded. If your ok with walking a bit you can park down the block in guest parking at an apartment complex or local strip mall.
Reccomendations for them would be not filling the entire glass up with ice for sodas. Also not too thin cuts on salmon. Plus maybe adding some more salmon rolls for variety. They could also maybe bring out wasbai and ginger with sushi appetizers as well vs main rolls so one can options to clear palette etc. Over all great experience Id say though. Was about 150.00 for 2 people fyi

Evidently Blue Sushi is based in/originated in Omaha. It is a few blocks from where I live, and we eat there 1 or 2 times each month. Five stars across the board every visit.
At this location in Tempe at lunch on a Sunday i ordered The Beach maki & spicy tekka maki - my usuals. Honestly - disappointing. The fish, the rolls had little flavor. The Spicy Gringo - no one at the table would rate it as more the "average", at best. The rest of our meal was fine, but I/we were prime there for "sushi" in one form or another.
The Truffle Salmon all around earned "sure, good enough to order again sometime".
The place was definitely not busy, not packed at all. The location near my home in Omaha - you need a reservation for lunch (or dinner) on the weekends. It's that good & it's that busy.
The calamari was as good as my home location. The shishito peppers - different chefs sometimes mean a difference in preparation. I believe it was a fine preparation just different than what I am otherwise accustomed to.
The chocolate spring roll that we shared for dessert was interesting in a good way. Plenty four 4 ppl, and easily for 6 in my opinion. If you are there and want some truly sweet for dessert, I would recommend the chocolate spring roll.
