Blue Sushi Sake Grill

Excellent experience at Blue Sushi. This was our first time at the restaurant, and the experience was great from start to finish. The staff was very attentive and friendly, and they made excellent menu suggestions, which we really appreciated as first-time guests. The quality of the food is outstanding—you can truly taste the freshness, especially in the tuna, shrimp, and crab. You can definitely notice the difference compared to other sushi places. They also offer happy hour from Monday to Friday until 6:30 p.m., with several menu items on promotion, some priced $3–$8 less than the regular menu, which is a great bonus. The restaurant is beautiful, spacious, and very clean, with easy parking available. Overall, a complete and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely

Very nice atmosphere, well lit and spacious with great outdoor seating options as well. The happy hour when you choose is a great option with excellent prices on popular dishes! I've never seen a place offer such a wife take off time for happy hour! Loved the music soup and sushi rolls we selected! Our server, Symphony, was very attentive and helpful! We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a lovely dessert big enough to share! Great experience!

Service was excellent. Our reservation was seated immediately. Started with a few martinis and they were very nice. Ceviche was I believe best in Des Moines. They will bring extra chips if you ask. Tuna Tataki, San Marcos, and Rainbow Roll all were fresh and tasted excellent. My wife lived in Japan for a year and we know good sushi. I highly recommend this place. Very high quality. Reasonable prices. Music was a little annoying. They have a Happy Hour menu that is worth checking out. We will return for more!

Really solid place for sushi. Their roll game is strong and they have a good assortment of nigiri but missed out on things like offering chirashi and any sort of chef's selection of nigiri. Along those lines, their main sushi chef was not in the house so I decided to stick with what looked good from their selection of rolls. First up was a salmon hand roll. I've eaten a lot of salmon hand rolls over the years but this was unique. Served alongside was a deconstructed spicy Mayo as a dipping sauce. Really good if somewhat unusual approach. Very fresh salmon. Tidal Wave was up next. Mainly because I sat at the sushi bar and watched the young chef roll one. It looked good and then he added fresh crab which made it a must-have. Final roll of the night was tataki maki. I generally have a mixe
