My only regret: I’ve had carry out twice and both times food items were missing. The first time: sashimi. The second time: soup and salad. I’m going to give it another go.“

“You can be as safe or adventurous as you want here. We had never tried sushi with beef, but it was a unanimous favorite (ditto crawfish). Other tuna/salmon plates pleased our group. Even my Moscow Mule's ginger was balanced, thank you John Taffer. Skip the gas station sushi and eat here instead. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The service, sushi and sashimi were all five stars and first class!“

“Great food and friendly service.“

“My husband and I tried it for the first time today for lunch. We loved it! The shrimp hibachi was fantastic. They had gobs of sushi roll selections, but we didn't have any today. Highly recommend! It would probably be a great place for date night. It is small and intimate. We will go back.“

“One of my favorite places.“

“A few weeks ago I dined in at Sake Blue with my two children, I had paid with cash and I guess in doing so I had dropped about a thousand dollars out of my purse. Being distracted by my children I didn't even notice this at all..I called the restaurant the next day frantic asking if anyone had seen a wad of cash just laying in the booth or on the floor...and amazingly the GM called me back to tell me that they have seen the money and that they already locked it away in the safe incase someone came back to claim it. I couldn't believe the honesty and integrity of the staff in this restaurant..I have been dining at Sake Blue for about 10 years now and have always been impressed by their food and service but just recently I moved across the street so I have been going more frequently. As a server myself I work really really hard for my money..and on Sundays I like to treat my children by going out to eat..and WOW I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you...they did not have to return the cash, heck I don't know if any other restaurant would have done the same..This place doesn't only have amazing food, an amazing staff and welcoming and relaxing atmosphere but they genuinely care about the well being of their customers..I mean the GM called me family..I will never stop coming to Sake Blue they have a customer for life and also it's THE best sushi restaurant in town. 😊❤❤❤“

“Edit 8/2026- not sure if they’ve changed their chefs or what but the mango crunch I’ve loved so much over the years just isn’t as good as it used to be. Golden Cadillac was pretty good.

One of the best sushi spots in Louisville! Their mango crunch roll has been my favorite for years“

“Not only was this some of the best sushi my nephew and I had ever had, but the staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was amazing. Portions were huge and pricing was great. We will definitely eat here again when we head back to Louisville. 10/10“

“Always a favorite place to eat at . Food is always delicious and service is great .“

“the food is amazing and very entertaining for the hibachi“

“Love this place! Their food is always consistent and taste amazing. It’s my go to spot if I want to eat out or treat myself.“

“Bento Asian Kitchen & Sushi is one of my favorite places to go for food!
Was served by Taylor today and she was fantasticly nice and helpful, my friend didn't know how to work the water tab at the soda fountain so she came over and helped him when she didn't have to and always asked if there was anything else we needed and kept all the tables clean.

As for the food I ordered a chicken teriyaki box with white rice, broccoli and pork rolls. The sauces and flavors the over all food were fantastic and I absolutely recommend their pork rolls and sweet chili sauce!

For drinks I got a mango boba milk tea and it was perfect levels of sweetness and the boba was very soft as I enjoy the most. Would recommend. The bill was around 25$ for everything and absolutely enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant would go again for sure!“

“What a pleasant surprise! The staff were so friendly, and the wait from ordering to being served was practically nonexistent. The food was absolutely delicious—I can’t stop thinking about it. I really want to go back and try some of the other dishes!“

“One of few places to eat that deserves every bit of credit and praise possible. Always fantastic service. Surprisingly down to earth and friendly owner. Lastly the most important thing with sushi places that nowhere else seems to make good on. The fish. Bonsai has amazing fish. Yellowtail, salmon, tuna and scallop (my absolute favorite thing ever) all very fresh and easy to eat. Thank you guys for about 7 years of perfection!“

“Horrible food hard and they told me to bring it back in 12 hours once i got off wtf“

“I have ordered probably 50 times by this time. They would know. They are amazing. They are fast, they have messed up maybe 2 times, only forgetting drinks those times, but they offered to bring the drinks to me. They called to say they would be very late because they were backed up and they were very nice about it. They always treat me nice. They put in coffee news when I ask. I always get delivery. I will always order from here. Food is amazing, it's not for everyone, but if you don't like it, go somewhere else. This is my favorite delivery chinese restaurant.“

“Great staff. Very convenient, consistent. Checked on us often. Chef was amazing, food was wonderful.

Kid-friendliness: Chef examined well to our 8 yr okd how it works making and serving food, and how to clean up afterwards. Gave a great tip“

“This place is delicious! The people in the kitchen work their butts off to prepare very delicious food. The people up front are very good at their jobs aswell, they're nice and will treat you very kindley aswell. I think (like any other restaurant) people may have their specific opinions about this place but it really just depends on you specifically and what you like! If you want good food then I think this would be a good option to choose from☺️! And the drivers there are dope aswell!!“

“Delicious food is Awesome“
