“Fantastic food! Kids loved it too!“

“Excellent dining experience!!

Went out with my girlfriend and her parents for my girlfriends birthday

I have to eat gluten free and this restaurant was so accommodating, that I was actually able to experience hibachi at the hibachi tables. Typically when I go out to get hibachi they always make the food in the back and I miss out. But not these guys, they made my meal first to avoid cross contamination, and they gave me a double portion of fried rice in place of the noodles(they used gluten free soy sauce for the rice). I had steak and shrimp and it was phenomenal!

Definitely recommend for anyone who has a gluten sensitivity and wants to enjoy hibachi“

“If you’re craving sushi or hibachi but dread the long wait times at a popular hibachi spot, this spot is a game changer. It’s essentially a “Benihana Express” – same quality food, same fresh flavors, but without the hour-long wait for table.

The hibachi/teriyaki dishes are cooked to perfection – tender steak, juicy chicken, and shrimp with just the right amount of char. The fried rice is buttery and flavorful, and the vegetables still have that perfect crisp bite. Sushi rolls are fresh, well-presented, and packed with flavor, rivaling any big-name chain. Someone mentioned, “bite size sushi” it’s true!

The best part? The service is quick and friendly, and take-out is a breeze. You can enjoy the same quality hibachi and sushi you’d expect from a large chain, but in a more relaxed, mom and pop restaurant vibe! Have it to-go and enjoy at home! Totally recommend!“

“GREAT SUSHI SELECTION AND GREAT STAFF! Food is fresh and the restaurant is clean! This is our go too for Japanese food. We highly recommend Uminoya“

“First time going and I’m hooked. The bowl that I ordered was amazing. Food was fresh and had great flavor. Definitely going to be my go to spot.“

“The only hibachi I go to. Better than deliciousevery time, no matter what my family or myself order. They are 100 percent consistent on every dish they make.

Vegetarian options: Tbh I'm not the most knowledge with vegetarianism. But the noodles and veggies are so so good“

“I can't say enough good things about Blue Sushi! 🌟 The Specials are exceptional and are indeed a special treat. Each dish is a delightful surprise, bursting with flavor. The Chef is great.

But it’s not just the Specials that shine; the simpler items on the menu are equally stellar. The Baby Bok Choi Sautéed in Garlic is a must-try —perfectly packed with flavor! The Live Scallops are indeed life-affirming. I found that the appetizers set the tone and can also be ordered in combination as a medley on their own to form a fantastic meal.

The music they play is incredible too! My partner and I enjoyed using our Shazam App to identify song titles and new music artists. It was so fun, and now we have some new music to enjoy at home and work.

Every visit has been a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend Blue Sushi to anyone looking for an incredible meal. Can’t wait for my next visit!“

“Ordered for the first time tonight. I figured it’s the busiest night of the year so I won’t be disappointed if it’s just “eh”. Wow was I surprised - THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST CHINESE TAKEOUT I HAVE HAD SINCE MOVING TO BRICK in 2003! Thank you for a delicious New Year’s Eve meal! You have a new customer!“

“Can I just give a shout out to this neighborhood gem who always delivers high quality, delicious sushi. They are creative, they are consistent, and are one of our top ‘go to’ places when we order in. Thank you Koi for being such a wonderful local business! 🍣🍱❤️“

Would definitely come back.“

“My wife and I patronize our favorite restaurants, usually for a specific dish that they serve that is better than similar dishes offered elsewhere. Every Thursday we go to Szechuan Tokyo specifically for the Negimaki, the Japanese dish consisting of broiled strips of beef marinated in teriyaki sauce and rolled with scallions. While it is not equal to the Negimaki to which I was accustomed when living in New York, it is the best to be found anywhere around this neck of the woods. Since it is BYOB, we usually stop at the Foodtown, located in the same strip mall, to pick up a bottle of Sake Wine to complement our meal. The service here is excellent - very friendly, fast, courteous, and efficient. The salad and miso soup, which are included with the meal, are always fresh and very tasty. My wife and I each get a California Roll, which is also quite good, as an appetizer before eating the Negamaki entrée. Every course arrives at the table at just the right time - never rushed. Best of all, the prices are extremely reasonable for such an enjoyable dining experience.“

“The food and drinks are so delicious! Danielle and John are awesome! Perfect date night for me and my honey!“

“Osaka is a classic! I recommend really any of the hand rolls, but my favorites are the spider roll, sweet potato roll, any of the vegetarian rolls, the eel roll is good too! The edamame is a must on the side, and their lo mein + fried rice is really good too. I have only gotten take-out but have always been really satisfied with the freshness + flavor + everything I have eaten here!“

“15+ years of coming here. The BEST sushi around. Tiffany and Sam are the best, most professional, and nicest people you’ve ever met. Take out or dining in, they can’t miss. Highly recommend - 10 stars - Order the “Frank Salad” off the secret menu 😉“

“We came in Wednesday night for my mom's birthday. From start to finish was a great dinner. Chef Mike and our waitress Abby made everything wonderful. They were so polite, always friendly and so attentive. They made my mom feel so special. The food was absolutely delicious and of course Chef Mike did an amazing job while cooking. We will absolutely be returning.“
