Blue Sushi Sake Grill - Des Moines

The food was amazing. 4 stars for the difficulty reading the menu, we were in a dark area. If there was a way to have a little more light it would have been 5 stars for atmosphere.

Had dinner with some coworkers. Great food and great service.

The sushi was PHENOMENAL! The staff were welcoming and the ambience was relaxing. The variety and quality of the sushi didn't get overlooked. There were many gluten free options.

I really wanted to like this place because I want to support any place that has vegan or vegetarian options, but I didn't enjoy it. My non-vegetarian friend didn't like it so much either. They fell a bit behind the night we came so our food took a little over 40 minutes to come and I think that's part of what made it a bit disappointing. We only tried a couple of things so I can't judge their entire menu. But my daquiri was a bit too sour to enjoy and we both stopped eating our sushi after one piece. The staff was so incredibly friendly though!! I want to make sure people know how kind and welcoming they were. We also chatted with a manager and he was also very friendly.

Great location and atmosphere! We had a reservation 90 minutes before a Civic center show, seemed to be a slow night, however we didn't get our food until 15 minutes (over an hour to prepare! prior to the show starting. We had to eat quickly and RUN! The manager was apologetic, but offered no remediation. The sushi was not up to the standards I am used to at Mandarin, Wasabi, Achebono, and Seafood Market (thin slices, smaller rolls, etc . Drinks were very good (highly recommend if you are just grabbing a drink! . Our waiter was very good, despite the kitchen backup (3 stars are to the kitchen service .
