"The food at this restaurant is absolutely amazing. I have dined here twice for lunch and I love the variety of options on the menu, including delicious vegetarian dishes and non-alcoholic cocktails. The quality of the ingredients is top-notch and evident in every bite. The chefs do a fantastic job with every dish. Even if you're not a fan of sushi, there are still plenty of great options to choose from. I have tried the edamame, crab rangoons, and Hawaiian roll, and cannot wait to try more. The location is convenient and the staff are both relaxed and efficient. Overall, it's a fantastic dining experience and I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area."

Went there on a Monday, and the place was fairly full. The staff was very friendly, and the food was good.

The atmosphere is fantastic! The sushi is delicious! If you're looking for a great non-alcoholic drink, be sure to try the coco hydration!

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. View menu

I came here with a friend to eat and drink. The food was really good, we loved the atmosphere, and our service was pretty good. It did take a while to get the bill, but that was the only downside. I would definitely come back again.

I am never disappointed when dining at this place. It serves the best consistently great sushi in Des Moines, and they even offer mango crab rangoons! The drinks are delicious, and they have a happy hour menu for both drinks and food that is definitely worth checking out. Make sure to save room for their rotating dessert options when you have room in your appetite. View menu

The service is always spotty at Blue Sushi when we made our reservation as well, they had asked if it was for a special occasion and we had said it was for a birthday and then nothing special happened, which if fine just not sure why they asked. The food tasted a little fishy but understand that is not their fault I just never feel wow'd when I leave there, I prefer Akebono or Sakari to Blue.

My family traveled to Des Moines to celebrate my mother and brother-in-law's birthdays. My parents had previously dined at Blue Sushi and had a great experience. We were promptly seated near the bar area, all seven of us including my one-year-old niece. Our waitress was efficient in taking our orders. We enjoyed two appetizers - Brussel Sprouts and Lettuce Wraps. One of my sisters opted for the Beef Hot Rock instead of sushi. Her daughter had some noodles and cucumbers from the water. The rest of us ordered a variety of sushi rolls such as Tidal Wave, Cowgirl, Green Eggs, and Hama, all of which were delicious!

"The server was fantastic and she did a great job making us comfortable and attending to us. The ambiance is great and very clean. As far as food goes, it was a little disappointing, decent, but not plate-lick worthy for the price. Guess you arepaying for the ambiance, not the food because I have had better Italian food at a dive bar. Read some of the reviews about burntpita bread and it was the same that came with our cheese dip. While the cheese dip was great tasting there was a bitter taste,it was the same for the Chicken And Prosciutto that I ordered. Took me a while to figure out Store-bought minced garlic. Onesuggestion to the chef would be to use Fresh Garlic/Garlic powder or if you have to use minced garlic, maybe cook it a littlelonger to mitigate the bitter taste. The chicken was FANTASTIC, juicy, and crispy. But overall the pasta dish was justwatered-down Alfredo sauce. I bet it will taste good as leftover after the sauce has thickened overnight in the fridge. Fordessert, we got crème brûlée. As you see in the picture, the sugar was over-caramelized- it should have cracked with the backof the spoon however, it only folded. The burnt sugar made it very bitter and had to scoop off the top layer to enjoy thecustard inside. It was a complimentary anniversary dessert but would have been nice if they treated it as though we paid forit. We will try again another time hopefully we can raise the star points since everyone else seemed to enjoy this place butme. Good luck and apologize for the thorough yet bitter review."
