    Love their BOGO sushi rolls! It’s the only place we will eat sushi from. We have been going to Sushi Blues for the last 9 years and will continue to do so.

    Our favorite sushi place in the area, the specialty rolls are really good. I had the Marylin Monroe and the Fire and Ice rolls. They need another location away from the downtown area, Brier Creek or Durham would be great.

    Sushi was dry. Tempura shrimp inside sushi was tough and dry like it was cooked yesterday. Rice was dry and sticky, tough too. Other food was greasy. Even the pickled ginger had no vinegar or sweet flavor. Tasted horrible. Not a good value whatsoever for $60.00 :(

    What happened Sushi Blues? I used to love this place :( my sushi was bad, the salmon left pink puddles in my plate signaling that it had gone bad and it tasted fishy. The rice was old and hard and overall both my sushi’s tasted disgusting, I’m still having a hard time digesting. Sushi is definitely not something you want to skimp out on when it comes to quality—your clients can get sick! The salad dressing didn’t taste like anything at all. It was so disappointing… will not be returning :( sad thing too was that this was my birthday dinner, and I picked this place because of fond memories. Looks like you’re not surviving this inflation crisis, restaurant was empty too… I hope you get back on your feet before it shuts down.

    Sushi Blues was excellent! Top-notch service and incredible food. The BOGO sushi rolls are a fantastic deal. Definitely try the "Sweet Home Alabama" roll.
