    Blue Sushi Sake Grill has the best sushi maki rolls; especially vegetarian and vegan options. Every single option we ordered was beautifully presented and delicious. We also ordered Brussels sprouts and wontons as starters and they were phenomenal. My only negative was the noise level but it seems almost impossible nowadays to find quiet restaurants where one can hear each other speak. The server was excellent.

    We sat in one of the clear bubbles outside. It was lots of fun and so unique. There was a space heater and throw blankets. The ambiance was amazing. Everyone really enjoyed dining in the bubble. We each ordered a pizza, not knowing these were sharable. There were lots of leftovers, which nobody complained about. We also had the limoncello cake and tiramisu. Both were delicious. Will definitely go back and try to sit in the bubble. Love the ambiance!!

    AMAZING!! I very rarely complete a review. In this case, I JUMPED at the opportunity! The pasta and lamb were outstanding, and the baked calamari appetizer was to die for, especially loved the red sauce! We had a chance to meet the owner, Christopher, who couldn’t have been more pleased that we REALLY enjoyed our experience. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUR NEW GO TO RESTAURANT IN THE LOGAN SQUARE AREA, IF NOT FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN CHICAGO!
