Standard American sushi fare. This restaurant is a local favorite. I have to say, the location really helps this place out. The food is ok, but the staff is pretty friendly and attentive. Overall, a decent place to get a quick sushi fix before heading out for the night.

Oh man Sushi blues really is not that great..... Not sure how folks can give this place more than 2 stars... Only thing it might have going for it is nice servers and the outdoor patio...Other than that????? lets just say grocery store sushi is probably better....The wait here is incredibly long for what it is... sure might be due to limited patio seating but damn ..... it was long Yeah this place might offer BOGO sushi but there is a reason for it.... ordered 2 rolls (wolfpack and yellow brick road) and sashimi appetizer and lets just say left more than half of each roll on touched.... and the sashimi appetizer was tough to take down... not sure if it was an off day or what but the sushi/sashimi here is very low grade/quality and not good at all. The Server and the outside patio were nice, but I think thats all it had going for it. Food is just awful, the other sushi place 1 block up is 100X better... its like night and day between the two spots. So if you want to go for volume and price vs quality than I guess Sushi Blues is where you go... but hell... the AYCE Rockin Sushi Carousel would be this place...

I've been coming here for years. I have recently noticed that the crowd is slowly getting lighter. The menu has changed. The restaurant is always clean. The staff is always great. This time, along with when I went about 1-2 months ago, they didn't have the white sauce (yum yum sauce/spicy Mayo, whatever you want to call it.) VERY DISAPPOINTING. I would not have ordered Sushi had I known BEFORE placing my order. The sushi wasn't good to us. Didn't seem the same, not as fresh. We normally love this place. Yesterday, not so much. I really wanted to send it back. The drinks were refreshing and the music was nice.

This is our favorite sushi restaurant! We love the edamame, and always get a large order. We rarely eat inside, we enjoy outside to see the happenings on Glenwood ave. They sushi is always bogo and they have a large variety. The service is always great and we never have complaints. I suggest you make a reservation on the weekends, because it stays busy.

Good sushi, nothing amazing though. The service was great, I don't love the checkout process. Overall, I would go back!

I'm not sure when their POS system was changed but why can't sushi & everything else be on the same ticket. It really seems as if you & your staff are getting over on your customers. Two tickets means twice the tip. I am aware that there's an edit option so you don't have to tip twice but why put people in that predicament to begin with. I love coming but here lately servers can't divide a ticket evenly & to tell a customer oh it's only $4 dollars or so I have that in my pocket if you really need it is utterly ridiculous! What if that money was extremely needed. Who knows others money habits & that shouldn't matter, if the money is owed give it to the customer. Make sure the ticket is correct. I would like to come back & dine in very soon. Hopefully you can address & correct these issues very soon.

We came here for a graduation celebration and it was delicious!! This was my second time coming here and I haven't had sushi I didn't enjoy; I got the Bradley Chubb and the Dave Doeren this time. We also got the kani su, spicy sushi and vegetable tempura for appetizers. Everything came out quickly and tasted good. I also appreciated the music and lights everywhere, it created a really chill atmosphere despite being steps away from Raleigh night kid.

This place has BOGO sushi for dine in only. You can never go wrong with Bogo sushi. They have a lot of different rolls which kinda makes it hard to make a decision. I like this place if you want a casual place for sushi that won't break the bank.

If I'm going to a sushi restaurant and am spending good money, I want to make sure it's on something quality. I love eating sushi but I can't say I'll be going here for sushi. It was a great atmosphere and am glad it appeals to a majority of people who might not be used to sushi but would not consider it to be flavorful or fresh. The eel sauce felt like it was watered down and insanely sweet for what it should be. The spicy mayo didn't have any spice, it just felt like slightly more red Kewpie mayo with not much flavor. It's got a great location and cool atmosphere but it could be better.

Sushi Blues has deteriorated considerably. It had been our favorite place for sushi in Raleigh. The food quality has just become bad. The ginger was a pale pink color, the wasabi was a strange green color similar to what I would find on a Chicago hot dog. We had a very overcooked Spider Roll that was just inedible. Our server was very good, understanding and helpful. The food was just plain awful. We won't be back. It was just bad.
