Such a hole in the wall, I'm so lucky to have finally tried it. Place is tiny inside and yet my friends (party of 7) decided to take up all the seating inside. Staff was beyond friendly to accommodate us and provided greats service. There's still a cute bar too to fit about 10 or so. BYOB is honestly so fun and clutch to have no corking fee. They provided a complimentary cucumber salad to start which was delicious!For rolls, highly recommend the dragon roll - I got mine with salmon. So fresh with a perfect crunch. My friend got the bluvilla with eel (which I usually don't like) and I absolutely loved it! Only downside I found through the whole night is that the rolls weren't served with ginger :(Fair prices, unique small business, to die for sushi. Will definitely be back!

OKAY SO. Don't let the 3 star stop you. This place has some pros. Firstly, I'd like to state I LOVE sushi. Like got it tatted on my arm type level. I really love nigiri, maki, and sashimi. So I try to sort through alot of places in Tampa hoping to find the 'one'. Below is simply my opinion, although this place has a lot of high reviews. To each their own. PROS:- music was great. EDM. Vibes.- bring your own booze. Love that!- complementary snack - kind service- fish was fresh and tastyCONS:- menu does no list prices. A huge huge deduction for me. I hate that about this place. Makes you feel like you can't fully enjoy it, or they can charge you whatever.. lol.- pricing. It's like $9 for a hand roll here. $12 for a maki roll. 9$ for kani salad, which was imitation crab, avocado, on a literal bowl of lettuce.. lol.Otherwise, location is great if you live in SOG. Very small place, but if you're like many in south Tampa with no worries just swiping without knowing your cost on items, go for it! Better off with Sakana

I ordered takeout and the food just wasn't that good. I can't think of much to say. As you can see in the picture some of the food is Burt and the rolls are just so small for the price. Service was okay I just picked it up so not much to say on that. The inside is pretty small maybe the food would have been better if I ate it there.

Enjoyed BluWave Sushi and super fresh too! Apparently, the chef came from Noble Rice too! It is pretty small inside and only has two real tables and the rest of the seating is at the bar. Has a cool ambiance. I don't remember what sushi I ordered because I told the chef to surprise us with whatever rolls and it did no disappoint. We also ordered the truffle salmon which was their monthly specials and WOW it was so good. I'd come back again and the price is right! They should have happy hour in the future loll.

Keira, Kong, Keira, And Adam are 10s across the board. Their hospitality is like no other. We sat at the bar and had a great experience. I was able to customize my roll and chef cooked. It was a Tampa Roll with a hint of chili flakes, lemon, and cooked eel on top. It was delicious. They were such a blast to talk to. Plenty of parking out front and a nice spot to visit before a night out in tampa.

Stopped here for some sushi after seeing it on TikTok. The service and ambiance are great but theres not much space for normal seating other than the bar. I got the Westshore roll and the flavors were ok but I was disappointed at the temperature since it comes with fried shrimp, it didn't seem freshly cooked, since the whole roll was cold I also think there needed to be a little more sweet chili sauce. My bf got the bang bang chicken roll and Mexican roll, and they were good. Overall a decent sushi spot for a quick bite.

I had an amazing experience at BluWave! The fish was incredibly fresh and each bite was packed with flavor. Our favorite rolls were the Westshore and the Captain Crunch!! It might sound odd, but it was some of the best edamame I've ever had - I ended up ordering more. The gyoza was delicious, the crab rangoon was so good, but what really stood out was the staff--they were super friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed including the occasional dance party - THANKS RACHEL! Whether you're a sushi lover or just trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit!
