About the restaurant

Blue Sushi Sake Grill unites creative ingredients with energetic vibes, premium cold sake with happy moments to give you a fresh and fun new way to experience sushi. Our sushi and grill menus allow you to explore your sushi favorites in new and unexpected ways. We like to say that sushi is for sharing, and our menu encourages it. Order a spread of all your maki, nigiri and sashimi favs from the sushi bar, and throw in a few orders of starters from the grill. We'll stagger your plates so you can savor it all bite-by-bite, and maximize the sushi experience you've been craving all week. If you're not sure where to start, tour the menu during Happy Hour, where all our guest favorites — from our sushi, grill and drink menus — are available at an amazing value. We offer Happy Hour every day of the week at Blue Sushi Sake Grill!

Came for the happy hour and sat outside. I experienced fantastic service and all the food and drinks were so beautifully presented! I highly recommend. The only thing is that the prices on their online menu do not align with their physical menus, so that needs to be adjusted.

About the restaurant

Est. 2014 - family owned & operated

Restaurant Week Menu available all of February!

Try our unique omakase where our chefs will work around your restrictions to course out a mix of traditional, and non-traditional, fare. With signature dishes like our fish & chips and bluefin truffle sashimi, dressed nigiri pieces, and our off menu "special rolls" (including vegetarian options). Otherwise, order from the menu with many small-bite options, nigiri/sashimi, maki, entrees, or order the special rolls à la carte. We pride ourselves on our fish quality.

We have a full bar, which features a full selection of Japanese whisky, sake, cocktails, and more.

(We have no affiliation with any other Tanoshii and Sushi Mike, and are completely separate)

Another delightful Omakase experience at Tanoshii made even more special by the awesome Michelle and David. We got to try a couple of delicious new (to us) creations by the chefs in addition to our favorite escolar with the shitake and truffle oil. Oh, the scallops were especially fresh and perfectly cooked with the crisp coating --- we joked that we could have ended with just more of that! Looking forward to our next dinner here - the chefs were actually recommending another Omakase menu but we went with our usual selection, so maybe next time we will try the nigiri Omakase. Dining early is key to a quiet and more relaxed atmosphere.
