    BOGO Sushi rolls. Amazing, right? I recommend the Steven Tyler roll. Crab, cream cheese, cucumber and topped with tempura shrimp & spicy mayo. HEAVEN.

    I was super impressed with this sushi spot. BOGO Sushi Rolls. I also love the "Blues" theme-named sushi rolls. Spice it up with the Ring of Fire & Bob Marley Rolls. Free mini noodle appetizers!

    They are on the top end of Triangle area BOGO rolls. Great atmosphere and a really nice patio area. The rolls take a bit longer to come out than other places but worth the wait. Try the Gottfried.

    I've always loved the sushi here, but I got the Rolling Stones roll today and it was amazing! Not necessarily what you expect from a sushi roll, but so good!

    It was tasty, but the layer of fish was very thin, we also ordered rolling stone and there was barely any crab meat on it and lots and lots of cucumbers on top and around, wouldn't recommend that one

    Everyone here is gorgeous but ask for Katie or Brittany to be your servers - coolest chicks in town!

    On the main drag so they stay very busy. Make reservations! Stick with the sushi or ask wait staff what's good that night. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Only had pot stickers but they were stuffed to bulging with amazing flavor and there were 8 per order; I'm filled as though I had a full meal! Really nice staff!

    Surprisingly, Sushi Blues makes a mean mojito. Great pear mojito, especially.

    Fun atmosphere, but the sushi was not at all like most I've had. Didn't seem as freshly or well-prepared as its competition.

    Steven Tyler sushi is good. Server took awhile to take our orders and serve our orders for an hour.

    Don’t eat here. There was a hair in a roll, and literally none of the ingredients in either roll were fresh. Same for my date’s rolls. Had to pick out the crab and shrimp meat just to tolerate it.

    Be sure to get a Yellow Brick Road and Wolfpack roll! For the vegans and vegetarians, the veggie rolls are delicious as well!

    I have to wonder if the high ratings are because of their always-on BoGo deal. Not bad, but not amazing sushi.

    Be wary of the plating. My plate had a paper doilie on it and it has basically fused with my rice making it inedible.

    The buy one get one free deal has reduced the quality. I'd rather drive to Waraji.
