My go to spot if I’m ever coming back to DSM downtown area. They’re dishes never changes. The family who owns this place are very caring and genuine and it shows they care about their customers through their compassion and the food speaks volumes. Tried their sushi rolls and it’s just as good as any other places.

Pretty average place overall. The sushi was the best part. The Philly and the BBQ Beef rolls were very tasty. I ordered the orange chicken and it was the weirdest looking orange chicken I’ve ever seen. The taste was just average. The chicken was cut into strips

This place was really good. The food was amazing. The sushi was fresh and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was peaceful so it was easy to talk with our good. The only downfalls were that there was an unpleasant smell upon walking through the front door and the waitress was a little sassy when serving us. Both issues were mjnkyr as I failed to notice them as I began eating.

Stopped by Blu Thai today for a bite to eat. Alex was our super awesome server. Ordered the spicy steamed Wontons. Some of the best wontons I have ever had!

Food was good and so was the ambience. However I am disappointed with the service as it was way too long considering the fact the place wasn’t crowded when we dined.

Friendly reminder to STOP RUINING LOCAL RESTAURANTS. If you didn’t get your meal within the time that you thought was appropriate, that is your problem. This place is worth the wait because the food is delicious. If you don’t want to wait for delicious food made to order, then go to McDonalds or some other trash place that will have your food ready in 1 minute. I’m not saying that this place takes long to give you food, but I’m sick of seeing good local places getting trashed for the smallest reasons. I don’t want local restaurants to be fast, I want them to serve BOMB a@# food.

Has a cute atmosphere and friendly staff, attentive but not overbearing. The beer was cold, the spring roll appetizer was so good. We went for happy hour but ended up ordering sushi off the regular menu. The cyclone roll and west coast roll were very good. Not pictured is the spicy salmon roll which was heavy handed on the rice, but overall would recommend
