Sake Blue in Louisville/Jefferson County metro government (balance) - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

1st time trying sushi and it was pretty good!

Had a great experience at Sake Blue. The place has a really broad menu and the hibachi experience was top notch. Good value for what you pay.

I had the bento box, and it was quite good.

Didn't get to stay long because my toddler was scared of the grill fire, but everything was wonderful and food was delicious

Great atmosphere. Interacting with new people when seated at the grill is amusing. Entertainment by the chef is always fun. The food is awesome.

Ok lol . This guy Lilly 🤔😂starts touching my food when I ask one question about the my roll then proceeds to tell me how long he’s been working there yet knows absolutely nothing about if the tuna is wild caught or not I’m sorry but who are you all hiring lmaooo

My wife and I had a really great experience here. It was highly recommended from a friend that lived in the area.

Ordered a steak done med. and got a kids meal. The steak was cut into small pieces and was very well done, making it far over priced. They have no business selling steaks if they don't know how to cook them.

Typical hibachi food with the usual show. Ours was done well but with lots and lots and lots of butter on everything.

I don’t know too much about sushi and sushi prices, but this place a bit expensive. All I got was a simple bowl of chicken fried rice and it was like $15 and it was boring and bland. However everyone else I was with were more adventurous and got all sorts of stuff and they all seemed to really enjoy it. Our sever was very nice and mostly on top of things. If you’re into sushi and Japanese food in general and don’t mind higher prices then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this place.

Delicious, great service and atmosphere

The food was great, and the service was great.

Delicious sushi and great service. The place was a little loud for me.

Loved the atmosphere for my daughter's 17th birthday! She loves sushi and I loved the restaurant and service!

Great date place. Good food and fast service.

it was a unique and fun experience

Love sitting at the grill so entertaining and fresh food

I really enjoyed this place, as it has a great vibe and a great menu. There’s sushi and Tonkatsu and unagi, all traditionally done. And the hibachi grill never disappoints. I tried 5 nigiri, and they were decent, as it’s hard to beat the taste of sushi after living in Japan. The fried rice is fantastic, and anything from the grill is delicious. Even if you’re not sitting in front of the grill you can still order it from your table. I would recommend making a reservation as it can get packed.

Do not order to go from her! Literally gave a bunch of rice and 2 little spoonfuls of chicken for $25. ABSOLUTELY CRAZY

MJ sushi for the win. The grill side experience was pretty cool as well.

It is a pleasant experience. I'm from LA and maybe I got spoiled on sushi out there.

Waited 45 mins for a waiter @4 on a Wed.Manager walked past us several times. Waiter apologized and still messed up our order. Added a large party gratuity for 5 people and refused to give a detailed receipt. Someone in our party left their phone at the table and they denied finding it. After proving that the phone was pinging there it magically showed up drowned in water. This place is a scam stay away.

REALLY YUMMY FOOD I THINK THE BEST PART OF THE HABBACHI GRILL IS LIGHTING THE ONION VOLCANO

I love this place! My favorite hibachi in town

I'm beyond disappointed that you took my favorite food item, from any restaurant in Louisville, off your menu. I understand that it's time/labor intensive BUT I NEED THIS ROLL IN MY LIFE!!!!!!! BRING BACK THE HABA BERRY!!!!!!!! It's the only thing that will bring me back. My face almost melted off when the server said it was gone. 😢

Solid in every way on my first visit. Staff is super friendly and the service is an easy top-ten in town. Great tasting food and about as fresh as it gets.

Food was amazing! Service was good. Was a little surprised no "fun" cooking during the hibatchi, but everything we ordered was cooked perfectly.

The food was ok and wasn't cooked the best for the amount of money that was spent

The Sake Blue roll is amazing!!! They also set the plate on fire! It adds a nice touch!

I would like to say the only good thing about this place was the chef cooking our meal. As soon as he got done cooking for us the waiter handed us boxes so we could box up our own food and leave. He also brought me a togo refill on my drink instead of bringing me a refill to stay. It was before 9pm. He also told me my son (who chose to have hibachi for his birthday dinner) he couldn't have dessert because the kitchen was closed. This was all before 9pm when the restaurant closed. I asked him if it was a customary practice to push out patrons as soon as they got their meal. His response was yes because they were closing. I was very disappointed in the service there and will not be back. Oh yeah, also as we were trying to get a couple of bites in before we left a person came and started cleaning the stove top. Very unprofessional and I don't believe this establishment values their customers. I am also a server at restaurant. I've never not left a tip for a server, I usually tip at least 30%, I did not tip this server because going home was more important than the guest enjoying their experience. What a huge let down. We were sat a little more than an hour before closing time too.

Came in for dinner for our sons birthday. As soon as we got our dinner the server brought out to go boxes. When we asked about dessert he said the kitchen was closed. Still had 5minutes before closing. When we asked he said it was closed by 9 and we needed to leave. Amazing cook, horrible server. Definitely will be going someplace else from now on.

Called to place a to go order was on hold for 5 min then they hung up on me. I called back and a guy took my order. 16 min an will be ready. I get here an she tells me no order was placed. I showed her my phone that I called. She found the person who took order. Said it was ready 10 min later..... It's ready. They need adults who take charge in the to go area. Bad bad service..

We enjoyed the Miso Soup that was very flavorful and a great way to start our lunch. The Gyoza appetizer was crispy on the outside and had a center filled with steamed and flavorful meat. The Ecuador Sushi roll was chock full of fresh tuna and vegetables, and heat from the jalapeño added another level of flavor. It tasted great with the sauce, and it tasted even better with the Wasabi. We all ordered Hibachi entrees. My wife ordered the Filet Mignon, my son ordered Teriyaki Chicken, and I ordered the Grilled Calamari. The chef gave us our vegetables and rice first. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, as was the Fried Rice. The one problem was that there was far too much fried rice on our plates. Overall, the food was outstanding, and thecservicecwas top notch.

My kids looooove it here. Food always taste great and some of the best sushi options around. I try a new one every time I go.

Would not take reservations for a party of 5, so wait was over an hour on a Friday night. WORTH EVERY SECOND!!! Fantastic drinks (thank you Harley!), impeccable service (thank you, Kevin!) and outstanding meal!

Enjoyed a wonderful night of family fun tonight for my step-son's 24th birthday. The entire experience was made better by Chef Uri, who cooked up some great food and laughs for our whole family.

I have to rate this place low because of the harassment to give up our booth. I was with a friend whom I don't see often, we just paid a $75 tab and are sitting and talking while we finish our adult beverage. First a lady walks to our booth stares at us twice and then on the 3rd time ask if we need anything else. Mind you there are probably 10 empty tables around us. Then next a man comes and passively aggressive asked if we need anything else, because people are waiting for a booth. Well guess they will be getting a table today. The food was decent enough but if I'm paying you a $75 bill, you just rented me that booth for at least an hour or three. Now if the place was packed I might have said let's take out conversation somewhere else but it was not packed and it was a rainy day. I'll never go back to this place for this passive aggressive treatment only. Do better!

Last two times we have been here, horrible rude service. There are lots of sushi restaurants in the area now. We will not be back.

Absolutely AWFUL all the way around. If I could give 0 stars, I absolutely would. The waiter, Vladimir, was horrendous. He was incredibly rude from the moment we were seated at the hibachi table. He had an attitude while we ordered and once he got the order, never came back with drinks etc. We went during lunch and ordered 1 lunch meal, and 1 dinner meal. The dinner portion was smaller than all of the lunch portions that were served at the table. So essentially, the value here is complete trash, too. Additionally, once we asked for a different server due to being treated terribly, the server began yelling at my sister from across the table, in front of other guest. Once the cook finally came out to cook (close to an hour after ordering) he was awful! He was incredibly rude, had an awful attitude and at one point when asked my sister if she was a stripper!! This was not only in front of her baby who was with us, but also in front of another family who also had a young child with them. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told "he had to step out somewhere" but the lead chef came over to talk to us instead. Once I explained the situation, he shared with us that it wasn't the first complaint they had received on these men THE SAME DAY, even! Once we paid out bills, the manager magically appeared to ask what had happened. We explained to him the situation and he looked embarrassed and said that he would be taking care of it, but that was the end of it. He didn't do anything to try to make the situation right, which I honestly don't think he could've at that point anyways, but I highly recommend you avoid this place. There are too many great sushi and hibachi places in town to ever go to this place. I highly recommend Kyushu off Hurstbourne or Fuji in Springhurst, among many other great options in the area, but Sake Blue doesn't deserve anyone's business. I'll certainly never be back and I've shared this with several others who have said they won't ever visit here again either. It's unfortunate but I'll spend my money where it is deserved, earned, and appreciated. Not somewhere that treats you as an inconvenience, and like they can't wait for you to just shut up and leave. Yikes. I don't know how this place is still in business but I'd imagine they won't be for much longer, if this is how they treat their customers. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere but here!!

Food was great. Was our first time going, service could have been better and more informative. When asked for more time to order we were told we didn't have more time. Server completely ignored my 6 year old grandson.

This was my first time experience trying Sake Blue. My son has told me about it a few times, so he took me out for Mother's Day dinner. I ordered the steak and chicken Hibachi with vegetables and rice. It also came with a chicken broth soup, and a salad with ginger dressing. The ginger dressing is fantastic! The food was amazing!! The restaurant was very crowded, but the service was excellent. Everything came out hot and delicious. We will be going again soon! 😋😋😋

What was my favorite Japanese tapan restaurant is no more, since they decided to close their hibachi tables it's become an overpriced sushi restaurant Since I found Sake Blue the problem, it's been solved, and by the way, more affordable and great tasting food It's a must try

Food was excellent, atmosphere was great, service sucked. Server was rude and we never got our sushi, took it off the bill. Had a party of 17, ridiculous......

We had ordered 12 sushi rolls for 7 of us(4 adults, 3 kids). All ranging from $18 to $22. Only averaging 5 slices per roll. Portions are about average compared to the place where we usually go to. Most rolls are overly sweet with too much sauce on them. We left there half full with our ticket being over $250 after 18% gratuity. Overall portion-to-price ratio was low. And very low lighting inside. Barely could see what's on the table. First and last time.

Great food at a reasonable price. The menu choices are plentiful sure to please everyone. Hibachi Shrimp and Calamari were our choices for dinner, we were not disappointed. We had filet mignon on a lava rock for an appetizer what a great starter.

The food is always amazing, the waiter was great our Hibachi chef this time was not that engaging He only spoke to one person at the table. Plan to go back for my second week of celebrating my birthday on the actual day. The apple Sake is fabulous,if you like Sake I suggest you try it.

We ate here while in Louisville. The food was excellent and the service was really good. This is a nice upscale restaurant. We will definitely eat here again.

amazing sushi restaurant in Louisville. probably one of the top ones in town. sushi creations are creative and delicious. service was quick during lunch hours.

Best sushi on the east end. It gets packed on weekends, but worth it for some creative, fun rolls like the Ecuador, that are only found here. Their garlic edamame is great while you wait. Great decor, worthy of a semi-special occasion.

This is the best sushi expetience in Louisville!!! Read that again. I'm not kidding. The sushi is great. The atmosphere is great. The service is great. The place is always hopping and that alone speaks volumes. They expanded and its still packed. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has its own unique feel. The hibachi is good. Parking g is just fine. Access is good. There's not much more that I can compliment.

Great food. Have always had a wonderful experience when dining here.

I took my nephew to Sake Blue for his birthday and we had a comedian for the chef He was cracking jokes as he was cooking on food. It was kind of funny because he was making fun of some of the people that were there. But all in all, my nephew enjoyed his birthday dinner and we had a very Good night. The chef made us laugh and R food was delicious. Couldn't get any better than that.Because god blesses us to go to Sake Blue. If you have never been to Sake Blue You need to try every bit of what they say Go get you some.It is really really delicious and amazing and comfortable and awesome and just full of laughter.

It's such a fun place to go to have dinner. Wonderful chefs coming on the grills and food was excellent.

THEY GIVE ME THE WRONG ORDER! Then proceed to tell me to come back to get the right food. After driving for. 2 hours they won’t even give me a free meal or money back. YOU LOST A CUSTOMER FOREVER YOU OVER PRICED GLORIFIED FAKE CULTURAL TRASH

First experience here. My Special Needs Daughter loved it! We had so much fun with the chef and had sushi (Cha Cha) for the first time!

It's great, the show of preparing your food while you watch, the utmost care when preparing the food

Great food while you watch. Kevin and David provided us with a family dinner. David helped my daughter enjoy the show. We ordered tofu from the kitchen. It was good.

First time going. Very nice. Enjoyed the hibachi.

Very quiet restaurant with excellent Asian- Fusion Menu.

Me and husband came here for a date night. Walked in, wasn’t greeted for almost 10 minutes. Our sever once we were seated was moving quickly. Never once had an empty drink. Food was so good, we’ve never been disappointed with it here. Atmosphere was loud, and it had the smell of old cleaning rags like a school cafeteria. Don’t know if I’d eat inside again but we would for sure get carry out.

Pros: New York steak (rare) was excellent. Teriyaki Salmon was good. Rice, vegetables, salad and soup was delicious. Chef was very polite and made sure all orders were corrected before cooking. Hostess was very polite and fast. Cons: Waiting table had prior spilt drink that was not cleaned during our wait. Waitress had two long hairs fall onto my plate while reaching over to hand person beside me their soup/salad. She also delivered see through coke and dr. Pepper to a party at our table and had their orders incorrect. All the meats were stored on the bottom of an uncovered cart they kept by customers & everyone’s feet.

Sake probably has the best decor and aesthetics at a hibachi place in Louisville. They seem to be a tad more expensive but honestly all hibachi tastes the same to me . We went for my daughter birthday. The chef was charismatic and amusing and great at his job. The food was good and they were good at keeping drinks refilled. The only knock I have is that they give off a rushing type of vibe after chef finishes cooking. Most our plates were halfway done when they brought out to go bags and boxes. We came on a Saturday at 7:30 and were seated at 8:30 so maybe that’s why they do that due to rush on weekend. But sushi and hibachi were good.

The sake blue roll and the John Wayne roll are both really good! Our waitress was so sweet and super nice.

We go to Sake Blue usually once a month. The service last night was horrible. Kevin, who we seen maybe twice, was our waiter. He forgot my husband's sushi and the manager finally came over and he got his roll when the chef was almost done with out meal. We couldn't get refills and the manager finally came over and got us drinks, our checks and to go boxes. To spend $30 each and the service to be horrible is just unacceptable.

Their food is mediocre at best. But they need to change their times because it says 10 but they stop taking people at 9:30 and they don’t pick up the phones at 9:25 or even before that.

Food is delicious! Staff is fun...

After 7 days, they decided to overdraft my card and add $30 to the bill. After marking out the *tip* of the receipt I tipped hibachi chef $10 and the waitress $20 in cash. I ordered hibachi with rice, NY steak and shrimp, my fiance ordered 3 rolls of sushi after specifically saying she only wanted 2 but we didn't want to make a fuss of it, and then ordered a fried xango cake. We have video proof of the whole night. Portion sizes were tiny, but the food was okay, lexington had a better hibachi for a fraction of the price, only 1 of the rolls of sushi was edible, the other 2 were horrible, and poorly prepared, and that's coming from someone who worked as an Executive Sous Chef at a sushi restaurant in Colorado Springs, Co. Overall experience, horrible, waitress was nice until we tipped her, she seemed like we asked too many questions and didn't even know half of the menu items. I am very disappointed mainly because it was such highly rated. AND JUST REMEMBERING, the lady NEXT to us with her 2 kids had a $112.22 bill and I remember joking you my fiance "well, I guess it could've been worse, we could've paid $112"

Delicious food! Friendly staff.

I always love coming to this place food is awesome.

The food is amazing, the service is amazing and the atmosphere is amazing!

Per my wife’s request we go here every year for her birthday

Without a doubt the best hibachi place in Louisville. Everytime it’s always good no matter the chef. The California rolls are some of the best I’ve ever had. The steak is always tender and seasoned well.

Underwhelming. Crunch munch rolls had artificially green "crunch". We will stick to Hik-O-Mon and other more reliable and high quality sushi options.

Everything you'd expect from Hibachi and more. I thought everything was fantastic and the interior decor creates a nice mood. I will definitely just go back here in the future when i go eat hibachi again.

Took along time to get our food, but it was delicious!!!

Excelente experiencia y tragos bien buenos ...

Absolute beautiful restaurant with very modern decor and atmosphere. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. We were sat very quickly and our orders were put in shortly after. Sake Blue has a very vast menu of extremely interesting and exotic choices. I plan on going back to try as much as possible. The signature rolls are massive, the rolls may seem expensive when glancing at the menu but when they come out you immediately know you got your moneys worth. Each rolls we got was unique and flavorful. The ginger was wasabi was fresh. Really great restaurant, we do plan on going back soon

Delicious! We really have always loved this place.

I was missing out on this place! Amazing sushi! I had the passion blue (far left) temptation(middle) and John Wayne with the gyoza and garlic edamame. This place also offers hibachi.

Food was decent, the bathroom was horrendous poop all over the seat and poop in the waiting area also there was a homeless man washing himself in the toilet definitely not going again

One of the best sushi places in Louisville you’ve got to try it

Food was delicious. Dined last night for my daughter's birthday. Bill was $168.00 with a 30 dollar tip. Server was very impatient. Asked me 2x if I was ready to order. We were a party of 4. I explained we had not been there before so we needed a little time. She literally looked at her watch and sighed. When we did order she said "ok finally". Very unprofessional and rude.

I love sake blue, their food is always nice and they have a great staff.

Julie is amazing super friendly and has the best customer service skills we absolutely adore her and the food is always so fresh and delicious 🤤 ty for everything we look forward to coming In once a week for our favorite food !

Madison was a great server and the food was the best

This place is one of the best places to get sushi or hibachi.. it's out of the way but worth it.

I've been coming here for about 10+ years now, and today I had the BEST sushi roll I have ever had in my life. Red Phoenix Roll is what I always get, and its never bad, but today it's like the hand of God made this roll. The fried asparagus was still hot and crispy, the ratio of hot sauce to spicy crab, to cucumber, jalapeño and avocado was nothing less than perfection. Each bite was like biting into my taste buds wildest dream. I'll forever be chasing the deliciousness that was my lunch today. Thank you, and please, keep up the great work. 👍🏻

Madison our waitress was outstanding.my frudbd and I both wanted a mixed cocktail but they don’t serve them tell 3. So mixed us up somethung close to the drunk we wanted. The void is aboustely delicious.

Love thier sushi an the hibachi experience is so much fun. It is a bit pricey but the food is so worth it.

Love sake blue!! FYI get your sushi thin sliced, game changer!! Also the fried green ice cream is fabulous don’t forget about it!! 💜🩷

We made reservations for 11, but when we get there they said they don't take reservations.

Overall a great meal and wonderful service!

Food is always amazing. Service, 0/10 if I could. Every single time I have been here, I have ordered takeout. And every single time, the person at the counter is RUDE. It hasn’t always been the same person but the little blonde girl I got today, took the cake for being the most rude one yet. Had an attitude from the second I walked in. Was rude when I gave her my name “you had an order for WHAT” was her response. Was rude when I tried handing her my card then THREW my card instead of handing it back to me. At this point, I asked if she had to throw it to which she responded “nobody threw anything” . Had me sign a receipt that she then grabbed off the counter and crumbled up while I stood at the door. Rude rude rude. I understand a bad day. But WOW. Wouldn’t recommend this place if you want good, kind service. I don’t know why I have given it this many chances. What appeared to be the manager brought the food out at which point I expected maybe an apology or even an explanation for such a nasty attitude from her, but nope. Nothing. Hopefully the customers after myself received better service.

Food here is always hot and delicious, their signature Passion Blue Sushi roll is so fire!

Everything was great! We had a large party and they took care of us and never missed a beat.

I was here for a friend’s birthday - we wondered where to go and this place was decided. I’ve had a lot of memory here… former significant others, my friend’s brother was the sushi was the sushi chef here for some time. Anyways, we did an omakase amid other dishes and they were overall all solid. The omakase exceed both our expectation as the cuts for sashimi was great quality. The steak tatake was decent, not exceptional. The udon was solid as was the fried rice. We felt full leaving and exceeded our expectations for the day.

What a great restaurant in Fern Creek! The atmosphere is very modern and comfortable! We enjoyed a hibachi meal and the preparation and food quality was outstanding. I highly recommend this place, but be sure to get a reservation!

We have ate here before and it's just OK, but the main problem is that we got here 17min before their 9pm closing time and we couldn't even order to go. If you care about your customers please update your hours of operations so you don't waste our time.

As far as I am concerned, Sake Blue is the finest Japanese restaurant in Louisville. The menu creations boggle the mind and the food goes far beyond excellent! The calamari was to die for, and our waitress suggested a roll the lakes of which I have not seen or tasted anything as rich and flavorful as that roll. Wish I could remember its name. The main dish was something like Sake Blue plate. I wish I had taken pictures! For dessert we had a deep fried cheese cake with homemade whip cream and chocolate drizzle. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She constantly tended to our drinks, and continually made sure that everything was perfect. She was very friendly, professional, with a nice touch of bowing when complemented and when the meal was complete and we were leaving the restaurant. This is probably the finest restaurant meal I have had in years. This review may sound a little over the top, but you will get it if you take the time to try. It is a bit pricey, but worth every penny.

Absolutely love this place! I have been to several sushi places in Louisville. This is by far the best! Highly recommend!
