We had a great experience at this relatively new restaurant. The staff were very kind and helpful, and it was easily the best sushi I’ve ever had. The menu has a large variety of options. We ordered the lemon bliss roll, the northern lights roll, the sea urchin, and the scallops. For dessert, we had the mochi ice cream bites. Everything was fantastic! I also have celiac and require gluten free, and they were able to accommodate by making a couple substitutions and putting the sauces on the side. They also provide gluten free soy sauce upon request.

Sushi Blue Wave is a true dining experience. I’ve been to Michelin-star restaurants, and none of them compare to Sushi Blue Wave. The reservation system is great—if you arrive around 4:40 p.m. before they open at five, you can put your name on the list and have a good chance of getting a seat at the sushi bar. I’m sure that will change soon; this place is going to blow up.

All of the employees are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to sit at the sushi bar two nights during our trip, and it was fascinating to watch. They’re true artists, every single one of them.

I’d recommend:
• Truffle Edamame
• Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice with Jalapeño
• Kubota Senju (small)
• Chef’s Choice
• Blue Wave Crunch Roll
• Dry-Aged Wasabi Truffle Salmon
• Lemon Bliss Roll

But honestly, you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Their sake selection is excellent as well—just ask your server for a recommendation that pairs with the fish you’re ordering.

My personal favorite was the Dry-Aged Wasabi Truffle Salmon. It’s the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life.

Thank you to the entire Sushi Blue Wave team. I can’t wait to come back.

TL;DR Absolutely delicious, modern yet authentic sushi in a cozy setting with excellent service.

We were welcomed warmly. I’m always hesitant to try any non-traditional sushi, but everything we ordered tasted well balanced with clear thought and care in flavors and preparation.

Something I’ll probably never taste again unless I visit was the octopus karaage, which was unique and flavorful with fun textures. Recommended.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Blue Wave Sushi!

From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The quality of the fish was exceptional!

Our server, Melyssa, made the experience even better. She was warm, attentive, and so knowledgeable about the menu. Her timing was perfect, and her recommendations were spot-on! The food came out super fast, and every single cut was pristine – some of the freshest, most flavorful sushi we’ve ever had.

If you’re looking for fresh, high-quality sushi and outstanding service, Blue Wave Sushi is the place to go. Can’t wait to come back

We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit… but first, off to Costco to walk it all off !

Incredible sushi. Incredible service. Smaller spot that does not take reservations, but the food is worth the wait. Great selection of fresh fish and creative flavors that are well balanced. Broad selection that allows you to try new things. The staff is very knowledgeable and makes great recommendations. We had PJ as our server and he really made the entire experience. This place is still somewhat under the radar with it only being open 7 months, but will soon see long lines once it starts to become a regular recommendation from the nearby resorts.

Absolutely blown away.

We literally just walked out of this restaurant, and I’m still in shock. I almost felt dizzy from how good the food was.

We’ve been to many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world – and honestly, none of them compare to these sushi. The quality, the freshness, the balance of flavors… it was unreal.

Every bite was perfection. Pure craftsmanship. No unnecessary show – just insanely good sushi done at the highest level.

This was not just dinner.
This was an experience.

WOW. Thank you !

I don’t know where to start, but the food, ambiance and the staff were amazing.
I’m not a sushi eater, so definitely don’t know what is what or the names, fortunately for me and my husband we went with my BIL who is a foodie and had eaten there before, EVERYTHING we tried was out of this world, so delicious. I personally loved their miso ramen, and a tasty eggplant with bonito flakes on it. The owner Teddy came by and had a drink with us, he’s so personable and also love Sy. We had an amazing time there. Will go back for sure.

Went out for dinner on our last night in Kauai and wish we had come here earlier! Best sushi I’ve ever had – melt in your mouth and so fresh. We also ordered miso soup, mixed tempura, and a pork bao bun — all were delicious, but the sushi was the star of the show. Servers were attentive and sweet. I wish I could dine here again before we leave, but we will definitely come back when we return to Kauai!
