Blu Karma — Restaurant in Danvers

North of Boston, there is no other place that competes with Blu Karma! Their Sushi and Asian menu are bar none...the BEST!

This restaurant is always busy, their service is amazing (love the people here, always accommodating) and the food is incredible whether dining in, take out and delivery for small or larger crowds!

We host a New Year's Day party for family and friends and EVERYONE looks forward to coming to enjoy the delicious Sushi and Asian food. Their Sushi (especially the Special Maki) is the BEST and their Sushi Boats are a work of art! Everyone LOVES the food, it arrives fresh, on time and sets a positive tone for a fun afternoon of friends, family, card games and lots of laughs...truly a special memory!

I met Tina (owner), many years ago and she has been gracious and always willing to suggest ideas and to deliver to Gloucester...we have enjoyed Blu Karma for 7+ years on New Year's Day, several family/friend summer parties and even work events. The service they provide and their food is top notch!

I stopped by a couple days ago, Tina was out and Katy took over! Such a seamless transition...Katy has been so helpful in planning and suggesting some new dishes to try...and of course a Sushi Boat with popular choices. Katy has worked there for many years as well...this tells you a LOT about what a wonderful business and place to dine this is!

I also want to thank the Chef and the Kitchen team for the care you provide to our order to ensure everyone enjoys (and appreciate your special accommodations for GF and other requests)...and they do! I also want to thank our delivery driver who has been there every year on New Year's - Happy New Year and...

Incredible restaurant, came here before catching a movie by myself and was welcomed in a warm, friendly manner. Sat at the bar and was met with excellent service, despite it being busy, I got my meal and drink quickly. The server also was on top of drink refills. The sushi chef’s have a big bowl filled with 1’s, 10’s and 20’s and it is for a very good reason as it is some of the best sushi I’ve had in my life. If you wanna catch dinner before a movie…THIS is the place to go…NOT Buffalo Wild Wings. Will be back more frequently.

Edit: upon leaving it was discovered my card was declined due to a freeze at 8:30 pm on a Friday night before a long weekend. I panicked and cried bc it was so embarrassing. I even showed the staff what was in my bank account to prove I’d never go out to eat if I didn’t have the money. There have been times I have been actually poor in my life, but now is not one of them. In any case, they were SO understanding offering many, beyond expectation, accomedations. Luckily, I was able to use my brother’s card and will call my bank first thing in the AM. Also, there was a couple dining and offered to cover me…thank you so much for being such kind, compassionate, and understanding people. Despite my embarrassment from crying and people probably thinking I didn’t have enough $ to pay the tab, I will absolutely be back and was made sure I felt welcomed back. This is a TRUE and AUTHENTIC business and I will be recommending to everyone...

It's a cute place that makes best of the size it has on the street of a busy intersection. Cute menu with a decent selection of generic American Asian cuisine that would satisfy a wide range of people. The dishes we got were delicious though the portion varied in value.

The general chicken was on the menu as a big plate dish. Seeing the dish，it's a big plate but the portion was not at all much, that gave me a chuckle on their wording, it's well played. The chicken was moist,it was fried just right and the flavor was on point however so I'll enjoy it for what it was.

The mapo tofu was cooked splendidly although a bit bland, could have used more ma la spice to really kick it up. I hyped it up to my friend who was expecting something much hotter, will need to remember next time.

The rice however was in no way worth the price they charged. Especially considering the rest of the dish prices it was a bit costly for what they gave. We needed a second but held off as it wasn't worth it.

Service was acceptable, but far from great. The server didn't interact with us except at the beginning, getting our order and then collecting payment. Not once did they stop by to ask how things were or much else besides refilling our water glasses.

All in all. It was okay, and okay was palatable, but it's not something I'll go out of my way to visit again, there are others that do the same and...
