Blue Buddha Sushi Lounge — Restaurant in Page

Wow. I wish we had one of these in Cali. I was skeptical, at first, because I am pretty picky with sushi. We were craving and our abnb host said they had “amazing sushi”, so I took a look at the menu, and decided to take a gamble. Looks like they also have one in big sky, and big sky has great food, so was just hoping this was going to work out. And boy did it! Couldn’t have been happier! We have some really great sushi in CA, and this place is right there at the top. We absolutely loved the hamachi belly and would have loved to order salmon belly as well, but they ran out, so that must be good too. We also loved loved the D Rope and the wake surfer roll, super delicious. Couldn’t resist ordering the yum yum bombs (never had anything like it before) and those wonderful little balls of happiness pushed our amazing meal right over the top! Disappointed I didn’t take any pics to share because we were too busy eating! Oh and last, but certainly not least, the staff were so so nice! Thank you blue Buddha for a fabulous dinner. That just made our one night in page extra...

Was seated with menus, almost immediately. No waitress for over 10 minutes. It was not busy, we arrived before the rush. Toddler began to get fussy so we decided to go to the bar and order our food to go. We were charged an 18% gratuity, was told this was required. Most restaurants have done away with forced tipping because the IRS views this as taxable revenue and requires the restaurant to report it. Hope they are square with Uncle Sam... audits can be rough. Received our food after about a 30 minute wait. The tuna sashimi was fine, but for the price, it was a lower quality (tuna appeared dyed). The rest of the food was good. The rice bowls had minimal meat. Over all the experience was ok, especially considering the nearest legitimate sushi restaurant is over 2 hours away. I suppose you could consider them above average when compared to most Page...

Overall I wouldn't come back. We were one of the few people when first opened. I felt that everything was rushed. My drink was alright, I had the strawberry mojito. The sushi didn't have wasabi or ginger with it on the side. Like sushi usually does. It took awhile getting refills on my water. My phat bowl had no teriyaki sauce when I asked for it that way and it had mushrooms. I didn't read there were mushrooms in it and Im allergic to it. I would've said no mushrooms if I knew. On the menu, it also said it's non refundable so I couldn't send it back because by then I lost my appetite. The check took awhile to get to us. And for two people with a baby, I had gratuity of 15 dollars. I never really seen gratuity on small parties, just large ones. I've worked a few restaurants and I've dined in quite a few places to know this. Just...
