After driving past this place several times, I finally decided to try dinner there with my wife. I'm glad I did, because the food is terrific. But more than that, there are a lot of other things that set Blue Lagoon apart from many other Asian places. It's very nice inside, with simple but elegant decor. Even the plates are beautiful. And it's definitely not just you're average sweet-n-sour chicken kind place. The menu is much more creative than that. We'll definitely be going back.
Review Source:I am really, really surprised at the quality of food here! I was expecting much more americanized chinese, and while you'll definitely find americanized chinese, you can also find some authentic.
I came here for a sushi dinner and loved the rolls and nigiri we ordered. Service was quick and friendly. They even comped us an order of yummy edamame, which was hot and perfectly salted.
More recently, I came for a quick-ish lunch with a friend. We ordered the sacha chicken and the thai style eggplant. Do not be fooled by the small price (6.95. includes fried rice and a spring roll), because you get big portions. Ok, fine, I ate all my fried rice (a medium sized rice bowl's worth). My friend and I both agreed that we should have shared ONE serving of the rice. The amt of the entree was quite impressive for the lunch price.
I might have to bump up the stars to 5 after I order in lunch. They'll deliver to anywhere on the Anschutz Medical Campus. I think there might be a $10 minimum. Look for the lunch specials for sushi! They look like a fantastic deal!
I've been passing by this new sushi restaurant on my way to work. I finally went with my roommate who looked at me when like I wash crazy when I invited him. He said the area was sketchy. Anyhow, we ended up going and let me tell you, their sushi was amazing. So good that my roommate and I went back the following day. They had a very good variety of rolls and we even tried their pot stickers which were amazing. As far as service goes, they were very attentive and gave really good service. Â I told my friend that it had been such a long time since I have had such great service like theirs. Â I Will definitely be adding this place to the list of one of my favorite sushi places. Forget about the area and give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed.
Review Source:Since I'm always on a quest to try new places around the Anschutz Medical Campus, I was over the moon to see Blue Lagoon install itself just across Peoria. Â Nice and convenient!
I went to BL with a coworker and my sister. Â We attempted to beat the lunch rush, but everyone poured in right behind us. Â And I'm not sure how or why, but we ended up being waited on after many of the people after us. Â So if we had been in a hurry, that would have been no bueno. Â For the time being, I will chalk that up to the growing pains of opening a new restaurant.
As I said, after being waited on, our appetizers arrived fairly quickly. Â My coworker, Ruby, and I had both ordered the spring rolls. Â We were anticipating finger food sized portions, but oh no. Â These puppies were as big as my hand! Â One roll was plenty for one person (see photo!). Â My sister, Lisa H, loves crab cheese wantons, so we munched on those as well. Â Massive spring roll size notwithstanding, both apps were delicious!
Next up, our entrees! Â I've been in a seafood type mood lately, so I ordered up some seafood udon. Â In the always appropriate words of George Taikei, oh myy, these were some tasty noodles! Â The lunch portion was huge! Â So much so that I easily had leftovers; score! Â And the seafood was (seemingly) fresh and very tasty! Â Lisa H opted for sesame chicken, her go-to Chinese food staple. Â From all indications (her plate was sparkling), it too hit the spot! Â I can't remember exactly what Ruby ordered, but she too was raving about the awesome food.
Although the service was a bit slow, the food was awesome and certainly deems another visit soon. Â Thank you, Blue Lagoon, for setting up shop near the AMC! Â We certainly needed a quality Asian bistro to add to the rotation of lunch spots!
I stopped in today for the first time for lunch with a coworker. We were concerned about price when we pulled up and noticed the linen tablecloths. Once we got a look at the lunch portions on the menu, however, we were pleasantly surprised. With lunch you get any entree with an egg roll and fried rice for $7 or less! It was a great value for the amount of food we got. I ordered the Sacha Beef and my coworker got the Kung Pao Chicken. Both were delicious and each gave us enough for another meal or two. I also got an order of the potstickers for another $6 and they were amazing.
The service was quick and friendly. The interior was beautiful and clean. Don't let the neighbors fool you! I will definitely be going back!
So, there's a new restaurant across the street from the medical campus, and they deliver, even on Sunday. Their remodeled space is very nice, as are the people running it. Â The menu has some Thai and Japanese items, but it's mostly Chinese, plus a respectable assortment of sushi. Â The menu seems to have quite a bit of overlap with Blue Bay over in Green Valley Ranch, even in the descriptions, but I'm not sure what the relationship is. Â I've had takeout twice, and sampled several dishes. The mo shu pork, kung pao chicken, and hot and sour soup were good--not the best I've had, but good, as was the California roll. I appreciate that they mark the cooked rolls on the menu. I didn't care for the Thai hot and sour soup, so for Thai food, I think I'll stick to the 3 really good Thai restaurants near here. Most items on the menu are available for lunch (10:30-3:30) or dinner, and they offer a lunch sushi roll special, which I've not yet tried. They've only just opened, so I think they need a little more time to hit their stride, but I'll definitely be going back.
