Probably the best airport sushi you'll fine – though some international terminals in LAX and SFO have some great sushi as well. They have additional items as well – not just sushi but noodles and soups.
Fairly quick service (and nice people despite having to deal with so many customers).
Not a bad option when you're in the airport.
Stopped here for sushi before our flight. Service was much quicker than our precious experience despite the dining room being pretty busy. I had the green dragon roll, which had a combo of shrimp, avocado, crabmeat, cucumber for $13. It tasted fresh and had some crunch. Overall, good experience here.
Note that they sell Pepsi, not Coke, for peeps who care about that sort of thing!
Sushi is a great preflight meal- tasty enough to be satisfying but still relatively light so you're not sitting for hours with a brick in your stomach.
At deep blue, service is fast and can be a bit curt but that's understandable with the amount of turnover they're dealing with. I ordered the snow white roll and it was ready in about fifteen minutes, which isn't bad.
The snow white roll is made with tempura lobster, crab, yellowtail, and seaweed salad. The warm tempura is really delicious against the cool fish. I didn't really taste the crab but the lobster was meaty and juicy. The yellowtail wasn't the freshest but was still passable. The seaweed salad on top is a bit overwhelming in sweetness but you can just take a bit off and eat it separately.
The room has some cool blue lighting and is dim, but still bright enough to see your food clearly. Overall, decent service, atmosphere, and food. 4 stars
Got a meal voucher due to a horribly delayed flight, so decide to give this place a chance for a late night meal. Fortunately the sushi bar was still open after 11pm (closed around 1130?), so was able to place an order. The tamago was pretty bad; I would avoid this. The kampachi crudo was surprisingly nice though, fatty and flavorful. It was garnished with olive oil, pistachio, and some sort of small pepper. These two dishes totaled $20, and I was able to get some green tea for free. Overall not bad for an airport.
Quick, fresh, and wholesome. After eating only sandwiches the whole day, we stumbled across Deep Blue right next to our boarding gate because mom wanted rice for dinner before the 5 hour flight. We chose a table and sat down before flagging down a server. After engaging in some small talk about where our destination was, our waiter agreed we needed to eat something a bit heavier than mere fast food. I ordered the seafood fried rice and the rainbow roll to share. The other dishes were beef fried rice, chicken curry, and chicken teriyaki. I finished every last grain of rice from the mountain of small shrimp, squid rings, and shredded crab, very hungry people here. I liked how the rainbow roll was simple with only salmon, tuna, and yellowtail toppings, none of that fancy unidentifiable stuff. Everyone left their plates clean.
Cool ambiance with blue lighting, center bar with dining tables surrounding it. Expensive, but it's an airport and they cook the food fresh as you order. In and out within an hour, look around for wait staff if you're in a hurry to pay.
So, I had just returned from spending a month in Quito, Ecuador. What does that mean exactly? It means a heck of a lot of rice and a heck of a lot of beans. What are my favorite foods? Steak, Chipotle, and sushi. I was in JetBlue terminal 5, had some time to kill before my connecting flight to Buffalo and decided I needed to splurge for some real food. There's no Chipotle in this terminal and steak was a little out of my price range. I thought Deep Blue Sushi looked pretty swank so I stopped in.
Everything on the menu sounded absolutely great but the accompanying prices were less than thrilling. I ended up getting tuna tartare and it was decent. At the end of the day, this is still airport sushi and despite how extravagant the restaurant looks, keep in mind the price you're paying for airport sushi. Service was decent, although it is usually is when you're at a table of one. Nothing out of the ordinary… I'd greatly prefer Teton Kitchen in Buffalo, New York to this A-OK sushi in Terminal 5.
This place is pretty good on its own. For airport food I think it's fantastic.
Prices are a little high (airport inflation)
Rolls were good – Lobster roll was my favorite.
Chicken Pad Thai was just ok – I'm not a fan of peppers and onions in Pad Thai
Chicken lettuce wraps were meh.
Rock shrimp was really good!
Stand alone – this place would be just average – but for an airport I think it's a great spot if you have a layover.
I love this place. And not in a "for an airport it's pretty good" kind of way. I actually love this place. It's pricey (particularly if you order sushi individually) but worth it and the bartenders are always great. After years of flying LGA and EWR, I have decided that what I save on airport transport from the UES to LGA just isn't worth it. Newark is actually more money on the ground, but generally cheaper fares on Virgin.
The quality of the fish is very high and the rolls are innovative and good. On my way back from the Cape, I stopped before AirTrain for a late lunch (it was my first time and I expected it to be awful but it wasn't, just kinda long). The fried goat cheese croquettes atop tangy Asian salad was wonderful (and cheap at 9-10 given the size).
I don't recommend specialty cocktails here. They're expensive and low on booze. Stick with the wine, beer, sake, or classic cocktails.
