Blu Karma

All I remember is the place being a Kentucky Fried Chicken and now I walk in there and it's a completely different chill inviting calming yet hip atmosphere with friendly service that greeted us immediately at the door we were seated within seconds and served very promptly everything we got was absolutely amazing! My husband's first time trying doc we got the mango crusted duck it was incredible! The pineapple fried rice with chicken and shrimp served in a half of a pineapple shell was fresh flavorful and delicious never mind my obsession with raw oysters on the half shell they were wonderful nice and fresh and the chicken teriyaki tempura Maki was also delicious definitely hit the spot definitely will be going back! A tad pricey but well worth it!

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 THANK YOU ALL!

Updated review: 11/15/23 As much as my family loves the food, we won't be ordering anymore. I always pay with a card for delivery and give a cash tip. Today after placing an order, the owner I believe called to ask if I would be paying cash for the tip?!?! It was extremely offputing. I told her I always tip in cash. If my daughter didn't know I placed the order, I would have canceled it. It was just so rude. I found out that several other people I know have received a call with the same question asked. Gross. **************************** Absolutely LOVE Blu Karma. My fiancè and I have been ordering takeout since the pandemic. We have been impressed every time. Just last week we placed a large order for my daughter's 10th birthday. She requested sushi and that's what she got. They organized all of our choices by name and in individual containers. Amazing. You would think we had several people with the amount we got, nope...just six. 😂 We ordered online and had it delivered. Within 45 minutes it was at our door and the gentleman that delivered it was so friendly. Also, I love the individual containers of soy sauce. My daughter said she was in heaven and that "sushi is life".
