Jobbers canyon turning to.....
Talking with a couple of friends last night and they said Blue Sushi was making a possible bid for the place. Interesting.

To open another Blue Sushi? Â How much sushi would you have to sell in that joint to pay the rent?MythOldMarket wrote:Talking with a couple of friends last night and they said Blue Sushi was making a possible bid for the place. Interesting.
Between O, Matsu, and now Urban on the weekend nights, I'd question whether the downtown Asian-fusion-sushi dollar wouldn't be getting spread a bit thin if Blue opened. Â Oh well, the winner would be happy I'm sure.

It may not be Blue specifically but the owners of Blue which own Roja etc. also. Â Maybe they will locate a 2nd version of own of their existing places or perhaps an entirely new concept.MythOldMarket wrote:Talking with a couple of friends last night and they said Blue Sushi was making a possible bid for the place.

If I'm not mistaken, they already own Bianco Italian Ristorante. If they go green, it should be Verdi.Brad wrote:And Red Lounge.j4nu wrote:It may not be Blue specifically but the owners of Blue which own Roja etc. also.

I spoke to one of the owners at Red last week and evidently they have several plans in the works. I was a tad tipsy, but I believe he said they are going to open a place in the old Jobbers Canyon that will be a Blue on one floor and a lounge similar to Red on the other. He also said they will be opening another version of Blue called Baby Blue or something like that in Legacy and they have another Blue in the works for KC.
Hope you were not too tipsy , because that is great info!

It wouldn't work logistically I'm sure, but wouldn't it be cool if each floor was a color? Â Red, Blue, White or some combination with the menus and atmosphere to match.ThatGuy wrote:I spoke to one of the owners at Red last week and evidently they have several plans in the works.

Blue Sushi restaurant planned in Old Market
Omaha World Herald wrote:The Omaha fellows behind Blue Sushi, Roja Mexican and Bianco Italian restaurants plan to open a flagship Blue Sushi restaurant and banquet facility in the Old Market this summer. The first floor, he said, will have the same sleek look and feel as the original Blue Sushi, which opened near 144th Street and West Maple Road in fall 2002. The second floor will be "darker, louder, lounge-ier and maybe a little younger," Hogan said, but still full-service.
Hogan said the new banquet hall, a 300-seat catering facility on the building's third floor, will open about two months later and provide a location for parties and events handled by the company's Red, White and Blue Catering division.
And if run right, they will roll in the green....Coyote wrote:Blue Sushi restaurant planned in Old Market

Blue Sushi - Old Market, Shops of Legacy, Aksarben Village
Blue will be taking over the Jobbers Canyon location in the Old Market and opening a location in the Shops of Legacy. Â Perhaps this should go in the rumor section but it looks like they may be moving into Aksarben village as well.

Could the kettles be used to make sake??? Â Wouldn't that be the |expletive|! Â A local, micro-brewed sake! Â (I don't know if it's possible...I'm just an idea man, like Swift).

are there any stats that show how many people will be moving downtown???onehunglow wrote:that is awesome!!! Â love their sushi! Â the one out west is always too packed anyway. Â hard to get in there on the weekends and with so many people moving downtown, this will be nothing but a great thing for all
just curious.
Has anyone heard anything regarding opening dates for the Blue Sushi location downtown? Â The sign out front says "Summer 08" so we should be getting close if they still plan on hitting this deadline. Â
I know that I walked past on Sunday, and there were workers inside, so they're really pushing to get stuff done, working 7 days a week. Â From what I can see, they've got the bar built out (not finished though, still needs a top, and whatever materials they're going to cover the wood frame with), and several benches built along the walls downstairs. Â No clue as to how far upstairs is. Â There also appeared to be a bit of furniture arriving on-site, which means they're closer than it may look.

I think Blue is open or very close to opening. I saw waiters and some other people going in and out around lunch today.
I swear to god it is almost impossible to see in there just walking by on the street. Bad move. THere was a small crowd outside looking to see if the place was open (myself included) due to other people going in and out but there was no real "OPEN" sign and you can't see anything going on on the inside.

They ARE OPEN. I stopped by towards the end of the lunch hour and stuck my head in. The manager said they did a light lunch service, closed to finish up a couple of last minute fixes, and will re-open for happy hour / dinner service. Even though they were technically closed, he let me walk in and see the place. They did a great job remodeling, and this will clearly be the largest of their 3 locations. Downstairs is the main restaurant, upstairs is "Sake Bombers Lounge", although full menu is available everywhere. Happy hour will be upstairs, with regular service downstairs. Late night Happy Hour will be downstairs, with upstairs turning more into a lounge/bar.
BTW, same menu as the other locations.
