Blue Lagoon

Ordered take-​out twice and ate in once. Take-​out orders have been quick and correct. Dine-​in was good and promptly served. Food has been tasty and while the menu identifies spicy items, they were not overtly hot for my pallet.

Delivery on Christmas Eve to the hospital was nice. Spring rolls were average, pad Thai had a strange unflavored red sauce, but steamed rice was good. Portions were great and quick delivery.

first time here and it was fantastic. amazing rolls, super good food, they even gave us free appetizers. if you’re in the aurora, this is the spot. Chinese, Thai, and sushi. the lion rolls are impeccable.

I just moved down the street from Blue Lagoon and I have mixed feelings. I am not particularly impressed with their customer service but what I have eaten wasn’t half bad. I have had the chicken lettuce wraps which were good except that the lettuce was so mangled there was no way to place the filling in it to wrap. I’m a bit disappointed that they thought that was ok to give a customer lettuce wraps that couldn’t be wrapped.
I’ve also had the chicken fried rice which was just ok but had a decent amount of chicken in it. I’m going to give them one more try before forming a permanent impression.

Loved the sushi here. We order a bunch of different plates and had some nigiri and sashimi, probably one of my favorite new places In Denver for sushi. The place was a little crowded when we came but service was great.

Don’t know what happened to this place. Used to be one of my favorites. Now service is bad and Coconut soup was disgusting.

The panang curry is very flavorful. Egg rolls also very tasty, crispy shell and fresh.
However the orange chicken was very soggy and very unfortunate.

I literally feel like I’m in the twilight zone. I ate her for a business meeting a month ago. Service was horrible and food was disgusting. We barely touched the food because I was scared we would get food poisoning from bad fish.
We were the only customers in there and our waitress only stopped by to grab our order and drop it off. I had to go up to her even though we were only ones in restaurant to ask for check and pay. Even though service was terrible I tipped $ 10 on $ 53.17 as I was a waitress for years and always tip.
I was doing my expense report today and noticed I didn’t have an itemized receipt, which I need for the report. I called three times asking for it and got a different story each time. The third time a manger yelled at me that I took both copies of the credit card receipt and that the waitress didn’t get her tip which made no sense as I only have one copy. The manager told me she would not send me a copy of the itemized receipt unless I DROVE over there and gave the waitress a cash tip or charged my credit card again. There was no way i was driving there as I was in California and because it was a company card I couldn’t let her charge it again after the fact. And skirts be honest no restaurant manager in their right mind would ever make such demands.
I became very angry as it wasn’t my fault they didn’t process the tip to begin with and she was lucky she even got one in the first place. The manager told me no receipt until I did it!!! WHAT??? She said a lot more things too and I’m floored she would ever talk that way to a customer
Let’s be clear, tips are earned not demanded… that’s why hey are optional. I have never heard a manager talk like this before and I have worked in restaurants my whole life. And I did tip her and she lost her copy. Here is a pic to prove I did!
This place is disgusting and unprofessional. It’s actually illegal what she just did. I do not recommend eating here… EVER! Oh and both me and my colleague ended up feeling sick that night!

Ordered takeout as a recommendation from a friend and I’m glad I did! Good Chinese is hard to come by these days and what I had did not disappoint. I had szechwan chicken, which had the perfect amount of spice and the crab/​cream cheese wontons that I wished were never ending. They have free delivery so I will definitely have to take them up on that sometime.

After reading all the positive reviews I was excited to try the Blue Lagoon. However, my dining experince has left me highly disappointed. I called in a to go order consiting of chicken lo mein, sesame chicken, and egg drop soup. It was ready in about 10 minutes which was great. Yet, the fact that there was literally a SINGLE customer eating in the restaurant on a Friday evening should have been enough of a warning; but I decided to give the place a try anyways. Let me start of by saying the lo mein noodles have a very strange consisisity to them, hard to explain but not at all appetizing. While there is a decent amount of chicken included in the dish the rest of the ingredients consist of onions. No carrots, snow peas, broccoli, bamboo or any of the typical veggies included in lo mein dishes. I personally prefer my lo mein to include a variety of vegetables so the fact that it was basically all noodles and slices of different types of onion was off putting. On to the sesame chicken, which included both red and green bell peppers and broccoli (a fact my boyfriend was not pleased about). The chicken was simply terrible, very bland and both the breading and chicken were super soggy. So soggy that when trying to pick it up with chop sticks the pieces just fell apart into a pile of orange mush. Only positive thing I can say is that the egg drop soup was decent, woohoo… $ 28 down the drain.

I used to have the sushi from here regularly when children’s hospital Colorado had it in the lunchroom. Sadly, they do not carry it anymore, and my lunch is a much less interesting and less delicious time. But back to my visit. My wife and I got some sushi and won tons for take out and it was amazing. She really enjoyed seeing the chef going to the sushi bar to make our food fresh. I really like the size of the sushi. A little smaller than some places but for me, that is better. I like being able to eat it in one bite without feeling like i have a huge mouthful i have to get through. The prices are reasonable and the won tons were very good too. We will be going back!

A-​Ok may be a bit of and oversell. this was just OK. The Pad Thai left something to be desired, kinda blah, bland, so-​so. The crab-​cheese wantons were pretty good tho. And they had a nice, polite delivery driver and they showed up much quicker than expected. Would try it again to see if the sushi is good.

Disclosure: This place is in my neighborhood and I’m probably biased since I want successful restaurants that deliver around me :)
I ordered the Singapore rice noodles with shrimp and fresh spring rolls with shrimp for delivery tonight. I like that Blue Lagoon offers online ordering through their website – it’s easy to use – and though I was told to allow 75 minutes for delivery when I ordered at 6:45pm, I got the order in about half that time. They deliver for free within 3 miles with a $ 10 minimum order, and (yes, I’m being lazy) I only live about a mile from the place.
The noodles were a little salty for my taste. I’ve never had Singapore noodles anywhere else; so, I don’t have a really good comparison or know how this dish should authentically taste. The shrimp were decent, though, without the tails, which I appreciate, and quite a few of them were in the dish.
I really liked the fresh spring rolls. I do love spring rolls in general, but these had a vinegary sweet taste in some bites that I liked. I think it might have been a fish sauce dressing on the carrots. It wasn’t overwhelming but added a nice dimension to the rolls. The peanut sauce was pretty good, too. It was creamier than other versions I’ve had.
With tip, my meal was under $ 20 and the delivery driver was nice, too!

My «pregnancy cravings» led me to dine at Blue Lagoon while in Denver… And it was… Quite the interesting «boat ride.»
This restaurant is kind of in the middle of nowhere so I guess it’s impressive that they even offer sushi… It also seemed rather sketchy too.
I wish I had Gordon Ramsey’s number because MAN he would have some shit to say about this place, I will be far nicer but I’m not going to sugar coat anything.
— don’t put a server in front of the house if she doesn’t know how to speak English (she was nice though)
— the salmon skin was pathetic and a bit tempura battered… And cold. But in their defense, they never catered to my specific no rice order before
— the eel was absolutely delicious, albeit a bit frozen tasting
— speaking of frozen, since this place is in the middle of nowhere, the sashimi tasted partly frozen due to wanting to maintain their stash without it going bad… Give it another hour to thaw and it’ll be good
— the orange chicken can feed a family of 5, you’ve been warned
— if you’re looking for a classy dining establishment, don’t come here.
I imagine this is a bit higher quality than truck stop sushi, no one got sick so that’s a huge bonus!
Why the three stars if I didn’t really approve of this restaurant and its paper table clothes and flimsy napkins (common, with sushi and Chinese food you at least need to invest in higher quality napkins… Sushi is messy) because well, it definitely satisfied my cravings for sushi when I went…
PS: obviously not pregnant if I chowed down on their sashimi deluxe ($ 24 for 18 thick slices– which is a great deal).

Kind of your run of the mill Asian restaurant. Nothing too exciting to shout about, but if you are in the mood for some sushi, I promise that this will hit the spot! Reasonable prices and good service. They also deliver to the AMC campus, which is a plus :)

A generic Asian restaurant which serves a medley of different cuisine types. They offer cheap prices for the sushi, stir-​fry, and noodle combos. Our group appreciated the low prices but the food wasn’t that great.

Steve welcomed us as old friends. That always makes dinner more enjoyable. Do stop in. Lunch is a great time to try smaller portion but please be very hungry as dinner portions are huge!

I appreciate the simplicity of this establishment. It’s not about glitz and glamor but it is about food. Over all this is a solid restaurant with a lot of good things going on the efficient service is something that I really appreciate. It’s quick and affordable and totally does the trick when you just need some good Asian food.
Here’s the one thing that I didn’t like: the Pad Thai. Talk about super disappointing — WAY too much chicken, way too little noodle. The flavor was ok and just ok. You can tell a lot about a place by their Pad Thai so I figure three stars is appropriate.
I really did like the Lo Mein, the Beef with Broccoli and the basic California Roll. The fact that they used full, fresh crab had a huge impact on the overall taste/​flavor and texture of the sushi. I’d like to try out some of the other sushi items next time I come in. The location is good, it’s easy to find but there is very limited parking.
As mentioned above, the service is quick and always polite. I’ve never had to wait very long for a meal which is good when you are in a rush. It a solid three star restaurant.

Being frustrated, and Hungry is NOT a good combination. We wanted to have Dinner a few miles away aka Near that Hospital, cannot find free parking, we settled for this establishment.
Maybe we did not see the Memo. Maybe we went on a wrong date or something. Sorry people, we did not share the sentiments about this establishments let alone of the glowing reviews. That recent visit was on Friday January 10^th 2014. Time was about 18:00hrs ish.
Is this a Chinese restaurant that serve Sushi and typical Americanized Asian food of «Chinese Food», «Thai Food», «Japanese Food» and «Vietnamese Food»? I think so.
I ask our lovely server whether they provide: Amaebi and Uni, but unfortunately this establishment do not. From the conversations she had with the other staffs, the other staffs «tends» to «scold» our lovely server. I felt bad because of my questions, she was scolded by the Sushi Chef.
From the Menu we decide to order these :
* Eel Nigiri ($ 5.00)
* Kaibashira Nigiri ($ 4.50)
* Chicken Green Curry ($ 9.25)
* Szechuan Beef ($ 9.95)
* Chinese Chow Fun with Shrimp ($ 9.25)
* Fountain Coke Cola for Hubs while I opt to have water.
From our observation, there are like 4 other patrons while we were there.
The food came out on a timely manner. But from there it went down the «drain».
Yes, the food came out piping hot. The Szechuan Beef seems greasy, tasted semi-​ok. We specifically request for our food to be SPICY HOT! The food WAS NOT SPICY HOT at all. Our server brought out the chili oil which was so rancid, aka «old» hence I left it out from my food. The Szechuan Beef, comes with silvered carrots, bamboo shoots, tomatoes, onions but it was a little salty for my personal taste bud. Hubs was OK with it.
The Chinese Chow Fun with Shrimp, is overly greasy. One dimension and once agin NOT SPICY at all. It comes with silvered carrots, green onions/​scallions, wilted green sprouts. *ANOTHER BIG SIGH*
The Chicken Green Curry, is overly too sweet for our liking. EPIC FAIL people! EPIC FAIL. Once again major disappointment. This bowl of Chicken Green Curry, comes with HUGE Chunks of Sweet Potatoes, Some Bell Peppers and HUGE Cuts of Jalapeño. Hello, who put SWEET Potatoes in Green Curry. *TRIPLE SIGH*
Now to put MORE «damage to the injury», my order of Eel Nigiri, though is just meh, the Kaibashira comes with avocado. The Kaibashira, was «flat», NOT Spicy and I don’t even taste the Scallops at all. Not even the SPICY MAYO! *SIGH* *SAD FACE INDEED*
Sorry Blue Lagoon for this rant. Nevertheless, we wish you well in your Business venture in this part of Neighborhood. Furthermore, I think they can succeed since while we were there, ALOT Patrons come in for their Take Out/​TO GO services.

I tried the Naruta roll and Red Caterpillar and both were much prettier than I expected them to be. They were colorful and neatly made. It had fresh avocado and some spicy tuna. The Naruta roll has no rice and is on the low carb menu. It comes with a low sodium sauce that’s thinner and blander than soy sauce.
The rolls were really just okay. There was nothing stupendous about them. They were quite standard in flavor though I do think they are very pretty.
I do like that this place has free delivery up until 10PM if you live w/​in a 5 mile radius of them. This would be perfect for times when you crave sushi but don’t want to venture out into bad weather.
