BLU - Restaurant & Lounge
BLU welcomes friends and guests to its Sugar Land home at the Town Square. BLU is a complete unique boutique dining experience. We serve a balanced mix of exquisite Euro-Asian cuisine including a myriad of Thai variations. We have created a menu that gives our dishes a distinctive note. We have a vast selection of portions to meet the needs of all our guests. Selections range from our tapas, dumplings, small plates to appetizer, soups, salads, main plates, rice/noodles and a customized selection of street food from all over the world. Eating at BLU is like taking a journey to another country because the flavors are so authentic. The vibrant mix of sophisticated & sumptuous cuisine and relaxing lounge spaces is where dining transcends into fête extraordinaire. Our Executive Chef Junnajet Hurapan "Jett", as he is called by many of his friends, impressed several of New York City’s top food critics before relocating to the Bayou City.

"Went there for father's day brunch. They serve exactly the same thing they have on any sunday brunch. Nothing special at all. We sat there for about 20 minutes without any service at all. We were on the verge of leaving when somebody asked if we were being served and of course we were not. Food was mediocre at best. We could have whipped that up at home."

"The hostess and waitress were really nice! Food was great! What stuck a thorn in my side was one matter. Made reservations for my bday and called to confirm dress code which I was told was casual. One of my bday guests was not allowed in, even though there were man already inside wearing shorts, flip flops, and even a ball cap or two. After asking 3 employees for the manager I was told he was too busy setting up the club. I walk outside to find him sitting down talking and laughing. When I went up to him I felt as if I was being talked down to. Even after I basically gave up on the matter, one of the bouncers started getting angry waving his hands around and slapping his hands together talking to us about the dress code. Unnecessary."

"The atmosphere in the restaurant was nice. Felt like I was out of Houston. Food was bland!!! And not that good. Enjoyed the lounge. Music started off very young. After talking to the DJ he really turned it around. Enjoyed lounge better than restaurant."

"Our first visit was right about the time the restaurant first opened. It was great then. The food is still as good...unique, high quality, and full of flavor. The prices are about what I expect for a "hip" restaurant like his, but the quality makes it worth it. Get there in enough time to enjoy some happy hour drinks and apps, and stay for a great dinner. The service was only OK. Not horrible, but a little slow with the drinks. May have just been that waiter on that day. Overall, pretty good place. Even our teenage son was impressed."

"Food was excellent and the waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, and polite. This was a dinner with potential clients from out of town. They were very impressed with the restaurant and our server did well at knowing when to step in and when to lay back and let us have our privacy in conversation.
Ambience, Food, Service was great."

"We went for Easter Sunday Brunch.... it was great!
The weather was nice so the bay windows were open which allowed a breeze to flow thru the resturant. There was a live band that played really good current songs in a jazz style. They even invited the kids that were in attendance up to play the percussion instruments.

"Our office group went for my birthday lunch. Everything we had was delicious: edamame croquettes, saigon rolls, salads, sliders, falafel, chicken pita and cashew chicken. If it sounds like a lot, it is! They have a three course lunch menu that offers a great variety of flavors. Everyone was equally pleased - yum!"

"Our party of four (2 couples) dined at Blu on a Saturday afternoon at 2:00 P.M. There was not much of a crowd at that time. Most were on the patio - we chose to stay inside out of the wind. The service was outstanding. We were very well attended by our waiter. The hostess was very accomodating (we moved from outside to inside prior to dining) After dining, since there was no crowd and no rush to leave, we were able to sit and visit for an extended period of time with no pressure from the waiter to leave. Had there been a crowd, we would not have done that, but were pleased we were allowed to loiter there for a while.
The food was good and presented well. We will go back again to try some different items on the menu."

"Having been here 20 times before, had to bring the in-laws that were visiting. Jessica took great care of us as usual. The brunch entertainment allowed my father in-law to use their conga drums. Food was delicious. Only critique was the hollandaise was a little lemony for my tastes but didn't prevent any of us from cleaning our plates. Manager was very nice to stop by."

"Many friends raved about Blu. We got together with some friends and tried it out. Our waiter was excellent. He knew the menu and beer list well and made honest suggestions. We ordered a French fry combo for an appetizer and some cocktails. The fries were awesome. The cocktails were watered down. I had the pan fried noodles with beef. The noodles were black on the edges and the beef slices were very dry. My husband's stir fry that was extremely hot (even for him) and the meat was dry. My friend's steak was ordered medium rare and was well done. The crab cake sliders were ok, but my friend couldn't eat the bread it was so dry. The waiter replaced my meal with Pad Thai (very good). The desserts tasted frozen. Lousy use of $200. So sad."

"Food was refreshing and light but filling. The service on the other hand was not the case. There were six tables filled, shared between two waiters but it took 25+ min. to rake our order. Waiter didn't seem familiar about about entree selections ( very important given the fact this was our first dining experience ) and at times somewhat rude."

"We went on Valentine's Day, and I couldn't get a 6pm reservation so I took a 5:30. when we arrived, there were only two other couples in the restaurant and we were shown to what we considered a rather uncongenial table near the street side. The hostess told us she couldn't possibly put us anywhere else because their planner had set up all the table assignments. They didn't get anywhere near busy in terms of table count until about 6:30.
The only difference between the main menu and the special prix fixe Valentine's special was the inclusion of sea bass on the prix fixe. We asked if we could arrange to order that anyway but were turned down "at the decision of the chef"."

"I had the Valentine's special, the appetizer (edamame dumpling) was very bland and the duck was something I could have prepared better. I spent $150 with no drinks and was not impressed at all, no plans to come back."
