Blue Taleh

This site is my first choice site. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this place. Whenever I feel like having a delicious lunch, this restaurant comes immediately to my mind. excellent and varied food and a large list of dishes.great team, and pleasant atmosphere. Also important, the bill is modest. I praise this place with pleasure.

Sushi was good, as well as the tempura and Thai rolls, but do NOT order the chicken satay, if you can even really call it that. There was no seasoning on the chicken besides maybe some salt and pepper, and the peanut sauce was really oily. I also had to wait an extra 30 minutes after arriving at the restaurant for my order to be ready, but I am mostly disappointed in the fact that a Thai restaurant would serve such bland chicken satay. I dont think I can give this place a second chance, but if you do, DO NOT order the chicken satay

This place is nice and broad, the meals was enchanting and the prices were very fair. rapidly, efficient service and very friendly waiters. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful time! Delicious food, safe atmosphere and great staff! I wish I could remember our servers name, she was extremely personable and attentive. Thank you!

This is a great restaurant. The sushi here is great with a lot of different rolls and the specials are always delicious. There are also a lot of other dishes and the Thai curries or fried rice are delicious. There can be limited seating but I have never waited more than 10 minutes for a seat and can always have one of their great cocktails while I waited.

Two days ago was the first time we went to this place. But It is definitely not the last time. We had a good time with the courteous service, with the finest cuisine and fine drinks and with the friendly payment. We will surely return there soon.

Fantastic and fresh food, I like the character this place has, and the cashiers were very welcoming. I will surely eat here again.

Love the pad thai. Didnt get one star because i asked for ectra peanut sauce and it wasnt in bag.

The best Asian cuisine anywhere sushi is the topps. Great owners, clean, the best drinks

Maki rolls + produce are always fresh. Staff were very busy yet accommodating. At night, lighting may be too dark for older adults with vision problems, but I found the ambiance chic. Affordable and decent portion sizes. I strongly recommend getting a reservation, especially weekend nights. Worth it to try at least once.

Food was great. But went there at 530 pm on a Saturday and they reserved every table! The restaurant was empty and they wouldnt seat us. They should really reserve a couple of tables for walk ins. But we sat at the bar which was fine. We ordered there and had a great meal.

Really nice place we dinned outside the food was great and our waitress was very nice

Went up to Lowell for the first time in a while and of course chose to dine at Blue Taleh which was exactly how I remember. It is one of the best restaurants in Lowell hands down. The tuna tostadas are the best thing on the menu, I have yet to find anything that compares down in Boston.

Thai/sushi restaurant with excellent food and cocktails. Outdoor seating along canal during summer. Convenient to Lowell Memorial auditorium and Lowell summer music series. A personal favorite.

Good food, strong drinks, even accommodated our little daughter, who came with us on Valentines Day! Wish their dinner plate portions were a tad bigger. Sushi tastes fresh and on point.

We had a wonderful in this restaurant. We enjoyed the excellent ambience and the food. The staff members are super affable. I am glad we finally managed to visit this restaurant.

Not only is it a two minute walk from my apartment but the service was super fast when I ordered takeout. Our curry was nice and spicy and came in huge portions. My partner reported that her sushi was great as well.

Great food & experience during COVID

Great meal, service and outside dining experience

Classy environment, well prepared dishes, good prices. Took a star away for exceptionally slow service, but they were courteous and polite to interact with when a server was to be found.

Best Thai food I’ve ever had! Great staff, service, atmosphere and cocktails. A MUST try!

Decent prices. Delicious. Personal favorite is the unagi sushi

Best sushi around lowell hands down. you are paying for quality and quantity, dont worry people. david, the fall black haired kid is the most friendly and hard working guy. the two sushi chefs always prepare the food with passion and care, along with the deep bar options and the great kitchen. i would recommend the spicy noodle soup and the pad see ew.

Just had another excellent meal. My wife and I love this place. Great food, good attentive staff, nice atmosphere.

We were in town from South Carolina. My daughter enjoyed the food and dining experience so much that she wants to come back to Mass just to dine with You all again. The Bento box was delicious, colorful, and FULL of flavor!!

Food was great as always, but we had a new server who seemed a little overwhelmed. We did manage to get out before our 2yr old melted down though, so thats something!

We got drawn in by the words Japanese and Thai cuisine and Sushi. The second door is a little jammed in place so it needs a hard tug to open.After being seated, we got our drinks and food rather quickly. We got the bento boxes so we started with Miso soup. From what we had, we were very impressed (and stomachs very full) with Blue Taleh.For a town as small as Lowell, we did not expect this sort of quality. The Miso soup, the sushi, the pad Thai, the satay, and the tempura impressed us with their portion size and flavour.If you are into all the food we listed in this review, and dont mind if the servers are a little cold in manner, this is your destination.

Beuatifull location in hostoric town. Nice outside terras. Good food reasonable price.

Slow service. Too much on the menu. Better to have fewer options but do them well

This spot never fails to deliver. They have excellent dishes for convenient pricing, there no long wait even when they are full.

Great place; vibrant and friendly.

Ive been going to Blue Taleh for about three years and have always been pleased. When friends are visiting in Lowell and you are showing the city off this is a great place.

One of my top places to go in Lowell. More of an upscale vibe here that is well complimented by live piano on certain nights. Ample menu selections have something for everyone, and prices are pretty fair. Sushi was also pretty good. Favorite dishes are the Thai panang and massaman curries.

Consistently excellent! Creative, flavourful Thai & Japanese food. Good service, seafood, curry, coffee, dessert. When visiting downtown Lowell, this is the place to go. Lovely atmosphere, fine dining.

Curry was very low quality, vegetables were barely cooked and the meat was dry.Service was fast, but a place does not deserve a good rating for fast bad food.edit: I was going to be upset at the price but I suppose if I enjoyed the dish that was served, it would have been worth the price.

Blue Taleh looks like a nice restaurant for ambience and a date. My wife enjoys the curry, and I usually get Thai noodles. There are better restaurants for Thai. The spicy chicken peanut sauce isnt remotely spicy.

I have never waited so long for sushi and a cup of coffee. Very busy place...do not think you are getting in and out quickly... to be fair the food is good

Great place. Great food

I only go there for fried ice cream. Lots of people seem to judge alot by your looks. Its a fancy place, wear a full on 1940s gangster suit if you have to.

I love this place, Is my second time going there and everything is amazing. Server was great, food was great environment was amazing just right for a date. They had someone singing and playing the piano

First let me start by saying the restaurant is majestically sitting in downtown Lowell. The vibe is good; however, my boyfriend and me visited this restaurant Saturday night and the service was terrible. We were assigned a server who seemed lost in her mental world and who clearly didn’t understand what was asked of her. She failed to seek understanding and proceeded to do what she thought we ordered. One, it’s unlikely a Thai restaurant doesn’t have fish oil or Thai chilies. But the server claimed they didn’t at first. Then she said they did. After waiting for 30minutes to get the hot Thai peppers we requested with the fish sauce, another server appeared and told us clearly the restaurant didn’t have any of what we requested. Then another server showed up asked if we were ready to leave which was mind boggling because we were just served our food. We proceeded to ask her for the Thai chilies and fish sauce for the third time. She then brought the lemons and fish sauce but no chilies. We waited again for another 15 minutes. As another server pass by we inquired about the chilies. She finally brought them but at this point my boyfriend was tired of waiting and had already ate all his food. At no point did our server came to inquire how our meal was and how we were doing. I run a business and work with customers every day. I will request management re-trains all his staff so they can provide excellent service to everyone that walks in their doors. Customer service in this establishment is extremely unprofessional and rude.

Decent meal with good service. Japanese and thai are an interesting combo each done with mediocrity.

The food is great. One of my favorite sushi places in the area. If you go on a night with live music just know that it will be really loud.

Had 7 people in our party for lunch and they had no problem seating us right away. Our server was quick to take our order and remained attentive.We all got a variety of dishes and everyone was really happy with their selections. Vegetables and sushi were fresh. I really like their tempura sweet potato roll. A couple of people also got the bento boxes, and one person,the crazy noodles. None of us left anything on our plate.Parking can be a little difficult to find in this area at times. We work nearby, so were able to walk. They also have a few tables outside next to the canal.

The food here is so good! Ive been going for years. Great location as well.

Delicious food, friendly staff who were very well informed about celiac options and the piano music was just lovely.

I will preface this by saying my past experience at Blue Taleh was good. But my experience today was bad enough that I felt I needed to review it, and most likely will not frequent this restaurant anymore. My boyfriend and I arrived at 12:25 and sat at the bar. The restaurant was quiet with only one other person at the bar when we walked in. We ordered crab ragoons and two bento lunch boxes. My miso soup had no pieces of tofu in it, which isn’t a big deal but then our crab ragoons came out frozen in the center. We sent them back, the waitress didn’t apologize and brought them back out, this time overdone. We asked the waitress and she said she refried the same ones we had sent back. Our bento boxes didn’t come out until 1:10, at this point we have to put in more money for our parking meter and we are sitting at the bar hungry. Clearly we should have ordered alcoholic beverages.. to top off the whole experience, the waitress charged us for the crab ragoons we didn’t eat and didn’t check in with us about our experience. Very disappointed in our dining experience

Love the live music on the weekend and tasty entrées. We have been here before and usually dine-in. Service has improved over the past year, so I have to give an extra star for that!

Never a bad dinner choice!

The food and atmosphere are fantastic. It is a bit loud, and the live music is very loud. But it does not distract from the fantastic food.

Lovely restaurant, had a delicious meal. Four of us at table, each meal very different but also very good. Selfishly would have liked a menu with some pictures since I was not familiar with the cuisine.

This place was great. Staff was great. Food was awesome especially the Sashimi it was fresh and tasty. And their desert fried banana with ice cream was awesome

Been coming here for years, and while the food is still quite good, the service and atmosphere are getting stale. If youre patient and insist on fixing any mistakes with your order, you wont be disappointed. But better local options are right around the corner.

My favorite sushi and martini bar. Try the candy apple martini!

For lunch, food selection is good. Food is very consistent and good.

Ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and it was very tasty! Fresh sushi and the chicken and noodles were incredible. Martini was a little strong bit still tasted good. Decent pricing and quiet lunch atmosphere. Will visit again soon.

Have lived in Lowell for four years now and first time visiting Blue Taleh. My wife and I have pretty much visited all the Asian restaurants in Lowell and Chelmsford and this one is now my favorite. The food, service, ambience everything was just way I like it. My only regret was I waited so long to go :-)

Lovely al fresco dining by one of the Lowell canals. Pad Thai. Sushi. Wine. Good service too. Be sure to try Blue Taleh in summer, or on a warm spring or autumn day. There is nothing quite like enjoying sushi and wine outdoors beside a waterway. The restaurant is only a short walk from events at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium or plays at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre, so you can plan to dine at Blue Taleh before or after your show. However - make a reservation well ahead of time if you want a table before a popular show!!

Great food and service.

There is a wide selection of fresh and delicious sushi. The drinks are refreshing with many exotic options. Great atmosphere. A bit pricey, but worth it. I definitely recommend this place.

Great vegetarian selection and highly customizable. Service was great even though we were in a big group. The desserts are to die for. Since we were a large group we landed up trying a spoon of everything. For the entree we had ordered Tamarind sauce (it is not just a sauce! ), Sweet and sour sauce (this neither!) and pineapple...

Sushi was fresh and delicious!!

Best Crab raggons

The food here is pretty good, but the price is a bit much. Some waiters are very nice while others are very rude.

Good atmosphere and vibe

Worst customer service. Have never felt more uncomfortable. Didnt even stay long enough to eat there. Would rather starve.

Nicely modelled clean restaurant. Good sushi and great Thai dishes. Great service.

Good place to catch some tunes and a fancy drink.

We were only in Lowell for one evening to see a show at the wonderful Merrimack Theater. We saw this restaurant in walking distance and gave it a try. An Asian fusion place, the food was delicious and the bar very lively.

I terms of sushi, had better, especially with regard to Maki. Place is cozy and our server was nice. But hostess refused us the table we wanted -at 5.00PM- on account that other people might want it. There were only 2 tables occupied in the restaurant, and no other guests came in while we were there.

Great experience at the bar! Attentive service, great martini selection and very tasty appetizers!!

Best pad Thai around!!

One of our favorite places for a special occasion. Great sushi and drinks.

Good food.

Extremely overpriced, mediocre service, and the food was just okay. Honestly, save your money and go to Yujos in dracut because at least the drinks are bomb and the sushi is half priced on Sunday and Wednesday. Actually, any other place in lowell would be a better option.

The double crispy chicken. You will thank me.

The Thai iced tea is insanely over priced. As is the rest of their food. The food is good, but its easier to find better quality and quantity Thai food and sushi at my h better prices. The services is fine and the decor is awesome.

This is our favorite restaurant in Lowell! Exceptional sushi and atmosphere!!!

The staff is extremely rude. We were a party of five, ordered several appetizers, entrees, and drinks. They originally put us at a tiny four-top on the outside patio and pulled a 5th chair over to the corner of the table and told us that they couldnt push two tables together. This was at 4:30pm and nobody else was on the patio except for us. The menus for five of us didnt even fit on the table so we eventually got our server to push two of these small tables together for us which we were appreciative of.Immediately following paying our bill, we were asked if we were going to be there a while because they had someone waiting for the table. At this point, we had been there for a little over an hour which for five people having apps, dinner, and a casual outside dining experience is not overstaying our welcome. When we left, there were 3 other empty tables that they could have pushed together if another large party was waiting. Which I find interesting to begin with considering we had to beg to put tables together when we got there?We are a group of co-workers who traveled into the area from different parts of the country and dont get to see each other often so we stayed for about 20 minutes after we were essentially asked to leave and then got dirty looks from the girl hostessing every time she sat another table or made a pass thru the area.Food is mediocre, customer service is terrible, two of the five of us are local the area and we definitely wont be going back or recommending anyone we know to go there.

Great atmosphere delicious food and friendly staff. I will definitely be back and will recommend this place to my friends.

Best Food....Great drinks!!

Excellent sushi and pad Thai and great house cocktails... especially on the nights that Ralph Funaro is playing at the piano! A GREAT night out!

All in all its good. Nice staff and nice spot

Great vegetarian selection and highly customizable. Service was great even though we were in a big group. The desserts are to die for. Since we were a large group we landed up trying a spoon of everything. For the entree we had ordered Tamarind sauce (it is not just a sauce! ), Sweet and sour sauce (this neither!) and pineapple...

A few friends and I stumbled into this bar after a show at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre. We were hoping for a few after dinner cocktails, and Talehs delivered, and with the fanfare of a few hysterical servers.The vibe was relaxed (we sat outside, right next to the water), the roving accordion player was great (in an old-timey movie sort of way), and the drinks were exactly what we wanted. If you want somewhere fun to go in Lowell, check this place out!

Amazing drinks (I highly recommend the Hendricks blossom) ... and extremely fresh creative sushi. My husband and I sat at the bar and watched the chefs work their magic. Love this place!

Must try the chicken coconut soup. It never disappoints.

Been ordering here for awhile now its a great place and they have great food I recommend the smoked salmon sushi with the gyoza its a great combo

Excellent food, nice ambience, good service. They have live entertainment even on weekdays. Cant wait to go back. Great variety on their menu.

Really good food. Sushi rolls are always very fresh, and I really like the atmosphere. They have music on the weekends, so it is great for a date night. Highly recommend.

Quality Pad Thai & Sushi, always has me coming back! gluten free friendly!

We heard good things about this place, couldnt wait to go. First we sat in the bar area and waited 15 minutes before someone took our drink order. Then we moved to an outside table, waitress walked by 5 times, never said a word to us. She Waited on tables both sides of us, never looked at us or said be right with you, nothing. So after 20 minutes we got up and left. No one noticed, no one seemed to care.

Stopped by for late-ish lunch, and was seated immediately. No-fuss service. Had the bento box lunch. Good food, reasonable price.

Nice canal side place

AWFUL food and services. I wish I can give it no stars. I worked at a Japanese Restaurants for 3 years so I know what is fresh fish and what is sushi that has been sitting in the refrigerator for a long time. For the price that was charged, I was expecting at least a decent quality of sushi, but unfortunately, the sashimi we got was simply inedible and awful. When we brought this to the waitress attention, asking her to maybe swap it out and give us something else, she said no. When we ask for the manager, the manager starts the conversation by bringing in the sushi chef and stated that the sushi chef have 15 years of experience and that I only have three, so I am a liar. it was unbelievable the attitude they show to the customers. You can say I will never go back to this place. And I highly advise anyone to not go to this place.

I was there a couple of years ago and it was good then but I wasnt as pleased this time. The chicken was very dry.

Fun, intimate atmosphere often including tasteful, live, background music. Great drinks. Delicious, fresh food. Good service.

Good sushi. Nice atmosphere.

There is a Pakistani lady who works there and was super rude to us when we asked the PadThai be remade since it was too sweet, she refused and asked us to order additionally and pay for it. Ive already complained with Better Business Bureau and will make sure they dont treat other customers this way.It was a Sunday morning during Lowell Folk Festival, they did not have their chef on job. They asked someone to quickly whip up and when we complained that it tastes very different compared to previous times here.Make money but keep the customer happy too. Remove that stuck up Pakistani lady who works there or she will bring your business down for sure.

Never been there to eat heard it was a great place and the food is awsome too I know the owner of the place very nice person
