blufin sushi & izakaya Bar, Vegan & Grill

They have such amazing food and amazing customer service! My go to roll is the red dragon roll and it never disappoints! We always call ahead so it's ready to pick up when we get there. It's delicious every time and we have never had a problem in any way. Staff is always friendly and welcoming.

Excellent creative sushi rolls and quality nagiri, close to Saint Agnes Hospital. Ramen and signature fried rice were also yummy. Relaxing, clean atmosphere.

Website states Blue Fin opens at 11am. At 11:47 the doors finally opened. There was only 1staff present, the place was cold. We sat down and our table was next to a stained, dirty curtain and the squeeze bottle condiments were open and sticky. We left!!

This is our favorite place in Fresno! The Waka Waka roll and Tonkotsu Ramen are a must!
Bonus Tip: the perfect Ramen combo is Tonkotsu broth, spicy garlic, egg noodle, pork, butter, spicy bean sprouts, corn, and add the egg. 👌

I have no idea how this place has 3+ stars. I will start with the positives. The service is good and the lady who waited on us was attentive and accommodating, making sure that we had what we needed (once we had to hail her as we needed more iced tea). As far as the food goes, very bad. I say this having extensive experience with Japanese food as I was born and raised in Japan. Blue Fin similar to another Japanese Restaurant I reviewed, has poor sushi chefs and old fish. The sushi was bordering on inedible. I ordered the Salmon Skin Roll and the salmon skin was not crispy but overly oily with no seasoning so it tasted like flavorless fish jerky. The soy sauce was watered down and did not have the umami expected in it. This was one of the times when I did not finish my food as I was afraid the fish was not only not fresh but over it's due date. I was here with 2 other co-workers and they didn't seem to notice how bad it was but once I recommended a local Japanese Restaurant and they had the chance to taste what a good Japanese Restaurant was, they were floored. I guess you just don't know what you don't know but know this, Blue Fin is one of the worst Japanese Restaurants ever. I don't typically review everywhere I eat and I hadn't reviewed my favorite Japanese Restaurants until I went to 2 others that compelled me to write the reviews. My recommendation would be to hire people who know how to Sushi Chef. Being a Sushi Chef is an art and takes many years of training and revered in Japan. You can't just hire anybody and expect a good outcome. Sorry I had to be so negative but wanted to get my experience out there.

It was my first time trying sushi, so I don't have anything else to compare it to. But I ordered the LA Sushi rolls and it was so good. I really enjoyed it. The staff is very friendly and checked up on us a few times. Will definitely be coming back.

This is a great sushi place, probably the best in Fresno and probably the best I've been to, period. Service and atmosphere are both amazing, but the food --mwah!!! So delicious. If you're looking for a place worth spending your money, this is it. And their options are expansive: the rolls themselves even are great for vegans and vegetarians, to people who just aren't super into fish. And the beef teriyaki bowl had tons of beef, which was perfectly cooked and had a slight smokiness with a fall-apart-in-your-mouth texture. It's always good, but the images below depict this restaurant at their best. We got the Beef Teriyaki bowl (comes with rice, beef and a bit of salad) and the Scooby Doo Roll, and the Ola Scallops and the Shrimplicious rolls. Every roll is so unique and so delicious. It's genuinely some of the best sushi ever.

Dietary restrictions: I am very sensitive to gluten (celiac disease) and I have never gotten sick here. Great gluten free menu.

Kid-friendliness: Expansive options for picky eaters up to and through foodies

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp in front of another restaurant, short distance from the storefront itself.

MUST TRY for vegans!!! Drove through Fresno on the way back from Yosemite and stopped here for lunch. The server was so incredibly kind, and I felt so blessed to have an entire vegan menu to select from! They really care about the customer experience as well.
