I come to this sushi restaurant with my wife and two good friends from out of town. When we arrived there is wait for table inside but they offer us sit outside right away, which we take. It was nice evening so outside was perfect. Right away, we are greeted by very friendly waiter Deon and he make us feel welcome and laugh many times during dinner. He took care of us really well like we are friends. Service like this you don’t find everywhere. We order some appetizers and drinks all come fast and very tasty. Then comes the main food and wow it is much better than we even expect. Fresh and full of flavor. We sit for long time, enjoy food, laugh, and relax. No rush, very comfortable feeling. Overall, this was wonderful evening for us.

Should have known when our waitress couldn’t even understand a simple drink order. We ordered two apps, a bento box which included soup and salad. Mind you we were at a table for two that barely had room for the candle, 2 glasses is water and the soy sauce bottle. So she brought our first app (edamame) which with its extra used pod bowel took up the rest of the table. After a few minuets she was standing next to us with the bento box. I asked her where our other appetizer was and where the salad and soup that goes before the bento box and where are we going to put this on the table because there wasn’t a square inch of room left at that time. She looked at me like I was from Mars no idea what I was talking about. I asked her to please take it back and get me a manager. So a very nice tiny, cute Asian restaurant appropriate manager came to visit us and while I start explaining the situation, the waitress comes back with two large bowls of fried rice that goes with our bento box I probably inappropriately went crazy asking for my check and saying I just would like to go please The manager insisted that we stay was very touchy, feeling with both myself and my wife, and begged us to say and said she would TAKE CARE IF EVERYTHING IF WE STAYED and she would take care of us the rest of the evening. So I was embarrassed into not leaving and the rest of the meal went fine. The food was mediocre and at the end of the evening we got a bill for ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of what we ordered. Thank you nice lady for taking care of everything (NOT)

I have such a hard time finding good sushi when I'm traveling in different states, but Blufish did not disappoint!! I ordered two rolls for takeout and the quality of the fish is great. This will be my go to spot while I'm in the area!

I am really really upset. This is a expensive restaurant so I was not expecting this kind of service at all. hat happened? This is my 4th time here, we went for my birthday. Every single time we went here the service was amazing that is why we kept going back. If the food is so expensive shouldn't be the service be good too? First weird red flag was he left right when we ordered our appetizer. We assumed maybe because some people order appetizers first then entrees, but typically servers ask first, because I was literally speaking as he walked away. Then after he brought our appetizers he left again. He was gone for a long time I finally caught another server and asked to order our entrees he was gone for like 20-30 min. Then he brought us our entress, didnt even ask for drink refills, no tea refills, we needed napkins, there were no napkins brought and we needed forks, I htate always having to ask for multiple things but typically waiters bring it themselves or ask if we need anything. I was confused why we had this kind of service. We had to ask the manager to bring us to go boxes and a dessert menu. The funniest part is when he brought over the check that is when he had the fakest smile and said thank you very much, obviously he did that so we could leave him a big tip lol. Just upset at this experience and sad.

Visited Blufish and absolutely loved it! The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious — every roll was packed with flavor. The place itself is cozy, stylish, and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back!

Solid lunch specials that were delicious and well-priced. I was pleasantly surprised at the portion sizes too.

We ended up coming here two nights in a row because everything was that good. The apps were out of this world. First night I ordered sushi and a few small plates, and the second night we came back just to split a bunch of apps because we couldn’t stop thinking about them.

The crispy rice with spicy tuna was probably my favorite — crispy, spicy, and perfect. The asparagus wrapped in beef was so flavorful, and even the edamame was super fresh and addictive.

I got the Dirty Old Man and Crazy Dragon rolls — both had amazing texture (I love a good crunch) and hit every note. And the lychee martini was dangerously good.

The whole experience both nights was amazing — great flavors, great vibes, everything came out fresh and fast. Adding pics too because words aren’t enough.
