I recently tried Blue Fin around 3:30pm for a late lunch. It wasn’t overly busy when we arrived, but it was definitely starting to pick up. The dining room has a nice vibe — modern, clean, and comfortable. It feels like a good spot for a casual date or catching up with friends. That said, the noise level builds quickly. Everyone was chatting, and you could easily overhear conversations without even trying.

Service was genuinely great. Our server checked in consistently for water refills, cleared plates quickly, and asked if we needed anything — but never felt overbearing. That balance is appreciated and made the experience smoother.

One thing worth noting: some menu prices are higher than you might expect, especially since Google lists the average around $20–$30 per person. For some of the higher-priced items, photos on the menu would really help set expectations. The portions do help justify the entrée pricing somewhat, but the overall bill — $110 for a late lunch for two — was honestly higher than expected.

We started with the spicy edamame. To make it spicy was a $2 upcharge, which felt unnecessary — most places offer regular, sea salt, or spicy at the base price. That rubbed me the wrong way.

For sushi, we ordered two pieces of unagi and two pieces of wagyu. The fish/meat to rice ratio was generous (see picture). The unagi sushi is something a sushi chef can’t really mess up — solid and as expected. The wagyu sushi, however, had a very intense char on top and was extremely fatty. Depending on your preference, that could be a plus or a bit overpowering.

The spicy beef rice bowl was a very large portion — honestly enough to split between two people. The onions had a nice crunch and weren’t soggy, which I appreciated. The beef is shaved rather than sliced, and you can’t choose how it’s cooked. The spice level was faint, should have spice level indicators on items like this. I did feel like the dish was missing another vegetable element that could have elevated it.

The chicken curry bento box came with a lot: two tempura shrimp, two deep-fried pork gyoza, one sweet potato tempura, sticky rice, and the curry chicken. The chicken was very tender. The curry had that strong, classic curry aroma and was well balanced in flavor. Nothing to rave about. Both meals came with miso soup and salad. The salad dressing wasn’t for me; I prefer something tangy, and this one tasted more like pan juices from cooked meat.

For dessert, we tried the vanilla crepe cake. It honestly tasted like tiramisu. If they offered a matcha version, that might have set it apart more. I wouldn’t order it again.

Overall, I’m glad we tried it and had the experience. The service and portion sizes stood out positively. However, for the price point, it’s not a “must-return” spot for me, and not somewhere I’d immediately recommend off the top of my head when people ask.

My sushi experience started at Bluefin, and it couldn’t have begun in a better place!
The flavors are delicious, authentic, and unique, and the presentation is absolutely stunning.
The staff is wonderful — they always make you feel special and their recommendations are always spot-on.
And let’s talk about those sushi boats… they’re simply spectacular!
Without a doubt, the best of the best.

My family and I had an excellent experience at Bluefin! The staff were patient and respectful. We waited a fair time for our food, it wasn’t too slow, but also wasn’t rushed. The food delicious as always, I would highly recommend the volcano, explosion, and spicy salmon rolls. I can’t wait to eat at Bluefin again!

This place was wicked good. The flavor of the sushi was bussin’ out of this wild world. 10/10 would recommend getting the sushi boat. It will take you across the metaphorical flavor oceans of the world and bring you into the flavor town harbor that even Guy Fieri would put his seal of approval down. The plum wine topped this wonderful experience, I probably shouldn’t drive but I feel like a million bucks. If you’re looking for mouthgasms and a place to take your wifey or side chick (or both) then you’ve found the coolest spot on this side of the Mississippi.

The steak is always delicious and fresh along with loving the teriyaki sauce with it! Sushi is always fresh as well! We love coming here! It’s a busy place but typically always able to find a table within a short wait or none at all. Love it here 🙂

Went here for NYE. We started with drinks which were delicious btw, I got the passionfruit martini and the Cherry blossom highball I’m a snob when it comes to sushi and maki and-usually keep things basic but I tried their Caribbean roll special. It was good but maybe would have been better w/a raw fish and avocado instead of the tempura. We also got the maki and nigiri combo. Highly suggest. They did put wasabi underneath the fish for the nigiri so if you’re not into that thing ask for it to be excluded. I loved the Latin flare too. I definitely would come back here!!

The lychee martini is perfection! Always a great experience. The small plates are fun to try and share between people. The ginger fried chicken was delicious and moist and the sushi is ALWAYS perfect! Love the yakisoba noodles with chicken. Service at the bar is on point. Highly recommend.
