Blowfish Sushi

About this business

Japanese puffer-fish, sometimes fatal if swallowed, is not served here, despite the implication. But you can get its American relative, as well as every other sushi variety you have ever seen and some you have not. Fish combinations and unorthodox ingredients such as mango turn up in sushi to match the hip, edgy decor, red velvet wallpaper and non-stop Japanese hip music.

Blowfish wins Japanese stamp of approval – I have eaten at Blowfish numerous times the last few years, and always have a good time and eat wonderful sushi! Blowfish is not traditional sushi, which I also enjoy eating, and experienced first hand while living in Japan, but nonetheless the food is delicious. In fact, I have brought many visiting friends from Japan to Blowfish to eat, who consistantly love the restaurant, and leave with a Blowfish tee-shirt in hand. I believe that is a good sign!

alternative restaurant, good sushi – Been here once. It was very crowded. Reservations are recommended. Japanese anime playing on the television screens... The sushi was really good...however, i feel a bit overpriced.

I love this place – I have eaten sushi all over the city and this place continues to impress me. The sushi is always fresh and the service is usually friendly. This place can get a little crazy on the weekends but it's definitely worth the wait. The sake cocktails are great too!!! Can get a little expensive but ends up being worth it in the end. This place and Ebisu are the places to go for sushi in San Francisco.

Don't go for the food... – VERY dissapointed! Not only was the sushi mediocre, but the service was awful! I guess since I left my Gucci handbag at home, I didn't quite fit in. It your into this kind of scene, then this is the place for you. If you actually want to enjoy the food, go to Hamano, which is just down the way in Noe Valley.

Like something out of Sex and the City! – I feel like I'm in an episode of Sex and the City whenever I go to Blowfish. Very trendy, very Manhattan! No flip-flops, Old Navy or picky eaters allowed. Never go without reservations and try their saki martinis!

Gone Downhill... – This place started out great but has really fallen off over the last couple years. Service was very slow, and kitchen pacing was terrible. The restaurant wasn't busy and we still waited 20-30 in between items being brought out. And the food wasn't even as good as it was before. Sorry, never again!

Dynamite "Disco" Sushi! – While Blowfish serves sushi, I would not recommend it for that. The fish is fresh, but far too expensive. Nonetheless, Blowfish is a must visit as a pioneer of what I jerkily refer to as "Disco Sushi." More politely known as fusion sushi, it's a modern take on an old form. At this, Blowfish has no equal. The appetizers are unique and superb. Don't miss "The Punch," a mouth watering steak and spinach number. The various rolls from Super Dynamite(deep fried roll with hot sauce) to Maui Maki(tuna, m... read more

rest in peace in sushi – Sushi to die for, how about die for calling this sushi. This place served me mashed potatoes with sushi. MASHED POTATOES. What kind of thing is that?! Please don't call it Californian fusion because that it was not. It was more like hometown buffet meets Mr. Chow. Well, maybe that's going a little over board. The sushi was okay. It was fresh, tasty, and pleasing to the eye. But served with mashed potatoes - good grief. Nice atomosphere does the place well for newbies to sushi as does the menu. This i... read more

All Pomp, no circumstance – Good place if you're new to sushi. I'm amazed at how many newbies love this place. Must be the atmosphere, crazy roll names, or funny shapes they stack them into. This food is mediocre at best. Which is bad considering the prices. If you're stuck going here I reccomend the cooked rolls.
