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.

Great ambience and good sushi – Blowfish is tucked away in the Potrero district behind warehouses and lonely streets, so it's easy enough to find parking. The decor is very funky, walls filled with animation and wooden tables cast under a red/orange glow. The mango mojitos are to die for, but the sushi is not spectacular especially for the price. It's just good, solid sushi. Come for the ambiance and drinks. Be aware that even with reservations, the wait can be really long.
Blown away in a good way – If you have party attitude in you, this is the place to go! Now if I can only hear the manga being played in the big screen.....
Over-rated sushi joint – I recently visited Blowfish Sushi for the first time after hearing rave reviews for years and years... The truth, this place SUCKED! Since this is a review, I have to give my honest opinion & I wasn't at all impressed by this over-priced, delicacy-deficient, pretentious establishment. I went with three other people & our bill was over $170!! For crap food. I would never recommend this place to a friend. (Well maybe I would recommend avoiding).
All flavor, ? the substance – Great place to go for a good evening and interesting sushi. However, if you like tasting the fish in your rolls, you will find that it is often overpowered by the sauces.
Sushi to Gag For – Great staff, awesome sake cocktails, somewhat hip atmosphere but that's about it. Don't believe the hype...unless your idea of sushi is lots of rice, some raw fish and anything else goes as long as it sounds cool and funky. Most of the menu looks good on paper but the food is disappointing to the palette. The Pyramid of Tartar was all avocado and hardly any tartar and the accompanying potato chips totally sucked. The sashimi was fresh but that's standard for any decent sushi resteraunt. The terrible spicy ... read more
Good sushi, top-notch service – It's pretty tough to find the superlative sushi place in a city just teeming with great places. But Blowfish is definitely good, a little on the pricey side, but good variety and quality. The service, however, is fantastic. I put my arm in my spicy tuna and got sauce all over my shirt. Immediately, without my even asking, there was a glass of club soda and a rag at my elbow. It's the little things.
Top quality – Great sushi and I didn't think the prices were any higher than any other sushi restaurant. Sushi is generally expensive and this place didn't seem any higher priced than others. The surprise was the wait. It's a good idea to make a reservation all of the time. They are even busy on Monday and Tuesday nights.
