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.

Trendy and modern late nite sushi – My boyfriend and I went to Blowfish on a Sunday night for some late night Sushi. We didn't book reservations ahead of time so when we got there, we had to wait ten minutes. Surprisingly, the scene was great and the vibe was young, modern and trendy. And this was on a Sunday night - I can only imagine what it's like at lunch or a regular weeknight! Great crowd of people and great food; the service was mediocre. Our waitress didn't tend to us very well. Other than that, it's a great place to... read more
Hip, urban sushi at its best I don't consider myself an urban hipster, but I have to admit that I love Blowfish. The sushi is extraordinarily good, but what really makes this restaurant stand out is its hipness. Anime movies play silently in the background, while funky lounge music plays in the background. Blowfish also has incredibly fun sake-based mixed drinks. Definitely a must-see.
Best sushi in town – If you want great sushi, yummy drinks, a trendy good-looking crowd atmosphere, then Blowfish is king! Another place that I've been to over ten times. I have yet to try anything bad; matter of fact, it's because of Blowfish that I've been so adventurous with sushi. Before Blowfish, I did Cali rolls, now I've tried at least seven different types of sushi because everything always tastes so good. Thank you Blowfish:-)
sushi = fresh fish? – I used to go to Blowfish all the time for lunch and dinner since I worked nearby. While I would give their rolls and appetizers (try the tartare) an A for taste and creativity, I've always been disappointed with their sushi. Read through the reviews and you'll realize I'm not the only one commenting on the freshness of the fish. Tack on the ridiculous prices this is a place for those who want to brag about loving sushi but know nothing about actually eating it.
Good sushi, very trendy atmosphere. – Get the Buddha Roll, which is delicious, and the Dynomite Roll, but only if you like spicy food. The unfiltered sake was very good, and even the plum wine didn't come off too sweet. The service was excellent. My only complaint was that the several screens showing anime became distracting and a little annoying after the novelty wore off.
loud fun and full of sushi – Great place to go when you leave the kids home and go out with a group of adults. Not a great place to chat, but the loud almost clublike atmosphere can be enjoyable with the right amount of drinks. The sushi is pretty good, but you're going here more for the atmosphere.
Excellent fish When you first walk in to Blowfish Sushi, you may fear that the atmosphere is way too hip for you to be there, and that may be true. Japanese anime lines the walls, and the sushi chefs are hot despite their oh-so-ironic trucker caps. The fish they serve up, however, is quite nice. When I visited, I would especially recommend their tuna, which was incredibly flavorful. The specialty cocktails were decent (even though I'm not one who usually cares for such things), and their dessert was fine (although I probably... read more
Don't go for the cocktails – On a Friday night out, your first cocktail is the best part of the night. We ordered two drinks at Blowfish, a special cocktail and a gimlet. The gimlet is all about the fresh lime juice and was sent out with old, dry limes, with brown edges. I went to the bar to get some fresh limes, but they were only using old limes probably cut a few days ago. This seemed to be the theme of the night. It was not very fresh, and for the price, you would expect fresh food, especially in a competitive restaurant... read more
Blowfish blows – When the bubble burst so did the blowfish. This ultra hip sushi joint is past its prime.
