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.

aligoto – I just love this restaurant that good food, good service.I do not understand someone who complaint about sushi. I am assuming that these people are always complaint anyway.(What is shiro maguro?) (What is traditional sushi?)people I think this restaurant doing traditional nigiri sushi. Good to know if you are sushi fans.
what's up? – One of the best parts of going out to have sushi at a "Sushi Bar", is the interaction you have with the Sushi Chef. At Blowfish they have removed this important elimate. Why? This was my first and most likely last time I will go to Blowfish, most everything we had was good, but there were a couple of items that seemed to lack a certain amount of freshness.
Sushi to blow for – I am revising an earlier (negative) review. As before the manga cartoons (e.g. a beloved still from Totoro), decor, cocktails, trendiness, and atmosphere are fun. Service is decent and people-watching is great. Why update? Reason #1: sushi much improved. More attention to detail. Better rice. #2? Believe it or not, for lunch Blowfish is actually an excellent value. The bento box kicks. Just did a biz lunch for 3 for $36 incl. tax@tip. Prices were high once, but I don't think they've raised them in 5 years... read more
Hip restaurant with good service – The hostess & waitress were nice and attentive for a hip restaurant. Sushi was ok, but the mix drink ($7 and it's small) and appetisers ($10+) were very good. Little pricy but I think you have to pay for the atomosphere.
thomasz13 – I got around to trying Blowfish a few nights back with a friend. It is just down the street; and I had never checked it out. Wow, I've truely been missing out! The maki and nigiri were amazing. We ordered a ritsu roll, a smoked delight, a fried ebi roll, and their veggie roll, as well as uni, hamachi and maguro. Yummersszzz -- Everything was fresh. The appetizers were a stadout as well. My friend ate the fire oysters in entirety, after claiming to hate oysters. I wanted them...The pesto and cheese make them truel... read more
SAVORY – We came in for dinner on a busy weekend with no reservations, the hostess directed us to the bar, where we had cocktails, and eventually decided to eat dinner. The bartenders were great and recommended everything we ordered. Try the bincyo tataki, it is to die for. ha ha.
Unbelievably Bad – I've never been to a sushi restaurant where the sushi chefs don't take your order let alone don't talk to you. Ordered our sushi from the waitress and it took over 20 minutes for our 5 nigri orders. And it wasn't like it was busy. The sushi chefs were just hanging out chatting...just like the wait staff. The sushi was not fresh and the service from the sushi staff was even worse. Probably the worse sushi experience I've ever had in San Francisco.
Hipster Sushi – Finally got over to Blowfish sushi for a dinner and came away impressed. Cute little dining room decorated with Japanese anime cels and techno music make for a great environment. Service was good and the waitstaff very attractive. Menu was ecclectic, particularly for the appetizers. I had the filet mignon over spinach and the screaming shrimp, both tasty and well-presented. A couple of sake-kamikazes completed a nice evening. Overall an interesting spot with very good food, worth the trip....
Great – My husband and I went here for our first wedding anniversary on a recommendation from a friend of a friend. It was great. The staff was nice, one of the guys at the bar prepared one of his special rolls for us, fantastic. Highly recommend this sushi bar. Fresh fish and great drinks.
