Blowfish Sushi

4.1

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 Food Great Price – A group of us went to Blowfish and had a great dinner. We ordered a ton of food, service was great, and when we got the bill, we were suprised that it was such a great price. I would highly recommend the filet mignon appetizer, and would not recommend the cucumber cocktail (tasted like dirty spa water). Overall the sushi was good, but nothing amazing that stood out. Ambiance was great, and overall we were very impressed.

Great for out-of-town guests! – Every time I drive by Blowfish it is packed so I finally stopped in to try it out. Since, I've been there three times (in the past two months!). The food is really great and the staff has been upbeat and friendly. I think it's a cool place and it's a guaranteed hit if you take someone there who is visiting from out of town!

don't even try it – I don't consider myself a sushi expert but I found this place very disappointing. I expected a new twist, and new flavors in the food at this place, but instead I was let down horribly. This place is all hype. The sushi portions were way small, and the flavors, well how can you really taste anything when the things you're eatting are so small. Don't get me started on the sake. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Pretty Damn Good Sushi – The atmosphere is what most appeals to me about Blowfish. The environment is really exciting and energetic. Hip without being unpleasantly trendy in my estimation. The fish is pretty damn good, but I enjoy the setting even more. The service is on and off, some of the waitresses could really stand to learn a thing or two, but all in all I've had reasonable service at Blowfish. Probably not the best Sushi restaurant in San Francisco, but currently my favorite. I eat there several times a month and am a... read more

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.
