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.

The Most Terrific Japanese Food – Ok, I am not a seafood fan and this was my second time at Blowfish. I had a blast. Excellent food and drinks... The service couldn't be better. All the wait staff were very knowledgeable about the menu and help me and my girlfriend order just the right things. The dessert was awesome! I love the music and art on the walls. The atmosphere was very nice and I had a great date for the second time. Highly recommended. Thanks Jen, Skippy and all the wait staff... I will come back!

Take it out – Can be overcrowded and noisy, but the music, anime and food make it a fun scene. Some unusal and tasty appetizers and sushi rolls. Not overpriced. Order take out and hang out at the bar taking in the scene and enjoy a saki cocktail while your order is prepared to go.

I'd rather be alive, thanks – I have to admit that I enjoy the atmosphere: noisy, fun, edgy, hip. But the food is absolutely awful. Tiny portions, certainly not always fresh, and most definitely overpriced. I know not to trust someone's taste in food if they say this is their favorite sushi restaurant. There aren't alot of good ones in the city, and this is certainly near the bottom of the fifteen or so I've tried.

People recommend this place for a reason – This place is a really great off the beaten path spot for a casual date, dinner with friends, parents, whatever... I love this place, their waitstaff is hot, food is great, ambiance is cool, it's always crowded and that should tell you something. I will have to say they can mix up the music a bit....It's no fine dining but what you see is what you get here. Casual, fun, and lot's to look at and enjoy. If your curious about somewhere to go for sushi thats cool and has good service, g... read more

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!
