Have had dinner here now many times and now one of my favorite places to come to dine and take folks for dinner... Food and service are good. Nice décor and located in the heart of Times Square area! Blue Fin is part of Landry's Select Restaurants (ever since BR Guest and Landry's combined) so... you get points for eating here! YAY!

Cocktails: they have a full bar... and specialty cocktails...so choose your fancy... Appetizers: Crab cakes are delish- small but good (there are 2) Bang bang rock shrimp - good to share Tuna tacos - comes in 3 are good Entrees we had here: Plenty of other entrees to select from - sushi, seafood, and all but I always go with the.... Miso glazed chilean sea bass - my staple which I highly recommend to everyone and I have not steered anyone wrong! Esp since they crispy rice to the white rice... simple is good. Love, love, love it!!! Try it! Desserts are ok...Tried several of them...creme brulee (was ok), choc diva cake (bit heavy) read more

My first restaurant visit in New York City in a long time! Right outside of many of the Broadway theaters. We had a reservation and we were able to get in very easily around at dinner time. Service was excellent the entire time! We ordered a lot of sushi as well as some of the side dishes. Everything was top notch! Definitely would return for a very nice dinner. We didn't drink much but if you want, they have quite the selection! I just recommend all of the side dishes. They were just excellent! read more

We arrived for our stay at the W on Tuesday, 5/22/26. We arrived in the early evening and decided to have dinner here. Fast forward to the middle of the same evening/early morning my daughter is throwing up and has not stopped having intestinal problems as well and it's now Thursday evening. We all ate the same thing except she had 2 pieces of Nigiri. She's the only one who got sick, trip has been ruined, she's has not left the hotel room. Highly recommend staying at the W, DO NOT eat at Blue Fin. read more

A seafood, sushi restaurant that knows how to cook a good steak as well. Wow. What a wonderful dinner we surprisingly had at Bluefin. "Surprisingly", I say because it was a last minute dinner choice heading into New York 30 minutes before their closing. Located inside W Hotel in Time Square, we had a late arrival and simply wanted to catch a bite before heading to bed. Even though they were close to closing, Blue Fin was graciously so accommodating. Per our waiter's recommendation, I ordered their Sea-bass. Amazing. But what also stood out to me was their ribeye and wagyu. Simply cooked to perfection (even if it was perhaps their last order of the night). Their Mac n cheese and calamari was also so good. Thoroughly enjoyed each plate so very much. My only regret was not saving this meal later during our trip to enjoy more. I will definitely be back next time I visit New York. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and great first meal of our trip. Highly recommend giving their meat dishes a try along with their seafood & sushi. read more

Food was really good!! John, however, was amazing!!! Loved everything about our evening!

This restaurant is truly hidden. I can't believe how many times I must have walked past it in the heart of Times Square. I visited with my family, and we had a table for three. The food is delicious; I ordered the prix fixe menu. The highlight for me was the first course: the Lobster Bisque. It was perfectly made and served with plenty of lobster.The salmon was good. The Butterscotch Bread Pudding for dessert was remarkably amazing! I highly recommend saving room for it, because I'm not sure it would be the same if it weren't served fresh and warm. The service was great, and our waiter was super friendly and helpful. This place is definitely a hidden gem. I also tried the sushi, which was excellent. We did have a minor hiccup with my sister's scallops not being fully cooked, but the manager handled it well and removed the entree from the bill. Overall, I would return, especially to try sitting at the bar for happy hour. I was pleasantly surprised and will be bookmarking this restaurant for future visits, or for when I need a spot to entertain family or friends who are visiting. read more

Nyasia recommend the right meals for us! Food was perfect and the portion size was on point!

What a fantastic happy hour experience at Blue Fin inside the W Hotel Times Square! We were staying at the W and needed a quick, delicious bite before heading to musical theater, and they absolutely delivered. The food was incredible. We devoured the mini lobster rolls, perfectly steamed edamame, flavorful crab cake, and those truly memorable tuna poke tacos. For happy hour, head upstairs to the spacious and beautifully decorated bar, which I loved for its striking blue accents. A big shout-out to the amazing staff who made the experience even better! I'll definitely be back on my next trip to New York. Happy Hour Daily 4 - 6PM & 9PM - Close. read more

Food was excellent but the atmosphere was terrible. Half dressed young girls taking hundreds of pictures WITH THE FLASH ON. Ruined the romantic scene with my date. Had the manager (Dean) come over to address the situation. " "What am I going to do, it's a different scene with social media and young people". "How about telling them they can't roam around the restaurant taking hundreds of pictures." Whoever owns the Blue Fin should be ashamed of themselves having Dean be the manager of your restaurant. read more

The food is really good and I enjoyed the ambiance. The location is super convenient as well! I would definitely go back.

Service was great. Location is prime. But, food. Meh. Sushi was just ok. The godzilla roll was good. The rest...not so much. The tuna tacos tasted old. The calamari was more veggies than squid. And for $110 for king crab, it was dry and salty. Overdone. read more

You know I love my birthday! So I was very excited when Joe took me to Blue Fin to celebrate. We got there a little before the hustle and bustle of actually dinner service so our server was very attentive and gave great and honest suggestions (which I always appreciate!). This has been sitting in my drafts for a while so it's hard for me to remember the details of the night but I remember leaving and thinking that I'd definitely be back. The restaurant is beautiful and great for a date night (or birthday ;) ). read more

Came here before a Broadway show and the food was very delicious. We got King crab fried rice, and three sushi rolls along with some oysters as the appetizer. The service was very friendly and very quick. They explain the menu and were very helpful. The restaurant itself is beautiful on the inside. We came right before New Year's and it was all still decorated and it's Christmas themed stuff so it was really pretty and fun. read more

This was our first time dining at Blue Fin. I ordered the blackened scallops and my husband got the sea bass. The food tasted great and our server, Nyasia, provided top notch service! read more

We've been going here for years - what an absolute gem, and the opposite of a tourist trap right in Times Square. We shared four small plates - the sea bass bites, the cauliflower salad, the bang bang rock shrimp and shishitos, and the baked oysters. Everything was flavorful, interesting, and impeccably made. We had room for dessert and were recommended the bread pudding - don't have to tell us twice. It was unbelievable... that truly might be the best dessert I've ever had. Topped with dolce de leche ice cream and a candied pecan sauce... Drool-worthy. read more

Blue Fin - Bread Pudding - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Service was prompt and friendly, although there were only two tables, including ours. For a great location, right on Times Square, it felt very eerie to be so empty. The upstairs was very spacious with plenty of room downstairs as well. Lots of sushi options and menu variety to appease any appetite. The food was creatively done, especially the Seabass bites. The presentation was superb and the complexity of different ingredients really was a highlight. The mini lobster rolls were a nice touch as an appetizer, but probably was better described as lobster sliders instead. A side orders of asparagus was very good as was being topped off with thick cut bacon bits and a fried egg was a creative touch! Although the other side of brussels sprouts were served with a healthy portion, I was disappointed that they were not roasted in much to use soft which left it quite bland. The Chilean Seabass was good, although the portion was very small. Interesting, the ribeye was a good size, but not very thick although it was cooked very well with a nice sear. For the price, I don't think it was a good value, especially with so much competition nearby, but the food was above average although the portions were small. I am also a little disappointed that there was no recognition for my son who was celebrating his birthday, until we actually left when the hostess greeted him. I specifically mentioned that we were celebrating his milestone when making the reservation. While most restaurants would offer some complementary dessert, I was only hoping for some type of recognition during the meal. read more

Absolutely beautiful place right in Times Square. Perfect for an after theater meal. We had the crab cake app and the sea bass bites app. Delicious! My husband had sushi and I had the sea bass entree. We shared the cauliflower au gratin and the Brussel sprouts which were tasty but a smidge undercooked. I also ordered the shrimp cocktail and that was heavenly. Our only complaint, if you want to call it that, was the server described the freshness of the fish as "better than Red Lobster." And she pointed out 4 specific seafood dishes noting that "out of these dishes, 3 have been sent back." We weren't sure of the point she was making. I've never known wait staff to specifically tell us that food has been sent back. Maybe she gets commission if she sells this particular food? It was just odd. All in all I would hardly recommend this place for either after theater or after work drinks and dinner. read more

Underwhelming food. The ambiance was nice, and service was fine. This restaurant was unremarkably.

Good place for pre theater! Right in Times Square but not touristy. Fun decor and good ambiance. Kale and cauliflower salad was delicious as were the entrees. Miso sea bass was a hit. Also sushi rolls and I had blackened branzino served with broccolini. Our server was excellent and we were not rushed to get to the theater. Well done! read more

We went to Blue Fin on a Thursday afternoon. There was no wait but the restaurant was pretty busy. The service was good, nothing exceptional and food took a while to come out but they were friendly. The food we had was edamame and two sushi rolls. Both rolls were very good, they did not have a huge selection but they all looked great and were very fairly priced. We enjoyed the magic dragon roll and the Godzilla roll. The ambiance was very ince, the restaurant decor was fitting and pretty. The only reason for 4 stars is the bathrooms were not very clean, and the service and attentiveness was not all there. We would recommend a visit though. Thank you! read more

Located in the heart of times square and great location before a Broadway show. The decor is nice and service great. The food however was lacking. Everything we ordered was mediocre. Nothing was flavorful, the lobster was bland, fried rice meh, even the bang bang shrimp missed the bang. Best thing we had was the drinks...maybe it was just not the best night fir us read more

I really wanted to like this place. What I did like was its proximity to the theaters. It also has the option of a prixe fix dinner which is a good value, but since I'm not a big dessert fan i decided to order something else. I came here with 3 friends and we ordered a bottle of wine. After waiting 20 mins for it and not being attended to in those 20 mins, we were told they no longer have it. We asked our server if she had anything else comprable she lacked knowledge of wines and of the restaurant's selection. We ordered another bottle and the lobster bisque, crab fried rice, and Mac & Cheese to share. The lobster bisque was salty and had minimal lobster meat. The crab fried rice was ok, but kind of greasy. The Mac and Cheese was also ok, watery, but edible. Our waitress was painfully slow and at one point just altogether stopped coming around to check in on us. We had to hunt her down to order a coffee and the check. Overall, it was my least favorite dining experience I had in NYC's theater district. If you could avoid coming here I would. There are better options just plan ahead and make reservations. read more

Went there for a group dinner. The place was pretty much empty. Surprisingly so for Times Square...but I can see why...read on. We had a private room with a set menu. We waited for a long time to get a drink. Not sure why. I had a glass of white wine. It was warm and barely drinkable. I tried another and it was ok but still warm! Sushi was served on a boat and there were also bruschetta and pork belly and shrimp. The pork belly was so salty it was inedible. Shrimp were quite limp. The sushi was so poor quality I did not even finish one piece. Poor start. The entree was the salmon on a bed of quinoa. Small was watery...not a term I have used for salmon before but it just was poorly cooked or a bad piece of fish but others had the same experience. Very disappointing return. read more

the sushi was delicious, our crème brûlée was also! our server, Nyasia was attentive but not intrusive.

Blue Fin - Dessert was great too the ice cream is fried marshmallow so good - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

My friend and I ordered the prix fixe menu a few days ago. The lobster bisque was creamy and filled with shredded lobster, and the salad kept surprising us with the vegetables we kept finding. We both had the filet and loved it. The accompanying mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect. We each ordered a different dessert. The chocolate cake was too rich, almost bitter (to me), but the butterscotch bread pudding was amazing. We both enjoyed that until we just couldn't eat another bite. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Kudos for a restaurant well done. read more
