Went for my birthday dinner on a Wednesday with my husband. Unfortunately, we walked into an open floor restaurant with warehouse vibes and zero ambiance. Think Costco-esque lighting. To be fair, we got there a bit past 7:30...maybe they were winding down? It felt like we caught them mid renovation or something. The service was the biggest letdown. Our young server was nice but her inexperience was painfully obvious as she nervously fumbled to answer basic questions about the menu. I'm not newbie shaming because we've all gotta start somewhere. But at least avoid putting anyone on the floor solo until they learn the menu. She had to summon another server a few times who looked overloaded herself. And our original server didn't stick around to shadow. My hubs ordered noodles which came 10 minutes before my rolls. After my rolls came, we were an afterthought. I had to wave the server down for pretty standard stuff like wasabi and a drink refill. We even ended up swiping napkins from another table because I was ov.er.it. Tempura appetizer and sushi rolls were good. I had the 911 and rainbow, both of which I recommend. As a San Diego transplant, I was happy with the quality and taste. The sake flight wasn't bad either. Perhaps they were understaffed or it was an off night but the dining experience overall was cringey. I fully planned on leaving with a solid birthday buzz but got a buzzkill instead. The restaurant is clearly hemorrhaging money from poor service. The bar area looked pretty cool though. If I do come back, I'll be in Vans having a drink waiting for my takeout on a non-birthday. read more

Not impressed with any aspect of this place. Went to dinner with my husband and it was just mid. There wasn't any music playing which made the cavernous space feel cold and uncomfortable. Our server was nice but not attentive enough and the food was just ok. We ordered one roll because we weren't sure we would like it just based on the vibes. We actually saw another couple just get up and leave without ordering anything l, probably for the same reason. I think it could be ok if they fixed the serious vibe problem. read more

Spacious, clean, and friendly knowledgeable staff. My Chirashi order was impressive and positively delicious! Husband's order of Eel Roll, Salmon Skin Roll and Spicy Salmon hand roll was equally delicious and satisfying. Even the green tea was refreshing. Definitely give this place a try when you're in the mood for fresh, delicious and expertly prepared sushi! read more

We came here on a Sunday night for dinner. It was not too busy and we were seated right away. We started with the Philadelphia roll, which was fresh and delicious. For my meal I had one of the specialty rolls and it was one of the best rolls I have ever had. I wish I would have remembered the name. My spouse has the ramen which he enjoyed, especially since it was so cold outside. The waitress was friendly, and the food came out very fast. read more

It breaks my heart knowing one day i will have to move away from wichita and no longer get to dine at blue fin for their delicious sushi. I will continue to claim blue fin as the best sushi place in all of wichita bar none. Ambiance, price,service,quality? nothing beats it. I can write for hours on how much i love this place and show them endless amounts of pictures taken on countless dates. If you love Raw sushi this place is for you. If you like cooked sushi, this place is for you. If you love sushi but everyone else in your family doesn't, this place is for you! read more

Blue Fin Sake Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

The sauce on chicken katsu bento was literally BBQ sauce with sesame seeds sprinkled on top, which is not authentic at all. The sushi rolls and nigiri was pretty good. The rest of the food was decent. The inside is nothing special and has plenty of seating. On the bright side, it was not busy and the food arrived relatively quickly after ordering off the menu. Overall, this place earns 3 and a half stars. read more

Stopped by for dinner after seeing the wichita thunder play. Took a few minutes for someone to seat us as we were standing there staring at the staff while they were all busy. I feel like they need a wall divider to block the view of the restaurant when you in, to hide and section off the restaurant Someone stated this was the best sushi place in wichita and I would beg to differ. The sushi was good, but the best. There is a bar hidden out of sight until you get seated. There's also a private room available for rent. Our waitress was very sweet and nice and attentive. That makes any dining experience so much better! 3/5 - gyoza 3/5 - mixed tempura 2/5 - Combo C 3/5 - sexy roll 3/5 - spider roll 3/5 - salmon volcano 3/5 - Spider-Man I think there are other places that have better sushi. read more

One of the best places in wichita to get sushi. The rice to fish ratio is always perfect while the fish is always fresh and rice never dry. They have a great selection of rolls and a good happy hour.

The service was great and no wait time when we went. The atmosphere was average with plenty of seating. The food was good. The higher priced sushi tend to have more in them. This place was more of a 3.5 stars but I rounded up. The appetizers were great and the udon was only available in snack size. read more

The sushi here is always great and well priced, based on that alone, it's almost 5 stars. However, the service is consistently bad, never enough servers, and the food always takes way too long to come out. I really can't recommend it, solely based on service. read more

New in town and since we are from CA decided to check out the sake bar! Our server was really nice and conversational. She went over her favorites there and what was popular. We ended up going with a few of their rolls and some nigiri. It was all pretty good! The drinks were unique and went well with the food. Try the fruity sake flight! Will return! read more

Downtown already with my boys, I brought them here for early dinner. Walking in, the host told us it would be a 30-minute wait. He told the people behind us the same thing, but yet we were still seated within five minutes. SCORE. With an impressive selection of rolls to choose from, my kids went nuts...and ordered California Rolls. Oh well, I'll teach them culture eventually. As for me, I went with Eel and Avocado, Spicy Tuna, and Spicy Salmon. I've had Sushi all around the world and simply know what I like. This was very good. Service was good, food was stellar, and my kids were happy. Is there a better experience? read more

Ran into Blue Fin Sake Bar for a late lunch after a visit to the Art Museum. The house sake was really good. We had sushi rolls, some kind of lobster bites and I had yellowtail and udon. I have to say they used some sweet teriyaki sauce on the yellowtail that I did not like but the fish was fresh and delicious. Everyone liked their meals overall. The service was really good and prompt. The Ambiance can use some work, a bit of a smell when you entered the restaurant but overall a pretty good choice. read more

The sushi here is prob the best I've found in Wichita so far. My last visit we had a long wait time for our food but I'm sure it's due to a staff shortage. Our waitress seemed to be having to wait on the whole dining room floor. Please show your servers grace during this time as they can't help what's going on in the world right now. Once our food arrived it was delicious. Check out my photos I took there of our tables food. We will definitely go back. read more

The reality is, I wasn't looking for sushi, but the restaurant next door was closed...so I found myself here by chance. That said, my experience was good, the food was tasty and I'd likely come back if I were in the mood for sushi next time I'm in town. PROS: - fast, friendly service - fair prices - good location (close to Old Town) - professionally prepared and very tasty selections CONS: - could use more exotic/varied sushi selections (a lot of crab based rolls) - sushi arrived WITHOUT ginger or wasabi read more

I have really enjoyed this new sushi place. I have always gone to wasabi and sumo but absolutely fell in love with the flavors of sushi at Blue fin. I don't think I have gotten any sushi I don't like that. If u go before six pm, they have good happy hours drinks and food and you have to try their crab cakes. It is phenomenal !! Very yummy. They have a peanut butter sushi that you should try if you like peanut butter. I would never think peanut butter will go well w sushi but it is quite yummy !! The drinks are enjoyable too Staffing is usually a bit short but they do try to get ur orders in and they are wearing mask and space out their tables read more

Great spot in Old Town! The perfect combination of price and quality in sushi! One thing I liked wa that you had to ask for the wasabi and the pickled ginger. I need both but my husband doesn't like either. What a refreshing decision not to waste so much food for those who don't want it! We enjoyed it so much we ate here twice in one day on our trip to Wichita! Great drinks, and lots of options for people who want "cooked sushi" Huge bonus for me: Gluten free Tamari is available!!! Just ask for it! read more

Stopped in here during a work trip and was not disappointed! Edamame was good, just a bit too salty. Sushi was SO good, best I've had in awhile. Service was very quick, mind you it was Monday, but still very quick and good. Japanese dirty martini didn't disappoint either. Ambiance great, music playing but not too loud and everything looked very clean. I will be back! read more

Went there today for lunch being that I was attending a conference right around the corner. Service was quick and sushi was good. Price is reasonable. Don't go downtown much but would visit Blue Fin again if in the area and the craving manifests. Others in the restaurant were ordering some cool looking dishes but I had to get mine to go. read more

I come to this place very often with friends. Service is honestly a hit or miss. The other night we came in about an hour and a half before they closed and it was empty inside. Once we ordered, we got our main courses, but our waitress did not bring out any of the appetizers we had ordered first. We assumed it was still cooking so we gave it a minute, next thing you know, we are done with our meals and still no appetizers. We couldn't get a hold of our waitress, she looked like she was preoccupied talking to a co-worker, once we got a hold of our waitress and she was nice and took it off our bill. Not the best experience for us being the only ones in the restaurant. read more

The food here is so delicious, and if you go, you should definitely try the ninze (crab) cakes. They are unlike anything I've ever had before! So yummy! I have been a couple of times now, and both times the food and the service has been wonderful! The last time I went, my son and I had the honey stone and the baked lobster roll, as well as the crab family roll. The time before that, my fiancé and I had the red fantasy roll and the Alaska roll. All of which were well prepared and yummy! The price is reasonable, and the service is good. We will be back and I do recommend this place! read more

It was a reallllllly rainy day and I was craving sushi. I knew Blue Fin had their lunch special so I figured it was the best time to check the place out. The parking lot, like many downtown lots, was packed and so I had to park on the other side of the road. Also like many downtown areas, the streets were pretty much flooded. I could barely walk in my rain-soaked heels. Perhaps due to the lunch special, the restaurant was crowded. There were still some empty tables, however. I stood at the front for about six minutes until one of the servers came up to me. She asked me to wait for a bit longer so she could clean one of the tables. I waited for another 5-6 minutes. Finally, my lunch companion and I were seated. The overall menu was quite extensive and we had a lot of options to choose from the lunch menu. Our server was friendly and made frequent visits to make sure everything as A-OK. I looked around and noticed how nice the atmosphere was. Overall, it wasn't too dark due to the natural lighting but it wasn't too bright either; it was the perfect ambiance. Not to my surprise, the food took some time to arrive due to the amount of people there. I enjoyed almost everything I ordered although some of them were slightly too salty for my liking. Nevertheless, for the price I shouldn't even be complaining. Overall, I'd definitely visit again. read more

The sushi, which I drive clear across town for, was fantastic. Online ordering was easy and worked well. The ordering page said curbside available, so I put in my vehicle info, called as told to and the order was ready, and then it was just awkward pauses so I had to go inside to pick it up. In my sweatpants. I guess I should have known. This is Wichita after all; 'nuff said. BUT, their sushi had always been fantastic. Always comes with sliced ginger and wasabi and chopsticks. They're open late several nights, which is nice. read more

We had a bad experience ordering on Uber Eats. My boyfriend has a shellfish allergy, which he made know on the order. The restaurant, without contacting us, decided to replace everything that wasn't fish or imitation crab with avacado. When we called about it, the manager on duty said they were too busy and she made the decision just to take everything out. Horrible customer service! read more

Honestly the sushi used to be fresh and good. But when we got back this time it's was terrible. The sushi roll was premade and putting in the fridge to serve Customers when ordered. We can definitely tell because the rice was cold and very hard. Fresh rolls should never be like that. The meat on the Hamachi was wilting and discolored. The taste was very overwhelming. They put eel sauce over everything . I mean this never happened before but we will definitely never come back. The service, however, was great. I feel so bad for the waitress because she knew that we did not eat 80% of our food and didn't even take it with us when we left. It was the most disappointing experience ever. read more

I went during lunch with my brother. I tried salmon sashimi and another roll. Both were delicious and came out quickly. Sashimi was buttery and fresh. Prices were reasonable as well read more

Sushi is good but the past 3 times I went I kept saying I wouldn't come back because the service wasn't great. I'm not picky with service, it has to be pretty bad for me to get annoyed. Always long waits to get sat down (even if there's no other customers in the restaurant), long waits to get your order in, and even just to get your check. I've had a server leave during shift change and we did not have a server for 20 minutes at one point until I told the lady at the front. read more

Best sushi rolls you can get in Wichita, Ks. One tip- I do not recommend their Chirashi or sashimi fish - for example- the yellow tail I got recently was very obviously just thawed and tasted like a big bite of dirty tap water. Pretty disgusting, my cats wouldn't even eat it. It's just not high quality, but you cant expect much from a KS sushi place. They make really good rolls, but just don't get the fresh fish (really anywhere in Kansas) read more

My Asian husband has taken me to many of sushi sake restaurants in my day and this one did not disappoint. We were driving through Wichita and I found this place on Yelp! We do not eat meat other than fish so this place had plenty of options for us. The Japanese Burrito was unique and delicious for appetizer as well as the Shumai! We ordered so many rolls but our top three favs were Popcorn Lobster, Crunchy California, and the Baked Salmon Roll. My hubby also ordered the Spicy Korean Ramen and it was so spicy (which we loved) and the noodles and veggies were great. The server could have been a little more informative - but hey...as long as the food taste good...we are happy. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. At 12:40 when I walked in, there were only 3 tables. It's a fairly dark restaurant but clean. I ordered 1 order each of salmon and ono Nigiri. The ono had sauce all over it which was good, but I would've preferred to just taste the fish. The salmon was sliced so thin it was separating from itself. It was also extremely firm to the touch and not very chilled. I also got a lunch combo A and the Fired Dragon roll. The lunch combo was good but the Dragon roll was VERY fishy and didn't have a great flavor. My server was new and her trainer was shadowing her. She was good, nothing negative to say there. Overall, there is MUCH better sushi in town but I'm glad I tried them. read more

Blue Fin Sake Bar is not good. All of their meals have basically 99% imitation crab to where you can't taste anything else. Just fake crab. My sushi roll was supposed to have avocado in it but there was one tiny piece of avocado in one of the pieces then the rest was basically cream cheese and imitation crab. My sister and I LOVE sushi and we just couldn't finish our food. read more

I had heard the chefs at one of my former favorite sushi places in town - NINZA - had helped create the menu here. So, I was happy to give it a try for a midweek dinner. Atmosphere: The nicest place in Wichita to get sushi - perfect for a more formal occasion! Service:. Excellent and attentive! Food and Drink:. We didn't order drinks beyond some tasty green tea. We started with crab cakes, shrimp and vegetable tempura, spicy tuna salad, and sunomono (refreshing pickled cucumber salad). All were very tasty - moist where it should be and crunchy when expected. Awesome flavors! We got the Stonehenge (one of my favorite rolls in town) and Snow White roll. Again, tasty and perfect presentation. We'll definitely be back! read more
