The sushi here was truly delicious, for an extremely affordable price. I got three simple rolls for only $15, and I was very full afterwards. The location of Bluefin was also very convenient, as it was an easy walk to Georgetown Cupcakes right afterward. The only reason I deducted a star was because the hostess sat us upstairs and seemed to forget we were up there, so we had to go summon a water from downstairs to take our order. read more

Their sushi was delicious and fresh! We ordered four rolls and 1 order of nigiri. It's a small place with around 3-4 tables but it's the perfect atmosphere. I wouldn't eat here if you're in a rush but they were attentive and made our sushi as soon as we ordered. Some of the best sushi I've had in DC! read more

Bluefin Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This adorable little sushi place is one of my favorite places to eat in Georgetown. It boasts some of the freshest fish, resulting in buttery, melt-in-your-mouth sushi and nigiri. You really get what you pay for, and the prices are not outrageous. A couple off-the-beaten-path highlights: - The cucumber special roll is a must for anyone who loves sushi but could do without the rice. It's a play on a classic maki roll but instead of nori and rice, an assortment of fish is wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber. Delicious as well as absolutely stunning! - Udon is a personal favorite of mine, and it's difficult to find places that do it right, despite how simple the dish can be. Simple noodle dish served in a broth of soy sauce, dashi, and mirin. A perfect counterbalance to the fish! One thing to note is that while the establishment seems tiny, there is additional seating upstairs! It's a lovely place to grab a bite, especially in the summer weather! read more

Bluefin Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This place is an absolute gem hidden away in Georgetown. I've lived in this area for a while and just recently discovered this place. I made a to-go order, the website I did it on gave me a 40 minute estimate for the order to be ready for pick up, I showed up 15 minutes early and they were putting the finishing touches on the order. We got the big Sashimi combo, the big Nigiri combo, gyoza, and miso soup. The combos gave us the chance to taste all their seafood, and let me tell you something, it was all incredible. Having worked in a few restaurants, it's easy to spot that this family owned business really cares about their product and customers and it shows with their meals. They know how to cook and have the presentation and packaging on the to-go orders down to a science. I have confidence that they could prepare rather large orders fairly quickly at the drop of a hat, so if this is a need or concern for you know that they can probably handle it. I couldn't recommend this place harder, they forever have our sushi business exclusively. read more

I definitely give this place 5 stars. It's in a very cool location away from busy car/foot traffic. It's right by a beautiful canal and is run by very sweet people. PLUS the sushi is amazing. It may just have been the best sushi I've ever had. I ordered the spicy crunchy roll and the crunch toppings were very high quality. The ambiance inside is authentic and cozy. If you're craving sushi, this is the place to go! read more

Off the beaten path. Good food, good service. This is the only Sushi place I have been that has served Kikusui Funaguchi sake. I recommend that you try it if you like cold sake. I'll be back. read more

Extremely fast sit down lunch service. Suggest the bluefin and crunchy rolls. There's also a small selection of Japanese beer. The service was quick and attentive. We're fill off $40 of sushi, the cherry blossoms room has real crab which is refreshing from the imitation crab places. This place may be hard to find since it's on the canal. Suggest parking on main roads and just walk. read more

My fiancé and I stopped in while walking around to get a snack. Even though it was busy and we didn't have a reservation, they seated us very quickly and got our order. Food was delicious, service was prompt, and the beer was cold and delicious. Loved finding this little gem, and can't wait to come back. read more

This place is one of the most affordable and delicious places around Georgetown. As a college student, I'm always looking for places with cheap and good food, and this will be my go-to! The crunchy roll was so good! read more

Best sushi in DC!!! I've been here a few times now and they never disappoint! The yami yami roll is a must have! It's a hole in the wall, so make sure you don't walk too fast and pass it!! The service is great and everything is priced fair! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for wonderful sushi in DC!! read more

Probably fine if you're looking for local take out sushi. Otherwise don't bother, this is absolutely NOT a Japanese restaurant or sushi bar by any reasonable standard. There are just two tables and no other seating (no sushi bar). We ordered 4 rolls to go, which were solid, but no condiments were provided in to go bag. No wasabi, no ginger, just 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and some chopsticks. read more

While the sushi was very good, the slices of fish were thin and nigiri pieces were small. So, I have something to admit. I love sushi and ordered platter A for two people for dinner. I was so excited hoping that we would just be eating sushi all night. Maybe I'm just the hungriest person in the world, but I finished 75% of the sushi platter before I let my boyfriend touch it. The platter consisted of 4 rolls and 24 nigiri. To give you an idea of how small the nigiri were they took a normal piece of tako and cut it in half to make two pieces of nigiri. While the sushi was good, the portion sizes were disappointing. For a $100 platter it was not what we had hoped for. After the sushi platter was eaten, we went out for dinner a few hours after since we were both still hungry. read more

Cute little find!! Loved everything that we ordered. I'm just highlighting a couple interesting new rolls that we ordered - Mango roll with shrimp tempura was amazing. I rarely enjoy tempura but it was light and delicious. We also ordered the salmon belly nigiri which was new for us too. The cherry blossom roll was fantastic too. We came in the middle of the afternoon and people kept trickling in. Now we know why!! We will definitely come back. read more

This is a great little sushi place! It's hidden away in Georgetown and they have fantastic quality of fish. I highly recommend getting the special platters, they've got the fish to rice proportions on an authentic level. The rice is also good quality, and has the right rice vinegar taste as well. The restaurant is a cute, small little place and the food and space really remind of the small sushi places in Tokyo. read more

Always looking for a good sushi restaurant to try, after reading some reviews, I noticed this little gem with 5 star rating. My wife was craving some donburi but I convinced her that we needed to check this place out. Place is hidden, and is bit easy to miss. But it it literally right next to the canal. Small place with few chairs, so most customers took it to-go. We ordered chirashi, sushi jumbo (9 pieces of nigiri and more), and also one of the special mango shrimp tempura roll. Chirashi and sushi jumbo were very fresh, good portion, and the taste was on point. Spicy seasoned tuna on chirashi was soooo good. Reminded me of some fresh poke I tried in Hawaii. Price is cheaper than the other sushi places in the area, but they do not disappoint with very fresh quality sushi! I am definitely going back to try more things on the menu! Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed! Oh also the owners told me that they will be transitioning into a full restaurant in few weeks, and will have actual dining area upstairs. read more

Bluefin Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Food was great but overpriced and the service was not great. No water brought to the table. Bathroom dirty.

There were only a few people there when I walked in, but I had to ask if I could grab a table. I ordered sashimi with a side of rice and green tea. The green tea never arrived. I had to ask for it again. The sashimi was good, but they forgot to bring me the side of rice. At the end of my meal, I asked for a to go cup for my tea. She brought me a cup without a lid. I won't be back. read more

This place is great for a sit-down, or pick up at a price that is unusual for Georgetown (anywhere in dc really). I can't say that the service was very attentive but it's nothing below average. We ordered spicy tuna, spicy yellow tail, blue dragon and volcano roll. Plenty for two people! I really appreciated that their spicy rolls are actually spicy, I had to find a dessert place right after to help calm down. We paid around $40 for the entire dinner. I'm definitely coming back/ ordering delivery for this place in the near future. read more

The best sushi in the DMV, hands down. The value is incredible, and so is the shrimp tempura roll.

On Monday, I walked past this place with the lasagna I picked up from a place around the corner. I did a double take... This sushi place CANNOT be good. It's small, basically a mysterious door next to an empty canal. But I stuck my head in, and the itamae looked up and smiled. Crap... Well I will just have to order something small. A sampler of nigiri pieces was only $7.95. I got that with low expectations. After all, $8 for 6 pieces of sushi? Come on... I returned to my hotel room, and dug in... and I couldn't stop. It was fresh, nicely made, and the shari was proportionate to the size of the neta. Rice was well seasoned and at a good temperature. So.... I went back last night and went all out: unagi, scallops, salmon, hamachi, tako, ikura, etc. I will definitely be back when I visit DC again. read more

This is by far the best sushi restaurant in DC! The quality of the fish is really great, and the variety of a la carte sushi and special rolls is amazing! Amazing sashimi. Would highly recommend the Yami Yami and Blue Dragon rolls if you're looking for special rolls. read more

My favorite "secret spot," and my favorite sushi in DC, too. It's a small place right along the canal that's modest in decor and presentation. Everything is priced reasonably and has great flavor. I always get the spicy yellowfin and spicy salmon rolls and a miso soup, but the menu also has specialty rolls and house specials! I plan to come here over and over again. read more

Good sushi! Fresh and taste good! Price reasonable, not cheap but not expensive. Restaurant very small, but clean . Yami yami rool and volcano with spicy tuna were my fav read more

Solid sushi spot in Georgetown. It's down a little alley so it may be hard to find, but I'm glad we did! I tried the salmon roll and the eel roll. Both were tasty and fresh. Unfortunately, the rice was dry in some spots and the rolls themselves were cut large so they were a bit hard to chew. The pricing is more than fair with traditional rolls $5-6 each. All-in-all if I'm craving sushi and find myself in Georgetown, I will definitely pay them another visit. read more

Mediocre fish. Poor Service. Minimal drink options. Bottom line: we won't be back and we certainly don't recommend it. I have to assume the positive reviews are from the owners, as they gave me high expectations that were not even close to being met. The fish was ok, but I was feeling a little ill later that night. The servers were difficult to come by, and they seemed annoyed by us placing our dinner order when we finally caught them (the place was about 30% full when we went on a Thursday night, so being "busy" was no excuse). The drink menu is a few types of sake, plum wine, and one beer option. When I asked if they had any red wine, I was told they had a "Chardonnay." I asked if she had any other wine and was told she had "Merlot." So I took a risk and ordered the "Merlot," which came out in an almost pink color. I believe it may have been a Franzia sweet red. My husband's plum wine was about the amount of a single shot in a wine glass. It was a very disappointing experience. This is unfortunate, because I would prefer to support a small business rather than the chains. read more

Purely disappointed. No one attended for second floor, so I waited very long time for everything. And when I asked for hot tea, I didn't expected for anything other than complimentary tea, but it ended 2.95 charges. Plus the sashimi recommended by waitress was not that good and overly priced... salmon and yellowtail was fine and cut normally(some thick and some thin), but the tuna turned dark and teast suspicious... there is no rice no miso soup nor salad within sashimi special..overall I don't know why anyone will recommend this place for good. You are gonna spend nearly 30 bucks to get late service, screaming child who is the lady boss's daughter running around you, normal-to-lame fish which you can get from supermarket with less than five dollar. I literally feel that I am paying for their rent rather for food or cooking or service. No wonder there were empty tables on condition that there were long lines waiting outside in wind for other restaurants nearby. Never ever come back again. read more

Our second visit to Bluefin, and decided it's a five, not a four(see below). This is the best sushi in DC. And it's a short walk from our house, amazing local neighborhood spot. When you sit downstairs the service is spectacular. We had the freshest uni and tuna and super creative rolls. Great sake menu and the owner is this very charismatic Korean guy who's very focused on excellence. Love this place and it is now a regular spot for us read more

The food was semi ok, but the service was not good at all. Their price point was on the high end as they charge for everything.

Love this place!! Cute small restaurant with nice staff!! Great fast service and yummy sushi EVERYONE GO HERE
