My Wife and I ate here in 2022 and 2023 on our back to back visits to the Northeast. We also start with the dumplings/gyoza. They're delicious and the soy based sauce that accompany the dumplings is very flavorful. We typically get an order of the fried rice and pour the remaining sauce over the rice. The rice comes with Chinese sausage which is a nice change of pace from regular fried rice. I have gotten multiple sushi rolls during our two visits and all of them were great. The street this restaurant is on is nice and gives good vibes. Good for a walk before or after supper. read more

Enjoyed our Blue Fin favorite of Shrimp Pad Thai. Ordered take out this time. As usual, food was excellent and shrimp were fresh. Only concern is that this single dish which I would certainly not consider an entree is now approaching $40 which feels excessive for any Pad Thai dish. We understand that this is Chatham in the summer but this pricing is cause for pause for us. read more

One of my favorite cocktails I had on our trip to cape! They do a good job of making the food look pretty that it makes it taste better haha our plates were all beautiful and the fish was very fresh. The sushi was fantastic and our waitress was very nice. We had a reservation, and service was quick. We only had a couple of appetizers and drinks, but overall a great experience! read more

We had a terrific dinner at Bluefins tonight with a wonderful server Petya. Edemame and shishito peppers were a good start, and Sarti spritz quenched our thirsts. Tuna nigiri, pad Thai, several types of rolls, scallop with onion rings all were delicious. Great space, attentive service. read more

Amazing sushi! I ordered takeout for a large party of 10 people and we had a great experience. We placed the order over the phone and they were so accommodating to complete the order for us within a certain timeframe. We tried several rolls and sides, but the ones that stood out to me were the tiger eye roll and angry dragon roll. The edamame, fried rice, pad Thai, and tomago were well liked within the group as well. It was also presented so beautifully. Overall it was a great dinner and delicious food! read more

Bluefins Sushi & Sake Bar - various rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

The food at Bluefins Sushi & Sake Bar at 513 Main St, Chatham, MA 02633 is decent. Unfortunately server experiences have overshadowed my food impressions. Being told I was weird for not drinking tap water and the server having no clue what a hand roll was in a sushi restaurant was not typical server behaviors. But the latest was the worst. The server, Nina, was immediately impatient and flat-faced. Never offered us another drink, served tuna sashimi instead of salmon and huffed when asked to remedy it, told us that people around us wanted to enjoy their dinner and our laughter was too loud. Not everyone is made for customer service. read more

Bluefins Sushi & Sake Bar - Summary of food - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

The food, service as well as the inside vibe were all fantastic. Be prepared to pay for it but everything was fantastic.

We were skeptical of this place, but there aren't many sushi options about, and we were pleasantly surprised by our meal. We decided that if you're going to pay main st Chatham prices for sushi, you might as well go for broke, so we got the love boat, which was quite the spectacle. It was really not bad Americanized sushi, and fed four of us well. The sashimi slices were hefty and the toro and hamachi were especially nice. Cocktails lacked finesse. Ex - the saketini was quite a large glass of mostly vodka. Friendly staff. $$$ - I guess you pay for the location - above typical sushi prices in places like NYC, LA, etc read more

Service Ambiance Food My second visit to Bluefins and it did not disappoint. We had a party of six and everyone loved their time at this Chatham hot spot. They have a lot of seating option from standard table, hightop, sushi bar and standard bar. Our server was amazing and clearly a professional that took care of our every need with a natural ease. Food and drinks came out timely and we had a relaxed visit. Food this trip was fantastic! We order apps/starters of Pork dumplings, Fried Rice cake, bao buns and a garden salad. All of them were delicious!! My personal favorite was the fried rice cake but I think each person would select one of the others as their favorite as well! Main dishes were mostly sushi rolls and one Pad Thai. Alaskan, Hawaiian, Dynamite, Shaggy Dog and ?? (Can't remember the last one). No room for dessert this trip. read more

My sisters and I had an early dinner on Saturday at 5 pm. We were seated immediately and watched the restaurant fill up in the next hour. We started with drinks (Cosmo, Japanese Old Fashioned, and a local ale) and appetizers (Buffalo Cauliflower and Korean Ribs.) Our drinks were excellent and ample. Our appetizers were well-prepared, appetizing on their respective plates, and delicious. (Yes, Cauliflower can be tasty!) For entrees, we decided on Toro Jalapeno and Shaggy Dog. This was ample sushi, given our appetizer order. The Toro Jalapeno lit up the plate it arrived on. It did not disappoint (as there was enough for each of us to have more than one piece.) Shaggy Dog was almost a balm for the spiciness of the Toro Jalapeno and fed each of us, too. The service was very attentive and not overbearing. We settled on a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream for a shared dessert. Again, there was more than enough for the three of us. While the restaurant was packed when we left, we noticed no noise or had difficulty conversing at our table. Ideal experience! read more

LOVE the food, not crazy about the seating/table choices for two. When you're getting several items, different rolls, appetizers, maybe a bottle of sake or wine, the small tables become quite crowded. They are also extremely close together, so there isn't much privacy for conversation. I would recommend sitting at the bar over sitting at one of the small tables. The food is worth it! The rolls, the ribs, the wings, the crab dip, all excellent. read more

This place was recommended to me by my sister in law! My husband and I came in on a Saturday night with no reservations and they were able to sit us at the sushi bar right away which we were pretty happy about. The oysters are so huge and good, we had to get a dozen of them. I got the lobster dip bc another reviewer recommended it and it was nothing special. My husband got the burger which he said was pretty good. I would definitely recommend the Surf N Turf roll. It comes with 10 pieces, is cooked and that seared beef (omg yum!) Would definitely come back because we know what's good here now! read more

Pretty good fare. Easy takeout. For takeout, you just pull up out front, and someone comes out with your food and payment options. You don't even have to call when you arrive. The food was all fine. Nothing bad. Nothing amazing. Had the bao buns, which were way bigger than expected. They reheated well. Two cooked sushi rolls. Pad Thai with shrimp, which was a hearty portion. I'd eat here again. read more

Bluefins was a bit of a mixed experience for us. First, the sushi is good, very fresh. But honestly, nothing that remarkable. The food came out of the kitchen VERY (suspiciously) fast. The service was a little odd, kind of halted. Maybe it was due to the loud music? When we asked for recommendations, of course, the most expensive rolls were suggested. Overall, I wasn't dissatisfied with Bluefin. Upon leaving, I would have been inclined to return. HOWEVER... A couple of days later, I got an alert from my credit card asking if an unusually high tip had been authorized. It was NOT. Apparently, our server tried to double their already very generous (20%+) tip on the credit card slip. read more

I live in Chatham occasionally order from Blue Fin pretty much stay away during the high season Unexpected aggressive rudeness from a waiter that came out to see what I was doing in the back parking lot in my car I was Unaware that Sundays, I had to go inside to get my order Sign for Curbside pick posted as usual I ordered on the telephone. No one told me updated instructions. NOT A PROBLEM BUT please put a sign on the back of the restaurant where pickups are usually made how hard is that ; as opposed to passive aggressive behavior, and what a pathetic turn off It was dark cold Sunday night, and I opened my back passenger side door to put the package in... With my credit card and my other hand As he pulled the bag out of my reach this is almost funny in such a sad way Literally was told by waiter" i can't hand you the bag until I get payment" Excuse me WHAT IS HAPPENING to common courtesy this exchange was treated like hostage situation? No bag until payment made.... as if I was going to get in my car and drive away what was the purpose behind that behavior? I wish there was a camera there so Andy could see the bizarre behavior petty Low Opposite of what one would expect as far as accommodating, someone who obviously made a mistake embarrassing for the establishment read more

While in town some friends brought me here so I hadn't done my research on the restaurant like usual... but they hit it out of the park. Being from Florida I am used to very fresh sushi so I am particularly when it comes to having sushi out of town. This has to be one of the best sushi places I've ever been. We started with some appetizers from the specialty menu. The pork dumpling were delicious but the korean ribs outshined everything we ordered. They were so flavorful and fell right off the bone. We actually ended up ordering 2 for the table. For sushi we ordered the Cape cod monster roll, Roll 513, and the Red Sox roll. There wasn't a crumb left. The staff was very tentative, but not overbearing. The restaurant is very tiny and very busy so definitely secure a reservation in advanced. I will say it was a bit pricy, but I felt it was justified for the quality and taste of every single thing we ordered! I do want to note that we had a larger reservation of 6 people for a birthday dinner, and 30 mins before our reservation time they allowed us to add 2 people no problem. We weren't expecting them to be so accommodating but they were and we are so grateful! I absolutely recommend Blue Fin and plan to return. read more

In addition to the amazing food, the staff at Bluefins were SO accommodating to us with our 9-month-old baby tonight. We always feel sheepish walking into a restaurant with a baby, but they were welcoming and took great care of us. 10/10 experience read more

SO good Waited about45 min to sit at the sushi bar and it was well worth it Fish was fresh, service excellent and the vibe was both cool and comfy Spare rib app was a standout as were the special rolls Pricey yes. Worth it, yes! read more

Decor was nice; what you'd expect from a somewhat upscale sushi place. The staff checked in frequently and were organized and friendly. The food was good but not overly unique. Hamachi carpaccio could have used some more flavor to make it more interesting. Cocktails were excellent and had a lot of options for both sake and martinis. The pad Thai, bao buns, and poke bowls were all surprisingly large portions. We went with group of ten and they managed it perfectly and all the food came out as ordered and quickly. read more

First time at the bar in a number of years. Everything we ordered was fabulous. Especially loved the yellowtail served carpaccio style with scallions.

I loveeeeed dinner at Bluefins. I understand the 90 minute dining limit, but I could have sat there all evening (which is why I understand it). The wait staff is very attentive, probably to accommodate the time limit, but great nonetheless. The sushi is fresh, flavorful, with amazing, buttery texture. The drinks are balanced very well, too. It's pretty crowded and loud, but everything is along the Cape in the summer. read more

Never had a good experience here. Sushi is small and service is rude. They made me wait outside for my pick up order and it took over an hour. Australian lady is super rude. read more

Our experience fired on all cylinders. Our table was ready before our reservation and we received a text message to inform us. Seated promptly, our serve was attentive and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the ginger & lychee martinis, as well as the mai Tai and spicy jalapeno margarita. The sushi rolls and mains were excellent. As were the homemade pork dumpling special and blueberry cheesecake. The only miss was the miso soup which was bland. The food was quick, many attentive staff and quality proteins made our experience enjoyable! read more

Busy, happy environment. Food is outstanding! Service is excellent. Ambiance is noisy but fun.

I was able to snag a table on a Friday night as a walk in. I started off with the Lobster Dip. The wonton chips were a different spin that was delightful. Then I had the Surf and Turf sushi, which was a treat. I'd definitely go again if I was in the area read more

Delicious! Would go again for sure. A bit pricy but splurge for vacation. Shishito peppers were fantastic.

Beware they get you on the pricing- the price of a handroll single serving is the same price of a cut roll. 4 handrolls was $80 - and they argue with you It's the same cost as they don't have any way to change in their computer. They also couldn't sit 3 people at a 4 top so forced to sit at bar with horrible service. Don't come here if hour want to spend $$$$$$ read more

Bluefins is a popular sushi bar in downtown Chatham. It was quite lively and active when we arrived, with busy and bustling tables and high-energy music (though not too loud). Service staff was very attentive and helpful. To eat, we shared many of the specialty rolls. The Cape Cod Monster and the Tuna Crunch were especially good, though they were all tasty. The wakame seaweed salad was also enjoyable. Overall a fine sushi spot. Ambiance is more neon and pulsing vs. relaxed and chill. But if you're happy with that, it can be a good meal. read more

Bluefins Sushi & Sake Bar - Our tray of rolls to share. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

Bluefins is a fun place to meet and eat! We enjoyed ourselves the first time so much the first time we never forgot it! We did try going back this summer while in Chatham but we tried to make reservations too late!! Hint: call at least one day i. Advance during peak times over summer! Our first time was in October so we were able to get reservations the same day! The food is delicious and the waitstaff were friendly and always there!! Its a hopping place and does get awfully loud and a bit crowded hence the 4 stars instead of 5... but if you're okay with the noise and packed atmosphere you're gonna love it!! read more

This is a very good Asian themed restaurant, it has sushi but it is more than a sushi bar. The spicy pad Thai is a signature dish, I love the wings and the tuna tataki. The maki is excellent as well. It's loud, almost too loud and it's a bit cramped for seats. Other than that it's a phenomenal spot. read more

The food here is always so good! Their sushi rolls are so tasty, and they're great to dine in and also for takeout. Pickup is super easy if you can't find parking, as they have a loading zone in front. The service is always quick and friendly. I will say, I'm 5'6" and have normal proportions (legs to torso) and no I'm not saying that to brag... that said I don't recommend sitting at the bar. The stools at the bar are just so awkward to sit on if your shorter than 5'10". The bar at the bottom where you would normally rest your feet on top of is just an inch or two too low down... which means your feet are going to dangle uncomfortably and you have to focus on not sliding forward. Such a small thing but the one time I sat at the bar for dinner I scarfed my meal down so I could get out as fast as possible because it was so uncomfortable. I bet a dude picked them out. Anyway, their chairs are good and no issue there! You have to try it! read more

Great flank steak and oysters in the half shell delicious pretty noisy young crowd but fun

Food is good and good location, but giving this one-two stars because when we picked up our takeout, the lady asked if we wanted to tip and we said no given it's takeout and she asked for a couple bucks cash at least and was incredibly rude about it. Very wild exchange. read more

Hands-down, the best sushi I have ever had in my entire life. They had excellent sake and the freshest fish and unique rolls I've ever had the tornado roll was different with deep fried potato on the outside. read more

The food is both beautiful and tasty. Our server was fast and polite. The Korean rib app fell off the bone and they could serve a bowl of the sauce alone. The sushi looked artistic, time was spent making everything look perfect. The problem is while the sushi was flavorful I couldn't really compare it to other sushi locations I've been to. None of it had the simple and elegant flavor I'd associate with great sushi. Everything was just too much flash, you couldn't taste the individual ingredients or appreciate the texture. The volcano roll is served drowned in a spicy mayo sauce that takes over completely and makes the dish too rich. Again, everything was beautiful and the apps were beyond incredible but the sushi was disappointing in that it wasn't elegant. It was more Americanized than you'd want out of sushi. read more
