The only downside this time is my friend ordered a Prosecco that had obviously been open for a while and our server was a little to quick to want to take plates off the table, which is a little annoying when you're having a nice dinner and conversation. It was all decorated for Easter and looked really cute inside. Ate all the food before I even thought about photos. The gyoza was amazing!

On our last visit, I was disappointed that my favorite sake okawa sushi roll is no longer on the menu. It had salmon and slivered red onion on top. Guess it can't be my last meal on earth after all! My lychee martini wasn't quite as smooth and balanced as in the past, but it is still $12 for now! For dessert, we tried a couple flavors of mochi (mango and chocolate), which were as expected. The tiramisu came from the freezer, but it was a bummer that some of it was still frozen when served. Service was hit or miss and not as attentive as on past visits.

The potato croquettes were fresh and crisp and perfect for picky eaters. The beef udon was great too! Usually this is where I'd try and make some small bit or joke, but after I finished all I could think was "Man...that was good." So I guess you could say it left me speechless and pleasantly surprised. (shout out to our waitress who was super kind and indulged in conversing about BTS for five minutes)

The rolls were so good--the salmon one was really superb along with the dragon roll. The interior was nice and modern and the booths really comfortable. Will look forward to coming back on future trips.

They were accommodating for our toddler and gave an extra dessert for my husband's birthday. They have high chairs but my toddler doesn't like sitting in them. Food was good. Good deal. The rolls were a little different from last year. I preferred the Neta maki over the ocean drive though. I liked the kabayaki unagi maki esp with my favorite yuzu truffle sauce. The dessert options were more this time but my husband thought the chocolate cake and cheesecake were too sweet by themselves. My daughter devoured them since she usually doesn't get sweets like this at home.

The broth is soy based and had a lonely slice of pork belly, bamboo shoots, green onions, egg, bean sprouts, and noodles. The noodles were slightly over cooked. Overall, I'll stick with tonkatsu next time.

Soft classical jazz music in the background. On a Saturday night, only a couple other tables were taken. We were seated immediately and provided the waters we requested. The menu is extensive but the server knew exactly when we'd finished deciding and came to take our order. The miso soup and salad arrived under 5 mins after ordering. The salad had a fresh orange dressing that provided a refreshing citrus flavor and no mayo so it felt quite light and flavorful. Once we finished the soup and salad, the sushi arrived quickly. The nigiri salmon was excellent - melt in your mouth quality. The nigiri tuna was definitely the best I've had. And I loved the maki. The negi hamachi had far larger pieces of fish than I've seen anywhere else. And the sushi rice had some sesame seeds in it, giving it a slight bit of satisfying crunch. We should have stopped there but everything was so delicious and fresh that we ordered the mango crunch maki for dessert. The mayo was fresh and ripe, offering a succulent contrast to the sweet soy drizzled on top. But it was a little too sweet for my husband. The crunch came from what we think might be puffed corn. I didn't like the crunch and felt it detracted from the mango. Others would probably love it but I'll stick with the fish! Can't wait to return!

The sushi selection and freshness were okay. It's acceptable. It is definitely more for grab and go for huge catering orders. They offer a pretty extensive party tray selections. It doesn't matter if you're walking in from the front or the back, customers will still have to place their orders with the cashier. Cashier will ask if this is to go or dine in. I opted in for dine in to test the service. After paying for my order and selecting a table for myself, I still had to get up to get my own order from the cashier. There were 5 employees in the store, no water was served. My takeaway, dine in is a self service option. Quality: Fish portion was okay. Quality of sushi was okay. This place was not cheap for acceptable sushi.

TONKOTSU SPICY SHOYU- my daughter added an egg to this dish. This was delicious. TOKYO TONKOTSU RAMEN- I loved the flavors of this "garlic lover" ramen. Overall, we had a good experience here.

It was freezing, so I pivoted and ended up at Umaka Ramen -- honestly, not mad about it. Since I'm currently on a cut, I skipped ramen (painful, I know ) and went with the chicken teriyaki entrée with sauce on the side. It came out on a sizzling plate which made it feel extra legit, and the salad was actually beautifully plated...not just a throwaway side. That said... for $24, I still kinda feel like they should've just included the miso soup instead of charging extra. BUT -- the miso soup? They did NOT skimp. Loaded with tofu and seaweed, super comforting, and honestly one of the better ones I've had. Service and ambiance were both great...clean, cozy, and a nice escape from the cold mall chaos. Overall, a-ok in my book Not mind-blowing for the price, but solid, satisfying, and they gave me exactly what I ordered.

I do not normally write reviews like this, but the experience my family and I had at Bluefish Sushi…read moreBistro on 3/4/26 was so unacceptable that it needs to be said. Especially to save anybody else from what we had to endure. We came in for dinner after a long, exhausting day of running errands.... myself, my sister, and my 83-year-old mother. We were seated modestly quickly, which gave us hope. Unfortunately, that was the only thing that went right. Shortly after being seated, a man who appeared to be our server approached us not to take our order, but to tell us he was "too busy" to wait on us and that someone else would come. That set the tone immediately. When another server finally did come over, things didn't improve. It took OVER 15 minutes for Server to acknowledge us, And another 10 minutes just to take our order, while we watched multiple tables who were seated after us being served promptly and efficiently. At that point, we should have left. I eventually received an appetizer, but my mother and sister received nothing. As I sat there awkwardly picking at my food, we watched surrounding tables (who arrived after us), receive full meals before us. We flagged down our server, and only then were we casually informed that my mother's meal had been given to another table. No apology beforehand. No proactive communication. No attempt to correct it until we had to ask. Let that sink in: an elderly woman sat there (over a hour now), waiting, ignored, while her meal was served to someone else and no one thought to inform us. At that point, we got up and left. The front door staff were the only bright spots. They were polite and immediately got the manager. The manager assured my sister that the situation would be "handled," that we would be contacted, and that some form of recompense would be made for the experience. She was also so apologetic... But her apologies were as devoid is truth as her personality was devoid of any humanity. So her promises that she would reach out that we would be recompensed well...That never happened. No call. No follow-up. No accountability. As for the food? I can't fairly review it because we never actually received it. The small portion of appetizer I did get was nothing memorable, and the sake was honestly subpar. What I can review is the service, (if one can call it that,) and it was abysmal. Disorganized, inattentive, and completely lacking in basic professionalism and respect. Promises were made and not kept, which makes the experience even worse. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are too many places that actually value their customers' time, dignity, and experience. Save yourself the frustration and go elsewhere.
