The food here just makes you happy, it’s so good hard to describe. Great value for the money. So authentic and the chef is so kind. It’s like eating in a friends’ kitchen. I’ve been coming here for years.

Nice staff, clean and quick service. Food sadly was not good. Didn’t like the udon broth, didn’t like the California rolls, didn’t like the lunch special, fish was chewy, didn’t even like their ginger. Our whole table mutually agreed nothing we ate tasted good… Hope they improve…

In a more traditional and quaint setting, this chef serves sushi that is nicely arranged and fresh tasting. Service was polite but slow, even though less than a quarter of the tables were occupied. If you’re looking for a more traditional sushi experience then you’ll find it here. The Japanese scallops, the ankimo, and the aji were memorable. Recommended.

THE BEST. No need to consider any other establishment. I don’t eat sushi anywhere else. After having lived in Japan for years, my sushi expectations are beyond high and Blue Fin satiates my fiercest of cravings. Chef Daisuke is a happy, sweet, skilled sushi master. Cheers him a beer when you’re there.

Our regular sushi restaurant. Not an overpriced hipster place with fancy sounding mediocre quality food. This is the place you go for a great local meal. The blue fin roll is an amazingly fresh one to try.

Good sushi spot, people that work there are way cool and food was great, prices were good. Good spot for sure

The meal exceeded my expectations, as a sushi aficionado this meal curbed my cravings at least for the day. The seafood was fresh and the employees were happy, easy going and hosted a welcoming environment. I will go back again

Such an amazing staff and authentic sushi. Everyone was happy and so kind. The menu was expansive and delicious. The tuna was buttery.

Long wait times. No room to wait for table or take out (ordered ahead and still had to wait 30+ mins once we got there). Teriyaki chicken is a joke and not worth $11+ , it’s not even served with rice (see photo). Garlic edamame was good but salty. Sushi was good. Probably won’t visit again. Many other places in the area with better customer service and more reasonable prices.
