Blufin Sushi & Izakaya: Reviews & Ratings
The Food was great! I recommend the salt tail eel and the shrimp. The service was great. The ambiance was a mix of calm and fun the music is also nice.
Bluefin is a great sushi place for my friend and I to eat. We've been there many times. It's owned by my friend Jimmy who I've known for many years! This evening my friend had a spicy tuna roll and I had a delicious roll with scallops on top! We also had the spicy garlic edamame. Everything was delicious and prepared and served with a smile. We love this place and will be back many times!
Found this place randomly as I was driving next to John's Incredible Pizza. Decided to stop by and test out what this sushi place had to offer. We ordered the Squidward and a few other rolls. I was pleasantly surprised at the service we had received and how quickly they had prepared our order. The squidward was the first to go. My girlfriend finished the roll and she usually refrains from trying more than one piece of sushi. Then it came to the Spicy Tuna, and that was also devoured. The vibe of this place is pretty chill, low lighting type of restaurant. Seems to get extremely busy in the evening and on the weekends. It's a must-try if you like Sushi and are passing through Fresno.
Friendly service and amazing vegan selections. We will definitely come again. We loved the vegetable tempura appetizer and the avocado appetizer, and it was hard to select just two rolls. We could have easily ordered everything on the vegan menu.
Came late night within the last few hours before closing. ai try to find local spots instead of just the commercial restaurants around town. I wasn't expecting the utmost service as it was late. However, the staff was so welcoming and polite. My table ordered 6 rolls, bento boxes, and sake. I will say a really great memory made from a spontaneous trip to Blufin. Inside was a bit dark, but I would recommend coming at an earlier hour to get the full vibe. Next time, I would want to explore more of their appetizers.
