If you like spicy food I suggest you try the Spicy Shrimp and Chile Soup! ”

Sushi was super fresh and presented beautifully; fish cuts are very generous; crispy fish with ginger and tamarind sauce was perfect with healthy rice. ”

The rolls are incredibly delicious, and the prices are decent. ”

The miso soup was too salty, without scallions, and with very few tofu and seaweed pieces, and a bad fishy aftertaste. ”

The rolls are very creative, huge & tasty. ”

can say the sushi is consistently fresh and their standout selections for the price make it a great value. ”

the unagi rolls were 10 times better than it's sushi neighbor down the street (oishii), and the salmon lover's roll (generous helping of salmon sitting on top with a pleasant spicy kick from within the roll) did not disappoint. ”

However, the sushi chefs always seem to play the WORST cheesy asian pop at a level loud enough to hear throughout the restaurant. ”

Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. ”

we have been going to blue fish for awhile as they do have a good variety of sushi available. ”
