The service was horrible. The staff barely greeted me and my son. The waitress barely spoke a word to us. I noticed the table in front of me that came in after... was given water upon arrival, and their server was extremely attentive. Not only did my waitress not give me water, she disappeared for a very long time. I had to flag down another waitress just to get a to-go box and the check. The fried rice was made with the same rice as the sushi roll, which is mediocre, and for the price point, I was expecting jasmine rice within the fried rice. I won't be returning.

Do not come here.Service was TERRIBLE, and our waitress.. I believe her name was Maddie.. had the worst attitude.Ordered soda to just get it in a lukewarm can.My friend ordered Beef & Shrimp fried rice. She got pork and shrimp instead. First, waitress said that she just has to eat it because the kitchen won’t remake it. After some arguing, she finally proceeded to get the kitchen to remake it.. where they make it wrong. Again. She just receives beef in her rice and no shrimp then proceeds to get charged for both.I received my chicken fried rice with maybe 10 tiny cubes of chicken. The meal had no flavor at all. It was also cold. I was also waiting for a fork for 10 minutes after I received my meal.If you come here, expect subpar food and even worse service.

As a service industry employee, I try to not be too harsh when evaluating a restaurant; however, the service here in everyway was subpar. First of all, I do not suggest ordering a soda, it comes canned. The staff were not friendly, not helpful, and only came to the table to take our orders and drop off drinks, food, and the check. Our waitress did not refill my water or come by to offer. I asked for beef and shrimp fried rice, I was then presented with shrimp and pork. To make matters worse, my waitress then said that the kitchen refused to remake my order and asked if I was okay with eating the shrimp and pork fried rice. Of course I wasn't, because that is not what I ordered. When my fried rice came out, there was hardly any beef on it and absolutely no shrimp. I decided that I was too hungry to wait any longer to eat, so I decided against waiting for the shrimp. The fried rice itself was flavorless and I had to add a lot of soy sauce in order to achieve flavor, the gyoza was at least good. When my bill came out, I was then charged for the shrimp that I was not given. The waitress did not seem pleased to hear that I was calling her out on another mistake. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed in the service and I will not be visiting again.

LOVE blue fin. Hubby took me here for my birthday last year, which was my very first time, and it was amazing. The sweet and hot Julia is my most fav, but everything we have tried has been fabulous. The servers are always friendly. It's not a huge place, but it's not really small either. We also enjoy the hot sake here. I'm always in the mood to come here.

Underwhelming is an understatement. But what was parallel to the subpar food was the rude passive behavior of both the woman server and guy behind the bar. I came in yesterday and they said they weren't allowing dining (in a very annoyed tone)okay cool I made a to go order . Upon receiving my food I asked for a fork, I was then told by the lady well we usually don't give fork out to go. (AS SHE HANDS ME A PLASTIC FORK) so do u guys just hold on to the plastic forks forever? As I was checking my order I was told we're closed. It was 3:00 on the dot . I get being ready to get off of work but attitude was everything and it wasn't worth the basic sushi I had. Being rushed out I rather have them just said they weren't taking any orders at all

I ordered take out and the service was great and atmosphere when I picked up. It’s a smaller spot but I plan on dining in soon. Pictured is crazy roll, shrimp tempura roll, and pork gyoza. Great quality and taste for the price!

Highly recommend. The soft crab sushi is to die for! The ahi tuna sashimi was fresh and melted in my mouth. Great service, decent prices for seafood. 10/10 would definitely visit again soon.

This was highly recommended by a local guy and since I love sushi I stopped in. Hands down one of the best spicy scallop hand roll I've ever had. Prices are very good too. But the hungry man roll... oh my god I was massive. I've never seen one roll fill two grown men before. It's a must go just for that one roll.
