Sushi Bar Blue Fin

It was an unfortunate experience. Very poor service. Our waitress simply forgot about us. It took about 45 minutes to get the appetizers because she forgot to put our order in. We never received our main order. Our table was never cleaned up. We basically set there for an hour and no one cared to check on us or take away the dirty dishes. When we finally gave up and decided to leave, we received a check for the food we never received. Cherry on top- our “wonderful” waitress was surprised to find out that she never brought our food. To be fair, the waitress was very friendly and was very good at saying “I’m sorry”. Obviously I can’t comment on the food quality, except garlic edamame was fine :)

Best sushi in San Diego! I would give it 6 stars but google wouldn’t allow it! Dice is the owner and flies fresh fish in from Japan everyday. Sit at the bar for the best experience you can get! The sushi is top notch, and having some sake or Asahi with Dice and Ken doesn’t hurt either! Ken loves baseball so can talk Padres or any other sport! I can’t just recommend one thing as everything is amazing!

We’ve been coming back to Sushi Bar Blue Fin religiously in the last couple of years, because it is honestly the best sushi in town. We’d go here on a lowkey weeknight, a lively weekend, and even celebrated birthdays with a large group! In fact, we were just here tonight! :) There are many reasons why we keep on returning but if I could summarize it in one word, it is authenticity. They have an authentic Japanese dining experience with an impressive dedication to quality. Every piece of sushi is crafted with precision by their highly skilled chefs who clearly and humbly take pride in their work, using only the freshest ingredients to create beautifully balanced flavors. The warm and friendly service makes you feel like family, adding to the welcoming, local atmosphere that sets this spot

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. They get quite busy so not a bad idea to make a reservation.

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.
