honestly the perfect sushi spot in boulder !!! not only is the food amazing (both quality & portion sizes) but the service is just wonderful . even being such an intimate spot: the team, while small, is super hospitable !! can't believe it's taken me so long to find this place, but i'm so glad i did and will be back time & again !!! read more

Lunch was quite expensive. Needed to ask for lunch specials and even then quite vague. Sushi and hand rolls were enjoyed, but salad (as entree) was quite small and seared tuna portion added was tiny. Waitress was clearly new and was pleasant but didn't know many basic menu questions. Very small place. read more

Wtf is this my crispy rice had the most mediocre fry on the rice and the spicy tuna looks like grey kimchi. Whole Foods has better looking tuna than this. Salmon roll was pretty fire though. read more

This niche Japanese place has the feel of the real thing. Most good restaurants in Japan are small. Blofish carries that standard. There are indoor high tables and a diner-style outdoor seating area. I love how my rice bowl came out. It is a beautiful miniature landscape. Kudos to the staff for creating a meal that brings memories of my trip. Ask for their sake menu. They have a good selection. read more

I've been looking forward to going to Blofish for a long time, but was incredibly disappointed. The fish was mediocre at best, rolls were mostly rice. Way WAY overpriced. Even the traditionally affordable items (Ebi/Shrimp, Tamago/Egg) were $14 for two nigiri - and they weren't even good. I left still hungry, and feeling taken advantage of. Our waitress was nice, but seemed to be distracted: they missed an item, then brought the wrong item. The location and decor were nice, and the roll up door in front made for a nice indoor/outdoor experience. Overall: Terrible value, poor quality fish - next time I'd opt for grocery store sushi over this place. If you're looking for sushi in Boulder, stick to Japango or Sushi Zanmai. read more

Even on a Friday night this place has empty spots, and for a good reason. First of all, the fish was fresh, no complaints there. Rolls were probably the worst I ever had in my life, the fish to rice ratio was very disappointing. The prices were high, 28$ for otoro nigiri that was wrapped in plastic is kinda criminal. But the reason for 2 star is not the above, when we were sitting waiting for our food the chef/owner had an altercation with the food delivery driver, he flipped out on him for asking "when will the order be ready" and kicked him outside read more

Was excited to try because I heard good things and that the fish is sustainable. The service was friendly and the decor and to go boxes are cute, but the food was underwhelming and overpriced, the prices aren't even listed which is a good inclination the food is overpriced. Ordered the toro roll, eight pieces for $28 and frankly the sushi at whole foods is better. I'd give it another try but after reading the marginal health review I'm less inclined to go back. read more

Wow!! The food was soo good!The service was excellent, even tho we came in close to closing time. The BEST gyoza we've had, unagi/cuke/avocado roll and some saki rounded out our delicious meal. read more

this is a very expensive, subpar sushi experience in boulder. They have an omakase that is very aggressively priced at $135 or something of that nature, but that omakase will leave you very hungry. My dining companion and i spent $400 on a lunch for 2 that was just OK. For this level of price, you should expect far more in terms of fish quality, service, rice quality. won't be returning. read more

This review is for December 7, 2021 We visited CU Boulder at part of my daughter's college campus visit. We're from Hawaii and we were so starved for some good sushi. My daughter found Blofish on Yelp and decided to try. I have to say the quality and the presentation of the food were excellent! Fresh and delicious. We ordered: Sashimi medium plate, Unagi freshwater, Eel-Japan, salmon skin roll, miso soup, rice. Sushi chef Craig who made our dinner was engaging and interesting. We strike up a conversation about how he became a sushi chef - through his interest in the Japanese culture and art. We enjoyed his sharing and the beautiful meal he made for us. I highly recommend this place! read more

Wow. I revisited Blofish to celebrate my partner's birthday, who lived in California for a while and is a huge fan of high-craft sushi. We love Boulder because of our hobbies way more than Cali, but were missing that level of sushi. We checked out Blofish a while ago, enjoyed it, but then COVID discouraged us from going out much. Well, happy to be reminded that it's is officially one of my favorite restaurants in town. Some folks might think they are too expensive, comparing them to other spots, and I thought this too initially, but it's a whole other league of sushi without being pretentious. They know what they are doing, are super knowledgeable about their suppliers, and as a designer, I really appreciated how casual yet elevated their brand and space is. They even serve tea in some really high-end Japanese porcelain from a brand called Hasami that designers like me really respect the craftsmanship of. I will say that loose leaf tea would be even better next time. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and also just gave us space to enjoy our special-occasion sushi, without ever feeling rushed. Great sushi, great vibes. Will be back for sure. read more

What an adorable space. It has a small outdoor space as well. Great location right off Pearl street. Super clean, attentive servers. Food was on the smaller portion however it was delicious. I'd rather has quality over quantity. My daughter is a salmon sashimi snob and she gave them two thumbs up! Beautiful food presentation, a visual feast to my eyes before each bite is savored then devoured. Stop by, you won't regret it. read more

I've given this restaurant two shots in a few years, and both times have been let down. The menu is enticing, having so many delicious types of fish. The takeout and presentation is gorgeous, but the food is subpar. The first time I ordered, I got stabbed in the mouth with a huge sharp bone, and picked around my order to find safe pieces to eat. The ones that didn't have giant sharp bones, were really chewy and lacking in flavor. A year later, I decided to give them another shot. New restaurants usually have to work out the kinks. This time I got 2 salmon rolls, thankfully there were no bones, but the fish was really chewy and a bit dry. It looked stunning, but was so disappointing. I would expect from the menu, prices, and takeout containers that the food would be on par with Sushi Den, but that's not the case. read more

The A5 - Blofish surf and turf is the bomb!!! It is a very unique sushi roll. The only thing that stop me from giving five star would be the price. I ordered some other dishes like fresh water eel, salmon sashimi and salmon nigiri and they were not bad too. read more

We had dinner there on Friday, and I have to say it was the best quality sushi we have had in Colorado (better than Sushi Den). My wife said the only better sashimi she has had is Mama's Fish House on Maui. Be aware, it is a very small location. I have never been to sushi in Tokyo (their comp), but from what I have seen on shows, it is similar. a bar at the window, a common table in the middle, and the sushi bar, with three (I think) two-tops along the other wall. If you have a reservation, talk with them. We got a text to say 'here' and they would let us know by text, but never got a text. I checked with them and they were able to seat us. We sat at the bar and the entire staff was so knowledgeable and friendly (as good as the fish). My wife is gluten-free due to celiac, and they were so good dealing with that. They gave her her own jar of tamari (GF soy sauce) and made sure everything was safe. If we lived in Boulder, this would be our go-to take-out sushi place. We will be back, many times. read more

I could eat sushi every day. It's my favorite food. And I live in LA where I have some of the best sushi at my fingertips. Whoa. It is my mission in life to get Blofish to LA!! But until then, if you're in the Boulder area, you MUST stop by and eat here. I had pretty much a little of everything cause I was curious and nothing wasn't amazing. If you go here, I HIGHLY recommend the Wagyu Negi with Tempura Aspargus Roll. (See pictured) Life changing. Truly. ALSO the Tempura Kabocha Roll. WOW!! It has Japanese pumpkin in it. I have never had anything like it. It's SO GOOD!! Will definitely make this a regular stop whenever possible!!! read more

Ordered takeout for the first time - not impressed. Overpriced for what it is. Placed order through website for curbside pickup since I knew it would be impossible to find a parking spot on a Friday evening. Order was a 55 minute wait. Ok. I pulled up, waited five minutes and then went in. My order was sitting on a shelf even though in big letters on the ticket it said "Curbside Pick Up". Got my food from an unpleasant server. I was home 5 minutes later. Miso soup and Gyoza were ice cold. Tuna was "fishy". Amount of fish portioned was minimal. Do yourself a favor and go to Tasuki. This place Blows! read more

The sushi I received had overcooked and crunchy rice, for the prices this was very big disappointment. The only thing that made this mildly serviceable was how nice the staff were when I picked up but that has nothing to do with how poor quality this sushi is. read more

The sushi is just ok. inside is cramped, and they will probably have a problem in winter with no outdoor dining. The menu is not too exciting. The sushi is cut small but the biggest issue is price. $15 for what I would consider a 1/2 roll and $7 per piece of nigiri ($14 for two). Be prepared to spend $100+ per person which is obnoxious and unaffordable for what is not a great dining experience. No wonder the place was empty on a Sunday night. If you want a similar experience for 1/5 the price head to Whole Foods. Sorry blofish, but your prices are just too high for what you offer. read more

Clean, modern, small sushi spot with a loaded sake menu and indoor and outdoor seating. They also have random craft beer cans inside and happy hour Sunday - Friday. You can order with a server or through a toast tab link. We only got a few sushi rolls as a snack, but they tasted really good, and the miso soup is better than your standard one. I wish there was more fish in the rolls, but they definitely did the trick for us! read more

Prices have gotten completely out of control. I can't really go there for lunch with my kids for less than $200. No thanks.

Way overpriced. Very small space. Good for takeout if you can afford it. Fish was fresh.

A5 wagyu roll - thin and minimal wagyu over the driest crab I've ever had. No seasoning on the rice, so the entire roll was just extremely salty tempura. Ate the top and couldn't finish the salty rice. It was is a crime against humanity. I really hope the fish is better ‍. Ginger was good, delivery box was cute. read more

Fantastic fresh fish that is on par with Sushi Den and Matsuhisa, but in a more intimate, personable setting. We will absolutely be back.

I had been wanting to check out Blofish pretty much since it opened, and finally had the chance to do so this last weekend. Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. I'll start with the good - the sushi I ordered was very fresh and overall really tasty. The service, although limited (you order and pay online with your phone), was prompt and polite. However, digging into the details, this place just didn't do it for me. The construction of the rolls was erratic - one of my rolls was 70% rice, the other was 70% filling. I ordered nigiri that was overpowered by a bit too much wasabi holding it together. And the prices are definitely on the high side, especially when you consider this and the fact that the level of service is more like fast casual. I'm glad to have tried it, the food is definitely fresh and fairly good, but there are many better options for sushi available in the general area and even on Pearl Street. read more

Great sushi and sashimi! The sushi chef and waitstaff were fun and helpful. Try he space is small so go early to get a sest

Super dope sushi bar in downtown Boulder I would highly recommend coming here for a interesting variety of sushi and despite it being expensive it is worth it for the quality and the curated experience they will do for you if you order the Omasake type sushi. read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Not impressed. We spent $80+ on our take out meal tonight and we were very disappointed. The rolls were mainly rice, wrapped poorly (falling apart) and just plain poor quality.

Not me. read more

All the Karen's who review grocery stores saying this place is overpriced or not worth it should go eat at flowerchild.

This was some of the best sushi I have had in Colorado. Cute tiny restaurant with the fanciest toilet I have ever seen. Indoor and outdoor seating. All electronic and supplemented by the best customer service across the entire team in the restaurant. The monkfish liver was beyond incredible. I can't wait to return. read more

Best miso soup ever!!!! Also the staff here is so nice and accommodating, even though I dont like fish. The ambiance is great and they have a heated toilet seat which is also a plus. read more

Came in for lunch and it was a cute place! The food was yummy, service was ok. Very expensive though.

This is an excellent choice for elevated takeout during COVID. The ingredients were high quality and delicious. The packaging was nice enough to use as serving dishes for our family. We were all impressed and extra appreciative for the biodegrade plastic bag. I highly recommend the Agedashi Tofu. read more

Blofish blows. Any other sushi restaurant in the area will be better and more affordable. Got it delivered and for over $100 it wasn't enough food for two people. The rolls are literally half size and double price! Side of rice comes in a tiny little cup for $5. Salmon Nigiri which is usually my favorite had a weird chemical/petroleum smell and taste and didn't eat it. Bento-ria on campus is way better and a fraction of the price. Go to Zanmai if you want the experience. I felt cheated. They spent all the money on the adorable and tiny to-go packaging. The pickled ginger was the best part of the $115 meal, and the only thing that was above average. read more
