Waaaay Overpriced. Sushi was decent but the portions are very small. Wait staff was slow and overwhelmed. They will sit you outside on the sidewalk next to a pay-to-park station and try to sell you a $180 bottle of saki. They force you into a weird online menu that is glitchy, slow and just doesn't work very well. Unless you have money to burn, I'd steer clear. read more

I saw that Blowfish was a new sushi restaurant in Boulder so I had to try it! I ordered the spicy tuna roll and my boyfriend got the nigiri and hamachi. The togo ponzu sauce was not good. That goes on the hamachi. The fish tasted smoky or cured. It just wasn't what we really expected it to taste like. The tuna nigiri was really tasty. We loved that. The spicy tuna roll was very overpowered by the large chunks of cucumber. I could hardly taste the fish even when the cucumbers as taken out. They mention on the menu that it is marinated in spicy truff sauce, but even the truffle was hard to taste. There was a lot of rice and very little fish. I would say that the quality is decent but it would be much better if there was more bang (fish) for your buck. We will have to try it again to see if it is better, but I would try another place before coming back here for sure! read more

I received a message from Yelp to verify my complaint. Everything I wrote is not only true but understated. I plan to dispute my credit card for this meal as well. I eat out 6 days a week and never have I had more toxic or rude dining experience on top of bad sushi and an owner who was more concerned about berating a paying customer than trying to solve the problem. The entire experience was utterly shocking. read more

The sushi here is really, really good. One of the best sushi places I've been to. The only reason I gave one less star is because the service didn't really match the cost. Everyone was really friendly, but could've been a little more attentive, and our servers weren't sure what the rolls were when they brought them. This is an easy fix, though. I'd take friendly service over unwarranted attitude any day. read more

We were celebrating my husband's bonus and decided to splurge on the "large premium platter". The description said "8 pieces - combination of nigiri and rolls" and we liked that it was chef's choice so we didn't have to choose. We figured it would be a few pieces of fancy nigiri and a couple rolls to split between us. We got the order and couldn't believe the box was half empty -- it was literally just 8 tiny pieces, for $135. I called the restaurant and was instructed to text the manager with my complaint. I sent a photo, sure there was some mistake, but the response she gave me was basically "Well what did you expect? It's premium fish. It's better to order in person." Wow... Ok? I expected not to still be hungry after $135 worth of food. And if you want people to order in person, maybe... don't take delivery orders? Two stars instead of one cause she at least offered a $75 gift card (would really have preferred a refund...) and the sushi was good, but not worth $135. read more

Blofish - Ordered the "large premium platter"; this is what we received for $135. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Certainly a contender for the best sushi in Boulder! We got a few different rolls, some simple, some more complex, and each one was delicious. The fish is fresh, the roll that had crab in it was undoubtedly real crab. We ordered pickup so I can't give a thorough review of the inside, although it did look cute and intimate. The takeout order was presented in Blofish branded boxes and bag - definitely a nice touch. I will absolutely be coming back! read more

Ate here once before COVID. Came back during the Sunday happy hour and just wow. Sat at the sushi bar and ordered a 5$ carafe of saki with a gentleman's draft Sapporo. You know, I used to dine at Japango when I wanted some classy throw my money around sushi. But after today, I will ONLY be dining at Blofish. Freshest fish and most friendly staff I have ever interacted with in Boulder. Great music choices, great sushi chefs, wonderful cashier and that shumai will knock your socks off. Also, try the barracuda. Definitely the most fun fish I have ever eaten. Don't be a jimmy and eat at Blofiah. read more

I'm going to give this place 2 stars, only because the sushi was made fresh. It's overpriced! Two pieces of nigiri cost me $10, plus $10 for a roll, plus tax brought me to $25. They've only been open for a month, but they are so unorganized. Their menus didn't even have prices on them. And they also don't even know what eel sauce is. They gave me sweet soy sauce. Not a place I'd return to. read more

Really amazing unique sushi. They inport high quality fish you rarely find in the United States.

I understand that this is a new restaurant in Boulder, but as a student it was way too expensive for the quantity given. The quality of the sushi was great, but not worth the amount of money spent. The atmosphere is trendy and cute, but the booth that we sat at were unc read more

Great service and fresh sashimi and high quality rolls. Better than Japango and Hapa if you're nee to Boulder.

Friendly staff, but absolutely ridiculous how much the sushi costs and the extremely small portions. The food was good, but definitely not worth it. read more

Just had dinner with some colleagues here and seriously so so good. Atmosphere 10/10, CLEAN and smells amazing. Super clean and they followed strict covid guidelines while also making you feel safe and welcome. The owners were right up front, very attentive and truly love their business! We shared the Bluefin Tuna, the Toro handroll and a spider roll..ALL INCREDIBLE. Excellent flavors and presentation was on point! We finished off our meal with a spread of Mochi and our bellies are so happy! Highly recommend and will be a regular. Thank you Avi & Curtis!! read more

Nice try, good quality fish, friendly staff, more expensive than other sushi (hate to tell you it's the same quality of fish as any sushi place in town guys, as much as you might think it's not!!) and the menu is small (way smaller than other sushi places in town) No mussels which for me is a big negative and sadly the spicy tuna was just tuna with a lot or siracha ... couldn't taste the tuna ! The owner came in while we we eating and seemed a little intense, loud and not super warm or friendly which in a tiny little place is so easy to feel ... Love that you can drive up and park if you're lucky, it'll be great when the weather is good because they'll have outdoor seating ... really didn't see anything special on the menu ... The spider roll was better than many I have tasted, the seaweed salad was pretty good too but the spicy tuna needs help and balance as I said, I wish they had some type of mussels. If you're looking for a smaller menu and a smaller venue and you don't mind spending a bit more .... look no more read more

John is a young sushi chef aspiring to be great! He's open minded to try new things with customers and gave us some excellent recommendations as well. This was the first time I've ever had barracuda and it was torched bringing out this slight smokiness that was so inviting. They had fresh ika, cuttlefish. I was in luck since they also had natto available. So John combined the two making me one of my all time favorites, ika natto with some sliced green onions negi on top. Coming from the Bay Area in California, it was such a pleasant surprise to find a killer sushi place in Boulder!! Then chef Curtis dropped in and made this amazing torched hokkai tako dish....so good. He then followed up with Seki Aji and blue fin toro and wild unmarinated saba. I'll definitely come back when we are back in town. read more

Tried to contact them about allergy options on 2 separate phones in 2 different places, they could not hear either time. The problem was clearly on their end and they were annoyed and said it was our fault. Too much money for bad service read more

A little on the pricey side, BUT you get what you pay for here... excellent sushi and knowledgeable staff

Boulder has a hot new sushi spot, and we lucked out and got to sit on the patio on a perfect Colorado evening. We tried various menu items, but the wagyu negi with tempura asparagus roll was an easy favorite. The wagyu had just arrived from Japan the day before, the tempura asparagus added the perfect crunch, and a pinch of sea salt on top really emphasized the flavors. The Tasmanian salmon nigiri and bluefin tuna sashimi were incredibly fresh, and the crab handroll was packed full of delicious flakey crab. Alcohol is coming soon, but in the meantime, they have kombucha on tap and a variety of Japanese beverages to choose from. The service was also quick and friendly, so make Blofish your next sushi stop! read more

To justify the prices, this place would need to be the best sushi joint in Boulder. Simply put, it isn't (nor is it second or third best). There was nothing special about any of the fish or the taste of the sushi rolls. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed our food. But it was not special by any means. And they skimped on the wasabi and ginger. I was really looking forward to my meal and was left disappointed. (They also messed up our order and promised to fix it by refunding us, but they never did). read more

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

My boyfriend and I went to Blofish excited to try a new sushi restaurant. The location is great, right off on Pearl street. The staff was friendly. First I ordered the green tea which was SO yummy. We decided to do the chef's choice of sushi. The menu said this was a mix of rolls and sashimi. 4 combinations of rolls AND sashimi. This option, we were told, was enough for 2 people to eat. The waitress brought out the dish. The dish was only 8 pieces of sashimi. Not even enough for one person. We were still excited because it was something new to try. While eating the sashimi I ALMOST CHOKED ON A BONE. I thought the point of sushi was so not have bones in it. The sharp fish bone scraped my throat. It hurt so bad. I told our waitress and she said the dish she served earlier was worse than that? I've had my fair share of sushi, this hands down. worst experience. read more

We got $113 worth of food (via DoorDash). I was hoping it could feed 2 people but there is no way. See the attached photo. The rolls are so TINY and the food is expensive and actually not all that good. We were excited to try a new sushi place in town, but will be sticking with AOI for the future. Far less expensive and simply delicious. read more

This place was so amazing. Abi, the owner, was the kindest and most attentive. The food was incredible from start to finish! We got the Wagyu nigiri, many rolls, Shishito peppers, and the amazing Mochidoki dessert. The restaurant was comfortable and fun! read more

Great little sushi joint. The sushi was really good quality. Simple but flavorful with really good tuna. All the things proper sushi should be.

This sushi is extremely fresh and amazing. Melt in your mouth nigiri and sashimi, and the rolls were also very delicious. Definitely try the toro toro toro roll and tuna nigiri. We sat at the sushi bar and had a ton of fun chatting with the sushi chefs and getting recommendations. It is a very small space so do not expect to walk in with a huge group- make a reservation! I would highly recommend this spot for sushi in Boulder! Thanks again! read more

We love Blofish Sushi. Everything is fresh and delicious. The service is impeccable.

Great food and service, drink are delicious, sushi is fresh and tasty. I loved the atmosphere, small seating but in a way that works.

The best tasting sushi and freshest fish in boulder. I've tasted sushi across the globe, and finding good sushi in boulder is difficult. Wonderful staff and amazing preparation. Absolutely recommend this for a date, solo sushi sesh at the bar, or a dinner with the family. Try this place!!! read more

Reservation made but not honored. Had to wait over an hour for a table. Ordered and paid for food, some which was never served. What we did receive was nothing special, definitely over-priced, the staff was not attending and the owner lady sure had a horrible attitude. Never again. read more

Completely underwhelming. Lets start with the seating: there is none other than some picnic tables and covid booths. They make you pay in advance and provide a tip which leads to the next issue. The service is scatter-brained and slow. They also tried to bring the wrong order to us which is amazing given the fact that there aren't many people at the two picnic tables and covid booths. No one knew how to fix the dysfunctional outdoor heaters The food is expensive for what you get - tiny portions. Seems like its college student sushi. Go somewhere else. read more

The sushi was a big meh. We spent $200 on dinner for 2 and it didn't blow my socks off. Many of the rolls were very heavy on the rice and not super flavorful. Also, the service was essentially non existent as we ordered everything through the app. read more
