A local spot my wife and kids & I absolutely LOVE! We've been going for years. Only place I will eat sushi. Super tasty. Love the hamachi, the spicy tuna & crispy rice & the yellow fever read more

This sushi establishment is one of my top favorites. Ive eaten here since 2013, and I can confirm the restaurant only kept on getting better. The chefs always do such a good job on presentation and the overall taste of the food. The waiters are always so kind and polite as well. The atmosphere is also one of the main things I love about this place. The dim lighting, the cleanliness, and the outside eating area. Even at times when its crowded, theres this sense of calmness I always feel when I eat here with my mom. Anyway, love Blue Fish!!! read more

We dined here many times pre-Covid and enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. We also liked their lunch specials. Recently I noticed the use of less than fresh ingredients. I always enjoy pickled ginger with my sushi but lately, the ginger here is dried out and tough. Also, the wasabi looks like play dough that's been sitting out in the sun. It's hard and lacks that fresh green color. It's apparent something has changed here and hopefully they can get things back in order. read more

We had a wonderful dinner and excellent sushi . Sharon and all the staff was extremely helpful, hardworking and efficient. Our great sushi gem in Montrose. Everything was delicious and very fresh. read more

Thought we'd try a new place some friends recommended. After ordering it took 45 minutes, not exaggerating, to receive our two, $19 sub-par rolls. Others sitting next to us received their large orders 20 min before we did When we politely asked the waiter what the hold up was he kept saying they "were working on it". When we finally got our food there was no apology or explanation from the waiter for the unusually long wait. If there was, I likely wouldn't even be writing this review now. When the bill came, again there was no apology from the waiter and of course not even a discount for having been there so long watching others get their food before us. Needless to say we were very disappointed with the service, food, and most of all, no apology for making us wait 45 minutes to get our food. We will not be going back there, and if asked, I will not hesitate to tell others of our experience. There are so so many other sushi places around here to waste time and money on the places that obviously rely only on their location instead of providing halfway decent food and service. read more

Very good!! Best salmon skin salad I have ever tried. Prices are on the higher side, but you pay for the quality.

I have passed by this place many times and went here after farmers market! We were greeted right away and was amazed how clean everything was! We got shrimp tempura dinner and wife got salad! Big portions and everything excellant! If you love Japanese food you gotta try! read more

AMAZING! Best sushi we've **EVER** had! My boyfriend and I are huge sushi fans, we've visited countless sushi restaurants (and gotten food sick quite a few times) and thought we had a favorite before visiting this place. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a wonderful waitress and a pleasantly quaint atmosphere. We ordered miso soup, bluefin sushi, an Alaska roll, and a spider roll. All were fantastic but the Alaska roll and bluefin sushi take the cake. The quality is unbelievable! From the fish to the wasabi, everything was simply impeccable. The service was quick as well. Overall, we had an amazing experience here and will most definitely be coming back with friends. This place deserves more five star reviews! read more

Went here with my best friends over a month ago for the first time. They had quickly ordered the seaweed salad, which they had before, as I tried to figure out what to get for myself. I ended up getting the spider roll as well as digged into some of the seaweed salad, which was good and light. It didn't take too long for our individual orders to come in that varied from rolls to actual sushi. I did love the presentation for the sushi pieces and there was a good amount of pieces for the rolls as well. The servers were very friendly as well. I would definitely need to go back to try more of their dishes. read more

My wife was craving sushi so i called in for a quick togo order. The server heather was extremely courteous over the phone, explained what my order has, and how much. I arrived a little early so i spent a few minutes waiting for the order inside. The interior was clean, beautifully decorated, and the ac was on full blast on a hot summer day. The food looks delicious and the service was great. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing sushi place!!!! Fresh fish, good accommodation, fast service but a little bit overpriced. Some items on the menu expensive compare to other places, it would be nice if they would adjust the pricing just a bit. But quality of fish its really good, melting on your tongue. Service its really fast and place its small and crowded so they just want you in-n-out so if you wanna meet friend for a talk this is not that type of place. But overall presentation and quality of food is good there. read more

This is a review of takeout: The quality of the packaging and the fish were better than I expected. I hadn't been to Blue Fish in several years because I thought the restaurant was average or a little below average the last time I was there. On July 7, though, I ordered the 5-piece sushi combo with salmon cut roll, and I thought the food was much better than the last time I was there. In particular, the sushi rice was better and the proportions (fish to rice) and knife work were also better. My sister got the 5-piece with spicy tuna roll, so I had an opportunity to try the spicy tuna as well. It was definitely on the spicier side and not super heavy on the mayo. I thought it was just okay compared to other spicy tuna rolls that I've had. I much prefer their salmon roll. One really nice thing about the 5-piece combo is that they let you choose whichever roll you want. I look forward to trying a different roll next time! read more

Hate giving bad reviews to businesses but they really need to do a better job in training their staff. We placed an order, after a considerable anoint of time waiting the waitress comes and says she lost our ticket. We had to place an order again - fine accidents happen. Finally they bring our order and when we tried to place an order for more food, as you normally do with sushi, the lady says the kitchen is closed. Who places only one order of sushi!? To add insult to injury, she doesn't offer any any discount. Then she hovered over us until we paid. Food wasn't even that good! She forgets our order, doesn't tell us it's time for the last order, then brings us the check without even as much as a discount. read more

Nice simple dinner on Monday night. Thanks to two servers, especially lady one :) She kept checking everything was OK. I will visit next time again. read more

Went in the weekend to try some sushi & other dishes. Sushi was fresh, and the beef & chicken combination bulgogi was good and nicely presented just the chicken was a little dry and blunt tasted compare to the beef. The salad had good sauce and seasoning. Shrimp tempura was good too. They have nice outdoor sitting. read more

We like to support local, mom & pop places specially during the pandemic. However, Blue Fish takes advantage of their customers. We've been supporting them since day 1, but after yesterday, we won't be back. Placed an order for my husband's birthday at 5:15pm. Total was $230. FIL picked up food at 5:50. Parking was a not the easiest and no social distancing. They arrived with the food at our place at 6:15. Except for the $80 sashimi plates, a wrong order of roll, and shishito peppers, the rest of our order were nowhere to be found. I called them 16 times to let them know, but their phone was just busy. Drove to the place and told the manager. Interesting that they gave the first 3 items on the receipt and the last item, but everything was missing. She tried to look for the missing items (rolls and nigiri)and said give them 10 mins and they'll make it. Remember this is sushi. It's not meant to sit and wait. 25 minutes later the manager gave me the rest of our order. She had the audacity to say when you come back I'll give you $20 credit. That is not how you take care of your customers! When I told her that the way they handled things is very disappointing, she asked how many are with us. When I said 5, she gave me 3 ice cream sandwiches. You think that's insulting enough? Just you wait. Just you wait. I unboxed the order on the side of the road to make sure it's right. The manager came up to me right away and said she checked it 3x. Yeah, no. You didn't do it the first time and I'm not coming back just in the event that you missed another item. She then proceeded to tell me IF I come back MAYBE she'll give more credit. WTF. I get it, you're busy and the only place that serves good quality sashimi in the area. But 0 attempt in making your customers happy when they are right there, your greed doesn't deserve any business. What a shame. read more

They served ABSOLUTELY NO drinks to my brother and future sister in law and pocketed the cash ... ABSOLUTE SCUM!!!! Dishonest and untrustworthy business in the community . read more

Blue Fish - Anoush - Sushi Bars Near Me - Montrose, California

Haven't been here in a while and last weekend my friends invited me to have dinner with them. We had a wonderful evening enjoying the delicious rolls and sashimi. The food here is good with reasonable prices. The mixed sashimi salad here is amazing. So flavorful and fresh. We ordered the Anoush roll , popcorn lobster, spicy yellowtail , heart attack and few other rolls. All of them delicious and fresh. FYI the garlic edamame was bomb. The reason for the 4 stars is that I noticed greasy counters, dusty walls and decorations. Not so clean restroom. read more

This was my 3rd time at this place in 10 years and the last time was a reminder why we do not go more frequently considering we are locals. The service was ok and we do not have much complains there but the food was so bad. All the fish looked grayish and did not taste fresh or sushi grade. Even their ginger tasted old and that tells a lot about the place when even pickles are old. The hot sake had weird after taste. We would never go back to this place. Not worth the mid-high prices they charge at all! read more

I can smell a good sushi restaurant from inches away . 1) Iced lemon water 2) Miso soup 3) Salmon sashimi 4) Rainbow roll 5) Dragon roll 6) Spicy tuna roll 7) Spicy salmon roll 8) Spicy yellowtail roll 9) Nap Went for lunch on Sunday. Sat right away then others filled up the tables. Small but never noisy. Attentive service. Real Japanese cuisine. I highly recommend. Gave me the fix I needed! read more

Ok the usual nice girl is absent. I come at 2:45 twice a week for a year. Hate to say but loser girl (last at prom) says we're closed. I say where is the usual girl? I have been coming here with no issues and get my late work lunch. " we're closed". Really?! Since I've been supporting this place w $30-70 twice a week and all of a sudden you need to leave early? Get your servers a better attitude! You're not the only game in town. Called a place down the street told them what happened and they made me food at 3pm even if closed and gave me a Saki because I was angry. Good riddance. And get rid of your servers who want to go home to their cat. Seriously at your prices you need to not have lazy people and a personality is a plus. Sorry nice girl! Sayonara read more

Blue Fish - Decent food too bad their staff (not the great girl with the fab light brown hair) is rude and wants to go home. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Montrose, California

Rating is for the good food not the poor service. One of my biggest pet peeves in food service is people who rush you. My butt hadn't even hit the seat when I got a pushy "what do you want to drink!" And I ordered water because I didn't even get a chance to look at the drink menu. Then 2 more servers came at me with the same thing, in the same pushy manner, wanting to know what I wanted to drink even though I had already ordered. I honestly would have ordered soda or alcohol but was already turned off and wanted them to back off. Ordered the Philadelphia roll and the California roll and enjoyed both immensely. I might have ordered more but the minute we ordered the menus were swept off the table with such speed I felt a sharp wind. I really did enjoy the food but the pushy demeanor of everyone working in the restaurant is a huge turn off. With 3 other sushi restaurants in walking distance of this one I would want to try the others first before coming back to this one even if the food tasted good. read more

I went here for lunch with my nephew. It is at a good location on Honolulu. The interior is nice, clean, and modern. This place has some poor reviews, but we really enjoyed our meal. They have a good drink menu. Since it was kind of hot out, I had a red sangria which was nice (although I wish portion was bigger). Service was fast--good choice if you have just an hour for lunch. I ordered the Sashimi. They start with some miso soup that was good. The plate was kind of expensive for lunch, but well worth the price. The presentation of the seafood was beautiful and very fresh. I think I liked the salmon the most. This was quite a lot of food--it was a good thing I was hungry. We split the vegetable tempura. This was a really good complement to the seafood. It had a nice breading and was not too greasy. My favorites were the onion and broccoli, although the sweet potato was really good also. I tried my nephew's sushi and that was good also. Blue Fish is a good option for lunch. read more

The sushi is yummy and fresh and the service was on point! Our server helped us out a lot and I was with my grandparents who are people who ask for a lot of things and our server still had a smile on her face and hustled to get us everything we needed, everything was made fairly quick but not too quick and the rolls did not fall apart (I can't stand when I pick up a roll and i don't have enough time to get it in my mouth). My grandparents have been coming here for years and I'm happy they brought me I haven't been since I was little and didn't care for sushi back then but I absolutely love it now and love trying new places and rolls, so happy to be back!! Overall, YES! read more

Happy to stumble upon Blue Fish while roaming around Montrose, we love a good sushi spot - but a good sushi spot with great lunch specials and awesome service? Heck yeah! There is ample metered parking available all up and down the main avenue. Blue Fish has a great variety on their menu, slightly pricey but definitely good quality sushi. There are several different lunch specials ranging from $10 - $20 (great value!) to choose from during the week that come with soup + salad (which, by the way, were impressive even on their own) and some combination of sashimi, sushi roll or tempura assortment depending what you choose. Our sashimi was fabulous AND presentation was beautiful! The rolls were great as well and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the baked mussels appetizer. If you enjoy a beer Blue Fish offers a really great selection of bottled beers as well. Wonderful little spot, highly recommend ! read more

We ordered 4 dishes and the fish on all was not fresh. After having one bite of each it was all left untouched. Their rolls tasted awful. What was worse than that was when we gave the manager feedback she didn't seem to care about it. Nothing was offered. Not even an apology. Very disappointed and will never go there again read more

I was a little disappointed because the restaurant looks so good from the outside and seems like a good place to go with a group of people. They have a reputation for high pricing, but since I was only getting two cut rolls to go, figured it would be okay. The spicy tuna roll was not very spicy and the salmon roll was so so. The rice was kind of sweet. Prices were a couple of bucks higher than Sushi Monster down the street and the rolls were not nearly as tasty. Presentation was nice. Probably wouldn't come back unless had a specific reason to. read more

Wow !!! we had been here in the past but this place has gone downhill and we will most likely not be back. How stupid do you have to be to be TOO CHEAP FOR YOUR OWN GOOD ??? this place will not pass any health department test I guarantee it! We had to tell them to turn on the Air Conditioning, the place doesn't feel clean, the floors need to be power washed along with the bathrooms. What worse is they brought out a more expensive bottle of Sake and Charged us $15 more for it on purpose and refused to fix it. Crooks !!! Check your receipt before paying if you go to this dump! read more

Wednesday at 1:00pm... a very slow afternoon... they didn't see me standing by their sign for seating, order for 2 rolls took 45 minutes. I just can't get past it. crazy .

I hate writing bad reviews especially for local businesses but we had such a horrible experience here. We live in the area and usually go to Sakana on foothill but wanted to try somewhere new.

Blue Fish - "Shat Love" - Sushi Bars Near Me - Montrose, California

I grew up and lived in La Canada for over 30 years. Moved away 25 years ago but return to La Canada/Montrose on occasion to visit family & friends. I guess what I'm saying is I know the area. Became a sushi fan 6 years ago and now I'm a Blue Fish Fan. Blue Fish is hands down the best sushi and sushi restaurant I have ever been to. I have been there 3 times in the past 30 days, which tells you how good it is. Sushi-Let me start with the sushi (see my picture). I ordered the Lady Bug (with soy) and the Spicy Yellowtail Roll. The Lady Bug melted in my mouth. The Spicy Yellowtail was perfectly/moderately spicy. Not hot. 3 words about their sushi: FRESH, FRESH, FRESH! Service-Phenomenal! The servers are sweet, want you to be happy and frequently check back with you to make sure you have everything you need. Lots of servers walking around to help you. You will never have to ask or wait for anything. They are totally on top of it. Also, love the free fresh orange dessert that helps you clean the palate. Ambiance-The restaurant is clean with an upscale decor and professional staff. The ambiance of Montrose, before or after your meal is so small town. Everyone walking around is smiling and happy. What a concept. You will feel like your on vacation. If you don't love this place, I will be shocked... read more

This place is absolutely ridiculous. Idiot waiter brought me a completely wrong roll and was basically forcing me to take it. We literally fought for like 10 minutes going back and forth. He was refusing to fix my order and he said he can add another one and charge me for both????? What kind of restaurant does that? He was literally fighting my friends and I as if it was our fault he put the order wrong. Another girl had to interrupt and apologized then brought us the correct order. If it wasn't for that girl we were going to walk out. So ridiculous. read more
