We love this place. Great staff, great prices and a recently updated menu with some new things to try. We haven't tried many new things yet, we always end up ordering tons of sushi;) sometimes the music can be a bit loud, but they sometimes turn it down if you ask politely. Also the out door eating is nice and far enough away from the road that you shouldn't be bothered. Just writing this review made me realize how much we love it. Im going back tomorrow!! read more

Service was superb. Lobster roll is $8 for a bite size serving but pretty good. Lobster Fried rice was on the saltier taste but the amount is not skimpy. I loved the music playlist for a Friday afternoon. I would probably come back for HH only though. read more

Sushi & Sashimi were good. Cocktails were good. Service was friendly but on the slower side. They didn't seem to have enough people on the floor. I love the Las Vegas Roll read more

Blufin Sushi - Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan

I've heard about this place for years and just had the chance to visit. There is parking in the back of the restaurant and I chose to park on the street directly in front of the establishment. When I walked in I was greeted by a hostess that was walking from the back and offered me the option to seat myself wherever I wanted. Eventually I decided to sit in the room near the bar. There are two rooms; one with a bar and then one overlooking the sushi prep area as it seems. I waited for my dining partner to arrive and was offered the menus to order a beverage.They advertise having killer craft cocktails and baby the "My little Pony" did not miss! It was a vodka based drink with muddled blackberries. It was AMAZING! Once my dining partner arrived we ordered sushi, miso soup and the salmon fried rice. The rolls were good; nicely presented and tasted fresh. The salmon was cooked to perfection for the salmon fried rice and was a very large portion. So large that I could eat it four additional times. The miso soup was one of the best. We were there on an early Saturday afternoon and they had football games streaming on the tvs at the bar. The decor was eccentric...almost like a country Asian vibe. Not quite what I was expecting but it made the place interesting. They also have an enclosed patio that I was offered an option to sit out there as well. But declined because it was a bit chilly outside in general. Though it looks like the outdoor patio may have been heated. I could believe this seating option is really needed because the place is not that large and seems like it could get quite busy. Our server was really sweet and attentive which always will elevate the experience. I recommend and will certainly visit again. read more

I love blufin to death but what they've done to the spicy tuna roll is a crime it's no longer ground spicy tuna and they took away great menu items like the sweet potato roll and no longer take phone calls read more

Blufin Sushi - Las Vegas Roll, Shrimp Tempura & Philadelphia Roll - Japanese Near Me - Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan

Staff and service are absolutely amazing, but very disappointed with the menu change. We have always counted on the quality and variety of the sushi and sashimi but the current menu has eliminated most all but the basics and leaned more heavily towards hibachi style dishes. Definitely not what the restaurant has been known for. read more

This place left me waiting for ten minutes at the counter before even being approached. I came in for a carryout of two sushi rolls, and they were not busy. The manager approached me and blew me off when I didnt immediately say what I wanted to order. Sorry, I actually had some questions. Tried to ask but she just walked off. Finally someone bothered to talk to me. And 35 minutes later I had some mediocre and expensive sushi and a pea sized amount of wasabi. At 45 minutes, absolutely not worth it. And i wasn't the only customer they did this too that night. Also everything in the place from the floors to the counters to the benches was sticky. Gross. Also watch out for the waiting bench because it has a half hump intrusion in the same color that will absolutely bruise your ass in the terrible lighting. Also the menus in house dont match the prices online. Some menu items arent available and other items arent listed. I remember why I havnt visited in six years. Dont go here. Also, I think their tuna rolls come from a can. Why is it so pulpy and mushy? I should be able to recognize the meat. Gross. They also only provide generic low sodium soy sauce. Blegh. read more

I don't suggest this restaurant they have fallen off my food wasn't good my daughter loves sushi and she was happy pricy not worth the price

I have a great history here, which is why I was so surprised at my encounter there yesterday. First, I should say that the service was very good and, of course, the sidewalk cafe' is always a delight. When I first arrived, I went inside for the first time, and so the cooks could plainly see me, given there was only one couple sitting on that side of restaurant. I ultimately decided to transition outside to my normal spot, and ordered the shrimp fried rice which is always *very* flavorful. In this case, it was super salty - as if someone was distracted and just kept shaking the salt shaker. I waited for my server, explained this to her, and she quickly offered to have another one made. She exhibited an easygoing confidence in the ability of the cooks/chef to correct the problem. But, she returned with a second dish that was just as salty as the first. So, #1, well trained cooks/chefs knows that too much salt masks and ruins the flavor of foods, and #2, I can't imagine how that could be allowed to happen twice. I (strongly) suspect that the first plate was sent back as-is. I ultimately ate some of it, as I hadn't eaten all day. But more importantly, I took most of it home for later, sautéed some veggies, and doctored it up so as to soften that awful saltiness. I hope that management takes a look at this which might spare others from this pretty disappointing experience. Thanks to the waitress who did her part, and even kudos to the restaurant for my previous 5 star enjoyable experiences. Yelp defines two stars as, "Could've been better." Could have been a lot better. read more

Service was really good. The food was decent. I really wish I would've tried the fried rice. I might return just for that. Other than that, it's sushi. Super cute inside, cute patio. read more

The food was great, one item was missing from my doordash order, I called the restaurant and the manager himself drove the missing item to my house!!

Absolutely no service, waited a very long time for someone actually to show up at our table.

When the bartender returned, she Told me to wait for my server go back to my table.

So I tried this place again and the food has gone wayyy downhill. They were out of quite a few items (no complaints on that, I get it and it happens) but what I did order was pretty bad. I got the fried rice with shrimp. The rice had no flavor at all and was soggy like it was boiled in butter. The shrimp were unseasoned and barely cooked. I honestly have had better shrimp and fried rice at a mall food court. For $22, pretty disappointing. My dining companions said their food was just ok. The prices aren't reflective of the quality. Hoping this place improves, maybe it was an off day. But dropping over $100 for a less than mediocre lunch is not enticing me to return soon. read more

Living in Nashville now, I only make it home to visit family in the D every few months. Meaning the restaurants I choose to eat at/try need to be picked carefully. For this trip I knew I wanted sushi. I'm a veggie sushi eater myself so finding a place that has some good vegetarian sushi options is key. Also my dad doesn't like any sushi (veggie or not) so finding a spot with alternative options was key. Blufin delivered! I would 100% recommended and come back here. My dad got the street tacos with grilled chicken and they looked awesome. Fresh crunchy radish, pickled onions and finished with cilantro... I was dying for a bite myself. My mom got the Las Vegas roll and a roll with lobster and loved both. I got the avocado/cucumber roll and the fancy vegetarian roll, which featured tempura asparagus, cream cheese, avocado, a few other Asian veggies and was topped with a spicy sauce that left a kick in your mouth. Sooo good!! Sat outside on the patio, great service, and fun people watching. Check on Blufin for yourself! They also had a very unique Asian drink you drop a shot into. I didn't try this time but would be intrigued to next time. read more

Blufin is a decent but nowhere near great sushi spot I find myself back at periodically mainly because there's little in the way of sushi options on the East side. It has great ambience, oftentimes lackadaisacal service and overpriced food. Most of the meals I've had here have been tasty but I often leave still somewhat hungry thinking about how I could have had two meals of Thai for the same cost. Or keeping it to the same type of cuisine how much I could have gotten for the same price at Noble Fish out in Clawson. I've gotten carry out here a couple times in the pandemic era and they were surpringly quick with it given that I didn't call ahead and I've been conditioned for a leisurely wait when walking through the doors of Blufin. Both times my Edamame was dry, flavorless and lacking in the saltiness I love. And that makes me salty. I don't remember the Edamame being like that when I dined here in person so I'm not sure what happened. One time I was here and my server took my plate away before I had a chance to eat my ginger. When I complained he rectified the error by bringing me what was probably a triple portion. That was pretty cool and funny but also a challenge for me as I do like my ginger but it's a bit spicy. I did finish it all though. read more

Ordered takeout from here and I really enjoyed it! Parking is mainly in the street. Staff was friendly when I went to pick up my order. I ordered a cucumber avocado roll, miso soup, and calamari. Everything tasted great. Knocking off one star because the miso soup was slightly over salted, but it was still edible. Other than that, everything was good! I am looking forward to returning and trying out more menu items. read more

Wow!!! What a place! Beautiful restaurant! Extensive menu! I ordered the Asian Caesar and it was the absolute best Caesar I've ever had! Even hubs loved it after his sushi! Our server was so attentive! Can't wait to go back! read more

As a Grosse Pointe resident, I generally hate our food options. We're the land of $20 mediocre burgers and gastropubs that can't get a grip on the concept they want to execute. Blufin has some similar Grosse Pointe hangups. While the ambiance is alright, it's nothing special. The service is decent. The drinks are okay. Some of the menu items are just okay, but nothing is particularly bad. With all that said, I absolutely love Blufin. I love the high shelved bowls that I can get a $6 delicious serving of fried oreos in. I do not at all feel ripped off spending $26 to get the Mongolian beef with fried rice. It is the best damn Mongolian beef I have ever had. There's days where the sushi is just standardly decent, and there are days where it's easily slotted into the top 3 for metro-Detroit. There are some menu items where "the margins aren't adding up," as they say. Like it feels weird as hell to spend $6 on a fantastic desert and spend $17 for 3 nicely decorated wonton crackers. Ultimately, I don't really care. The food is generally great and menu items that hit are in leagues beyond what most of this area has to offer. read more

I always love the staff coming in to this place. And it happens to be our first time having a meal at the end of summer 2023. Like I said, the waitress was phenomenal, naturally comfortable working with the public. Very good at her job. Lovely talking with her. We split a few menu items. He did most of the sushi ordering, but I do remember, I opted for the Mongolian sushi. We both loved that. The Mongolian beef dish is also very well. Done. My absolute favorite part (besides, the cocktails and company) was my personal favorite appetizer, crab Rangoon. Although I have to say, I am usually disappointed by the quality of the crab Rangoon at most most of the restaurants that do carry . This one, WOW! It blew me away. I never thought crab Rangoon could be done in a "gourmet fashion" if you will, but they nailed it. The raspberry sauce was delicious. Presentation beautiful. Lastly, I can say, both myself, and my date would give the entire experience five stars. The meal, service, and ambience. Oh can't forget the cocktails... The cocktails were fabulous IMHO. My date tried one of their menu craft cocktails and was pleased. I of course did my old standby which is a cosmopolitan. Believe me some places can screw this up. But I digress, they did not! Thank goodness. read more

This place was excellent we got there an less than an hour before close. I don't like to do that but we were starving and the staff was were kind enough to us in and dine there. They didn't rush us and didn't mind us taking our time. The sushi was so fresh and so delicious the cocktails were beautiful a refreshing the watermelon was unique one I enjoyed my mango champagne cocktail. I have shellfish allergies and they made very sure that I would be fine and that I was very safe to eat there. Excellent place I will go back read more

bluefin Sushi in Grosse Pointe, MI. Family of four out to dinner on a Saturday and we are offered a seat outside on an empty patio by ourselves on a snowy night, burrr. We politely waited 15 minutes for a table inside and were seated bar side with everyone else. We ordered two cucumber martini's that were so sour it made our lips pucker, glad there was ice water. Dinner arrived quickly served by a food runner however the waitress failed to give us enough chop sticks so my husband had to eat the fish with his fingers, (mind you he's the one paying for the meal) then half way into dinner the waitress returns to tell us that our crab rangoon was not added to the bill because it was forgotten by the kitchen leaving us feeling disappointed, and lastly after dessert when clearing the two ice cream bowls from the table it landed on my 11 year old's expensive LuLueLemon trashing her Jacket that was hanging on the back of her chair she was sitting in. Never have I had food spilled on us in a restaurant, poor service. read more

We entered the restaurant and employees walked around us for at least 5 minutes without saying a word to us. The manager finally came out and greeted us. He was a nice guy. The waitress was not great. My wife asked for the waitress to cook the fish on her salad, I was able to eat my whole meal before the food came back. The food was good. I will give this place another chance someday. It's a nice place but there is your typical poor service. read more

Okay food, but the price doesn't reflect the quality nor the quantity. The inside is nice but the margins dont add up

Staff was nice. This place was a huge disappointment, first started with the edamame, usually when you order edamame at a restaurant they are fresh and steamed, Blufin serves frozen heavily covered in salt in a paper coffee cup. Sushi was ok but the fish components seems to be on the warmer side, or maybe it was because it took over 45 min to get 3 rolls delivered to the table and it just sat out. This place was such a let down and had me thinking Kroger sushi would have been the better option. read more
