Blufish is consistently good. My recent visit was no exception. Sometimes, I like to mix it up and get one of their bento boxes. Their lunch bentos are an amazing value. It has a nice mix of a miso soup or salad, spicy tuna or California roll, and crab rangoons, fried rice, veggies and protein. Service is always great! It's why we always come here for sushi.
So much cozier with a more relaxed vibe than the Vernon Hills Location. Our waitress was respectful while my cousins and lil brother caught up and the edamamae and sushi was delicious.
Came here for a work lunch and absolutely loved everything we ordered! The place is easy to find, well lit and very clean. It looks modern and inviting, and we sat in a comfy booth to the side. It filled up pretty quickly for lunchtime after we sat down. We tried the edamame appetizer as well as another appetizer that I can't remember, but both of them were absolutely delicious, and then I tried the sushi combination B, which they let me sub the roll for a rainbow dragon roll, which was very nice of them It was so delicious and fresh, the flavor combinations and fish quality for the price can't be beat. It was a successful work lunch thanks to everyone's full bellies and I will totally come back soon!
It's been a years since I reviewed BluFish. I really enjoy visiting. We had reservations and were seated immediately. For the first time, we sat outside. It was a beautiful day. The service was also fantastic. We were greeted right away with bottled water and an offer for drinks. One of us had wine, and the rest of us had soft drinks. The menu is quite extensive - ranging from Japanese standards to Sushi. There were four of us and we ordered a variety of Maki rolls and Nigiri. Everything was delicious. BluFish is one of the better sushi restaurants in the north suburbs and one your should try if you've not been there before.
I have heard about BluFish Sushi for a long time, but we had another go-to Japanese restaurant in Northbrook that my beloved late mother loved, and we used to go there with her every weekend for more than 15 years before the pandemic, so going to another restaurant with a similar menu did not interest me. However, since fellow Yelp Elite friend Howard L. recommended BluFish to me, I had mentally put it on my to-try list for a while. Recently, both my husband and I decided to give it a try, and it did live up to the hype! Although the restaurant looked smaller in real life, it was chic and modern looking. We made a reservation for 2 on the same day on a Wednesday, a couple of popular time slots had been filled. When we went at 6:00 pm, the restaurant was bustling. We were promptly led to a 2-person table in the open dining room. My seat had the nice view of the sushi-making station, which was super busy. There was an area with all high-back booths, which seated 4 each. Our area was quite loud, fortunately, my husband and I could still hear each other. Our server, Kassie, was very pleasant, sweet, knowledgeable, and attentive. She truly contributed a lot to a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. For appetizer, I was going to order Crab Cakes, but changed my mind after learning that even with the wasabi sauce put on the side, the crab cakes would still be spicy hot. I ordered an order of Takoyai ($9)(six pieces) instead and shared that with my husband. It came out piping hot and was cooked just right, with a light and crispy skin and perfect texture. Just delicious! My husband ordered a Chilean Seabass entrée ($36) which had a generous portion. I was interested in getting some sushi rolls. You can pick long or short. Kassie answered my question that long was about 8 to 10 pieces, while short being 5 to 6 pieces. I ordered one long and one short to get some more variety, understanding that it would be too much food for the two of us. I ordered the long Green Turtle ($18) -- one of my all-time favorites, and a short Smoky Bear ($14). Everything was delicious, even though my husband said that the seabass was slightly overcooked. The ratio of sushi rice to the other ingredients was perfect, and all of that were fresh, tasty and balanced well. I have recommended BluFish to my other family members and relatives. We will definitely be coming back. I would be happy to try more different sushi rolls from their extensive menu.
Love finding a good sushi lunch deal that has great prices + quality! Solid option for the Chicago suburbs. It was surprisingly busy for a week day lunch hour, but we got seated quick. Our server was very friendly and everything came out quick!
We went yesterday for a girls night out. Our server was fabulous and was very attentive. I would say some of the fish were a bit fishy for us but the sashimi salad, crispy tuna, soft shell crab, and the drink were great. I would for sure get the seaweed sashimi salad again if I come back. The dining experience and ambiance was good as well. They were well decorated.
I came in to Blufish for lunch and was so happy that they still have their lunch specials! I went with the salmon bento which comes with fried rice, crab rangoon, and your choice of California or spicy tuna maki. It was all very delicious and I love how their make their California rolls here. Blufish has a trendy vibe and plays what sounds like club music, even during a workday lunch. Everyone from the hostesses, servers, and bussers were very friendly. Food came out fast, but it was a bit of a long wait to settle our bill. One note, there is a large parking lot at this plaza, but finding a spot close to the restaurant during lunch on a weekday was difficult.
Bluefish never disappoints! It's always fresh and delicious with so many choices on the menu. I love their blazing Hamachi roll and lychee martini! Great service and ambience!
I can see this place is very popular, it was absolutely packed. It's not for us however. As the name would suggest, it's a sushi place, but the sushi wasn't right. The sashimi was too thick, the rice for the rolls didn't quite work. When we would ask the server to remove our plates that were essentially untouched, he never asked if there was anything wrong, and we didn't bother complaining. The tempura udon soup was perfect however, it's a standard to inspire to for the restaurant. We won't return to be honest. But objectively the ambiance is great, and the servers do try hard to ensure you have a good experience. They do seem understaffed and somewhat overwhelmed however.
Came for a light lunch and left stuffed! Can't go wrong with the crispy rice spicy tuna and the caterpillar rolls is always a go to. Fried rice is a huge portion and always a crowd favorite.
I do love the ambience at this restaurant, but my experience was not the best. Although friendly, our server was inattentive and made multiple mistakes. It also took a long time to get our food even though the restaurant was not busy. (Of course I understand there may have been a lot of carryouts.) I asked what the vegan options were and because I didn't want to have any maki, I decided to try the spicy tofu steak. I was told that the sauce was not vegan but still ordered the dish. When it finally arrived, I was disappointed that there was no sauce of any kind on it at all. It was extremely plain. I ended up putting soy sauce on it which made it better, but definitely not anything to rave about. Also, the miso soup was fish based so I couldn't eat that. If I come back, I will try the maki.
They are so quick with the food prep - which was perfect for delivery! I got their spicy fresh scallop roll, yellowtail roll, and California sunset roll. These rolls are LARGE and are so filling! However, the yellowfin roll didn't taste great. On the other hand, the spicy fresh scallop roll was so good, but I didn't love the snow crab filling for the California sunset roll. I typically adore snow crab, so this was a let down. Since the highs were high for the spicy fresh scallop roll, but the lows were pretty low, I had to average out this rating to 3 stars.
ordered delivery via uber eats and got the sexy lady, crazy dragon, and smoky bear. note i ate a piece each of the first two before i took a pic because i was hungry! all were tasty but my favorite was the crazy dragon. 2nd fav has to go to the smoky bear. i dipped them in soy sauce/wasabi but i honestly think it would've been good without the dipping. the rolls look small but they were surprisingly filling. my husband and i split this and i was full eating my half (minus one piece). definitely will order from here whenever i am craving sushi and feel like dropping $60 :,) read more

In the area and happen to hear good things about this place unfortunately was not impressed . Started out well immediately being seated at 12 pm in the afternoon was not packed but steady. After being seated waited a long 15 minutes before being noticed and ready to order . Enjoyed the ambience , food did not impress me but I will say the miso Soup that is not pictured hit the spot and service was okay. I think I ll try again another time . read more

This is by far my favorite place for sushi on the North Shore. You can add black rice to any roll. Their hot sake is delicious and not expensive at all. You keep coming back for the food and the atmosphere. We went to your on a Sunday night, and it was packed.!!!! read more

A hidden gem in Plaza del Prada. Just west of Costco in Glenview but tucked away in the southwest corner of the plaza. Beautiful décor and very calming environment. Everything smelled fresh and clean. I usually try to dine for sushi on Wednesdays because there's usually a shipment that very day. I did start with a Blufish martini with Beluga vodka, blue curaçao lychee liqueur and lychee juice, smooth and delightful. For the appetizer we started with Sautéed shishito peppers that was seasoned and spicy, delicious. My girlfriend had the Blazing hamachi roll short, a perfect size for her. I thoroughly enjoyed the 9 piece sashimi platter that came with a house salad and miso soup. I'm so glad I didn't get the 12 piece because the pieces were huge and it's basically double the size of other restaurants and I was right about deliveries. The fish was super fresh and fabulous. I enjoyed every little bite! I love the beautifully tall booths that give you more privacy and the restaurant was spotless as was the restrooms. The server that evening was very pleasant and friendly and he was very knowledgeable about the menu and he didn't mind we were lingering over our recent dramas. It was a great evening and I will be back. read more

Blufish is a hot spot for sushi in the burbs and with good reason! We love it here. The food is always fresh and delicious. They also remodeled inside and while some of the decor looks pretty garish imo, I still think it's def an upgrade and some ppl might enjoy the way it looks. So one thing to always remember is to CALL TO MAKE RESERVATIONS. I thought I'd made reservations on Opentable, but apparently this location only takes reservations by phone and I'd made reservations at the wrong location by accident. I wish this location would go back on Opentable as it's def the easiest and quickest way to make resos. Thankfully, they still let us sit pretty quickly. I was starvin Marvin and I told our server that and he brought out all our food at rapid fire speed. That server man RULES!! I wish I'd gotten his name, but he had a European accent, if that helps lol he deserves major props that's fsho. I will be back as this is the spot I will always go to for my sushi cravings while in the burbs! Parking is also never a problem as it's located inside Plaza del Prado. As for the food, their salad in the crispy shell is my favorite. I also got a ton of nigiri that was fresh and delicious. Their cooked dishes are bomb as well. Everything here is so yummy!! read more
What a lovely dinner we had here. I was impressed by the friendly and attentive service and the quality of the dishes. Here's what I loved: Veggie Gyoza Blazing Hamachi Yellowtail Sashimi House Salad They have a patio with heaters, so I'm excited to return and sit outside. read more

I'm giving BluFish 2 stars. Maybe I'm being too nice. But I was hopeful for our visit last night. It has good reviews, and everyone there looked to be having a great time. The ambiance is really nice and trendy. But things went wrong from the start. There was a wait for everything. Now in today's restaurant climate, that's normal, so I won't knock it too much. But while waiting at the bar for a table, I ordered a drink, but while ordering, this very rude woman stole the bartender and ordered a plethora of things. Shame on the bartender for even acknowledging her while I'm MID ORDER. (Note: they had a nice selection of Japanese whiskey). We finally get to our table and there's a little wait to see our waiter. We put some appetizers in and wait some more. 20min later they come out. Scallops and shumai. The scallops were.....small to say the least. They were dime size. Really silly. Especially for a nice appearing place like Bluefish. I would've just taken them off the menu if they can't get traditionally larger scallops. Shumai however, was very good at least. We put our dinner orders in, and waited....another 20min at least. Waiter comes back and says my partner's order of tuna was out for the night. Need to order something else. Another 10min later, the food comes, and my order is completely wrong. After sitting there for over an hour, this place was a bust. In hindsight, the waiter, who definitely looked green, didn't write any of our orders down. I know, I know, the restaurant industry is struggling with staff and pay, but if you're not a pro yet, write your orders down! We decided to just leave after that, mostly hungry. We didn't have time sit around another hour to get food corrected. The waiter was very apologetic about it and owned up to the mistake, and we just paid for what we actually consumed. Total bust. But I'm sure that's not an experience normally had from Blufish. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Maybe the consistency is off and we got the very short end of the skewer. We certainly won't be going back, but I guess I won't discourage anyone else from trying them out. read more

Me and my friends went to this place on Friday and we have got food poisoning , it was so bad that we went with my husband to the urgent care. Then I told my other friend about this case and she said that she was also there last week and she was served rotten fish. Don't go if you don't want to be poisoned! read more

Came here for lunch and it was excellent! The ambiance and service were excellent and they have the cutest little patio to sit on if it's a nice day! If it's not a nice day, don't worry the inside is gorgeous! The food is nicely presented and the taste was beyond my expectations. read more
Went on a Wednesday for dinner and they close with a hard stop at 9:30 pm. Sat at the sushi counter and was a little overwhelmed by how big the menu was. COCKTAIL: Blufish Martini Vodka, blue curacao, lychee liqueur, triple sec *extremely sweet sugary drink, it reminded me of blue cotton candy, I had to down it before the food arrived FAVORITES: Truffle Yuzu Salmon $14 Salmon, truffle yuzu sauce, radish sprouts *tasty with the truffle yuzu sauce but the radish sprouts were a little overpowering for the dish, spicy flavor like arugula Spicy Tataki $12 Seared spicy tuna, soft shelled crab, cucumber, avocado, spicy mayo, chili tobiko, chili oil, eel sauce *this roll had a little bit of everything, I wish I had gotten the bigger roll for $17 TERRIBLE: O-Toro Tuna Nigiri MP *fatty but super chewy, tasted like low quality Sea Urchin Nigiri MP *big portion of uni but slimy, did not taste fresh Spicy Fresh Scallop Maki $12 *mushy roll, disgusting, did not eat SERVICE: She was attentive but I was also her only customer. While I was waiting for my Uber I noticed a woman get up from her table with two empty martini glasses to request refills from her server. Her server was busy chatting it up with the bartenders. Then the server told her that they were no longer serving alcohol. Uh awkward. So 9:30 pm is no joke there. I would not come back but it was worth a visit while in town. read more

MY FAVORITE sushi place in all of Chicago area. Mouth watering, fresh, delish. No other place. Worth a drive from downtown!!! My fave rolls are ocean drive, mango madness, sexy lady, dirty old man, habachi .... Thanks for making amaaazing Sushi! read more
Had a great time here! Went with a couple of friends on a Thursday evening, and it was pretty full. I would definitely recommend calling ahead for a reservation. We were seated in a nice, clean booth and soon as we got there, and we didn't wait long to get our drinks. They were strong and tasty, and one was good to go with the dinner. We each got a few rolls each, and some appetizers. The truffle yuzu salmon was one of the best things I've ever tasted, and the sauce was incredible. Will definitely come back for more. My only complaint is that because they had the front windows doors and patio windows open, and it was a steamy day, the mosquitos got in and I got bitten a few times, despite sitting inside. However, that doesn't deter me from coming back. read more

Love this place! Fresh sushi! Great atmosphere, great vibe and lunch prices can't be beat. Food is delish! Came here again last night on a very busy Saturday night around 8 with no reservations (it was a duh moment). Nevertheless, the host said all they had at the moment was a high top at the bar. We said yup! Service was still very good and the bar was actually really fun! Started with drinks of course, their fantastic house salad with the best ginger salad ever and shrimp and veg tempura. So yummy. We then ordered a whole bunch of maki sushi and they were all so fresh and delicious! Go! read more

In my opinion BluFish wins for the best sushi on the Northshore. Their sushi is consistently good, fresh, and service is always friendly and attentive. The indoor restaurant is beautiful. My favorite sushi from BluFish is a maki roll called Salmon Obsession. I always order the long roll with black rice and without cream cheese. The sushi is so good that I never have to reach for the soy sauce because it's perfect the way it is. I am 100% sure that everything on BluFish's menu is delicious. read more

Came here with my family and they were great. The staff was very nice and accommodating as we ate past 2 pm which is when they closed. I also happy to see how they were scrubbing down the booths making me feel that this place was making the effort to keep the place clean and stop the spread of covid. The food was delicious and fresh. I had the tuna seaweed salad and spicy tuna in the side. They give such big portions, I was stuffed after eating the salad. would come back! P.s : I also enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken that comes with the lunch meals! read more

I've gone here twice like two to three years ago and last year. Both are different locations, but they were amazing. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any other pictures that I can show what I've got to eat because I changed my phone. But this restaurant is worth 120% to go and try and go back. The food was fantastic that I still haven't found any good or better restaurants in the places where I lived before and currently live. People were nice and moving efficiently. No need to wait--you may need to wait to he seated if it's Friday or Saturday like busy hours. They are always busy to be honest--and they will understand what you can't take or you would like to try if you tell servers your preferences. This is amazing place that I just wanna go and eat right now. read more

Lovely decor, delicious food, friendly service. We came here after learning Blufish Park Ridge is not Open for lunch on Saturday. I love the Beto box lunch, and learned that it is only served Mon - Fri, so I ordered the bento dinner. It was HUGE! Delicious sushi, tempura shrimp and veggies, miso soup, salad, rice and salmon. It was my only meal for the day and I brought leftovers home. The presentation of the meal was pleasing to the eye, as well as the palette. read more
