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.
Wow, Wow, Wow. For the last 3 months, I have dined here at least 7 times with family and friends all very happy and leaving with full bellies of nice quality foods. Having experienced both the lunch specials along with the rolls and even dinner entrees, you truly can't go wrong with someplace like Blufish. The lunch special is for sure a standout served Monday - Friday with items being around 20 bucks after tax. In my opinion, great deal!! Not only do you get the main, but you also get a spicy tuna roll, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken with soup or salad. Everything is pretty good on the lunch with my only critique that the entree meat is on the smaller side. It is though made up by the quantity of items served with. My only other ask is if we can get the recipe for the dressing?! From all the Japanese restaurants we have tried in the Chicagoland area, their dressing is by far a favorite of ours. We have tried a few of the rolls but they are just okay. Not one has completely stood out to us, but it is possible we just aren't ordering good ones. Dragons were nice but the mozzarella one was a little off putting as the cheese wasn't melted. As for the best quality item to get here is always the sashimi lunch / dinner. The raw fish always tastes super fresh and for a good price you get so many pieces. I do wish sometimes I knew what I was eating :) BluFish is located in strip mall with ample parking and outdoor seating. Generally, services has always been good for the served, but the bartender is a huge standout. My only negative experience would be from the host who was quite off putting on a Saturday afternoon. There are more positive ways to greet guests and she did not do that. The restaurant was also empty at that time and I don't think having a small quiet puppy in its carrier is an issue... All in all it's a nice place. Best of the 4 locations I believe that they have. Check them out! Grade : A read more

We had to make one of our "the coast is clear" family dinners a dine in Blufish night! We've been enjoying carry out for two years and really enjoyed experiencing the terrific service, ambiance, and of course, the food again. While we were waiting for our table, it was nice to watch some of the NCAA hoops action at the bar. Our Wakame salad and miso soup apps came out quickly and the main courses of assorted makis and the salmon entree was enjoyed by all. A very nice touch bringing our birthday girl ice cream with a candle. Life feels normal again at Blufish! read more

Wowwwwww! My friend and I wanted sushi but we aren't from the area and found this place online. Seriously it was SOOO good. Our server (unfortunately forget his name) was super nice, fast, and made sure we had everything we needed. The best sushi I had in a long time. Everything was super fresh. The house salad was delicious. Miso soup wasn't too salty. Drinks were so refreshing. I would definitely drive far to come to this place again. read more

Blufish is really good! The service is amazing, ambiance is wonderful, and food is solid. The moment I walked in I was just enchanted by the huge chandeliers and beautiful tables. They really do a great job with the ambiance. Our server was very nice. Super efficient and interactive. As for the food, my party ordered the crispy rice spicy tuna, beef fried rice, gyoza, among other things. I ordered a sweet potato tempura roll. More about the food below! My friend said the crispy rice spicy tuna is phenomical. This is actually her favorite restaurant because of this dish. I am vegan so I wasn't able to try it, but it looks so good! They even put little lemon pieces in between? Very well presented. I heard the beef tataki was dry, but the sauce was apparently super good. Gyoza was solid. NY steak was amazing. Everything was super well presented. The reason for me why I am giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of 5 is that I was really underwhelmed with my own dish, the sweet potato rolls. The fried sweet potato itself was amazing, with the crunchy tempura and sweet potato. However, the ratio of rice to sweet potato was a little much. There was so much rice for so little sweet potato, so I would have probably liked it with a little less rice, and a little more sweet potato. Then I'm sure it would be a 5 star roll. Overall, wonderful restaurant, beautiful presentation and good service. I will probably come back sometime with my crispy rice fried tuna loving friend. Definitely come here if you're looking for a higher end Japanese restaurant. read more
I've ordered the seared tuna bento box for lunch from here twice now in the last couple months and both times it's been very good. The most recent time I dined in and they were very busy so it took a while for a waiter to take our orders. I got a miso soup with the box which was good. The bento box was served on a plate and everything was good. The seared tuna was very good, the vegetables it's served with are ok. The fried rice was good and the crab rangoon and spicy tuna roll was good too. read more

We went in because the other sushi restaurant that we go to got rid of most of our favorites and decided to give this place another try. When i say another, I don't want you to think i had a bad experience but because we were so used to going to other sushi spot. Anyway, coming back here made me forget why I stopped coming in the first place. The food was great and so was the ambiance. I definable would say it's a cute place for a date but i can also say it gets a bit loud in there so if youre looking for something quiet, I wouldn't recommend. We ordered the rainbow sushi (unfortunately forgot to take a pic), Jalapeño poppers and King Kong. We also ordered a virgin mojito but i think the price was a bit steep ($8) compared to other places. Would i go back? Absolutely! Do i recommend? Absolutely! Was service great? Absolutely! Did i like the parking? Absolutely NOT! Parking is so busy, that you have to park further so just beware of that. read more

First time ordering from here. Recommended by friend who said "everything is great!" Totally true. Got Udon soup, variety of maki rolls, potstickers, and crab stuffed mushroom appetizers. I tried and loved it all. Service was also great. I ordered online and accidentally forgot to delay pick up time-- called and they found my order to delay. They then called to clarify an order of salmon rolls I customized to adjust to less expensive option that was what we wanted. Also, my first time having black rice. So cool and very tasty! Even my 8 year old liked it!! Highly recommend! read more

Don't understand what all the hype is about. Low quality ingredients. I've had far better sushi. This was $17..... for like five pieces of non fresh tasting food. Maybe people just like the environment but do not recommend if you're going for the taste. Grocery store has similar tasting sushi for half the price. read more

I had really high expectations and I found my experience to be overall just OK. We tried the asparagus roll and gyoza for an appetizer, Neither were as flavorful as I was expecting. I was also expecting better sushi rolls than what we had. They were alright just not as flavorful as I was expecting and I found the fish slices to be very sickly cut. Plus the fish wasn't as cold as I normally like. read more

Ordered takeout from here and was not disappointed. Came here at about 7 pm on a Sunday night and it was busy with a short line outside. The outside patio looked really nice and would love to come back to dine outside. They have online ordering which is what we did. We got the blue Alaskan maki which at $23 (long roll) is a little pricey, but it did have REAL king crab with cucumber and avocado in the middle and real snow crab mixed with spicy mayo on top. None of the imitation crab stick. Will definitely come back for more and the outside patio! read more

Loved our meal here. We started with the veggie gyoza, which were great, and edamame, which were pretty bland. I had the house salad as my entree and it was served in a wonton bowl and had AMAZING dressing. I loved it. Added chicken for some protein and it was the perfect lunch. The outdoor patio has plenty of heaters on the ceiling which is so rare in the Chicago suburbs, so this would be my top choice on a cooler night when we want to eat outside. read more

This is my favorite sushi spot, The food is consistent and fantastic time after time. And now with the new upgraded wine list, we actually have great options to pair with the food, thank you, this was much needed enhancement. P.S. if you love cocktailing, There is a bartender by the name of Boyan you have to meet, he has wonderful suggestions and creates perfectly balanced drinks. read more

My favorite non AYCE sushi joint in the burbs. The decor is stylish and intimate making this a great place for a date night. The servers are always friendly and attentive. The sushi is fresh and beautifully plated. Almost too pretty to eat but I managed to demolish the beautiful works of art. I've had too many rolls, nigiri, sashimi plates and entrees to list. However here are two must mentions. The sunomono a Japanese seafood salad in a light citrus dressing perfect to kick your palette into sushi battle mode. Golden dragon a lobster tempura roll fully packed with flavor. I suggest getting a bottle of Oka sake for your dining experience. read more

I've tried the other locations and finally got around to experiencing the Glenview location. Don't let the strip mall location scare you away. They have outside seating when it's nice and a large indoor space. The quality and service is what I've come to expect in other locations - very good. Our server was helpful in selecting gluten free options that my girls need due to celiac. They even modified one of the rolls so that my d could have it. Options not plentiful for gf but can make it work. read more
Four stars for the well-plated sushi and yummy lychee drinks! Came here to catch up with the Bestie and I'm glad I checked this establishment out. Blufish located in a plaza off Willow and Pfingsten in Glenview/Northbrook so they have plenty of parking. Food: The food was fantastic. We shared an appetizer and sushi. The food was fresh and well-plated. I recommend the Sexy Lady roll (cue Gangnam Style- which is Korean- I'm aware) as well as their lychee drinks (they have mojitos and martinis). We shared a tuna avocado appetizer salad and I will definitely return just for that! It was perfectly crunchy with chunks of avocado and fresh slices of fish. I was not a big fan of their spicy mayo (it had a strange texture) and not the usual spiced-up sriracha-mayo I've had at other Japanese restaurants. Service: Could have been better. We came on a Sunday so it wasn't that packed. They led me to tiny table right by the door that had dried sauce on it. The table clearly needed to be cleaned more thoroughly. This changed when we asked to be switched to a bigger table with more room. Our waiter was prompt and made sure to check up on us. I would definitely recommend to come back for the yummy sushi! Notes: Make a reservation! read more
