    Very good all you can eat sushi spot. The food is very fresh and delicious. The only reason I took off 1 star was because of the slot service but other than that it's a nice spot where you can have a variety of sushi and other dishes to try.

    Been back a couple times since my original review and consistently have good food and great service. Prices have gone up a couple bucks but what hasn't. Also worth noting that on and around holidays they have all day dinner menus/pricing now.

    Did someone say all you can eat sushi?! I'm not going to lie, I was weary of this place at first thinking the sushi can't be that great if it's all you can eat. But wow, the food here is so good! Not the best sushi I've ever had, but for the price - let's just say I'm a regular now lol. From the outside, it is a bit hard to find and looks a little bit sketchy but I promise it's worth the visit. Don't let the exterior fool you! I've always had speedy service and the waiters are very helpful.

    Visited Kintaro with my daughter after her volleyball tournament. She loves sushi, so that's what we ordered. We started off with some edamame, which was perfect. The waiter told us the sushi rolls come with four to six pieces of sushi. Judging by that, we both requested three sushi rolls of varying types. A lot of their sushi is the same, but it might have one ingredient that is different. I also requested a Sierra Mist, but when I received it, it tasted like carbonated water. So it was lacking syrup. I notified the waiter and someone adjusted the balance of syrup and carbonation. When I tasted the new glass of Sierra Mist, it had too much sytrup in it, but it was tolerable. After a while, our six sushi rolls were delivered. Instead of six pieces of sushi in each roll, there were eight pieces. They looked very appetizing and they were very tasty. I enjoyed the spicy variants, but I've had better sushi. We weren't able to eat it all, however. So we requested to take what was left to go. Oddly, they charged us extra to take our leftovers home with us. What were they going to do with it, throw it away? I've never heard of that before. It wasn't a buffet. Our sushi was requested from the menu. For $75, I guess I expected more from this visit, but we didn't get more. My daughter said, "Well, we'll just to have to order less next time." And I replied, "There won't be a next time".

    I'm going to be honest, I've read all the reviews about this restaurant because I was really interested in looking for a decent Japanese restaurant that's fairly close to me and I almost didn't go based on some of the low rated reviews I read. What caught me off guard was being charged for food waste and I didn't fully understand until I actually went and got hot pot today. While I finished all my food and didn't waste anything, I understand why there's a charge. So here's the thing people: you can't order a ton of food and then sit there and not eat it because it's a huge waste, know what you're able to eat . It is perfectly valid for you to get charged for wasting a bunch of food if your eyes are bigger than your stomach. That is absolutely a "you" problem. I'm glad I decided to see for myself and go to this establishment. I had a great time for my birthday, 10/10 would go again. The ambience was very nice as well. Bonus: Service was great and accommodating.

    We'll decided to pop in the place is empty. Not great when ordering sushi maybe it's early. Only thing I can say is I so hope the 2 rolls I ordered are good. The hostess or waitress who is at the front it miserable. Makes me not want to come back. We'll just tasting my food. I will not return. What they described is not what I got. The 2 things I ordered where because I love tobiko. Thought about adding extra but figured I'd just try regular. There is not one drop of tobiko on either roll. I wouldn't bother. Not even willing to finish my food.

    This was my first visit to Bluefin, I've driven past, numerous times, but never stopped before this…read morevisit. My daughter and I visited around 8PM on Friday evening. The restaurantvwas a little more casual than I envisioned, but we were seated right away. The hostess/server took our order and our entrees arrived a short time later. We each ordered the bento box dinner. I ordered shrimp, my daughter ordered chicken. Each bento box comes with soup, salad, protein of choice, vegetables, noodles or rice, California sushi roll and 2 mini spring rolls, for just a little over $20. The serving was more than generous, the soup was a nice starter, the salad was crisp & fresh, nicely dressed with a tasty ginger dressing. The actual meal was very good, the veggies, were fresh, and perfectly cooked, along with our protein. The noodles were a little more cooked than I would have liked, I'd probably get fried rice the next time. The sushi roll was tasty, as was the spring rolls. Lots of value for the amount paid, I will return!

    This restaurant is overhyped. There was one girl running the front counter, taking orders, and…read moremaking drinks at the bar. The service before placing our order and after was virtually non-existent. The food came out quickly after ordering. The appetizers were nice. Light and crispy crab Rangoon and vegetable spring rolls. The ginger salad dressing was tasty. All of the sauces were thin and watery. The food itself was a bit on the bland side, if I'm being frank. We all got steak hibachi. The sushi was the star of the show. Go there for the sushi, if anything. Super fresh and tasty. I'm glad to have tried this restaurant, but I can't say I'd be going back anytime soon. The bathrooms were very clean, though. The ambiance quickly turned sour. It became an absolute ZOO at 5:30 on a Saturday. The tiny front lobby was piling up quickly. Karen had a scowl on her face. The music was obnoxiously loud, crappy 90s style. (Take it down about 20% there, chief!) It was like a nightmare loop, and I was glad to leave! For now, I'm going to stick with going to a more relaxed hibachi called Maki in Diamond Center. Thanks, anyway.
