I definitely recommend sitting in the bar area. It has such a great vibe in the bartenders are very exceptional in their service! The food is delicious and the semi shuffle make almost anything to order as well which is different than many places, so this is a fantastic place to eat if you need one!!!
I've had sushi at Nobu and Matsuhisa; at the Tokyo fish market; in Kobe and Manhattan; and at Katsuya in the San Fernando Valley where it all began. Alfred, a proud Mexican chef who has mastered Japanese cuisine, holds his own with all of them. This attractive sushi bar sits inauspiciously in a strip mall. Who knew a true artist could be found behind the sushi bar. I found him by accident on a business trip, and have come back expressly to have dinner with him. No idea how he sources such excellent fish but he does and then creates. Not to be missed if you find yourself within a days drive.
I have always wanted to try this place and yesterday was the day. What a great experience. The food was DELICIOUS, the service was fantastic and the restaurant is so pretty. We ordered the miso soup (best we ever had), the lobster mega roll and the baked crab roll. Everything was top notch. If you are looking for fresh sushi this is the place to go. The blue fish will now be our go to place.
We came in and sat at the sushi bar. I was wowed by the restaurants upstairs and downstairs. Alfredo at the sushi bar was wonderful sushi chef. Will definitely come back.
Thanks chef for the great experience, food was super tasty, we really have the best experience ever in sushi and sashimi
The chef was very friendly when I spoke to him on the phone. We came in that afternoon and enjoyed a light dinner and drinks with them. Our waiter was very helpful and attentive. I had the uni ( my favorite) and hard to find where we live. My wife had King salmon, a first for her. We split the edamame, and as a surprise the chef came out with two hand rolls-tacos, that were unbelievably good and unique. The nori was covered in plastic that you removed right before you ate it to keep the nori crispy. We were both surprised how good they were. And to top that all they were on the house. Another stand out item is their pickled wasabi, a first for us, and very good. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in plato. Keep up the good work.
Let me start off saying today was a great day for blue fish with such business they had going on . We had a great sushi chef named Santiago take out order and serve us and help us with whatever we needed and we didn’t mind that they were short staffed because they were working as a great team to make their customers happy. Thanks to Chef Santiago we had a great experience and i hope this wonderful gentleman gets taken care of for being such a great help. We’ll definitely be going back and bringing family very soon thanks again Blue team and Chef Santiago!
I’ve been to this location before but the bar service was way better this time thanks to Leon. He really makes you feel like a regular from day one. Food is always solid and happy hour is great but I’d come here again just to hang out at the bar.
