09/08/16: 4.5 out 5 - This place use to be Blue Fun Sushi, which I never have been. However, having the opportunity to try Nori Sushi, the place has a somewhat modern look. Maybe the place has always had this look, but I can say, the least, it was clean (bathrooms, too).
The service was attentive which is a plus compared to many establishments today. The nigiri and the rolls were very tasty. Well worth trying a variety of dishes.
I would definitely suggest trying this place once and decide for yourself.
To be honest, I didn't expect much from Blue Fin. They're located in a small little building, easy to miss, right off 82nd. The place was pretty empty when i went as well. However, I ordered the teriyaki steak, and it was probably some of the best steak I've eaten at a non-steak restaurant. The steak was perfectly cooked at medium rare, and the sauce accompanying it was amazing as well. The sushi was decent, but not as good as the steak.
I have been there twice so far. Both times the food was amazing. The price is very fair for what you get in my opinion. The service from the hostess/waitress was terrible the first time. She showed me to a seat and brought me water right away. I sat ready to order for over fifteen minutes (I should have said something verbally) I ended up holding my menu selection in my hand and looking right at her and she still didn't come take it. The chef observed that I was ready and took my order and he handed me my food. The waitress darted around the other side of the small room avoiding filling my glass. It was the same song and dance when it came time to pay. The chef got a tip but not the waitress. There were three other people there and it was noon. The second time I went in I was the only person at 2 p.m. The waitress was very quick to take my order this time. Before my food came she asked if she could close out my ticket because she was going home. I let her and tipped her because that was a huge improvement. This time too the chef handed me my food. He also got a tip. Overall, I will go back but I will continue to look for my favorite place.
