Editorial Review for Blowfish Sushi To Die For – by Wendy Weiden
The Scene
Japanese anime merges with SF-style grungy chic in this hard-edged hipster spot. Scenes from futuristic films flash on the flat screen behind a trio of punked-out sushi chefs at the bar, while those in the dining room huddle close--squinting to see their food and trying to catch a word between the techno beats.
The Food
Cleverly named, somewhat strange combinations are the menu's specialty. Appetizers, such as the pyramid of salmon and tuna tartares, taste as good as it looks. There's also thinly sliced, ponzu-sauced Halibut Bouquet. Head for the Spider Maki--a pleasingly plump, crispy rendition of the classic. The artfully prepared rolls make a pleasant meal, whether a traditional spicy tuna rendition or a trendy Super Dynamite stuffed with lightly fried yellowtail, albacore, salmon, scallion and chili sauce.

Be prepared for a rather loud atmosphere with annoying Japanese Anime showing on TVs throughout the restaurant. For those with A.D.D., watch out, you'll be staring at TVs all night! The restaurant is small, we chose to sit in the bar area at mini tables. People were brushing by our table all night. The menu had some great items on it. We had a great tasting Kobe Carpaccio, the ponzu foam was a bit tasteless though. The rolls were portioned well and their sashimi combination came in an oversized martini glass. Wide variety of drinks on the menu, our favorite was the hot plum sakes with lemon and a cinnamon stick.
Pros: Original sushi and roll combinations, great drink menu
Cons: Loud, silly Japanese Anime playing on all TVs

I heard about this place one too many times so my date and I decided to finally try it out. We went on a Friday night and we had a wonderful experience. Very hip restaurant and the food was excellent. The fish was so fresh that it melted in my mouth. The service was unexpectedly good too. I had read some reviews that said the service was poor so I was pleasantly surprised to find that our waitress was on her game. Very timely with drinks and dinner. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for some really delicious creative drinks and Sushi.
