Bluefin Sushi & Gin — Restaurant in Aarhus Municipality

Food took extremely long time to come. From the time of our reservation, we didn’t even receive sushi within the first hour of being there (and we placed the order before we even received our starters as they also took a long time). When asking the waitress why it took so long, she said it was because we had placed a big order and that it would come altogether (40 pieces is not a big order)! Once paying the bill we got accused of leaving 4 pieces even though we only left 3 (which is allowed). When saying this, the same waitress looked at us suspiciously and asked if we were sure as she had just checked (even though this is false). Ultimately she gave in and accepted the fact that we had only left 3 and didn’t charge us for the extra. I hope she went back to the table and saw the truth and felt guilty. Bad experience - it wasn’t our first time there but it was...

Fra besøg 05.11.20: 3 stjerner Ualmindelig lang ventetid! Første runde (halvstor ordre) kom efter 45-60 minutter, hvor restauranten var halvtom. Anden runde (lille ordre) kom ligeledes efter 50 minutter. Der er noget helt galt i deres arbejdsfordeling - én tjener som rendte rundt. Mad der havde stået på serveringsbord blev ikke serveret først. Andet mad stod længe færdig ved produktion uden lige at komme til serveringsbordet. Maden var fin - enkelte svipsere i forhold til bestilt mængde, manglende stykker og forkerte stykker. Det ene bræt sejlede (!) i hvidløgsolie. Gyozaerne var så voldsomt varme, og formentlig friturestegt og varmet i mikrobølgeovn. Kombinationerne af rullerne var dog meget spændende og anderledes fra de øvrige steder i byen. Det er bare hamrende ærgerligt at stemningen og serveringen gør den overordnede oplevelse så middel.

Fra besøg 22.01.20: 3 stjerner Stadig god og flot sushi. Men fortsat ualmindelig lang ventetid - denne gang ikke på sushien men på drikkevarerne. Deres Hamborg-drink er vildt god, men det er lang tid at vente en halv time på det. Risene var meget forskelligartede denne gang. Første portion var fuldstændig uden nogen smag, en portion havde kogt alt for lidt, sidste portion var alt for salt. Det holder ikke helt med så stor varians. Spændende at man kan bygge sin egen rulle. Fik at vide isen var lakrids - det var kakaosmag 😅 stadig godt, men stadig mange små ting der kan rettes til.

Fra første besøg i juli: 4 stjerner Virkelig god sushi! Flot pyntet :) lækre drinks til en god pris, virkelig gode (og store) desserter. Eneste lille minus var at tilberedningen tog meget, meget lang tid. Klart i toppen af sushisteder i byen - specielt når de små ting lige bliver finjusteret 👌🏻

Senest besøg - 31.01.22: 3 stjerner Ventetiden er blevet bedre. Sushien er markant mindre fin nu, end tidligere. Der kræses meget mindre om præsentation og formning af ruller. Nu er sushien ca bare som alt andet i byen. Dog med flere spændende ruller end mange andre steder (deres veggies er faktisk deres bedste ruller). Sushien var over all ok. Glemte lidt hist og her. Deres flambering var dog helt af H til. Laksen lignede den var blevet kogt på den ene side, så både smag og konsistent var ret dårlig. Både laks tataki og flamberet så sådan ud (jeg tænker deres brænder har været for kold, og derfor har kogt/tilberedt frem for brændt). Desserten er blevet som alle andre steder også - en panna cotta med sauce på. I det her tilfælde knap så godt ramt i konsistens og smag.

Lokaler og drinks er fortsat hyggeligt, men jeg tvivler på vi gider give dem...

Wow, the sushi was amazing. The servers were incredibly nice and the overall impression was really good. I really liked their design of the restaurant as well. The only reason I give them 4 instead of 5 stars, is because of the waiting time. Especially the first serving took quite a while, and after an hour we had only gotten two servings - where one of them was with (presumably already-made) starters. There was a bit of waiting time for the rest of the servings as well, but that was a lot less. Luckily, the taste was amazing, but especially in the beginning that was also a bit frustrating as we were really hungry. But overall, we will definitely be coming back. They had some pieces with duck that made all the wait worth it and their cooks seem to really understand flavours and quality. Further, the price for everything (drinks included!)...
