Bluefin Sushi — Restaurant in Boca Raton

Been coming here for 8 years...something has changed...maybe it was because the owner wasn't there...maybe it's the end of snow bird season..IDK...Firstly service was aweful...our male waiter disappeared for 15 minutes...2 other groups that came 10 minutes after we did received better and quicker service by the Ladies working there. When we finally wanted to order our waiter would not let me pick the sashimi I wanted on a combo unless I paid a $7 up charge....in the past that was never a problem...the place was pretty empty.....I was disappointed and said let us look at the menu again. .he then disappeared for another 20 minutes.....the other female waitress kept looking over at us and was nice enough to come take our order...she was nice and we have had service from her before many times....so we ordered and we ordered differently since the other guy couldn't accommodate us and resulted in spending half the amount of money because it bothered me he wouldn't accommodate us. Our waitress was much better. BUT that night my wife and I both got sick 6 hours later...the worst thing that could happen at a Sushi Restaurant. Won't be coming back to this place ever. There are SO MANY other options out there for similar restaurants...getting sick from the food quality is a game changer...my wife remains pretty sick morning after....BUYER BEWARE!!!! SO...

Bluefin served me possibly the worst Japanese food I've ever eaten. Two items ordered:

The vegetable tempura appetizer. The vegetables were stale themselves, but what made it worse was that the pieces had been refried subsequent to my order after having already been fried earlier in the day. The batter was thick, greasy and tasteless.

Chirashi sushi. This contained salmon, tuna, white tuna, imitation crab and tamago. The fish was disgustingly not-fresh. I should have known better when I was the sheer quantity of certain pedestrian kinds of fish in the display case; they had three times more salmon on hand that I'd ever seen in another sushi bar display case before. The most repulsive thing about this mean is that after I'd eaten it, and begun to feel queasy, I saw the sushi chef cellophane wrap several pounds of already-cut fish. This was a clear indication that what I was eating had perhaps been cut yesterday.

This restaurant is an insult to Japanese cuisine. This could have been explained by the Thai spoken by the entire sushi staff; yes they are both Asian, but that's a little bit like saying you run a restaurant staffed by a bunch of guys from Winnipeg who make a mean ceviche. Avoid at all costs. I consider myself blessed that this meal only shot...

Like Sushi/Thai? Here you go! Hubby and I love good sushi, and these guys deliver. Fresh, healthy seafood and authentic Japanese / Thai offerings created a perfect lunch. The lunch menu is extensive and a good blend of both types of food, I want to check out the traditional Bento box lunch..yummy! Dinner menu look appealing too, lots of options for either Japanese/ sushi/sashimi and hot dishes, as well as Thai dishes.. I saw a table getting a whole Snapper that looked delicious. Besides sashimi, I’m a huge fan of Hamachi Kama, ( grilled yellowtail collar), not to be found at too many places, so when I see it on the menu, you bet I’m ordering it! It can be a crapshoot but worth it if done right.. I’ve had to return this dish more than once.. it can easily be overcooked. I’m happy to report that the chef cooked it exactly right. Hubby had a double California Roll.. he loved it, we’ll be back to sample the dinner...
