Bluefin Sushi & Thai — Restaurant in Brentwood

Only gave one star bc I had to. They never acknowledged it was a birthday dinner in any way despite being on the reservation. Things started out good. We got seated quickly and waters on the table for everyone. We ordered apps of lettuce wraps, crab rangoon, and husband ordered egg drop soup. Got the crab rangoon and it was good. Typical flavor of most places. Lettuce wraps came out and I was surprised that instead of a bib lettuce or something similar it was iceberg which I’m not a huge fan of. My husband’s soup never arrived. We ordered the duck curry and it came with a salad. They brought the salad and it was a bowl full of chopped chunks of iceberg soaked in a ginger dressing that I think had went bad bc it appeared to be curdled. Daughter in law ordered noodles with steak and she didn’t say anything was wrong with it but didn’t eat much and didn’t seem to enjoy it. The duck curry arrived and daughter said it was off in flavor and duck was too chewy to eat. She didn’t eat it. We had ordered sesame chicken. It was typical sesame chicken. Nothing special but could have been warmer. Finally they asked if we were missing anything bc food came out intermittently while other tables seated after us already were finishing their food. We told them we were missing the soup and the chef’s special sushi tray and a rainbow roll. They asked if my husband still wanted the soup and he said yes. This he regretted. Said the soup tasted like nothing. Got our rainbow roll and it was oddly room temp but seemed fine. Brought us a sashimi tray which we informed them was not what we ordered. Finally brought out our sushi tray. It was warm and smelled oddly fishy like the fish wasn’t fresh. One of the rolls looked like the fish inside had been minced to nothing and squeezed into the roll. Between the off putting smell and the look we chose not to eat it. Server rarely came to check on us and only filled our glasses once. An hour and a half to get all our food and out of it we had the crab rangoon, the filling for the wraps, a rainbow roll , and we shared the sesame chicken among 5 of us. I let the server know and she only took off the sushi and duck. So we paid $108 to have two small apps and share a plate of sesame chicken and waters and a Diet Coke to drink. We left and went and got burgers. Beyond...

Title: Disappointing Experience at Bluefin Sushi - Needs Serious Improvement

Review:

I recently visited Bluefin Sushi and am compelled to share my experience. Despite its 4.5-star rating on Google, my visit was incredibly disappointing. As someone from California, I wasn't expecting California sushi, but I received far below standard.

First, let me acknowledge that the staff tried their best within their capacity. However, they are untrained and unable to provide helpful suggestions. The young lady seated us had just started a few days prior and was unsure of her place. The menu is overwhelming and too extensive. When a menu is that large, it's often a sign that the food quality suffers.

The young man who took our order misunderstood it, resulting in delays. Most concerning, the sushi itself was not fresh. It was served at room temperature, had a plastic look and texture, and was inedible. We were genuinely afraid to eat it for fear of food poisoning.

While the space is clean, it has a stagnant scent that detracts from the dining experience.

I leave this review not to harm the restaurant's reputation but to highlight areas needing severe improvement. Sushi quality needs urgent attention; the staff, including kitchen staff, require proper training, and the management must ensure fish is not kept longer than necessary. Ownership accountability is crucial to restoring this restaurant to a good standard.

In conclusion, I hope Bluefin Sushi takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary changes to meet the expectations set by...

Wish I could give ZERO stars! I placed an order from a menu I've had since this place opened not too long ago. I ordered from the menu I had, no problem. I ordered from the Chinese lunch menu, which is a number of items for $8. I went to go and pick up my order and I find out my total was extremely higher than it normally is. I asked why the prices are so much higher, and the girl said that the prices have changed. I didn't mind if they went up a minimal amount, but my bill was twice the amount it normally was! I did notice that the girl who was there was not the same girl, so I asked her if she had a new take out menu. She said they are not printed yet. So I finally asked her if the place was still Corner Asian Bistro. She said no, it was now Bluefin Sushi and Thai Restaurant. I told her to please cancel my order and advised her to mention this to unsuspecting customers of Corner Asian Bistro. For their prices to be this much higher, they can keep it. And it's very sad that Corner Asian Bistro has been bought out by these people. They were the one place I would go to other than Fulin's near by. Looks like I will be going there from now on. And from the reviews about this Bluefin Sushi and Thai Restaurant that are located on YELP, the food is awful! Which goes right along with how well the hostess treated me when I asked her about Corner Asian Bistro! I expect this place to not last and I would say good...
