Bluefin Sushi and Roll — Restaurant in South Pasadena

One of the worst sushi experiences I've had in a long time. I never write reviews but I felt this was necessary. I've ordered from Bluefin before and didn't have a great experience so I thought I'd give them another chance. First off, the customer service was terrible. From the phone call to the in store pick-up, it felt almost like they didn't want us to order from them. It was a weird and very unpleasant experience. Secondly, the prices compared to the amount of food we got was shocking. I know sushi as is is expensive, but we paid 30 dollars for 4 half-full, small boxes of sushi. On top of that, one of the "rolls" was outrageously small. I've attached a picture of this roll. We placed a penny and a quarter next to it to show how insanely small it was. This was so upsetting because the other rolls we got were actually really delicious, but the size of them, and this one especially, was so frustrating. Extremely disappointed and never purchasing from...

This place is really excellent. My wife and I found it two weeks ago and we've been there three times already. Great quality ingredients and masterful execution. Also, really affordable. The salad - of all things - is amazing (farmers market greens with an excellent dressing). I've never been a big fan of the California roll, but there's is super good. The spicy tuna - so often nothing special - is a new bench mark. All of the sushi has a perfect rice to fish ratio. Hands down the best rainbow roll I've had so far, and I've had many. The menu is minimal, but, to do a few things and do them well should be celebrated. Chill vibes, great service, and right at the South Pasadena Gold Line stop....

My wife and I have been coming here for years and only recently we decided to hop on the Metro and bring our daughters (1.5 and 4.5 y.o.); this place is an amazing small spot and quite possibly the best South Pasadena sushi spot.

The staff is really nice and there is just something about the chef that makes you like him. They have always been attentive and good with us.

For those who complain about portions, this is definitely not “all you can eat” so don’t expect it because this far exceeds the quality of the AYCE spots by at least a mile.

Try the Chuka Iidako and the Tako Wasabi to start and go with the Salmon Avocado Salad and go from there. Finish off with ice cream down...
