on Citysearch Jul 30, 2008This was my first experience at Bluefin, and I'd been eager to try since it recieved rave reviews from anybody who's been there. I was NOT impressed. I've been to sushi places so I have plenty of benchmarks. I'll... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 18, 2008This is by far the best sushi in the Philly area. Forget about the fancy center-city places - this small restaurant in the middle of a strip mall in Plymouth Meeting is the best place to get any kind of sushi.... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 14, 2008I've been to this restaurant three times so far and if you're looking for great rolls, this is the place to go. The staff are very friendly and I noticed that 80% of the people in the restaurant are people that come... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 10, 2007I've been to many sushi places but never has one place drawn me to it time and time again. This place seems to have done right - always expect the sushi to be the freshest sushi you'll ever taste and the always expect your... (more)

on Citysearch May 20, 2007Bluefin is an amazing sushi restaurant. It's by far the best that I have had in the Philadelphia area. That Lulu person is way off because Bluefin usually has specials and everything is always so fresh. I have never had... (more)

on Citysearch May 08, 2007I've finally found one sushi restaurant that I would go to more than once (maybe every week) here in Philadelphia. I've been to many good sushi restaurants in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Seoul, Boston and New York, but it was... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 26, 2007I realized the people who think Bluefin has great sushi, they don't know what "sushi" is. They've never experienced "real" sushi, so they think Bluefin is the best. Their sushi is as good as you can get from... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 11, 2006I've tasted sushi in Philly, and many other cities in the States - this is THE best sushi and I've yet to find anything even comparable anywhere else. The fish is always fresh, the menu is creative, the service is... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 19, 2006As expected, we enjoyed our sushi--fish was fresh and tender, and pieces were large. The one thing that may keep us from going back is the spotty customer service. We called for reservations, specifically... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 18, 2006Driving along Germantown pike in Plymouth Meeting the last thing you expect to find in a strip mall, wedged between a dry cleaners and a townie bar is a great sushi restaurant. But Bluefin is it!! You'll find a friendly... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 10, 2006<b>In Short<br></b>Bluefin is borne of Norristown's popular August Moon. The smallish strip-mall setting boasts a several basic tables, a simple sushi bar and a tinkling dining room waterfall. All the basics,... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 29, 2005The best sushi place in the Phila metro area, no lie. Don't let the strip mall exterior fool you. This BYOB has the classic sushi standards plus some new innovations. Don't miss the "tuna sandwich"; a raw tuna version... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 26, 2004I liked Bluefin. It wasn't THAT far from Philadelphia but it could be hard to find. My fiance and I joined two friends for dinner. The restaurant and the parking lot were a little small but we didn't care, we wanted... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 08, 2004When I drove up tp Blue Fin I almost pulled right out of the strip mall location. However, the recent positive reviews of fresh fish peeked my curiosity. Thankfully, the inside decor of Blue Fin is simply stylish and... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 30, 2003Bluefin has the best sushi in the entire Philly area and we've tried them all. Yong always makes the meal memorable. I'm not sure what happened to the previous reviewer, but I've never had Yong say no to me about any... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 31, 2003Even after reading all of the reviews here I was still shocked at how good the experience was at Bluefin. The sushi is possibly the best I've ever tasted, the prices were reasonable (not cheap, but well worth it for the... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2003I really enjoyed the sushi at Bluefin, and the server was very friendly and capable - but the sushi chef was apparently backed up for some reason, and it took FOREVER (oh, ok, about an hour) for the sushi to come after we... (more)
