Good sushi, too loud
this place is more of a place to see and be seen. I've had much better sushi at a better price. The ambience is very trendy but is not a good place to have a decent conversation. I found myself having to yell across the table multiple times, not cute. the service was fairly decent but not exceptional. The tables were somewhat cramped. Just an okay place.

Good customer service, bad food, overpriced
Service staff is very friendly and nice, but food is overpriced and not very fresh. Bar area is nice with good atmosphere for hanging out. I wouldn't go there to eat, but to go there for drinks is ok.

Enjoyed the drinks, sushi could be better
Just like the headline says, the happy hour drinks were great, but the sushi didnt live up to the name. Didnt seem too fresh and was overpriced for what was delivered.

Do Not eat at the Sushi Bar -Bad Service
I am a frequent diner at Blowfish and had great service in the past but this weekend, my wife and I ate for the first time at the Sushi Bar instead of at the tables. We placed our order and it appears to be a "who you know to get sushi" at the bar.

Favorite Sushi Place !!
My husband and I love Blowfish. The sushi is always delicious, drinks are on point, prices are resonable, service is great and love the ambiance. Yes, it's a place to "be seen" or what others have said- where the "pretty people" go...but what's wrong with that...good food, good looking people and good service- this is why it is our favorite place to grab some sushi and drinks! Best drinks I've had in a long time! I highly recommend- EVERYTHING on the menu! If you go on a Friday night or weekend- make reservations! It's a fun place- but not romantic- it can be loud with the DJ later on weekends (late evening). Def. worth checking out. Lunch time crowd is older crowds- which is better for those who want a quiet meal.

speakers are way too loud....but hey its a good place to socialize
have never eaten a full meal here so there isn't much to say about that. But to come here for drinks...it isn't too bad. Yea the music isn't all that great and it can get a little too bustle hustle...but I would have to say some of their drinks are quite tasty and some of the bartenders can be quite entertaining. One of my favorite drink here is the Mango Mojito. Fresh and sweet. Now how can you not like that?....(o_O) Let's talk about why I gave this place 3 stars and not 4 or 5:

Worst customer service, overpriced sushi!
We came to Blowfish at around 8:30pm on a Sunday night. There were several (4-5) free tables yet we were told that we needed to wait 20-40 minutes. OK, so we waited. After 20 minutes, we saw even more free tables, and I went over and asked if we could get a table. They did not want to sit us. The girl in charge of setting the table told us to wait some more. It was then that I became really upset and told her that there are free tables, and no other guests on the list and we'd like to sit down. It was then that she sensed that we were all pretty upset and agreed to sit us.

Way TOOO Loud and WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for what you get
I went here on a date and was sooo very disappointed. We had a reservation and still had to wait 20 minutes to sit down. The food was good, but not for what you pay for it. The place was so loud we couldn't hear each other and had to yell all dinner long. Very uncomfortable situation and I wouldn't go back. There are too many other good Sushi places around to waste my money and time on this one.

Fun Place! Average food
This place is a great hangout place. Very trendy! Very Fun! THe food was okay. Presentation was great-food taste was okay..not bad but not stand out good either. A good place to start out a friday nite.

Great experiences and average experiences
Interesting ambience with the anime on several televisions, red lights, and modern furniture. Exotic combinations for the sushi rolls - Baked Alaskan Salmon is an excellent and safe pick but they offer an array of other rolls with fun ingredients. I have been here several times and have noticed the longer it has been there, the more likely the food may not live up to the standards of when the restaurant first opened. But on a good day, their sushi is excellent, tempura is fresh, and service is good. On a bad day, rolls are thrown together, waiters only come by when they need to give you something but don't follow up on you, and it could be up to an hour + wait for a table.

Excellent sashimi
This place was great for California rolls, fish, and tempura lovers. I was so bummed that such a perfect restarant existed because I can't compare it to anything in Southern California as far as I have found.

Cougars dont dance on the table here!!!
I was there the night of blowfishblowme's alleged near death drama. I thought the resturaunt handled themselves rather professionally considering they had a wild cougar dancing on the table and acting crazy when they asked her to get down. Get off the juice! Blowfish is a great place to have fun.

Nothing good to say about this place.
Nothing good to say about this place.....too expensive, trendy, and terrible customer service. Would not recommend.

Not a great place to have fun!
Bar none the worst restaurant/night club I've been to. The atmosphere is dark, boring, and pretentious. In regards to cougars: u go table dancing cougar.....whether they love you or hate you, you're still gonna shine baby!!!

Great Drinks, Fresh Sushi , Good Music, Good Vibe
Fun sushi spot on the ROW! Fresh fish, great DJ, awesome vibe, and good drinks. Best of all its on the ROW. You can stop in for a late lunch or dinner and continue on shopping. Great service and presentation is great! I highly recommend the " Dynamite Roll" !!

A bit expensive but good selection
Interesting sushi choices and the decor is pretty cool, but the prices are on the high side for what they offer.

Love their bento for lunch
My favorite is the large serving size of excellent tempura. Then I have to decide -- tasty beef slices, sashimi, salmon teriyaki, ginger pork or the tonkatsu for my second choice. Whatever I select, I know I'll be very happy eating it. The salad is the best looking one I've seen in the Bay Area and both salad dressings are outstanding.The rice is always flawless and they serve two kinds of pickled veggies in the center. I love bringing friends here.

Fab Sushi
Blowfish has outstanding sushi that is consistently fresh, an innovative and creative menu, fab-u-lous cocktails and a cozy yet modern environment. The staff is chic yet helpful and will often give great advice on your next item based on what you have ordered and what you envision. The potstickers are the bomb if you don't like raw fish and their martinis are always delish!

WILL NOT RECOMMEND
This is the very first time in my life that I walked out at a restaurant. This just happened last Saturday night 4/2/11. My family came in the restaurant and we were seated at once. We looked at the menu, and we're given 4 glasses of water. Ten munutes has passed and no one has asked if we're ready to order. Gave them another 5 minutes, nothing. Then two people just came in and was seated next to us. And guess what, a waitress came and was taking their order. That's the time I told my family to stand up and we just walked out and no one even said anything to us. We ended up eating at SINO and we had a great time.Worldwide > United States > San Jose, CA > Sushi and Japanese Restaurants
