My family loves japanese hibachi grilled food and we both think Blue Fin is best. Don't expect a table side chef, but what you will get is great japanese food for a reasonable price. The ginger dressing is sweet and tart. The meat tender and cooked in a sweet teriyaki sauce. The vegetables are shredded and stemmed soft in butter.
My wife and I have tried many many japanese steakhouses and this our favorite.
Based on the large group of work people I was here with (we sat in the special side room where you have to take your shoes off and you sit in the recessed area, it was kind of cool) I can tell you that their cooked food options were pretty much a hit, and their sushi was only so-so.
So, short recommendation? Order hot food. Not sushi.
To be more detailed I got their hibachi which was DELICIOUS, I wish I had ordered the steak rare because even when I said medium it was a little too cooked for my tastes, but for thin pieces it's hard to cook to order. The chicken was delicious as well. Their rice was super yummy and I was definitely a fan of the soup/salad it came with.
Other yummy things - calamari (everyone commented on how delicious it was), crab rangoons, salmon, a shrimp tempura dish, etc.
The drinks were also very popular with a lot of my coworkers, but you'll definitely pay for it! $8 for a large beer, yeesh!
My hubby and I just recently became sushi fanatics--driving many a mile to experience the range of sushi flavors in Georgia & Tennessee. Out of the many places we have visited, this was the least fresh and most unpleasant of the bunch.
The decor was beautiful--so I had high hopes for Bluefin Sushi. We ordered 3 different sushi rolls--The Surf & Turf, Zen, and Samurai. Upon arrival at our table, the smell of unfresh fish quickly took over. I decided to try it out anyway--and it was terrible. Not only were each of the rolls a strange texture, but it was all at a nasty room temperature!
My husband, who has never experienced food poisoning, had a rather rough night after dining here! Never visiting again! If I am in Rome, I will definitely go to Sumo or Ru-San's.
Not shockingly the BEST sushi you can find in Rome, GA.
Though it's hard for me to be a sushi critic, as I'm only as adventurous as I want to be, I will say that I have frequently had pleasant experiences at this restaurant.
Points of honesty:
1. Probably one of the better, affordable, NON-chain restaurants in Rome.
2. Therefore, it's mostly always packed.
3. They're willing to work with seating arrangements to have large parties- but it doesn't end up feeling like a sweaty Longhorn Steakhouse meal.
4. Sushi and dinner meals are well-presented varieties of plates, cute bento-boxes. This gives the food a bit of life. Don't we always like to wonder... "Ooh what's on the plate?" Done.
5. a BIT pricey, I usually end up spending around 20-25 dollars on a roll (for instance, specialty Dragon roll 8-pc.) miso, and a glass of wine.
6. Don't attempt to bring your own wine, they're a little worrisome about corking, and it's not worth the hassle.
I love sushi, but there aren't many places in this area to get it. Â I was so glad when I stumbled onto Bluefin! Â The interior is nice and clean, but I wish they had more than one bathroom available for each sex, especially since they're so busy. Â
Anyway, the food was great. Â At lunch, you can pick two sushi rolls from a list for $8.95. Â I chose the super crunch roll and the rocker roll. Â Both were excellent. Â The super crunch roll contained crunchy tempura and was topped with shrimp, and the rocker roll was packed with avocado, tuna, salmon, and crab. Â After I ordered, I also received a a little bowl of soup and some salad. Â
As usual, I drank hot tea. Â I wanted more, but my server was absent for a really long time, so I didn't get any. Â Bummer.
I've been there several times and have gotten the runs from their sushi.
The menu and food quality keeps changing too. It's like they have five different people cooking the food. For example, the yaki udon noodles has had different ingredients in it every time I've gone there.
I'd rather go to RuSan's for sushi and regular Japanese food.
Rome's hidden sushi gem!!! If you haven't been, go check it out! The yellow tail and salmon sashimi was the best I've had anywhere and my Californian boss agreed! We also had the tuna appetizer...yum. I went back for take out a week later and got the Japanese veggie noodles...really good. Last night (I consult in Rome so no Kitchen), I had the spicy basil noodles - not as good as everything else I've had there but the tuna salad with Japanese Mustard was great. My advice - GO AND BE ADVENTUROUS!
