Plenty of seating space and private rooms make this hip sushi lounge ideal for parties before the theater or basketball games.

Large parties will find plenty of space, including a unique private room where guests sit on floor pillows, at this large downtown sushi lounge. Low blue lighting gives the place a soothing vibe. Scared of sushi? Start with the Tornado, a deep-fried tempura roll stuffed with smoked salmon, crab and cream cheese. Traditional sushi fans will delight in Bluefin’s large roll menu, as well as the added option of fresh grated Japanese wasabi root. Pizzas stray from the ordinary cheese-and-pepperoni variety with tandoori chicken pizza and tuna tataki pizza (seared tuna, Roma tomato, Japanese barbecue sauce and fried garlic). Bluefin offers several brands of saké (both hot and cold).

BlueFin Memphis
by jtylermcclendon on 08/31/2010
 
As I live only a few blocks from BlueFin, I have eaten there dozens of times over the last few years. While two years ago it was one of my favorite restaurants in town, it has gone dramatically downhill. The last three times I have eaten there I have had to wait at least 45 minutes to be served the first morsel of food--even when they are not full. That's a long time when you're starting with edamame. Furthermore, the food and drinks are dramatically overpriced; the whole thing I feel is geared up to take advantage of people who come into downtown Memphis from surrounding small towns and are willing to pay up for the atmosphere or simply do not know what eating sushi should be like.

Three weeks ago I went with a group of 4 other friends and we had to wait 30 minutes after being seated for a server to even take a drink order. Over the next two hours it took for us to get our food and finish, our server only returned two other times. Then, to top it off, they added an 18% gratuity for a party of 5 and the worst service I've had in years. Upon my complaining they refused to take it off! I swore I would never eat there again. Unfortunately, I broke my promise to myself and ordered takeout again. That's unfortunate because I received a takeout box crammed with sushi rolls stacked on top of one another.
