BlueFin Sushi & Grill

Like eating around flies? This place is filthy. Left before we could even order. Flies in the waiting area — dozens in the restroom, and more once seated. Not a good look for a place serving raw seafood.

When I work in Rome, I always come here. Great sushi (try the Manhattan Roll) and good hibachi.
If the veggies with hibachi were more veggies/​less cabbage, I’d give it 5 stars.

Best sushi in Rome… as good as any in ATL. Always a crowd, atmosphere is good and casual, clean, nice wait staff.

So the first visit my food was cold, but I decided to take into consideration the that they were busy. The second visit I ordered the same teriyaki chicken hibachi with crab rangoons. Food tasted great and looked great. That is until 2 am that night. I had the an excruciating case of food poisoning. The worst out of the unfortunate few I have had. I was sick for three days. I’m not sure what it exactly was but something I had from that restaurant was absolutely beyond serving standards. I will never return to this restaurant EVER. I can’t even bare the sight of it.

I was actually a little disappointed with this restaurant. Although the food wasn’t bad it wasn’t great either. We had the Kirin beer, hot sake, crunchy tuna, spicy tuna roll, and the Manhattan toll. I found that the spicy tuna roll was not that great and the Manhattan roll was a little bland and tasteless’s. the best part of the whole meal was the appetizers that we had off fried calamari and crab Rangoon and the hot sake as well as the deer was also good.
The staff was friendly atmosphere quite casual but nice and clean we were seated almost promptly and the food came out in a decent amount of time.

One of our favorite go-​to restaurants in Rome when we want to treat ourselves. On a spin bavk through town in the summer, we met one of our students here and between the three of us tried several of our favorite entrees one again. My wife nearly always orders the basil chicken stir fry noodles, and I nearly always order the large scorpion roll. No disappointments there – delicious! Our student ordered the rib eye hibachi, which admittedly looked, smelled and tasted great, and may become a new favorite in the coming months. It just does not get any better than this in northwest Georgia!

Wonderful food. Had the Tom Kha Kha soup (yummy) Spicy Basil fried rice with chicken, and Dave had the Rainbow Roll. Only disappointed that the Roti Canai is on the menu, but not available!

We’ve been here a total of 3 times now. The last 2 visits were definitely better than this recent one.
The host seated us immediately but she dropped our menus off and disappeared without saying anything.
We waited about 15 minutes before a waiter came by to take our drink order. We didn’t even learn his name until we received the check at the end. David wasn’t very welcoming and barely said much of anything. I couldn’t understand anything he mumbled.
The sushi we ordered seemed as though it had been sitting out for a awhile before they served it to us.
Like I said, my boyfriend and I have been there previously and the food/​service was a lot better during those visits.
I would have given them 2 stars otherwise.

Not that great sushi was some what good but ive had better. Hibachi is what I love and its not the same just cooked in kitchen instead of in front of you like REAL hibachi. Again sushi special rolls looked and tasted good but hibachi not really.

This is not the beat sushi that I have ever eaten, but it is the BEST sushi that I’ve eaten in Rome, GA.
Always very clean, which if you’ve read any of my reviews you know is most important to me. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable.
Mountaintop roll is interesting and quite tasty.

My family loves Blue Fin. We are not from Rome but my husband goes there on business each week and stops by for carry out. The flavors are great better than any other Japanese restaurant in the area.

Lunch visit and loved every bite! The place was packed on a Tues at 12:30 and I know why… My chicken hibachi was delicious. Chicken, fried rice, and shredded veggies served with Yum Yum sauce on the side. Many of the patrons ordered sushi and the plates looked like a work of art!
When in Rome… MUST go to BlueFin!

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!

BlueFin has a reputation as the best sushi in town, and that’s probably true. Thing is, the town in question is Rome, GA. While there are indeed a few culinary delights to be found here, sushi isn’t among them. I am the first to admit that a few years of living in California have ruined me utterly where sushi is concerned. Had I eaten at BlueFin years ago, I could see myself leaving four or five stars. But for the sushi purist, this is still closer to grocery store sushi than it is to Sugarfish or Katsuya.
All that said, the sushi is solid, and the prices are very reasonable. The wine list is perfectly serviceable, with decent bottles to be had at fairly inexpensive prices and better bottles for those on a less restrictive budget. The service was very good, and I would definitely go back — I’d just relax my expectations this time!

Went here with friends when I was visiting town and was a bit trepidatious because I don’t do sushi. But there was nothing to worry about because the Hibachi Fillet Mignon I had was excellent. It was tasty and cooked perfectly. The vegetables that came with it were a little unusual (cabbage and broccoli mostly with some of the usual zucchini and onion mixed in) but that was easily forgiven in the light of the rest of the plate.
Definitely a good bet, even for non-​sushi eaters.

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. I was so glad when I stumbled onto Bluefin! 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.
Anyway, the food was great. At lunch, you can pick two sushi rolls from a list for $ 8.95. I chose the super crunch roll and the rocker roll. Both were excellent. The super crunch roll contained crunchy tempura and was topped with shrimp, and the rocker roll was packed with avocado, tuna, salmon, and crab. After I ordered, I also received a a little bowl of soup and some salad.
As usual, I drank hot tea. I wanted more, but my server was absent for a really long time, so I didn’t get any. Bummer.

I was addicted to this place over the summer! The rice is the best you can get in NW GA, hands down! The cali rolls are great, my favs are the Double Impact and the Submarine roll.
The dinner dishes are pretty standard asian fare, and my sushi loving friends say it’s the best. The ginger dressing is the best I’ve had in a while. The service is really good at the tables and at the bar!

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.
