Delicious sushi, extensive wine, beer and sake list, gorgeous modern décor(got a few great ideas for my home) and very polite staff! Any roll can be ordered without spicy mayo. We brought our 8 and 11yo’s who also loved it. The staff referred to our son as «sir» which made him feel important. While we didn’t partake in the fancy drinks, we noticed the table next to us ordered cocktails that arrived with dry ice smoke billowing out of the sides. We will definitely be back for date night!

Absolutely fabulous… wait, wait for it… fabulous DRINKS! don’t miss out on the James Dean, Waterford, Bermuda Triangle and The Other Women… these are true cocktails… made with care, well balanced. Oh, and the sushi… incredible… This Bluefish is significantly better than Glenview(sorry Glenview, still live ya!)

Y-U-M! Fantastic sushi and sashimi. Even better customer service! Bluefish arts the bar for what a dine-in sushi experience should be, whether in the city OR the suburbs! The rolls are tasty and well made — especially with the black rice. The chirashi(sashimi on rice) was also of high quality(albeit not quite the best in he Vernon Hills /Lincolnshire area). The service is what puts Blufish over the top. Attentive, yet not intrusive. Informative without being invasive. They have service down pat! Blufish will be my sushi restaurant of choice for a long time: when I try their to-go service, we’ll see if they’re also my to-go choice in the burbs or not.

Nice décor, but food was ok. Sashimi was small in size and some were not fresh.

From the décor, to the service, to the food, this place is excellent. Their sushi is high quality and the house salad is one to come back again to enjoy. I really like the fact that there is the option to get short rolls if you want a wider variety(6 pieces instead of 8 or 10). The honey chamomile tea was delicious. We will definitely be back!

I’ve gotten a bit lazy when in comes to Unilocal — using review to help decide where to go and what to order but seldom oh adding reviews of my own. Blufish was so fantastic that I honestly couldn’t die with a clear conscience without having reviewed. From the moment I walked in, I was wowed. The layout, the lighting, the music, the tiny design choices. Every person who works here was incredibly friendly and incredibly gracious. My server Kevin exemplified this. The menu sold itself — like a beautiful novel that you can’t put down. I chose a gentle floral sake, and was offered the chance to taste before being brought the full glass. The pork belly robota with an incredible kimchi sauce blew me away. An oyster shooter with incredible spicy yet subtle flavors exploded in my mouth. And my entrée, the chefs signature nigiri was, to this date in my life, without parallel. I consider myself a sushi aficionado and have never tasted such incredible flavors. Kevin recommended that I try my nigiri without soy sauce and he was 100% right. The flavors spoke for themselves in unique and incredible ways. And then the dessert menu came. I never order dessert. But I did. Passion fruit icecream in a white chocolate shell with strawberries, perfectly tart, not too sweet. I finished it alone. Divine. The whole experience.

Wow, wow, wow! I was not expecting this restuarant in a strip mall! It is absolutely beautiful inside, very upscale. The service was amazing, from being greeted when we walked in and throughout the evening. The food was amazing and so delicious, I think we have a new favorite sushi restaurant! Highly recommend, can’t wait to go back myself!

I arrived in time for the Blufish version of Happy Hour and had a very happy time. The restaurant décor is stunningly beautiful. Since we were early, I took the time to walk around and enjoy the ambiance. Then, we started ordering some of the best and most unique tasting appetizers ever. The pork belly skewers and bulgogi eggrolls were fantastic, the sake flight delicious, the sushi flavorful and fresh. Our server was very attentive and informative. It was a joy to talk with her. Since I live 5 minutes away, this will be my new ‘go to place’ for Happy Hour. I highly recommend Blufish Robata in Vernon Hills.

Great quality of fish, as well as a selection of a couple top Sakes. We tried the omakase, which was not the traditional omakase that you’d expect if you’ve been to any 5 star NY sushi bar, or even Japan(we’ve been to both). The night was so busy that they were not able to keep up with just two people in the restaurant doing omakase– so we were fairly disappointed. However, the owner came to talk with us personally about the night, and offered us a chance to come during the week for our own omakase– served any way we wanted. Besides being very busy, the quality of fish(especially the better cuts of salmon and bluefin) are some of the best cuts of fish we have had… anywhere. Our parents are non-sushi eaters, and have had exceptional dishes(filet mignon). Overall great place for sushi and non-sushi eaters. Friendly staff, great owners. Just a bit busy on a Friday/Saturday night… Would definitely suggest going on a weeknight to enjoy the full experience.

Best sushi in the area. Spicy salmon maki is amazing. But the BEST thing is the house salad!!! The ginger dressing is the BEST!!!

Tried this new Sushi restaurant for a business lunch. The portions were generous and most important the Sushi was fresh and well put together. We had a Sashimi sampler and tried several rolls. Our tastes run on the Spicy side but we were not disappointed. The Ocean Drive, Spicy Tataki, and Spicy Cajun rolls were all excellent. They had short rolls so we could try more combinations. I will definitely go back with friends or family. The servers were attentive and the décor was very nice.

I am so happy to find this sushi restaurant in Vernon Hills — it gives a nice urban & upscale feel as soon as u walk in! The décor is awesome — very contemporary and very well laid out. Sushi rolls are very creative and well thought out. Nowadays with sooo many sushi places opening up — this restaurant clearly stands out with innovative items in their menu that you would want to try. The long sake list is another plus point as you get to try out many other sake drinks instead of the usual house sake. Service is excellent as well… no complaints there. Prices are reasonable and on par with a restaurant of this caliber. It is obvious they have thought of every little detail and it definitely speaks to the level of thought that was put into this restaurant. Overall, I was very impressed and this would be place of choice for sushi around the northwest burbs.

This place is simply amazing. It’s aesthetically beautiful inside, the food presentation is gorgeous, and the freshness is insane! I got to try 3 different specialty rolls, all 3 were amazing. But what stole my heart was the $ 1.50 oysters during their version of happy hour. Holy crap, haven’t had oysters this delicious since Big T’s in San Jose… Stop reading and just go… NOW!

Nice new place near home. Rolls were well made and interesting. Offered choice of black or white rice. I find it more interesting to get two«Short Rolls» of four pieces each than one large roll. More to try and share. Seaweed salad was different, it had noodles and other ingredients than just seaweed. I liked it but my son was expecting a more traditional dish. Will be bacl lots to exploere on the menu.

I’ve been an avid Blufish fan and with their newest location in Vernon Hills, boy have they done it again. The interior is immaculate, the décor is pleasing to the eyes, and the food is phenomenal. If anyone knows sushi, it’s Blufish. Try their Signature Nigiri Combo and the Zuke Sake. It’s pleasing to your eyes and to your stomach. They have some really interesting cocktails too. Check out the Bye Bye Baby, its delicious and its fun to watch. If you haven’t been here already, you’re missing out!
