Blowfish Sushi & Japanese Food - Vancouver, British Columbia

MAY 2024 REVIEW I have to say I’m quite dissapointed with the customer service in this place. I decided not to delete my review above to show that I was actually a loyal customer. I even did group activities with my workplace here. Brought many referrals claiming it was the best ... sushi in Vancouver. I feel that there is not enough given to loyal customers, for example, you have to dine in 10 times to fill out the small card and you only get $5 off. I brought it today with 9 filled out and the waitress knows I come here extremely often, and still told me I’d have to claim the $5 next time. God… how many times I’ve come here and probably put the sticker somewhere in my pocket. I sensed a true lack of understanding from her, specially because she knows me. Definitely lost such a loyal customer. It’s a good place, but unfortunately fail to reward the people that continue to choose you, even with the high prices you are now charging. This place has been consistently good since 2016. It is my go to place for sure, even if I live far, the commute is worth it. Best sushi in town!!! Recommendations: mango island roll, spicy crispy tuna, and the salmon nigiris 😍😍😍 Read more

Were seated right away at 5:30 pm on a Friday night. Pretty child friendly, with boosters and high chair options available. No children’s cutlery available though. We ordered ika karaage and avocado roll for the child and they liked the squid a lot. Pretty much finished the whole plate themselves. They ... also finished more than half of the decently sized avocado roll. Partner had the saba oshi sushi and a couple salmon nigiris. The saba was aggressively fishy (more than normal) and overly smoky, and the two tastes did not go well together. The rice fell apart when I picked it up, and the candied lemon slice on top was not appetizing. The salmon nigiris were forgettable. I had the chirashi don. Quite disappointing for the price. The octopus and and clam were fine, if a bit chewy. The saba was again overly fishy, and didn’t taste oily at all. The salmon and tuna had no substance to it at all, no chew. This seems like a place that would serve the type of clientele who likes rolls and cooked food. For the quality of “sushi” I’m getting, there are cheaper options down the road. Also, no liquor license / sake available. Read more

Small sushi place just outside the PNE, the service was quick, the menu is online, requires scanning a QR code, something we all got used to a couple years ago. I've never had my food brought out so fast in a sushi place, barely got started ... on my miso soup when my box was brought out. Perhaps if they had taken a bit more time it might have come out better. The fish just tasted a bit bland, meat unseasoned and the dipping sauce well you can see the tiny boil so I could barely dip into it like I'm used to, maybe they expected me to pour it on my food... And the salad while fresh had no dressing on top just on the bottom as if It was put in first before the salad, I was confused and disappointed. Read more

It was a really small place. Only 1 server. We had a reservation and at first we thought it was so slow, we laughed about needing one. But then.....oh boy it filled and got very very busy. People standing, waiting outside. The poor server rushing everywhere. Delivery boys trying to ... obtain orders etc. I was with 4 people, EVERYTHING we got was fresh and delicious and lovingly prepared. Would definitely return. Fair price for a decent amount of high quality. Read more

Good reasonably priced sushi, nothing completely blew me away. Server was very attentive and kind. Menu is smaller than most spots we’ve been to in the past, but hey, that makes decisions easier. Small space if you plan on sitting down to eat, but it was also very quiet in ... the late afternoon so no trouble finding a seat. Read more
