A bit expensive but good selection

by DaphneZ

Interesting sushi choices and the decor is pretty cool, but the prices are on the high side for what they offer.

Great Drinks, Fresh Sushi , Good Music, Good Vibe

by gretchm

Fun sushi spot on the ROW! Fresh fish, great DJ, awesome vibe, and good drinks. Best of all its on the ROW. You can stop in for a late lunch or dinner and continue on shopping. Great service and presentation is great! I highly recommend the " Dynamite Roll" !!

• Pros: Service, Ambience
• Cons: Parking , especially during the holidays

Not a great place to have fun!

by stillgonnashine

Bar none the worst restaurant/night club I've been to. The atmosphere is dark, boring, and pretentious. In regards to cougars: u go table dancing cougar.....whether they love you or hate you, you're still gonna shine baby!!!

• Pros: Can't think of any except good location.
• Cons: Bad vibe place

Cougars dont dance on the table here!!!

by passionvixensf

I was there the night of blowfishblowme's alleged near death drama. I thought the resturaunt handled themselves rather professionally considering they had a wild cougar dancing on the table and acting crazy when they asked her to get down. Get off the juice! Blowfish is a great place to have fun.

• Pros: Great food, music and normally people
• Cons: Occasionally they throw out a drunk

Excellent sashimi

by RyanT33

This place was great for California rolls, fish, and tempura lovers. I was so bummed that such a perfect restarant existed because I can't compare it to anything in Southern California as far as I have found.

I'd heard, over and over again, from some friends, that I'd have to visit blowfish when I went to that area and decided to make a go of it last weekend. The food was rather good, the type of thing one would expect from a high end establishment (so I thought it odd that the servers were dressed down), that part I wasn't terribly impressed.

I did try the three rolls, however, and can understand why people flock to this place. I will absolutely return for another helping of tempura (especially the shrimp, which I only had a bite of).

Great experiences and average experiences

by kaleen

Interesting ambience with the anime on several televisions, red lights, and modern furniture. Exotic combinations for the sushi rolls - Baked Alaskan Salmon is an excellent and safe pick but they offer an array of other rolls with fun ingredients. I have been here several times and have noticed the longer it has been there, the more likely the food may not live up to the standards of when the restaurant first opened. But on a good day, their sushi is excellent, tempura is fresh, and service is good. On a bad day, rolls are thrown together, waiters only come by when they need to give you something but don't follow up on you, and it could be up to an hour + wait for a table.

• Pros: Neat ambience, Exotic sushi combinations
• Cons: price, service

Way TOOO Loud and WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for what you get

by karen_coston

I went here on a date and was sooo very disappointed. We had a reservation and still had to wait 20 minutes to sit down. The food was good, but not for what you pay for it. The place was so loud we couldn't hear each other and had to yell all dinner long. Very uncomfortable situation and I wouldn't go back. There are too many other good Sushi places around to waste my money and time on this one.

• Pros: Food is good
• Cons: Too expensive and way too loud

Worst customer service, overpriced sushi!

by bluesclues

We came to Blowfish at around 8:30pm on a Sunday night. There were several (4-5) free tables yet we were told that we needed to wait 20-40 minutes. OK, so we waited. After 20 minutes, we saw even more free tables, and I went over and asked if we could get a table. They did not want to sit us. The girl in charge of setting the table told us to wait some more. It was then that I became really upset and told her that there are free tables, and no other guests on the list and we'd like to sit down. It was then that she sensed that we were all pretty upset and agreed to sit us.

I remember ordering a $20 sushi dish and still went home hungry. Note that I'm a 5'1" female and weigh 95 lbs. I would've ordered more but didn't want to give them business. I would never consider going in this restaurant ever again.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE ALONG WITH OVERPRICED SUSHI! Anyone consider going in should try elsewhere in Santana Row, there are a lot great restaurants around that area. Put your money on where it's worth!

• Pros: No pros for me
