    We, as a partially Japanese family, go to Blufish frequently, the food is competently done and this evening was no exception. Our server was very friendly and very eager to please. At one point there was a misunderstanding about a menu item and the wrong item was brought. When we pointed it out, the server immediately rushed it away for replacement and was apologetic. Our used dishes were removed promptly, our tea pot hot water was renewed without having to wave anyone down. Our dinner moved along seamlessly due to the attention and diligence of our server. Very refreshing experience. Outstanding service. Good consistent food.

    We were excited to try BluFish as it was highly rated. Initially after ordering, the server forgot to put our order in so we waited about 25 minutes until she came over and realized we ordered already and ran back to the kitchen. We got our first dish about 30 minutes from ordering on a pretty empty night. When the sushi items came out, they were very underwhelming. The Cajun in the seared sashimi took away from the sashimi which would've tasted good on its own. All the specialty rolls also tasted the same and very mediocre. Maybe we're spoiled by the Toronto food scene but it definitely wasn't a good experience. We tried the "Ben", "Somoku", "Spicy Dynamite" and "Lobster Roll". We wouldn't come back but again, maybe we're just spoiled by good sushi spots in Toronto.
