Blue Fin Restaurant

Stopped by after my tournament. Had I had no regrets. We ordered the Fried Calamari, Volcano Sushi Roll, Spicy Basil Noodle. The Fried calamari was 10/10 absolutely delicious. Volcano Sushi rolls 9/10 I wish the portion was more cause it was delicious, and I wish it was less saucy though. The spicy basil noodles was 8/10, the chicken was very bland which kinda ruined the delicious noodles if it was marinated it would have helped greatly, the side sauce helps greatly too. Customer service was excellent. The restaurant was pretty clean. My overall experience was 9/10 I will be coming back. I recommend.

Came here on Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend. Excellent food and fast service along with this absolutely beautiful presentation of the manhattan roll that I had to share online. Hibachi was good along with the soup and salad and overall had a great dinner here for our date.

We have eaten several meals with guests and it is always a treat. Food is plentiful, fresh, and delicious. Service has been very good with frequent checks on our table needs. Each visit there are different dishes ordered and so far none have been disappointing. Sushi orders have been among some of the appetizers ordered and very enjoyable. Our top go to place in Rome to enjoy the food and service.

Best ginger salad and sashimi slices in Rome according to my fiancée and I would agree! The tatami space is absolutely adorable and a huge plus, especially since you can reserve it. We had a fantastic evening with our group, everything felt warm and welcoming, and the food was on point. We’ll definitely be back!

I’ve attempted to enjoy this establishment many times. I’ve returned many times despite being unable to order a meal without them attempting several times to make my food without my food allergy in it. However with it happening once again, I think it’s better for my safety to never return to this establishment. I really do enjoy the food once they finally get it right, but no one should be subjected to have to wait longer than their peers to eat because the staff cannot communicate properly about someone’s food allergy. This order was delivered and I’m glad I checked prior to eating. Please for the rest who may also have food allergies have your staff take them SERIOUSLY. It is, life or death.

BlueFin truly feels like home to me. From the moment you walk in the atmosphere is warm, lively, and radiates positivity. You are always greeted with a warm welcome and treated like family. The food is absolutely incredible! Every dish is made with so much care, flavor, and it never disappoints. My personal favorite is the fried rice and steak along with the cucumber roll. Hands down the best dish EVER! The service is beyond amazing. Everyone goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and appreciated. Servers and cooks are willing to accommodate my dietary needs and do it flawlessly every time. The owners Shandy and Ping are genuinely some of the best people you’ll ever meet and their love for what they do shines through in every part of the restaurant. They always are so happy to see me when I visit from college and make me feel beyond appreciated. I’ve enjoyed every single moment eating here, and the time I spent working here before going to college made it even more special. BlueFin isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. It’s a connection. It’s a memory you will cherish forever and it’s one I’m so grateful to be a part of. I can’t recommend it enough. It is absolutely worth every penny and hour you spend. Big shoutout to Shandy, Ping, Lee, Shae, and Sophia for creating wonderful connections with me and always treating me like family when I visit while they are working!

Friendly server, good service. Dinners were good. Steak was a little overcooked, but did not take away from a great tasting meal. There were three hibachi meals, and two sushi rolls. Other than the steak, no complaints!

Personally my food was good..a little expensive for what I had..anyway thats not the reason for this post. A friend an his gf went to eat lunch an he ordered tuna rolls. He didn't like them I assumed it was because he wasn't familiar with it. No that wasn't it at all I tried one an it honestly tasted like canned tuna you get at walmart...it was absolutely disgusting..I've had tuna rolls at places an it was fresh good tuna..an I've had plenty of can tuna...thats exactly what it was..id b ashamed if I were the chefs that day..I will go back but whoever decided to put canned tuna in the tuna roll should b ashamed...thank u an have a wonderful day..

My husband and I were visiting from out of town and decided to try Blue fin and it was the best hibachi we have ever ate. The staff where friendly and the restaurant was very clean.

Coming to Rome 2 weeks ago, I had a plan of stopping at Ru Sans, my girlfriend suggested we stop here instead. Apparently Ru Sans has had some issues keeping employees and can be closed at random times. Two times being here: my first and last. I honestly can't state how many things could be out of whack. I gave it two stars as it is not the worst train wreck I have been in and has potential to improve. Looking at other reviews, I am glad I did not order to go. The atmosphere is fine. Feels like most places in a strip mall. Long sushi bar just inside the door with seating around the side. We did not realize hours had changed since the last time she had been (quite some time ago) and the waitress was obviously in a mood with us coming in. As there were still people on other tables and we left before they cleared out, she copped an attitude for no good reason. The sushi? It is clear the sushi chef's don't understand what they are doing. The rice balls were huge and the fish cut very thick. Some might say they are giving you value for your dollar, but sushi is meant to be the way it is so you get the balance of the fish, the rice and any sauce you have on them. With nigiri, this can be the wasabi you add along with the soy sauce you dip it in. The other side was some of the fish was already starting to separate, which means it was fairly old. Thick cuts of old fish are not really appetizing. The last straw was the rice had been sitting for some time and had already started to pick up off flavors. The only thing I forgot to do is grab pictures as it would accentuate the level of inattention this place offered.

Great place to have consistently good food every time. My tip is to order on the phone and pick up your food curbside. The Manhattan and Dragon roll with a side of rice feeds two easily.

they tried to charge me almost double for a an order of 2 to-go items. I ordered according to their online menu prices but they said that the prices went up on their in-house menu. instead of honoring the prices I ordered from I had to remove one of the items from my order to afford the meal. The manager did not offer to honor the original prices. Ins she took one of the items out of my to-go bag and charged me for the one item remaining. they didn't have any to-go menus available for future purchases either. what terrible customer service. there will be no future visit from this customer.

Food - Very fresh but small portions for such higher prices. The lunch menu have small portions and still higher prices. The quality is excellent and fresh, hot, made when ordered. Service- ok, seem distracted and in a hurry Ambiance - ok. The parking can get difficult in a small shopping center with too many eateries vying for space. Glad the tables were upgraded.

Mongolian beef was dry and tuff. The sauce was entirely too sweet. Blue Fin fried rice was not fresh. Shrimp was not fresh. Will not be returning.

You should definitely order here if you want a girl named Abby call your mom a liar and argue with her in front of a whole restaurant over a $4 edamame. Some people just aren't raised right. Go somewhere you won't get bad vibes along with your meal. Our family has eaten at this place since longer than this rude hostess has been alive, but we will literally never step foot in there again. Update: this hostess Abby has since found me on FB to send me private messages arguing about this further. So yeah, you can also get a side of stalking with your visit but NOT the side of edamame you ordered and paid for.

Was here on a Monday night and it was moderately busy. We were seated quickly and waited on promptly. The food was delivered to the table in a timely manner. I had the hibachi filet and the steak was very tender and had a good flavor. I got extra fried rice and it was good as well. I will definitely be back next time I am i

Place an order to pick up. They were supposed to be vegetable. There were no vegetables it was dried chicken. The food was absolutely horrible. I will never eat there again. I would tell people to stay away.

Great sushi place! Reasonably priced and always great service. I have eaten here since they opened 15 years ago and never a bad experience. I read some of these other reviews and have never experienced anything close to that. The owner and staff are very attentive and go above and beyond!

If I could leave a zero for rating, I would leave a zero. I have never been treated so unprofessionally by an owner of a company. I work in the hospital and I would never treat my patients as badly as I was just Treated for a to-go-order.

I'm definitely not a huge fan of this place. The seating arrangement is not good. I was at the edhe of where people walk by and couldn't get comfortable without almost getting hit. The sushi is just basic, unfortunately. Limited options of sushi without salmon or fish eggs or eel. I'll stick to our Kumo hibachi place in cartersville.

I was not crazy about BlueFin! I think we may have gotten the wrong things here...we got some sushi and were not too impressed! The pictures we found online were completely different from what we actually ended up getting! I think it has a lot of potential! It was pretty busy, so I'm sure the other food is good. We got it to go, so that could also be a factor! The employees were super kind! I would give it another chance!

Brittny Edmondson Horrible experience! I ordered lunch around 2:15 pm, grabbed it around 2:30. Got all the way back to my office only to open the bag and the food box my lunch was in was disgusting! It was a white container, food all over the top of the container and also food hanging all out the sides. I open my food and there's a hair first thing. I close it drive all the way back to the restaurant, they had closed! Once I was done with my work day I took the food back! This lady that says she is is the owner basically looks at me like I'm crazy after I showed her how disgusting the lunch, presentation was horrible on top of the hair that was in my food! She says that the white boxes they use everything shows up. I told her It was disgusting , I ask her if she would eat out of something like that , she said YES it's not like I'm licking the top of it! Then she proceeded to tell me she normally wouldn't refund it bc I've had it for several hours and I should have come back when they opened back up as if she ran me, my day or my office! Told me she was helping me out by refunding my money! Then proceeded to tell me just don't come back and eat here again! She said she owned the place! I was blown away honestly, and not sure if I believe it that she does the way she handled this situation today! I left the refund, its not about the money. It's about how you treated a customer today, it's about the horrible leadership those babies that were working with you at the front experienced, they should not even had to witness things escalate! Its the representation not only for yourself as a so called business woman, but Blue Fin and your business partners! Ambiance, horrible! I tapped a star to post! Deserves zero!

The front staff are rude and disrespectful. They argue with customers and blame it on being short staffed. The only saving grace is the food and waitresses. Update- I got food poisoning before I even left the restaurant. Left throwing up the whole way home. I think they did something to my food.

First time here today, and I will say that this place is very, very average. Restaurant was pretty busy, men's restroom was disgusting. Was able to get a table fairly quickly however. Service was fine if not friendly, but food including apps and sushi all came at once with no room to put plates. I don't think they made any effort to time things appropriately. Gyoza was passable but sauce on lettuce wraps was very sweet and I kinda despise baby corn. Lettuce was fresh and crisp. Sushi came out at same time and I would say never order the sushi here. They have no idea what they are doing with sushi. Jagged cuts, Publix grocery fish quality. They didn't even slice the roll cleanly and pieces were all stuck together. Very amateur sushi production. Bowls and hibachi were about what you would expect at any quick hibachi place. Very average and the veggies were cooked several hours ago and were quite wilted. Really had no idea which vegetables they were, all mushy and mixed together. I get it's Rome GA but food is about what you would get at any mall in the 90s. Nothing remarkably good, a few things offensively bad. Just a very average to below average meal.

Came in for lunch and have eaten here since they opened but today the sushi/sashimi was very fishy smelling and the tuna which I usually love was very chewy, could barely cut it with a fork, and had to spit out. The manager/owner lady up front said after long discussion that she would replace 2 of the pieces but not the fishy smelling one and she said the sushi chef said the fish was fresh. She also said I had complained before and therefore that I should not order sushi here in the future. She nor anyone would smell the piece that was off. Very hurtful response for someone that had brought new citizens of Rome here. She also insulted me and showed no compassion whatsoever. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! My previous complaint was regarding the false advertising of white tuna and the seared but cold tuna they serve on the sushi combo plate which, since it is cooked, I don't consider sushi. I have had sushi with no complaint dozens upon dozens of times. I told my son what happened and he said, "Yeah, their sushi is iffy".

Sushi is old and dried out and spiral of turnips are old dried . Very over priced for sushi.

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!

I love Blue Fin! Best sushi and hibachi around! Lunch menu is great. I always get the bowl and roll!

This was the worst sushi I have ever eaten. The fish tasted like it had been run through a grinder. I will not return to blue fin

Food is delicious and has always been a favorite but tonight the hostess was beyond rude and disrespectful. Will not go back with her there or maybe ever. She was rude from the minute we walked in until we left when she and the cohost glared at us out the door. Called the manager, doubt it will help. Very disappointed.

I like it! My favorites are the Hibachi and the Mongolian Beef. Update::: I have ate here many time but today at lunch a roach ran across our table. I killed the roach, wrapped in napkin and discreetly told the waitress and gave her the napkin. I asked she let management know of the issue. When the bill came, no discount, no apology note no nothing. So much for me trying to be discreet and not letting other customers know. I guess they don't mind me telling you guys in a review since they didn't seem worried about it.

Blue fin has gotten my order wrong 3 times in a row. I have had to call each time to have the order corrected. The last time I spoke with them the owner AND an employee argued with me that they did everything right. They offered no solution, did not correct the order nor did they offer a credit. Not a good way to conduct business. I will not be giving them business going forward and would caution anyone else against it too. Terrible experience. If I could give a 0 star I would.

Do not go here and eat!! You get treated like crap when you have a gift card and they don't honor it. They messed up and put the money on the wrong gift card. The receipt has a different gift card number then the one they gave me. I am a traveling health care worker and was treated like crap. This establishment will never get my money again. They stole my 50 dollars for a gift card and won't honor it. The Manager Shandy said she would not give me money back. She said she can not prove the gift card was not used so she will not honor it. She can not even see if the gift card was used and when. What kind of system is that. The fact is she messed up on my gift card. She was very rude on the phone and told me over and over again how I was the problem and she was frustrated with me. She was nothing but unprofessional and hung up on me.

Went here a bit ago with my family, the food wasn't horrible but when we were asked how we wanted our steak cook everyone gave different answers (medium, well done, and medium rare.) All of them came out blue and when we asked the waiter about it they offered to have it fixed and didn't come back until we got the check. Outside of it, the food was good. Wait staff could've been better.

For tonight's dinner I choose the sashimi dinner which was excellent comparative to the average establishments found in North Georgia. Dinner was paired with bottle filtered cold Saki which was a little pricey and a water. In addition the mean was served with house soup and ginger salad. Although the meal does come with steamed rice I choose not to omit the rice to limit carbohydrate intake. I was greeted upon walking into the restaurant within moments and taken to a table promptly. As I was solo dining I requested to sit at the sushi bar so families could better utilize the table. The quality of the fish was singly above average and for the cost I would have expected a slightly higher quality fish. Overall, if your in the mood for Asian it's a good place to grab a meal.

Best California rolls and ginger dressing anywhere. I love the Angry Dragon roll best. Definitely the best place to go for sushi in Rome. You won't be disappointed.

It's hard to rate a place when you had a party of two and two different experiences. So I'll settle in the middle and tell you why. We started w/ an order of spring rolls. To be honest, they were disappointing. First, you only get two, although they are larger than some places. I didn't care much for the filling - lots of cabbage like you usually find in an egg roll instead of the rice noodles and lighter veggie filling in most spring rolls. I actually prefer the ones I buy from Walmart in the frozen section over these. I chose the sushi lunch w/ a choice of two rolls, ginger salad and miso soup. It was the most generous serving of salad I've gotten at an Asian place which was a plus since the dressing is awesome! The miso soup was spot on, not too strongly "fishy" from the dashi or the seaweed. I chose the shrimp tempura roll and the crispy crab roll. Both were very good. Not sure exactly what the dressing on the crab roll was, but it was yummy. If I were rating this place simply by my sushi lunch, it would be getting a 4-5 star rating. My husband chose the chicken teriyaki lunch and wouldn't order their hibachi again. The fried rice was pretty flavorless and didn't have anything in it - no veggies, egg, onion, etc... As someone else also said the veggies are chopped so fine as to be almost minced, which makes them overcooked and they have no distinct flavor. The chicken looked to be just a cooked chicken breast w/ no seasoning, cooked until it was dried out, and had some teriyaki sauce that tasted like it came from a bottle drizzled over it. If we are in the mood for hibachi, we won't be coming back here for it. Based on the hibachi and spring roll only, I would only give Blue Fin a 1-2 star rating. The service was prompt even though the place was nearly full. The server was attentive and just what you look for in a waitress. When we want sushi, we will be back!

Ordered rapid pickup, food was great, service was prompt, and it was hot! 10/10 coming back

Roaches. Dirty water. So. Right before lockdown I went here. The waitress had an attitude immediately. I figured maybe she's having a bad day so I'll be even extra kind, bc I'm human, I get it. Well my mom got her stir fried rice, said it tasted really weird, the waitress offered her another plate, my mom declined, the waitress just walks off, we don't see her again as she's left the check. I thought they'd offer to take it off the bill but I guess not. I laugh bc I'm like well she's kinda screwed her tip at this point, but then I realize I've had dirty water this entire time. ‍ I figure well this is still a laughable experience, but then the coup de gras, just about as we get ready to leave - a roach - crawled across our table. We got up, informed the hostess who went over and caught it in a napkin, came back and profusely apologized, and apologized for the rice not being taken off our ticket - but didn't remove it - and we left. I've been to this establishment more than once and each time time food was subpar. But this? This experience cemented my decision to never return. I really wish there was a decent quick sushi place in Rome. And Ru Sans is a joke.

Just called to be added to the waitlist. The girl that answered the phone was completely rude. Will never be going back. Work on your FOH

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.

Favorite place ever to eat sushi. Seriously, you will not find any better any where close to here...I've looked. This place is amazing. Great atmosphere! Ask for Shandy as your waitress. She's amazing :)

Remember we are in Rome GA! This is currently the best Japanese restaurant in the area and boldly deserves four stars. Sushi: good variety, and fresh (as fresh as it can be in GA) Service: the couple of dozen times I've eaten here I've never had bad service or slow, even on a busy night. Fried rice is not no die for, but tasty. Veggies (in the stir fry): I love my veggies but these taste like shredded bagged veggies. I've enjoyed BlueFin on every visit, I hope they keep it up but learn there is room for improvement. Groups: only room for one large group

Seven of us ate there this week for a birthday celebration. We got the nice private area. The food was fantastic and the service wonderful!

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!

Not at all happy with the hibachi. Had the fillet,shrimp and scallops. Fillet was tough with no flavor, shrimp were Ok, scallops was pretty good but the rice was awful. For the money I paid, this was a poor deal. I will not be back.

Food is good but this place is about as bad as McDonalds is at getting orders right. Last 3 times I've had either things missing in my to go order or the food not prepared like it was ordered.

Great place to eat. The sushi is tied for the best in town in my opinion. Kind of expensive but it's worth it.

This Is NOT a Sashimi restaurant. I was disappointed especially after it being recommended. They do have other dishes that looked good. I sat at the Sushi bar, but there was no Japanese sushi chef but rather 2 very nice gentlemen who did not carry the pride of the craft of being a Sushi Chef. They were not familiar nor carry a few Sushi condiments nor one of my favorite, IKA/squid . I ordered salmon skin hand roll, it usually comes with rice which I don't prefer and omit. I asked to have other veggies and waitress said they don't do that. They didn't put any veggies not even masago. Obviously she mis-understood my order. Hand roll was the worse I've ever had, and the lack of Japanese pride deflated the whole Sashimi Japanese spirit of the chef craft wanting to please the customer and show off their expertise.

So I eat at Blue Fin on average at least once a week. The menu is pretty standard for this type of restaurant at Lunch. I always order the shrimp hibachi lunch, pad Thai, basil noodles, or split the 3 tool special with my husband. It all taste fine. I'm giving them 4 stars instead or 5 because I feel like the lunch menu is very limited. I wish they had some of the dinner appetizers on the lunch menu. Also I'm a water drinker, and the water always taste funky.

I have been many times and they have been great every time. I personally get the orange chicken bowl with the California rolls and it is amazing. Their avocado rolls are also an amazing thing to add and they are small, simple and cheap.

I feel like BlueFin has gone down-hill in recent years. As a Roman native, I remember it first opening and it was "the happening" restaurant for many years. The service was fast, the sushi was good and the prices were decent. Since then, the prices have not changed, but the quality has. The ambiance is just fine. They have redone the restaurant in recent years. There are now booths (instead of the tables that they used to only have), they have an updated wall color (tiffany blue), and new artwork. It is very aesthetically pleasing. The hibachi menu is lacking. I feel as if you could get the same quality of food elsewhere for a lesser price (especially at dinner where you are looking to pay around $14 for chicken). Very overpriced for not a lot of food and not great quality either. The ginger salad dressing is severely watered down and almost wilts the lettuce after sitting in front of you for a few minutes. The soup is very salty, but still tasty, and the vegetables that come with the hibachi are so finely cut that they almost resemble a veggie mash. The rice has almost no seasoning and sometimes can seem overcooked. For as long as this restaurant has been in business, you would think that they would have this down to a science, but alas, I am almost always disappointed when I eat here. The service is lacking, the food quality is lacking and for the price, I think a cook-in-front-of-you hibachi restaurant would be a better option. Spend your money elsewhere.

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.

My hubby and I just recently became sushi fanatics--driving many a mile to experience the range of sushi flavors in Georgia & Tennessee. Out of the many places we have visited, this was the least fresh and most unpleasant of the bunch. The decor was beautiful--so I had high hopes for Bluefin Sushi. We ordered 3 different sushi rolls--The Surf & Turf, Zen, and Samurai. Upon arrival at our table, the smell of unfresh fish quickly took over. I decided to try it out anyway--and it was terrible. Not only were each of the rolls a strange texture, but it was all at a nasty room temperature! My husband, who has never experienced food poisoning, had a rather rough night after dining here! Never visiting again! If I am in Rome, I will definitely go to Sumo or Ru-San's.

Mediocre and overly oily American-Japanese food. Service is ok until we have a more than 10 people group today. Half missing appetizers and half missing entrees. A friend's water has not been delivered until about 3 entrees are on the table.

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!!

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.
