ごちそうさまでした It was a feast! Sushi chefs are so friendly and they really take pride in what they do. Fresh ingredients and very authentic Japanese sushi
While browsing through OC week, I stumbled upon this gem in Newport Beach called Bluefin. We were hoping to get the OC week menu, but it was only available for dinner. However, I spotted a lunch omakase for $60 each, plus tax and tip. It looked pretty similar to the OC week menu, but with a slight price bump which was still worth it. We started with an appetizer platter (had shrimp, tofu, crab tempura) then moved on to crudo, nigiri platter (with uni and toro), clam miso soup, Chilean sea bass, and concluded with an apple with ice cream dessert. Overall, the food was delicious, and the fish was fresh. We were pretty full after all that. The chef was friendly, but service could be better. Overall will definitely recommend trying and will be back!
Bluefin was so good. I've been wanting to check it out and it was worth going. My friend and I both got the omakase and I got the lychee margarita. The drink was delicious and my friend also enjoyed her drink. The omakase was so good. There was so much thought and preparation into each dish. Every dish that was presented was fantastic and need I say more about the taste. The flavors of all the dishes were AMAZING. The restaurant isn't too big so I would recommend making reservations. This plaza can get very packed because it's very close to Newport. This restaurant is worth checking out!!
Came to bluefin for oc restaurant week because they had a special $25 lunch! i got the chirashi which comes with miso soup, salad, and sashimi + seasoned rice. the fish were all excellent quality and very delicious! the seasoned rice was beautiful, colorful, and wonderfully flavored!! it had some sweet unagi sauce mixed in as well as some pickled ginger, if those flavors entice you! i thought it was just a little too sweet personally. But this lunch was a very good deal imo so I enjoyed my visit here!
Best sushi restaurant in Newport Beach period. We came here for OC Restaurant week and it was amazing! All the dishes were fresh and the perfect temperature and delicious. If you are ever in Newport Coast and craving sushi then this is the place. Happy Yelping!
This is a worthy location to try the other side of sushi: Japanese sourced fish. I truly love the delicious and delicate Japanese species and they usually have a dozen or so. Expensive, but the quality is there.
Hadn't been here for awhile but recently came for dinner and it pleasantly surprised me. Got a sushi special/ omakase and it was delicious. Everything was very fresh! Pacing was good, not rushed but not long waits between bites. Service was great but we were also the only ones in the restaurant (came around 8/830 on a weekday),
Lovely sushi restaurant located in the Newport Coast shopping center. Lovely setting very accommodating staff, great service delicious high-quality sushi. The lychee martini was especially delicious.. full bar. Delightful, it gets crowded so come early !
My wife and I came here for our 1 year wedding anniversary and we absolutely loved the omakase menu! Couldn't tell you the exact names of the dishes , but each plate was so good! The outdoor seating was comfortable and you get a nice breeze from the ocean. Service was timely and professional. Will definitely come again.
