Bluefin Restaurant - Japanese restaurant in East Norriton - 2820 Dekalb Pike, USA

My wife and I went here for dinner and had a great experience. Two things right off the bat - one, you should make a reservation because this place is packed for dinner, and rightfully so. And two, it’s BYOB, so if you’re looking to have a few drinks with dinner bring whatever you’d like. My wife and I didn’t know either of these until we walked in. The staff was very friendly and explained that they were fully booked for the night but they might be able to squeeze us in if we didn’t mind waiting. We were in no rush so we went to grab some beer and came back and waited until two seats opened up at the sushi counter. As we were waiting, we struck up conversation with a few people who were either leaving or waiting to pick up take out, and every single person said “wait it out, trust me it’ll be worth it”. They were right; I’m glad we waited it out, it was indeed well worth it. We ordered the chefs pork dumplings and the tako carpaccio right away, and followed it up with three or four delicious rolls of sushi - each with their own signature taste and texture. The chefs on the other side of the counter offered great recommendations and general conversation without missing a beat on preparing the next dish in front of them. 10/10, fantastic experience. BlueFin will become part of our regularly scheduled rotation.

Spent a date night while visiting Philly/Norristown area at Bluefin. The staff were gracious and friendly, attentive, and great at giving us suggestions on portions. We sat at the counter, which was neat as we were able to watch the sushi masters at their craft, yet also be amused by their banter with the obvious local and repeat customers. The sushi (which we had the mvp roll, red October roll, and the oyster mushroom roll) were some of the best we have had. It was definitely a great experience for those of us who love sushi but do not get to indulge in “great” sushi very often. I would highly recommend!!!

This is the best sushi in the Philly area and it’s right in a shopping center in the suburbs. You wouldn’t know it once you enter that you’re still in the suburbs. It has a cool metropolitan vibe ambiance. You have to make reservations and if you’re lucky, you may get a seat at the sushi bar. My favorite is the Spicy Tuna Sundae which I have to order every time I am there. You can’t go wrong with any of their dishes and sushi rolls. Everything is so fresh and delectable! It is pricey so we go for special occasions.

Always a good meal when we get bluefin sushi. The fish is the freshest and all of the rolls are just so well done and thoughtfully curated. We also love substituting salmon for some of the tuna dishes and it’s always perfect. The chef’s special roll with the shishito pepper is also always amazing. Definitely the best sushi in the area.

Had severe diarrheas after 3-4 hours leaving the restaurant (ordered oyster and salmon roll). I am a big seafood lover. Been to Japan and coastal cities in the US for amazing seafood and never had problems. Don’t know what to say. The food taste good but I wouldn’t go back again.

Bluefin is always an incredible suburban destination for a superb sushi and Japanese experience. I couldn’t recommend it more! They are super accommodating with rolls and made them without rice which was great with a group of people who have diabetic sensitivities and others who are trying to be conscious of their consumption. Everything is amazing. More than the food though, the chefs and the staff are so kind and helpful and I am very grateful for that as it really adds to the overall experience there. The one waiter remembered my family and even complimented me on my chopstick skills. I was very touched! I’ve been back so many times since and each time is better than the next. All sushi restaurants should aspire to be like Bluefin!

We've been going here since before Covid and it's one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Food is always delicious and staff is very friendly and attentive! Also Love that they give a little complimentary dessert. It's BYOB so if you want an alcoholic drink be sure to bring some yourself and I also suggest making a reservation as they have limited seating and full up very quick!

Must make reservation. This place is just WOW. This place completely blew my mind with how delicious the food was. Total hidden gem this is a must visit place.
