Ambience: very nice. You can celebrate a range of activities here due to the set up and decor.Service: They are very nice and attentive. They made sure we were enjoying our food and accommodated requests.Food: flavorful and nice portions.

Amazing customer experience Always attentive but at the same time respectful! Ordering take out is always so easy with them being organized and having an accurate time in which I can walk down to grab my food from my place within the time given. And best part, they REPECT THEIR OPEN HOURS. Not like some local businesses out here

We like this place. I am fine with rather simple sushi, but Blowfish serves theirs with more toppings and sauces, generally speaking. They recently ish moved into a much larger space and this is appreciated as we always had to wait for a table in their old space. Service is always friendly and attentive. Busy but not too loud. I usually get a bowl (hyper chirashi?) with a bunch of fresh seafood, rice and sauce. Very good, nice textures and flavors. Bf usually gets the rolls/maki. All very good. Some rolls are better than others and I forget which ones he likes best. We celebrated a family member's bday in the late summer and had a very nice time.

You had me at unagi Visited @blowfish_chicago and this was my second time here! They definitely expanded the restaurant which is wonderful for them and their sushi quality has not changed it's still so fresh and delicious as I remember:) pictured here is the shrimp tempura and spider roll and in the other two are unagi and dragon rolls The ambiance is so romantic and great for groups of people if you want to bring your friends for a lunch or dinner date, and the service is so sweet and very helpful:)

Closer to 3/5. It was okay. You can see from the pictures. Ootoro sashimi came out a bit icey, not much marbling of the fat. Miso soup was okay, big size and a bit salty. The other rolls and shishito peppers all had the same issue of having too much sauce. Portions were huge (like look at the peppers!) but it was drenched in some teriyaki sauce and it was too intense for my palette. Sometimes less is more. Would not so recommend but maybe that's just me.

Five stars for the Blowfish Contemporary Sushi & Ramen Restaurant in Edgewater. We came in as a group of 3 for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and made a reservation in advance but it wasn't needed, it wasn't too crowded in the restaurant.Our server was very friendly, we started our order with the Gyoza and Calamari appetizers - both were delicious, you get a big portion size of the calamari (at least enough for 3 people). For the entree, I ordered the flaming tuna poke bowl. That was absolutely amazing - it is a massive portion size I took half of it home for dinner the same night, lots of flavors and sauces and good amount of tuna in the bowl itself. The prices are very reasonable - I was expecting to pay more being in Chicago than I normally would for similar food in the suburbs but it was around the same pricing.Overall I'd recommend a visit - great food and service!

Food is generally good. Service is usually slow because they staff 1 or 2 servers and they are responsible for the carry out orders as well.

What the hecky heck???? How have I not reviewed this joint??? This is me and The Queen's go to place when we want ramen but don't want to drive anywhere and get it. For a place that does delivery, Blowfish does a pretty good jog of getting your food to you while it is sill hot and that is a plus for me. They have the usual appetizers. We always get the Gyoza (pan-fried beef dumplings topped with sweet & sour sauce, and scallions), Shrimp Shumai (steamed dumplings topped with sweet & sour sauce, and scallions) and Pork Buns (Holland pork belly with sunomono salad in steamed buns). All are good, but pretty standard fare.Where Blowfish excels is in the ramen. I love their Classic Ramen with the "Tonkotsu" (pork) soup noodle topped with Holland pork chashu. I usually will request extra noodles and pork, or sometimes brisket added to it. This will create enough of a meal to cover two days. I love their Tonkotsu broth, it is as they describe, silky but I am going to throw in smooth as well.The Queen goes for the Beef Brisket Ramen because she loves brisket and spicy stuff. I don't mess with this one because of the chili peppers, but if you like it on the spicy side, this one is for you.The Doctor and The Queen are fans of the Salmon Sunrise Bowl (Fresh salmon, smoked salmon, edamame, avocado, scallions, shitake, mango, pickled cucumber, sesame seeds topped with shallots, creamy yuzu mayo, sweet soy sauce, wasabi ponzu, shallots, and tobiko). The Doctor says that is very fresh in flavor and he usually cleans his bowl when he orders this.California rolls were good, but by the time you get ramen and appetizers, you ain't got no room for them. We just might have to do a ramen free night in order to try out some of the rolls. For now, the ramen is it for us.

I would give this place 4.5/5. The pricing of the food is very reasonable for the quality of the food. The salmon sashimi was fresh and buttery. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Dishes I recommend are the garlic ramen, the pork bao appetizer, and the salmon sashimi. I'm excited to come back and try more items on their menu! Highly recommend that you give this place a try.There's plenty of parking around the area as well. Paid street parking and free parking in the neighborhoods. The inside of the restaurant looked like a fancy New York style bar. I loved the modern, sleek aesthetic of the restaurant.

This is my favorite sushi spot! I never make a reservation and always get lucky & seated right away. Food is great and the prices are not bad.
