We've been to Blowfish sushi many times and enjoy the menu. The cajun, rainbow & tuna roles are the best. Only complaint is that the service is slow; we only go there if we have time to park for awhile. Would rather spend the extra money here than go somewhere else for a run-of-the-mill sushi menu.

Ok...this has to be the WORST Japanese fusion I've ever had! The menu was very limited, but I didn't mind it. We ordered a wakame salad for $7.50, that was maybe the second best dish that night. The we tried...something Unagi...after we ordered it, we found out it was just ordering 2 pieces of sushi, and one with a "kick" to it (they added cream cheese). Almost all their sushi had cream cheese to it. The first roll was the blowfish special, that was the best roll that night. I really liked that roll. Then we had the sushi pizza, creamy scallop/scallop special and the crunchy salmon. The sushi pizza would have tasted better with smoked salmon, we swear that's what the menu and the waitress said..but when it came...it was regular super thinly sliced salmon.
I've never had such a bad scallop special/creamy scallop roll before!!! They suck left over tempera bits with seasoning INSIDE the roll with super thin layer of creamy scallop on the top of the roll! same with the crunchy salmon! we thought it was going to be salmon skin with raw salmon. but once again, it was left over tempera bits with seasoning in the middle. I'm surprise you can pack the tempera crumbles in the rolls so well, super old and oily will probably do it. but that takes some skills, i'll give you that.
overall, i don't think i'm going to be coming back. it's a shame cause theblowfish roll was so good, but everything else was pretty.....below average -

An innovative menu, and a lounge concept makes Blowfish a valuable addition to Calgary's downtown nightlife. However, service was a problem for me...for instance, sitting down in a after-rush restaurant, I understand, it takes time to clear tables....but sitting beside tables full of dirty dishes during my entire meal makes it far from a enjoyable and appetizing experience. Inconsistent food times and inattentive servers leave a bitter taste to the delicious food.
Overall, I'm "BLOWn" away -- far away. Not planning to return there for a while. -

This place is ok, but i feel the hype around it has more to do with the hip modern interior than the food.
The menu was full of awkward combos and specialty rolls which made it difficult to order what we wanted. We settle on two combo plates that came closest.
When the food came it was really mediocre, although artfully served. And the prices were exorbitant, it being nearly $6 for the avocado roll!
Nothing was terrible about our experience but the combination of cost, food quality and atmosphere left us feeling really unsatisfied and with other good sushi options in the city we won't be going back. -

I didn't mind the atmosphere, its a small place, modern decor, dim lighting with techno music playing. The menu was limited and quite pricey. The rolls were around $15, and about 8 pieces each. I tried a few different rolls, they weren't really anything special, I would say about average or even less. The service was slow even though it wasn't very busy. Overall, it wasn't bad, but I don't think I would go back.

Great unique dishes and a hip-hop vibe. A little more expensive than most.
