We haven’t been to bluefin for a long time, but we were quite disappointed with our experience. It wasn’t that the food was bad, but it was lackluster. There are so many wonderful new sushi restaurants around that have Creative delicious foods. Unfortunately bluefin apparently has chosen to stay with.its menu of many years ago. Additionally, it is very expensive which which wouldn’t be so bad if the food was more exciting.

I like their fresh ingredients, the taste is just right, and the outdoor environment is also very good. Whenever I have friends who haven't eaten here, I will definitely invite them to try it. The CP value is very high, and it is one of the restaurants I go to most often.

Best sushi in OC. Almost all of the sushi chefs have been there for years. Almost no staff turnover. Even the servers have been there forever. That speaks volumes. And you can’t beat the location at Crystal Cove. What a special place.
