The fish in all dishes were very fresh and delicious that evening. We sat at the sushi bar, and the sushi chef was very attentive. He customized our rolls, and didn't seem to nickel and dime us for little changes. I've been to this restaurant when it was definitely overpriced, but tonight was an exceptionally good value, and we enjoyed every aspect of it. This is a great sushi bar when they keep the price is reasonable! (Understanding, of course, that it is Newport Beach! $$$)

For my wife's birthday dinner I chose Bluefin and we both enjoyed both the menu choices, our food and the service. I chose the Bluefin omakase and she chose the shabu shabu. We had an appetizer of ankimo which was superb. Our server was attentive without being overwhelming or hovering. The portions were better than expected . My choice of omakase did not disappoint and appealed to the eye as well as my palate. Delicious! I would recommend Bluefin to anyone who wants a special Japanese sushi experience.

They have outside seatings with heaters (for the cold weather). The restaurant itself is pretty small. One long bench against left wall and tables then chairs. The right half of the restaurant is a bar with sushi chefs behind it. The sushi was great. We ordered all of the Bluefin's special sushi. Very fresh. Didn't detect any fishy odor at all. Some of the sushi served the way it's supposed to be, eaten without wasabi or soy sauce. The service was pretty bad, though. The place wasn't even full, and we waited over ten minutes to get someone's attention to ask for a refill on hot tea. That was pretty bad. The staff are friendly, though. Parking was also very bad for the weekend, but if you live in the area, you should already know that.
