Honestly. Blue Fin gets way too much flack from people who know nothing about sushi. I'm not saying I'm a sushi-eating-pro or anything like that, but Blue...read more

The Scene
Inside the Porter Exchange mall sits an inconspicuous corridor of Japanese restaurants and Asian supermarkets. Locals vouch that Blue Fin outshines them all, and the line frequently stretching out the door backs up that claim. College kids and under-30 types slurp udon and chopstick vibrant arrays of sushi at the small sushi bar, and at tables inside almost bare walls. Attentive servers see that no need goes unfulfilled.
The Food
A chewy spicy beef tongue salad arrives in a sweet and garlicky, soy-derived yakiniku sauce over seaweed, iceberg lettuce and cabbage. Soft-shell crab begs for less cooking. Sushi slices are on the skimpy side, and the not-so delicate aroma of the Uni raises questions about its freshness. But rich, titillating monkfish liver medallions in lemony soy-based ponzu sauce absolve all sins. Save a little room for dessert: order one scoop each of red bean and green tea ice creams for a fruity finish.
