    This has always been my favourite restaurant in Winnipeg. Best sushi I have ever had. If you plan on going here I would definitely recommend the Bluefish Scallops and the Ben roll. I went here with my girlfriend for our 6 month anniversary and we had so much fun. The staff are so nice and the food is spectacular.

    First time dining here and I was very impressed! The service was amazing! Food came freshly prepared and fast. I’m new in the city and I love the location, the Exchange District. The building has a lot of charm but the ambience/decor is unexciting. We ordered: Cajun Seared Salmon Sashimi , $19. 9/10 Salmon Sashimi, $18. 10/10! Spicy Ben Roll, $14.5. 10/10! Red Dragon Roll, $14. 8/10 Lobster Roll, $16. 9/10 A little pricey but the quality of food was incredible! Highly recommended and will be back for sure.

    Blu Fish has given me and my wife the most consistent positive experiences for dinners out. Sushi is always fresh, tasty and high quality. Service is consistently exceptional. Definitely our favorite sushi spot in Winnipeg!

    The restaurant staff is so aware of the needs of their customers when it comes to Celiac Disease. The staff actually discussed my food choices and next time I will be comfortable ordering from a large range of food.

    Service and food were great! We booked for the earlier reservation time because we have family members with celiac and food allergies. The staff was very accomodating. We appreciate that. Thanks.

    Plenty of food, good value, but not super flavourful. Some dishes felt underseasoned, some seemed too elaborate with their ingredients so that tastes didn't stand out. Good service, friendly, speedy. The decor is outdated and the bathrooms aren't welcoming.

    The server was very pleasant. The sashimi was good but some of the other dishes were underwhelming. I had high expectations given positive reviews from others and enticing photos but I was disappointed, especially for $300 for dinner for 4. Its very unlikely that I will return.

    Just one bite of the BluFish Scallops lets you know you are in the hands of a sushi master - a must have! Went early on a mid-week night, so it was quiet and good for conversation. Enjoyed the tuna goma-ae (as always), Red Dragon and Sunrise and California rolls, vegetable tempura (delicious!) and a selection of niglri sushi. Too much for 2, but still left a lot to try next time. Thanks for a great evening!

    Unfortunately when we arrived the restaurant was busy and so very LOUD. Our table was by the hallway to the bathroom giving us a good view of the scrapes and gouges on the wall and the dirty floor. The men's bathroom was not clean and the flooring is in need of replacement. Although our server was very nice, it was 20 minutes before anyone came to our table to bring water and take our order. The dynamite and exchange rolls were quite good, however, the New Style Sashimi had quite a bit more than a drizzle of warm olive oil (it could swim in it) and the Japanese rice paper spring rolls were over powered by the spicy sauce. We have eaten at Blufish before and quite enjoyed the food and experience. This may have just been an off night.
