Bluefin

The food was excellent -- both fish and vegetarian options. It's a little pricey, but not above what I would expect from the area or for that quality. They have DIY table service. Basically, you order up front, get your food on a tray, and seat yourself (you can't sit there if you order for takeout).

Once we finally figured out when it was open (Thursday-Sunday is the correct answer as of May, 2023), we were delighted to try this place due to its quirky location right along the C&O canal. We were not disappointed. My wife and I split 3 California rolls, and 2 Boston rolls; the overall quality was excellent. We ordered online right when they opened (at 1 pm on a Thursday), and the food was ready about 20 minutes later. Upon pickup, the staff were very friendly. A bit pricey; the above described was $44 with tax and tip. Due to the quality, we would definitely return.

I was really excited to try this place. I was reading the reviews, and I was like— I must try. I really wanted to try the cucumber special roll. I uploaded a picture here. It was really good. The staff was friendly and nice and the vibe of the restaurant is cute. It is a little hard to find, but maps does help decently.

As you walk into this Tokyo inspired sushi restaurant you immediately fall in love. A sushi bar dominates the enternace where the self service ordering style compliments the mom and pop spin on traditional Asian etiquette. The food was delicious and the only disappointment is I wish I had ordered more! After living in Tokyo for three years this is the closest I have felt to eating authentic sushi. I highly recommend you trek into Georgetown and check out Bluefin.
