Bluefin Restaurant

This wonderful and hidden sushi place is great for those enjoying traditional Japanese fare. What makes this place special for me is that they have a really expansive menu and fantastic grilled items. I can't recommend enough the grilled Tuna Jaw absolutely amazing. The photo attached is the lunch special. Service : 7/10 Food : 9/10 Value : 10/10

I was impressed with the quality of the fish and with the prices. Lunch combos were $11 and $16. The nigiri pieces each had an interesting glaze. I had never enjoyed mackerel before eating here, and I've had a lot of sushi! The only piece that wasn't excellent in appearance was the Tamago egg piece, but the taste was fine.

Not really sure how my experience differed so much from others, but this was certainly some of the worst sushi I've had in Boston. My dining partner and I got an assortment of nagiri and most of it was way past it's freshness limit. My seared tuna was cold (clearly pre-seared and served out of a refrigerated container) and the seared salmon was actually just bad (also cold.) We were both really sick the rest of the night and the next day.

Wafu-ya is by far the best Japanese restaurant around. Even surrounded by other eateries in Porter Square's Lesley building, it surpasses all. I eat there several times a week with a friend on the autistism spectrum and the staff are super accommodating and wonderful. Tano and Christian behind the sushi counter are incredible at their craft and the wait staff are exceptional. The food is to die for with a extremely reasonable price (especially for lunch) for the quality and quantity. I will continue to frequent Wafu-ya and you'll probably see my friend and I at the sushi counter for lunch twice a week.
