The interior of Blowfish Sushi Lounge is more upscale urban lounge than typical sushi joint and that contemporary sensibility carries over into the menu, which offers some unique takes on Japanese fare. You will find more traditional choices across the entire menu from the appetizers (edamame beans, $5.75; pork and vegetable gyoza, $7.75) to the sushi rolls (California, $9.75; Dynamite, $13.75) to the entrees (teriyaki chicken, $17.50; chirashi don — fresh sashimi on rice, $21.50). There are also unique creations like the Blowfish special roll ($15) and its unique sushi and sashimi duo choices, which feature one piece served in the raw traditional manner and the other lightly seared and topped with a special sauce. Blowfish lives up to the lounge portion of its moniker with a good selection of martinis including the Tokyo Saketini — gin, sake and cucumber for $9 each.
