Now, legal assistant Jennifer Serna is ready to present all the research for her pick.

She says this spot has become a family favorite thanks to their dynamic menu and wallet-friendly prices.

It's located in Boca Raton and it's called Bluefin Sushi.

My name is Jacob Israel, I'm the general manager of Bluefin Sushi & Thai in Boca Raton.

Chef Mindy worked in Thai restaurants in South Beach in the '80s and '90s, became friends with owners of Japanese restaurants and realized that they should probably be doing things together and start working together, so they started putting together some of the best Thai dishes and Japanese dishes together, and working on restaurants and coming up with concepts like that, and then, as time has progressed, this is where we've ended up.

The location in Boca Raton has been here 18 years, they were one of the first sushi restaurants here in the area.

What I believe sets us apart is, one, our fish is extremely fresh, we've worked many years on trying to source the best, and also, our Thai side includes a lot of different cuisine from northern, middle Thai and southern Thai.

The ambiance and decor that we want in the restaurant is something that feels home, vibey, with a little bit of an upscale touch to it, but still where you feel comfortable, you can come in with your friends, come in with your family, and enjoy your time while you're here.

What we want our clients to say when they're done is, "I loved it and I'll be back tomorrow."

Bluefin Sushi is a place where you can come in, enjoy your time with your friends, your family, enjoy the different flavors and cuisines that we have to offer, and you have a little bit of a tour of all of Thailand and a little bit of all of Japan.

Ooh.

Tell me about this menu that you love so much, Jennifer.

For Asian dining, it's the perfect place to go, it has all the staples that you are looking for, you just can't have a wrong meal there, when you walk in, you're greeted by the friendly staff, and they've come to know me and my family, it's a little bit off of the beaten path, so you don't really see it right away, but once you come in, you feel like home and it's just a great meal every single time.

I like that, all right, Michelle?

I thought it was wonderful, first impression was good, it's in a little strip mall, they were very accommodating, staff was good.

Jack, what'd you think?

I thought it was lovely, yeah, it's a beautiful room and service was really quick, we sat down right away and all the food came really quickly too, so...

Okay.

Well, let's dig into the food, Jennifer, go ahead and tell me what you had this last time.

We started with a sashimi appetizer, we just got the tuna, and we did salmon, and it was a great portion, then we went into our main meals, my daughter bought chicken pad Thai, and it wasn't super saucy, it wasn't spicy, it was the perfect temperature for her, she doesn't like anything too spicy, and I got a sushi bomb.

[Michelle] Okay, which is?

[Jennifer] Which is tuna, salmon, it has asparagus, avocado, and then, it's slightly tempuraed, and then [Michelle] Oh, so it's a roll.

[Jennifer] It's a roll, yes, and then, they put an eel sauce on top with a spicy mayo.

It was very good, it was huge.

[Michelle] That sounds like a lot.

[Jennifer] It was a big roll, but it was very, very good, and then, we finished it off with their Thai donuts, which is light and airy, it's fried, like, tempura-style and has a nice little cream sauce.

[Michelle] Condensed milk.

[Jennifer] Condensed milk, yes.

Okay, Michelle, tell me about your meal.

I had the shrimp shumai, which was very good, and then, my other appetizer was the naruto hamachi, which is the roll in the cucumber... [Michelle] Oh, it's a roll.

Oh, okay.

[Michelle] A cucumber-wrapped roll, and that was amazing, yeah, that was really good, and then, followed by chicken green curry and the Seafood in the Red Sea.

Okay.

All right, how about you, Jack?

We started with the gyoza, which is sort of my litmus test at any, you know, Asian-style restaurant, it was very good, you know, the taste was good, and our entrees were... We had a red dragon roll, which was lovely, really fresh, again... [Michelle] What is that?

[Jack] Came out very quickly.

Well, it has tuna, it has asparagus, it has, you know, cream cheese and imitation crab also, and it was lovely.

[Michelle] Is that fried or is that fresh?

[Jack] Fresh, yeah, not fried, that was lovely, and then, we also had the Volcano Chicken, which was fantastic, it was sweet, and there was a little bit of heat getting it medium-spicy, and the spice kind of built a little bit as we ate, so... [Michelle] Is that why it's called the volcano?

I believe so, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Did you have any dessert?

Yes, the Banana Explosion, which... Ooh, tell me about that.

Well, you went from a volcano to an explosion, okay.

Yeah, it was, you know, a climactic experience, so... [Michelle] So tell me about the explosion.

It was a fried banana with, you know, vanilla ice cream in the middle, and the presentation definitely looked like an explosion, and we could not finish it, but it was lovely, the little bit that we did have, so... [Michelle] Anything to drink?

[Jack] Yes, we had artisan sake, which was lovely.

And you said it was in a strip mall.

Was it hard to find?

It was a little bit in the back, yeah, it was a little bit hard to find and the lights weren't on, I don't know if it was just that night, there was no...

The signage was down, so that was a little... Easy to park, though?

Easy to park.

[Michelle] 'Cause it's a strip mall.

It's right in front.

Okay.

Well, Bluefin Sushi was your pick, Jennifer, give me a summary.

For a nice comfort meal and a relaxing area, that's definitely the place to go for you, you're always gonna have a good meal when you go to that restaurant.

Okay.

Michelle?

It's very, very good, I would go back...

I saw the sushi and sashimi presentations coming off the sushi bar, which looked amazing, so next time I go back, that's what I'm getting.

Great.

Jack?

Great value, large menu and service with a bow.
