Blowfish is a fabulous and much needed addition to the commercialized glamour of Santana Row. It brings a funky LA/Miami/Tokyo vibe to sleepy Silicon Valley. The environment is fun and loud with a very attractive crowd and waitstaff, and sometimes graphic anime playing on screens throughout the restaurant. The food is exotic with a beautiful presentation- the entrees are mediocre, but the appetizers, sushi rolls and sashimi are fantastic! My personal favs are the Pyramid, Ritsu Roll and the Sashimi Combo. The bar serves a variety of hot and cold sake and specialty sake-based cocktails like the Mango Mojito and Peach Nympho and stays upon until 2am for the night crawlers! There are locally-renowned DJs spinning house and electronic music Thurs-Sat, and on Mondays. The food is a little overpriced, but what on Santana Row isn't? You pay typical San Francisco prices, but for top-quality food and a unimitable ambience.
