The comments cited below are a sample of the full tally across 14 threads.
What people say, in short
Bluefin draws both sushi recommendations and substantial dissent. The Brodie restaurant is shown here; several diners name it explicitly, alongside more general Austin-brand recommendations that do not distinguish outlets. One diner praises the nigiri, while others describe Bluefin as a regular choice. Another favors Brodie's quality relative to cost. Critics report disappointing sushi or unseasoned rice, and one found a delivery order especially poor. Some prefer its ramen while finding the sushi merely acceptable. The split is significant enough that the favorable votes should not be read as consensus on quality.
