Fresh tuna nigiri with uni and tobiko gunkan on a slate board
Montrose Shopping Park · Est. 2004

Montrose sushi,
done with care.

A neighborhood Japanese kitchen on Honolulu Avenue. Daily-fresh fish, sixty-plus specialty rolls, a full sake list, and a patio worth lingering on. Twenty years, same corner.

The Blue Fish way

Genuinely fresh fish, generous plates, and a room the neighborhood has quietly kept to itself for twenty years.

Japanese and Pacific flavors, a wall of specialty rolls you could work through for a year, and the kind of care that keeps regulars coming back, without a hint of fuss.
