About Bluefin Tuna & Sushi
Bluefin Tuna & Sushi is a practical Portland pick when the brief is sushi without a complicated booking plan. Treat it as a casual repeat option rather than a special-occasion counter: useful for dates or small groups that already want sushi, less persuasive if the night needs awards, a known chef format, or confirmed outdoor seating.
For Portland evening planning, Bluefin Tuna & Sushi is easiest to evaluate on the few confirmed basics: it is in Portland, the dress code is casual, and the posted schedule is Tuesday through Sunday, with Monday closed. Beyond those details, do not build the night around unverified assumptions about format, awards, pricing, outdoor seating, or a particular service style.
The useful read is simple: consider it when the group wants a casual Portland stop and the posted hours work for the plan. If the goal is a destination meal with public accolades, published chef narrative, detailed pricing guidance, or a clearly documented format, the safer move is to confirm those details directly before committing.
Use it for a low-friction evening plan, not a milestone plan
The main advantage is clarity around timing. Bluefin Tuna & Sushi is closed Monday, open Tuesday through Thursday from 4–9 PM, Friday and Saturday from 4–10 PM, and Sunday from 4–9 PM. That makes it easier to place in an evening itinerary than a venue with unclear operating hours.
That also sets the ceiling for what can be said with confidence. The verified details do not include awards, price guidance, named signature dishes, seating information, outdoor seating, or a defined chef-led format. For a casual plan, the known facts may be enough. For a larger celebration, confirm the details that matter to your group before treating it as the anchor of the night.
Where it fits in a Portland night out
When comparing plans, choose based on the kind of evening you want. Pastini may fit when the group wants a different kind of restaurant plan. Steeplejack Brewing Company may make sense when the outing calls for another option. Hale Pele is another comparison if the group is weighing different types of night-out venues rather than focusing only on Bluefin Tuna & Sushi.
The outdoor-seating question is one to handle carefully: do not choose this venue specifically for terrace time unless that detail is confirmed before going. If setting is central to the plan, compare it with venues where the setting is the reason to go, or keep the choice flexible. For broader planning, Portland restaurants guide and Portland bars guide are better starting points when the category is not fixed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bluefin Tuna & Sushi good for a date?
It can be, if the date is meant to be casual and the posted evening hours fit your plan. Bluefin Tuna & Sushi is in Portland, has a casual dress code, and is open Tuesday through Sunday in the evening. If you want to compare other options, Hale Pele and Pastini may also be worth considering.
Does Bluefin Tuna & Sushi have happy hour deals?
Do not count on happy hour being the reason to go. The verified venue details only confirm the regular hours: Tuesday through Thursday 4–9 PM, Friday and Saturday 4–10 PM, Sunday 4–9 PM, and Monday closed. Treat it as an evening stop and confirm any specials directly before going.
Does Bluefin Tuna & Sushi have outdoor seating?
Do not plan around outdoor seating unless you confirm it directly with the venue. The verified details only place Bluefin Tuna & Sushi in Portland and confirm its evening schedule and casual dress code. Keep the plan based on the confirmed basics.
Is Bluefin Tuna & Sushi open late?
It is open until 10 PM on Friday and Saturday. Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday end at 9 PM, and Monday is closed, so it works better for a standard evening plan than for a very late-night stop. If your group wants to compare another option, Steeplejack Brewing Company may be worth considering.
Is the food good at Bluefin Tuna & Sushi?
The verified details do not include ratings, awards, signature dishes, or menu specifics, so the safest answer is to judge it as a casual Portland option and confirm anything important before going. The strongest confirmed planning points are the evening hours, Monday closure, Portland location, and casual dress code.

Compare Bluefin Tuna & Sushi
Portland alternatives worth weighing
Compared with Pastini, Bluefin Tuna & Sushi is narrower and more craving-specific. Pastini is easier for groups with mixed preferences; this is better when sushi is already the plan.
Steeplejack Brewing Company and The Sports Bra are more useful for social, drinks-led outings. Hale Pele and Heavenly Creatures make more sense when the bar program is the reason to go.
If this is not the right fit
Choose Pastini when the group needs an easier consensus dinner. Choose Hale Pele when cocktails and atmosphere matter more than sushi.
How it compares in Portland
Bluefin Tuna & Sushi is the pick when the group has already agreed on sushi and wants an easy dinner. Pastini is safer for mixed tastes because pasta is a broader crowd-pleaser, while Steeplejack Brewing Company is better when beer, space, and a more social room matter more than the food category.
For ambiance-first plans, Hale Pele has the clearer drinks-led identity, and Heavenly Creatures is the stronger cross-shop if wine-bar energy is the goal. The Sports Bra fits a game-night group better than a quiet sushi dinner. Choose Bluefin Tuna & Sushi for category focus and low friction; choose the peers when the room, drinks, or group dynamic matters more.
