Related reviews:
It's not at the top of the sushi bar-ometer, but at this plain strip-mall room the fish is a phenom, surprisingly fine.
The Tuesday-nighters at Bluefin appear to be a force of foodie nature. Many restaurants crawl through this usually quiet weeknight restraining a yawn. But the regulars pour into this modest little Japanese BYOB in Plymouth Meeting with such steady and unrelenting force, the room threatens to erupt in spontaneous sushi combustion.

Style:
The strip-mall storefront doesn't promise much, but chef Yong Kim crafts some of the suburbs' best sushi for a devoted and lively clientele. The crunchy spicy Marlee roll is a favorite creation, but simpler here is almost always better. The kitchen needs more range and consistency to be an elite destination, but this is already neighborhood sushi at a high level.
