Blue C Sushi

Blue C Sushi is on Fremont Ave in Fremont, very near the Fremont bridge. We go to this restaurant at least twice a month, if not more.

I love Blue C. I love that we can walk there. I love that everything on their menu is on a conveyor belt and you just pluck off items as they pass you by so that you can begin eating as soon as you sit down. I love that every item is on a colored plate and you need to just look at their handy-dandy chart to figure out what each color plate costs. I love their drink, the Mandarin Cooler. It is strawberry guava juice (from the PCC next door), vodka and something else. It is so good and so light and so low in calories (for a mixed drink). I love that they have happy hour twice a day, once in the afternoon and once at night. It makes me happy to go to Blue C. And go we do. Nearly every week.

Their sushi is no where near the best sushi you can get in Seattle. Not even close. But, you know what? Their prices aren't bad. It is a funky, eclectic atmosphere. You can eat as soon as you sit down (and since I am usually starving by the time we get to a restaurant, I greatly appreciate this). The food is always the same -- you can count on it. It is within walking distance from our house and it is in the self-proclaimed "center of the universe" (Fremont). I give it a consistent B+ (sometimes it's an A and sometimes it's a B- depending on the day, my mood, etc.)

He said: Yes, normally a good "safety" sushi joint. This particular trip wasn't my best experience. We got there early enough for the "Happy Hour Above the Belt" special. Michelle got normal off-the-belt items but I figured that since I in the bar area I should try something from the bar menu. I got the chef's sashimi special. In my own head I guess I was expecting nigiri. Regardless, all I got was some tastefully cut and displayed slices of raw fish. Delicious but not filling at all. By the time I waved down the waiter to order something with substance it was 6:05pm and past the happy hour. The happy hour specials are not really that good to begin with unless you want the avocado roll, and typically its only $0.25 off of what the plate would normally cost on the belt. At least if you're sitting at the belt you don't have to wave down the waiter to get you a roll once you've mistakingly ordered sashimi. My poor experience was completely my fault, but I'm not above letting that reflect on my opinion of the restaurant and wait staff. C.
