Editorial Review for Blue C Sushi – by Hannah Levin
The Scene
The functional centerpiece of the high-ceilinged, clean-lined space is the robotic conveyor belt surrounding the open kitchen. While Japanese pop music pumps out of the overhanging sound system and anime videos stream along the back wall, fresh-faced chefs prepare single-serving plates of sushi, sashimi and fare, sending their creations on a carefully timed rotation around the bar. Patrons serve themselves while unobtrusive waitstaff offer icy glasses of beer or hot sake and help decipher the color-coded menu guide.
The Food
The classic favorites are well-represented and reasonably well-executed: spicy, ruby-red tuna rolls; slivers of sweet, smoky unagi; bowls brimming with salty, emerald-colored edamame; and a rich, smoked squid salad are all reliable choices. There are also tempura and katsu offerings. Desserts are worth the splurge, especially the sweet mochi.

Insider Tips
ParkingThe restaurant validates 90 minutes of parking in a lot below the building; take 34th to Evanston and turn right into the alley.

I have to say there is good sushi and bad sushi (not including upscale places) and this place ranks #2 on the bad sushi establishments (sushi land southcenter being the champ at #1, i think i see a pattern). Here is a list of things that went wrong. 1) limited menu (not really your fault just a business decision) 2) ordered Genmai tea ( didn't know you guys charge $1.75 for tea) not sure if we got genmai, they guy said it was. The tea bag was very poor quality (no taste). I can't blame the tea for 100%of the taste, the water it came out in was warm/cold. We asked for hot water again and still got warm water. took about 15 mins before the water turned green due to the tea bag but it required another 15-20 mins before we could taste it. 3) Ordered a spicy tuna hand roll. you can taste the spices but there was a salty taste in both our tuna. It was salty. i love salty foods but this was bad. 4) after eating a bunch of ginger to clean our pallets, we tried the yellow tail, the taste was very acidic. strange, not sure exactly why that was. 5) ordered a spider roll and asked if it can be freshly made, waiter said yes. 2-3 mins later we received it. at first it seemed cold, so i touched it :( i hope no one ended up eating that but who knows about this place 6) scallops had no texture and it was soggy. Here come the worst part, i still have that salty taste in my mouth ( no matter how much ginger i ate) i had to go upstairs to another establishment to order food to get that salty taste out.
Pros: it was at the mall and i'm lazy :)
Cons: pretty much everything

Nice atmosphere. Nice place to meat friends and get together. Food taste is good. Then I started noticing staff reusing the plastic covers that were removed from tables that people use to put their garbage in. I reported about 5 violations to the athoritys which they said were all fixed. Went back a couple weeks later and none were fixed. I noticed two busboys hand wiping out the plastic covers without sanitizing them. The went from the table dirty to a pile that they were just wiping out. Then the issue that messed it up it for me. The busboy picked his noise with his finger and came out with a big booger, wiped it on the towel and then continued to smear the towel on the covers. They put the pile of wiped covers right on the line with new sushi.
