Blue C Sushi

07/30/2008 Posted by lots_of_crap

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.

If you’re looking for below average sushi at "cheap" prices this is your place. The wait was 20 minutes long for sushi that was anything but special – no one mentioned that we could go to the bar area. Wait staff was snotty and inattentive. I’ll not be going back. I can get better sushi for less somewhere else.

Cons: snotty wait staff

My wife and I absolutely love this place. We have made Blue C our regular spot for a quick sushi fix. We both look forward to seeing Alison's warm smile during our weekly stop to the village- it is clear the restaurant has improved drastically since she has been the hostess! The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Pros: Spinach gome, fresh Uni. Very clean, great staff.

Cons: Usually a long wait

You can't beat Blue C Sushi for immediate fish gratification, and for value. The sushi ain't GREAT, but it's real good when you just need a fish fix. The decor at the Fremont location is pretty cool. And the conveyor belt as delivery mechanism rocks the house. The service is only okay.

Pros: Conveyor belt, value for the buck

Cons: service

Nice & trendy looking on the outside, unsuitable for a restaurant on the inside. Here's the truth, college hired/undeveloped waiters go around asking if you JUST want drinks and expect 15% gratuity? The cold foods you get sits on the conveyor belt but before then it comes fresh from the refrigerator, ha! The hot foods sit uncovered on the belt so everyone it passes by has the chance to breathe/cough/sneeze on it. And the Coup De Grââce I found a sharp piece of rolled up clear plastic that resembled packaging tape that was in the back of my throat which I thought was a piece of their pickled ginger. Told the lady (poor excuse of a manager) in the dress that sat us about what I found and she did nothing. Paid full price with no comp for foreign object in food, and those blue lights aren't worth a damn. So enjoy!

I am from Japan! If youre going to copy a concept do it right! First the waiter made a mistake on our sashimi order and then the hostess came over to fix the problem and she made it worse. All the staff plus manager was in front of the computer and not paying attention to the customersso why do they have the blue button!!!! They should fix the blue button to turn red after 5 minutes has passed so they know which customers were waiting longer and which ones are upset. Also the customers should be able to order straight to the chef when ordering sashimi or sushi. The chef would know what the customer is ordering instead asking the waiter/waitress who has no idea After the non Japanese chef apologized and corrected our order we had paid and on our way out No one said thank you please come again. Dont they know thats very important..people do really come back for the service. Someone needs to tell the owner that the fish stinks from the head!

Pros: Bar

Cons: Service

This is a great restaurant when you just want to sit and eat some random sushi. Not the best sushi by a long shot, and rarely do they have anything beyond the mainstream, but nothing to scoff at. Servers are fairly slow and you might wait a while for your cheque, but it's cheap and quick. Seating can be challenging, particularly on the weekends, and there are a couple of tables not on the kaitin (conveyor belt) line - avoid those. Very kid friendly.

Pros: Quick and convienent, reasonably priced, average quality

Cons: Servers are a bit lax, not a lot of variety, seating and parking can be a pain

I recently went there on a Sunday for lunch. What I like: the novelty of the conveyer belt keeps the kids entertained and they'll eat the edamame and chicken; the sushi was fresh and the sesame noodles and teriyaki chicken were great; service was very fast and friendly. Not so great: the selection of sushi is limited; the dining experience feels fast-foody; parking in Fremont can be a pain. Overall for a quick good sushi bite it's great and we'll go back.

Pros: fresh sushi, kid-friendly, good service

Cons: parking, limited sushi options

I eat here quit often and the chefs and staff are always a delight. They are always busy but manage to keep up with the flow. I espically like it that the chefs will ask you if there is something they can prepare espically for you. I think that is a great touch and I definitly appreciate it.

Pros: Smiles everywhere, yummy selection

Cons: Closes early
