Kaiten Sushi in U Village
Tuesday, March 14, 2006
Blue C Sushi opened in U Village a while back. I've been a few times - the kids love it. High time I review it.
A Kaiten sushi place is where where they make the plates and place them on a conveyor belt. I think of it as immediate gratification, which is a big reason why my boys like it. On top of that, though, the food is pretty good.
The fish is always fresh, and though the assortment is pretty standard fare - shrimp, tuna, octopus, salmon - they occassionally toss in something like hamachi or toro. They do have a few specialty items like the spinach with peanut ginger sauce, spicy noodles and spicy tofu.
And don't forget the authentic Japanese desserts, particuarly the cream puffs. OK, that last part is a bit of an inside family joke. But they do have tasty cream puffs, and you can order more authentic Japanese desserts like green tea ice cream and mochi ice cream.
Blue C has a full bar, which is good because the wait for a table can be really long - it's a UW favorite. Though mixing cocktails with the Japanese anime cartoons they play on the giant screens on the back wall is something you do at our own risk. They do take out if you're in a hurry.
Overall it's not a top notch place, but it's good and reliable and kind of fun.
