My son also enjoys the noodles and likes the conveyor belt. Pay attention to the different colored plates (different pricing) or you...

If you're looking to introduce someone to sushi, Blue C is the place to go. Many of the dishes are "safe" and easy (cucumber rolls galore!), and everything is labeled so you can s...

ENDLESS waiting 12/3/2005

FAMISHED?! Never consider going to Blue C Sushi. The host told us that our wait time was 40 min. Patiently, we wait out 40 min. while we feel our stomach rumble with pangs of hunger. We see a blue light left on for 1/2 an hour and still, no attention was given by any of the staff. We see several people in their booths done with their meal, but continue to chat endlessly while throngs of hungry people wait by the door looking on mournfully. The staff are oblivious that there are people waiting to be seated. Shouldn't there be a limit to how long you can sit at your booth w/o eating anything? The killer: the host seated people who came in after we did. We were first on the list so why were they called first?! They don't have a consideration for the First come, first serve policy. Cons: Bad host, Bad service, Bad wait time more

Cool system...but Sushi should be the focus 11/28/2005

Had a group business lunch here the other day. Right up front I was concerned with the conveyer belt system...but I thought we should give it a try. Service is FAST...not only do you just pull things from the belt when you see something you like, but you hit a button and a waitress is there in moments. That said, I watched the same piece of mackerel surf the conveyer belt for over 2 hours. No, it was not swapped out. Yes it looked sweaty and nasty...and no telling how long is was there before and after we left. Sushi was OK, price was great. However, I'm no fan of bargain basement parachutes or bargain sushi. Go somewhere else. I would bet money that the 4pm $1 sushi happy hour special is done with the leftover sushi...ick. Pros: Fast service Cons: No expiration date more

Good food, good service. 8/8/2005

As far a sushi goes, this is a good place to go to. Good food, good service at a good value. The place is clean and easy to find, but parking is a little tricky, but not too bad to discourage. You'll like it. more

Incredible sushi at amazingly low prices 4/26/2005

We make this place a weekly event - the sushi is some of the best I've had (next to places that charge $5-10 a piece), they'll take requests happily, and we can usually get two of us fed for ~$20 (plus drinks). The miso is some of the best we've ever had. Watch out for the dinner rush, but otherwise you can get seated pretty quickly. The only downside to the place is their drink selection (though fine) is pretty limited. Pros: awesome sushi, great miso, hard-to-beat value Cons: limited bar, dinner rush more

not bad. 2/20/2005

Sushi right at opening time is great. Fresh. Flavorful. Comparable quality to some of the truly Japanese sushi in Seattle. Selection definitely gets boring. Good for a quick eat. Service was fine (at the push of button). I can definitely understand some of the negative reviews. Portions are small. Selection/quality not for the connoisseur. Also, if the place isn't busy the sushi must go a few dozen laps before getting eatin or thrown out. Hopefully the latter. Go to this place for what it is: quick, average sushi with an intersting setup. Pros: decent sush., fairly cheap., conveyor thingy. Cons: limited selection., limited quality. more

Fascinating Approach 1/4/2005

This place is fast becoming the favorite place for my girlfriend and I to eat sushi in the city. All of the other conveyor belt sushi places around have no service and few have any Japanese sushi chefs. (I don't know how much that matters anymore, but it's still nice to see). It's great to be able to mix and match sushi and non-sushi plates too. Not sure how long they have been around, but if they keep their prices low we'll be customers for a long time. Pros: Good selection, Fresh, Nice bar more

Eww 12/18/2004

I went to Blue C not really knowing what to expect, except conveyor belt sushi. If you eat there at rush hour, you can expect fresh pieces of sushi. Otherwise, be ready for not so fresh tasting fish. They have a limited selection of rolls, also. It is quick and inexpensive and you really get what you pay for. It's worth it to make it to a higher scale restaurant just to experience some better (and fresher) tasting sushi. I will definately not be returning. Pros: Inexpensive, Quick Cons: , Limited Selection more

Favourite Sushi and Fun atmosphere 8/10/2004

My husband and I discoverd this place 3 days after they opened in Oct. 2003. We ate there 3 times that week! We have since brought many friends there, and we each pop in whenever we can for delicious sushi, vegetables, and cricket cola! I love that (once I find parking) I can go in and eat a 15/20 minute lunch if I have to, or I can linger with friends for hours. I like to request sashimi and hand-rolls from the chef (or through the server if it's busy) and get it maid-to-order and fresh- delicious! We love the Tokyo-pop culture atmosphere...Great drinks upstairs in the bar, too. Pros: Fresh sushi, Great choices, Great Prices Cons: , Crowded after 6pm more

very impressed 7/25/2004

The default sushi selection rolling around on the belt may have been limited, but the chefs can make just about anything you want. Cool space, love the anime playing on the wall, great bar upstairs while you wait. I couldn't believe how low the bill was - this is a place you can actually afford to eat at frequently. Attentive, non-intrusive staff. Pros: ambience, value, convenience more

Yummy! 7/19/2004

I love this place. The food was wonderful and the ambience was very cool. Service was spectacular, our server really knew his sake, which was excellent. I've been recommending this place since then and will continue to do so. Pros: Knowledgeable staff, Great food more

Fun place 7/8/2004

Ive have been here twice. Once in the middle of the week for lunch and another at night around 8. Both times I found the service excellant, the food fresh anthe atmosphere relaxing and fun. The cheifs always ask how your food is and if they could make you somthing special. Both times I have eaten their the bill has been around $22 for two people including at least 3 drinks (on time including beer) I love the place. The staff was very attentive and friendly and the food afordable and really really good! Pros: Cheap Food/Great Food, Awesome Waitstaff, Friendly Cooks more

Kaiten Education 7/1/2004

I crack-up every time someone mentions the creativity of rolls at a Kaiten Sushi restaurant. Educate yourselves people. Take a trip to Japan! Kaiten Sushi is about value, not sushi chefs meandering around tying sprouts in a figure eight so you can believe you're geting good sushi. I work next to Blue C and eat there two times a week for lunch. Amazingly consistent, and I know they buy very high-end ingredients. If people want to over pay for pretty rolls that's okay...I'd rather just have the good stuff at great prices so I can afford gas! Pros: High Quality food, Fast delivery, Great prices more

Bring on the Uni 6/6/2004

I felt compelled to write because I was voting for Blue C in the ""Best of"" Citysearch and I noticed someone said the selection was limited because they didn't have Uni or Ikura...which is not true. All you have to do is ask the sushi chefs for it and they will whip it up for you. They have all the fixings so if you don't see something just ask. This place truly does rock for the prices they are charging. Thank goodness Seattle has this now. Pros: Prices, Fun design, service, Food Cons: , need more seats more

Fun, Value-oriented Sushi 6/3/2004

The sushi selection here is limited but what they do offer is not bad for the price. You will not find any uni, ikura or mirugai on the conveyor belt but this is a more user friendly type of sushi place. Many dishes are as low as $1.50 or $2.00 a pop. The most expensive dishes go for only $4.00! This would be a great place for a beginner to go to. The atmosphere is fun and rather loud. A giant video screen plays scenes from Japanese shopping districts. If you need something, just press the button in front of you and someone will be there within 30 seconds. Pros: good value, fun, quick service more

Pretty Place, great food 5/18/2004

It's hard for me to take these recommendations seriously anymore when I read ones like the one posted by spidweb. The key to Kaiten sushi is asking if you have questions. I've only been to Japan once but I guarantee this place uses higher quality ingredients than the Kaiten restaurants in Japan. I spoke to one of the servers and she said they only buy grade one fish--that gets delivered every day! A friend of mine who is an avid sushi eater said he thinks Blue C is the best sushi value in town. I have eaten there four times already and I think my collective bill was about the same as one stop at Nishino (Which is great too). Pros: Prices, atmosphere, Variety Cons: , good for kids more

Pretty place, lousy food. 5/13/2004

The place looks great from the outside. Nice design, cool turntable. But the food is, I'm sorry to say, terrible. The sushi wasn't fresh. Non-sushi items weren't appealing. And while the setup of the restaurant guarantees you'll have a non-stop assortment of gross food presented to you, good luck getting help from an actual human. Pros: decent parking under, pretty restaurant Cons: , non-fresh fish more

Fresh and Tasty 4/4/2004

This place is great. The quality and freshness of the food is above reproach. If one finds the place ""too busy"" at night, why not give it a try for lunch. The only two minor complaints I have had are these: the Anime are not always playing, it seems to be hit or miss as to when they are on; and there is a occasional ""loose roll"" on the sushi. Otherwise this place can't be beat. Pros: Fresh, Quality, Service more

Sugoi! 4/2/2004

People - I lived in Japan for 10 years as an educator and have eaten at kaiten sushi restaurants probably 1,000 times (ok - a slight exaggeration). A friend told me about Blue C. Skeptically, I went. In an objective word - The Best. Great variety, extremely fresh fish, delightful cooked items, fun atmosphere, and friendly chefs - not all Japanese, but who cares. Not even in Japan are all the kaiten chefs Japanese. Put a Blue C down in Japan and the Japanese would queue out the door for it. Pros: quality, value, ambiance more

Take it from someone who is Japanese 3/31/2004

Blue C Sushi is very good. I have been four times now. The head chef Mr. Miura is very traditional and knows what he is doing. I laugh at anyone who says the quality is just ok. Talk to Mr. Miura and have him explain the ingredients he is buying...much higher than what Kaiten bars in Japan buy, for sure. I recommend the crab gunkan and spicy tuna hand rolls. Very good. Pros: Good Prices, Fresh fish, Friendly service more
