The only reason I tried Sushi Blues is because I work downtown was in the mood to try a sushi place on my way home today. Big mistake!\r
\r
To start off, I had to hunt down someone to seat me, and I chose to sit at the sushi bar itself. The menu seemed lacking in any real sushi - it all seemed rather Americanized and hyped up. I decided on the Hosomaki combo and some green tea. The green tea they served me was in a MUG and basically tasted like green water. I was brought my salad fairly promptly - it was dressed with bottles generic ginger dressing. It was about another 15 minutes at least before my sushi arrived and there was only one other table seated who had already eaten! \r

Now, onto the sushi....the tuna was three different shades of red and looked like it had been sitting out overnight or something! the cucumber roll had unpeeled cucumber in it and it was transparent, a tell tale sign of old cucumber....the California roll was a joke! ALL OLD CUCUMBER with a hint of discolored crab and avocado in it...all of these wrapped in the stickiest, mushiest sushi rice I have ever eaten. \r
\r
It took forever to get my bill, and when I saw they charged me $2.50 for the mug of cold green water - that was the bamboo straw that broke the samurai's back....I paid my bill and left knowing I will never go back again. Overpriced, disgusting sushi and poor service to boot - forget it.
Pros: nice and quiet
Cons: poor service, old sushi, weak tea
