At Bellevue Square on Bellevue Way next to PF Changs, where JZ Rose occupied the first floor, will now be filled with two restaurants that have a lot of contemporary energy and Asian cuisine.
The first is Blue C Sushi, which many might be familiar with, as they have locations in Fremont, University Village, and now Alderwood Mall. This is not your usual sushi joint. Blue C offers affordable sushi, with a conveyor belt style delivery method, big screen TV’s, and a nice atmosphere with a clean design.
The second restaurant is Boom Noodle, a fairly new establishment, which currently has one location in Capitol Hill. Although Boom has no conveyor belt, it holds many of the same initial values of Blue C Sushi, offering affordable, authentic dishes in a stylish and hip atmosphere. The only difference is that they serve noodles rather than Sushi! Take a peak instead of the Capitol Hill location, and you’ll immediately feel the environment of natural wood and green colors.
Both restaurants are locally owned by a group of three, which are “making our city’s culinary scene more interesting,” according to their Website. Blue C Sushi plans to open in September/October, followed by Boom Noodle in November/December. This fills a need for affordable, fun, and locally owned restaurant options to eat at, in and around the Bellevue Collection.
Thank goodness!!
This last week has been an exciting one for Restaurant announcements! I I will surely be frequenting Blue C Sushi, Boom Noodle and Purple Cafe!
Can’t wait for some of these places to start opening.
Blue C should be great there, I never saw anyone in J Rose.
We need these cheaper places to eat as we have lost almost all fast food in DT.
I think JZ rose is always empty because no one can figure out what the hell they sell in there. From the outside it looks like a cabaret/nicknack/hallmark/thriftstore.
Blue C’ll offer some hefty competition for Sushiland! Like Justin, I’m really glad more affordable, less formal restaurants are coming to town.
