Blue Fugu Sushi

Probably a notch down, since 2 star is «I’ve tasted better», which you can probably apply to over half the restos anyways lol.
Funny thing, I actually read the previous review so luckily my expectations weren’t that high. I deliberately avoided the sushi, but decided that as I was ordering the chicken udon, I was just curious to see how was the sushi. She was right! Avoid this…
But the udon hit the right spot, it’s a bit better than average, and will recommend this as opposed to the crazy Canucks concession prices of course.
Nice service, nice husband/​wife team there.

Yesterday my boyfriend and I headed downtown for the hockey game but needed a quick bite to eat first. Avoiding food prices at the arena was a top priority.
Since we parked under International Village near Rogers Arena, we skipped up to the food court for what we hoped would be a healthy meal. Blue Fugu offered take-​away bento boxes at decent prices so I ordered the sashimi bento and my boyfriend got the (deep-​fried) fish bento.
I understand that you can’t expect much from food court food in general, but I would never encourage anyone to eat at Blue Fugu. My boyfriend’s deep-​fried fish was so thickly battered and yet under-​cooked that the batter around the fish was still raw, liquid batter! Further, my sashimi was still frozen! As in icy and solid!
With a number of great sushi restaurants in Vancouver — and probably near Rogers Arena — there should never be any reason to visit Blue Fugu. I feel bad giving them only one star because the woman working there was sweet. But really? Raw batter and frozen fish? I’ll gladly spend my money elsewhere.
