Blue Ribbon Sushi

Two words I can describe Blue Ribbon Sushi,... DELICIOUS & FRESH! We got the salmon tartare, three maki rolls, an assortment of sashimi including uni, toro, salmon, as well as hamachi, and lychee martinis! The Lychee martini was simply divine and they were not light handed when making it. All of the fish was super fresh! The rolls that they offer here are on the simpler side, however, they were made with perfection-- perfect amount of filling in one bite. Location wise, it was kind of tricky for us to find, as we got confused with the Brasserie right next door but we were able to locate it quickly. Our server was super kind, helpful, and attentive. The restaurant is beautiful inside and had a nice, chill vibe to it.They are on the pricier/upscale side but the meal was worth it!

Went here with friends and food was great, although it felt a bit rushed. The kitchen was extremely efficient so as soon as anything was done the next was brought out. I would've loved a bit more relaxed service but not a big deal just a reminder to make your own pauses here. My group of 6 was in and out in an hour. Sushi was great quality and a stand out was the crispy rice with salmon, very good! Cocktails were also delicious and strong.

I had a good afternoon experience here! It's a comfy, relaxing, dim underground environment, I felt a little sleepy at first. The miso soup was fancier than other places, with paste on the side for me to mix in. It comes with a good amount of veggies, bean sprouts and seaweed salad. Sprouts were a little too spicy for me. The salmon ikura bowl had more fish than rice, which is the ratio I like. The waiter saw me taking photos for yelp and offered me a free Sakura mocktail that they have not released yet, as well as mango and strawberry mochidoki ice cream for me to try! Very generous. The drink was a sour lychee flavor with a sugar rim and smelled pleasantly floral. The mochi had a soft thick exterior and creamy interior. I wish the ice cream was more strong in flavor. My only other disappointment would be the green tea that was too bland.

Sushi deluxe platter was extremely worth it. Cuts of fish were so buttery and thick. Great pieces that had really nice flavor. A nice variety as well. Takeout order placement was quick and easy. The edamame was really over steamed though which is the only reason for 4 stars.

Had high hopes for Blue Ribbon Boston since I've been to Blue Ribbon LA, and it opened up fairly recently in the city. Blue Ribbon is a fairly well-known establishment in LA, NY, Vegas, and now Boston. Loved my time and company here, but food was overrated in my opinion. You might want to check out the sushi restaurant next door for better value. Evidently, Blue Ribbon was empty whereas the sushi restaurant next door had long lines. Stacy, our waitress, on the other hand, was super kind and helpful! I appreciated her service. The interior was finished with wood. Simple, modern, and elegant. Great date spot! For appetizers, we each had miso soup (14) & the Yaki sea scallop with miso butter (16) which was tiny. One interesting thing with the miso soup was that you can customize it. And then came the sushi-sashimi combination (51) with Blue Ribbon roll (28) and otoro nigiri (36), which was also very underwhelming. I'm sure it was pricey but we weren't even full and the blue ribbon roll was actually disappointing in terms of taste. I didn't know lobster and caviar could ever be so tasteless. I may have inadvertently expected too much from the signature blue ribbon roll as it's named after the restaurant. Otoro was probably my favorite out of the entire meal, but you can't go wrong with toro! I wish I could recommend a standout signature dish from here, but sadly, I myself won't be returning for the food.

Amazing!!!Blue Ribbon is my go to birthday dinner spot and it has never failed me. We've ordered so much off the menu that this review would be way too long...I'll make it short.Blue Ribbon is a fairly new restaurant in the sushi biz. The interior is very well decorated, dimly lit and comfortable. The sushi is à la carte which makes your bill very expensive, but the quality is unmatched. The otoro is extremely fresh and light, almost like they caught it straight from the ocean 10 minutes before. One thing that I always get is the shishito peppers. Their crisp is unmatched, perfectly salted with just the right amount of spice . The cocktails are interesting and creative. Most of them have Japanese elements with a twist. Delicious!I have tried other sushi places for my birthday dinner, but i always want to go back to Blue Ribbon.

Authentic Nigiri, fast serving, dim light environment and bright sushi bar. In a nice location right next to Boston University school district.

Simply amazing cocktails, saki, sushi, sashimi and other Japanese dishes. We went for a bite at the sushi bar before seeing Echo & the Bunnymen play around the corner at the House of Blues. If there is one food I could eat for the rest of my life, Japanese is it and this place didn't disappoint. Go try it for yourself!

Full disclosure, I didn't order any sushi, as I was just doing a to-go order and wasn't in the mood for it. However, given how good the non-fish items were, I will certainly come back to sample the main side of the menu.The beef filet was cooked to perfection, even in a takeout container. One might assume that the steak option would be an afterthought at a sushi spot, but that would be incorrect here. The beef meatball app was almost as tender, and seasoned well. I think the two truffle sauces weren't very successful - they were a bit bitter, but neither dish really needed it. Also, the chicken wings were dope - almost bonchon style crisp level.

This place is super aesthetic! You can come casually but it would be a nice date spot. Service was amazing! He constantly cleared the table and was always there when we needed. Very attentive. The food was decent. The cucumber sunomono wasn't bad but the flavor wasn't super special. The Hamachi kama was delicious!! Would recommend to get it! Crispy Rice is supposedly popular but I think the sauce was a bit too overpowering. The texture of the dish was nice though. The sushi was pretty good! Didn't taste super fishy but the rice could've used more vinegar imo. For dressert, we got green tea creme brulee. It was soo yummy!!! Overall 4/5! Not a bar spot and the sushi was decent.
